Jackson 'wants Leona for O2 concerts'

Michael Jackson reportedly wants Leona Lewis to perform with him during his 50-date residency at the O2 arena.

According to The Sun, the 50-year-old popstar believes Leona would be the perfect replacement for his sister Janet on the 1995 duet 'Scream'.

"Michael has a list of singers he feels could do Janet justice - and Leona is top," said a source.

"She's massive all around the world and he feels this duet would give both their careers an even bigger boost."

It was reported last week that Jackson was hoping to get Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake to join him at the London shows.
