Leona Lewis is coming from Alicia Keys’ spot.

Leona Lewis has ben compared to Mariah Carey since the start of her career and today on The X Factor (Arabia), she lived up to the title of mini-Mimi. In addition to showing off her skills on the piano, Lewis flexed her diva muscles by refusing to sing a cappella for her international fans.

Lewis effortlessly belted renditions of “Trouble” and “Bleeding Love” as she gave the X Factor (Arabia) contestants a glimpse of what life is like after reality television. However, the songbird refused to keep the music going when she got off the stage and rejected a requested a request for an impromptu performance.

What exactly did Lewis say to the host of The Xtra Factor when she asked her to sing just a few seconds a cappella? “Eek! No!” Watch the awkwardness unfold below and pay close attention to the interviewer’s reaction:
