British pop singer Leona Lewis won strong fan support at her first ever full-length concert Monday night, performing on familiar territory in the east London neighborhood where she grew up and still lives. It marked a successful return to the public eye for the pop singer who was punched in the face by an emotionally distraught man at a London book signing last month. She has performed live in the past, but limited herself to singing just a few songs as she developed the material needed for a full-length show. She performed her signature hit Bleeding Love, which topped the charts in Britain and America, and also showcased numbers from her upcoming second album Echo, which features R&B song Whatever It Takes, ballads such as the new single Happy and even a thumping dance tune called Outta My Head.
