Template:Multiple issuesLeah LaBelle Vladowski (born September 8, 1986), better known as Leah LaBelle, is a Canadian R&B singer, currently signed to Epic Records/So So Def Recordings. LaBelle was the twelfth place finalist on the third season of American Idol, as the wild card selection of Paula Abdul. She is recording her debut studio album. She also gained popularity and a large following by posting YouTube cover videos, for several years.
I honestly don't consider myself famous. Honestly. I think that being on American Idol is not really real fame. To me it's kind of like a little bit of exposure and publicity. I think fame comes from actually doing something big with your career.
