Leona Lewis has praised fellow UK singer Amy Winehouse, claiming she is "an amazing artist".
The X Factor winner also told Parade that she worries about the image of the troubled singer in the public eye: "A performer's privacy is taken away. The media are always there. You can't make your mistakes in private."
"I have the advantage of a great support structure. I get honest opinions from my family and friends. They aren't always telling me what I want to hear, but the truth helps keep my head straight."
Both Leona Lewis and Amy Winehouse will be performing on the same bill later this month, when they play live at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday celebrations in London's Hyde Park on June 27th.
