Right, first off, who the fuck?

Secondly, I read in the Times today (I hadn't heard of her before this) that she now holds the record for the fastest selling UK album ever, faster than Arc Monk's album (can't even remember if it was their first or second).

Isn't all this reality TV shit getting a bit out of hand now? I mean, really, how good is her album really going to be? Shit, that's how.

*hangs head in shame*

I really like her. Well. I really like ONE of her songs and I bet all of you people will guess which one as this is the only one that IS publicised on TV.
garr.
It's sooo catchy I'm angry with myself for liking it!


I don't have a TV

on a reality TV scale of 1-10, 1 being Ric Waller and 10 being Girls Aloud, how good (shit) is she?


5

She's "The New Whitney", take that how you want.


She's a good singer in a Mariah Carey sense.

Hits the notes really well sometimes at the expense of character or emotion. Suspect she is one of these people with singing talent but no real personality/character/creativity so it comes down to the team they get working with her...


Firstly I need to get this straight

who is Ric Waller (I'm rubbish with names) and I really don't like Girls Aloud.

Ok ok lets think about this.
well I think she has a really good voice.
but her song "Keep Bleeding" or whatever it's called is a bit repetitive as "Keep Bleeding" is repeated over and over again. however it's a really good song and catchy too.

I'd give her a 6 out of 10.

1 being awful

and

10 being totally amazing

because I have never heard any of her other songs.

p.s. if you didn't know she's from the "X-Factor".


In fairness they seem to have really put the work in her

in terms of not rushing out an album straight away and spending a year getting songs together, developing her image etc.

They're trying to launch her as a new Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston so it's not gonna be the kind of thing I'd buy but I'm sure they've put the time and expense into hiring the people to try to make it as good as it can be in terms of what it is, if that makes sense.


A YEAR?

Wow, I'm actually quite impressed I've managed to avoid hearing about her for this long.


Fastest selling DEBUT album in the UK

Oasis hold the record for Fastest Selling UK Album with Be Here Now (ha!)

Her debut single is the shit. Her album apparently, not so much


Fair play

I'm sure she's no better/worse than Oasis.


Fine

Her SECOND single is the shit. I'd forgotten about the first one, so it doesn't count


i like the single a lot

the album will be pants though


Shane Ward

I had no idea he was really that "famouse".

He's even known in the US!

I was surprised and may I add not pleasantly!


She has sold shitloads

at work this week.

I only found out who she was on wednesday.


I like the song ive heard

mainly because it, along with sean kingston, seems to be leading the way in writing pop songs with ultraviolent lyrics

"you cut me open and I keep bleeding
i keep, keep bleeding"

brilliant.


^^hahahaha


Sure that's not

Linkin Park? How strange.


?

isnt her single all about periods?
