Official music video.

This is the third official single to be taken from her debut album, "Turn It Up". It's also her follow-up single to her previous two consecutive #1s. I think this track's going to be huge, it's going to be released on November 30th which is just perfect timing for a winter warming ballad, it's a great tune and choice for her Christmas single. It will easily reach the top 10 in my opinion but it also has a shot at the top 3 I'd say, and even #1 if she's able to perform it on X-Factor!

Posted by: Guru 31st October 2009, 10:59 AM

I think the radio support is going to be strong as always, so she probably has a good shot at Top 5. There are so many big releases that it's hard to keep track! An X Factor performance would send this straight to #1, as she would nail it, but I don't think they would showcase her! Without it, she won't reach #1 because of the X Factor finalists or Ke$ha. I know she is going Children In Need and Live Lounge though.

I think the video is beautiful, stylish and classy, but don't think it wil have a wide appeal.

Prediction: High Selling Top 3

Posted by: I Am FM11 31st October 2009, 11:15 AM

It will be a miracle if she performs on the X Factor. Speaking of that, she performed on the Italian version of X Factor looking at her official Facebook page.

Anyway, she has absolutely no chance for the #1 as the X Factor Finalists single will still be selling a lot (and Ke$ha by any chance). So I'll be looking for Top 5 or Top 10.

Love the song but I'm not sure how it's going to perform commercially. Hopefully another hit for her.

Posted by: I Am FM11 31st October 2009, 01:10 PM

It is already climbing up the iTunes chart (now #70) which is a good sign that it's going to be another hit.

Is no-one else hearing Avril's 'I'm with You' on the chorus?!

Posted by: I Am FM11 31st October 2009, 01:26 PM

Ah, yes! That's the song that is reminding me of. I've been thinking about this when I first heard it over a month ago but I couldn't remember what song is it. LOL

Posted by: DirtySyko 31st October 2009, 02:39 PM

Fantastic song tbh, better than Mama Do but it doesn't touch Boys & Girls imo.

Posted by: Aidan 31st October 2009, 02:44 PM

I love the song but I don't think it will perform as well as 'Mama Do' and 'Boys And Girls'. It should be another top 10 though.

Posted by: Guru 31st October 2009, 03:12 PM

Obviously the main purpose of this as single three is to sell the album, not 'Cry Me Out' itself. I'm sure it will go Top 10, confident Top 5, and boost the album back into the Top 20.

Better than 'Mama Do' and 'Boys & Girls', for me.

Posted by: Chris. 31st October 2009, 07:12 PM

Love this song, one of my favourites on the album. I agree with others that it won't do as well as Mama Do and Boys and Girls, hopefully top 5 though.

Posted by: J-o-e 31st October 2009, 09:02 PM

Love this, didnt really get into her last two but this is amazing.

Posted by: BrayFish 31st October 2009, 09:17 PM

The chorus reminds me of another song.
Maybe it is that Avril song but I don't recall ever hearing such a song.

Posted by: Guru 31st October 2009, 09:40 PM

I sort of know what you mean with the three big notes in the chorus. I think the songs (and vocals) are in totally different leagues though, although don't want to start a fight with anyone!

Posted by: RobSummers 31st October 2009, 10:38 PM

This would a great Christmas no.1. It really would but unfortunetly bloody X Factor have to steal everything

Posted by: Guru 31st October 2009, 11:52 PM

If it wasn't for the X Factor, I think they probably would have pushed it for Christmas #1 and released the physical later. I agree, this is a classic winter ballad. It's my favourite Pixie song at the moment.

Posted by: On Your Shore 1st November 2009, 12:36 AM

This is one of my favorite songs from the album, I think it's a good choice.

Posted by: Lukuzz 1st November 2009, 09:04 AM

My fave on the album, love it! hope it does well

Posted by: VLL 1st November 2009, 03:19 PM

Currently #72 on iTunes.

It's only 3 notes in a whole song, Pixie maintains a higher voice throughout the chorus whilst Avril only is high on 3 notes in her chorus. They're still two extremely different songs even with that minor similarity.


You are very right as far as selling the album is concerned, if you read this article she actually isn't too worried about how the single does but more worried about how much it will sell the album!


She definitely chose the right single based on what she wanted. Cry Me Out is everything classy, emotional, mature and more! All of her 3 singles are so different and equally amazing that I honestly can't pick a favourite actually, they're all great for 3 seperate occasions or moods so it's quite hard to compare.

Posted by: Chartbusters 1st November 2009, 03:22 PM

I liked Mama Do, not all that keen on Boys and Girls, this one is okay actually.

Posted by: Rain 1st November 2009, 09:54 PM

'Call Me Out'

Posted by: Callum24 1st November 2009, 10:28 PM

Love this, I can see it doing really well. It has a christmassy vibe to it, like something you'd hear on a M&S advert.

Posted by: Rain_DVF 1st November 2009, 11:47 PM

this isn't pixie lott, it's M&S pixie lott.
this is a nice song btw. better than 'mama do' but not as good as 'boys and girls', however it's a nice, diffrerent thing from her so that's great .

Posted by: Charli 2nd November 2009, 12:14 AM

The first time I heard this on the radio I thought, this is a right Christmas song.

I love the melody

Posted by: smith4u 2nd November 2009, 05:58 AM

Thanks For This video...nice song to hear...

Posted by: VLL 2nd November 2009, 06:12 AM

Now #67 on iTunes! Should be charting in the top 75 on Sunday already.

Posted by: I Am FM11 2nd November 2009, 09:25 AM

It was about #62/63/64 yesterday, but yep. Top 75 if it stays there.

Posted by: VLL 2nd November 2009, 02:57 PM

^ It's looking very likely. She's now up to #60. New peak.

Posted by: Guru 2nd November 2009, 08:29 PM

#56

Posted by: VLL 3rd November 2009, 04:10 AM

Now #52! At this rate, she'll reach the top 40 in no time!

Posted by: LiamM 3rd November 2009, 07:06 PM

#44 now

Posted by: InLoveWithMusic 3rd November 2009, 07:12 PM

This is my favourite song of her album. The video is amazing too. GO PIXIE!

Posted by: Flatcap 3rd November 2009, 07:26 PM

First song by Pixie Lott that I have heard. Very impressive. Nice, catchy beat to this.

Posted by: VLL 3rd November 2009, 08:34 PM

I strongly recommend you get her album! It's equally as amazing as Cry Me Out!
There's also a competition going on where you can win tickets to her live: http://www.sugarscape.com/node/423638 Just thought I'd share it with the few Pixie fans on here.

Posted by: ♫ Boyan ♫ 3rd November 2009, 08:43 PM

the video is beautiful and I adore the song

Posted by: Guru 3rd November 2009, 08:47 PM

Thank you for that link, and what an amazing picture of her!

Posted by: I Am FM11 3rd November 2009, 11:33 PM

^Yes, that pic was amazing. Shame, I can't really go and see my fav acts. My area is too far from the gigs they'll play on and they don't go to Exeter (Most major acts don't! The latest one I can think of is Dizzee Rascal which was last month.) which will just take 30-40 minutes to reach there. And add the so-called lovely classwork to finish.

And CMO's almost Top 40 on iTunes. I think I'll wake up tomorrow see it Top 40.

Pixie Lott to be the "face" of Nokia's Illuvial range


Since we brought you news of the new Nokia Illuvial range it's been announced that Pixie Lott will be "the face" for the new series.

A Carphone Warehouse exclusive, the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Illuvial, Nokia 6700 Illuvial and the Nokia 6303 Illuvial are being flung into the Christmas market.

Pixie Lott is quoted as saying: "I spend loads of time on my mobile, so it's important to me that it looks good. The phones in the range all look fab – they're stylish and yet still girlie".

Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Illuvial is due to be available on a PAYG basis from £99.95, pay monthly from £15 a month.

The Nokia 6700 Illuvial will cost £179.95 on PAYG and available on a pay montly basis from £20 a month, while the Nokia 6303 Illuvial gets a PAYG price tag of from £79.95, and pay monthly from £10 a month.

Posted by: VLL 4th November 2009, 01:32 PM

Not top 40 quite yet, stuck at #41 but once it's in it should pick up the pace again. One negative aspect of the release is that it's crushed B&G's hopes of the lengthy run Mama Do had but all eyes on Cry Me Out now.

Posted by: I Am FM11 4th November 2009, 01:44 PM

Cool.

Even if 'Cry Me Out' is not yet going to be released, 'Boys And Girls' won't be performing better IMO. Hopefully her Switch Live performances coming Sunday could give both CMO and BAG a boost!

Posted by: Jack 4th November 2009, 01:57 PM

This song has literally just clicked with me. I love it! She looks so stunning, a bit like Hayden Panettiere too! I totally get the big christmas song thing too as well, hope it's a hit for her.

Posted by: danieljohn. 4th November 2009, 05:15 PM

I think this song is much superior to high school musical knockoff Boys & Girls and Mama Do

Posted by: VLL 4th November 2009, 05:32 PM

Mama Do and Boys & Girls are far from any cheese those high school musical losers produced. Even if the lyrics are a little unadult-like, she's only 18 and like she said, she wrote the songs on TIU because it's what she can relate to at her age now. She's obviously going to mature lyricswise as she grows older. . .

Posted by: Guru 4th November 2009, 07:50 PM

I used to live near Exeter and the trains around the area are very quick (and direct) to London! Give it try, it's worth it.



I'm sure they will! It's also on the radio and will be televised next week!

Posted by: LiamM 4th November 2009, 07:56 PM

Now # 39 on iTunes

Timbaland 'wants to work with Pixie Lott'



Timbaland has reportedly approached Pixie Lott to collaborate with her in the future.

The US producer, who releases his album Shock Value II on December 7, is said to have been impressed after hearing Lott sing at a recording studio in Los Angeles this week.

According to The Sun, Timbaland suggested that he work with the singer on material for her next album.

Lott previously revealed that she is eager to release material Stateside and claimed that some of the tracks on her debut album Turn It Up were written specifically to appeal to the US market.

I this waaaay more than MD and B&G....really hope its Top 10

Pixie won Best Uk & Irish act at the MTV EMA's tonight

Posted by: danieljohn. 5th November 2009, 11:14 PM

It's the production that makes B&G sound exactly like I Want It All from HSM3.

Posted by: Guru 5th November 2009, 11:39 PM

She also won best PUSH Act!

Posted by: I Am FM11 6th November 2009, 11:58 AM

Glad to hear that. I knew she will win those!

Posted by: VLL 6th November 2009, 01:23 PM

Stuck at #39 on iTunes, still. But up to #47 in the midweeks! It's definitely suprised my expectations of how much it would sell and how high up it would chart this week.

Yay me too! She really deserved them, so pleased for her. She looked so stunning at the Awards as well:

Posted by: I Am FM11 6th November 2009, 01:31 PM

I don't think it's #39. It was #34 yesterday then the iTunes chart itself (feed) reverted and it's stuck now at #39. We can't rely atm on the chart until it has been fixed!

Anyway, nice dress.

Posted by: gooddelta 6th November 2009, 03:10 PM

excellent that she won those two awards

her original fan (no longer biggest judging by the people in this thread ) is very pleased for her

Posted by: Rain 6th November 2009, 10:26 PM

The Way The World Works was used in Private Practice this week.

Posted by: I Am FM11 6th November 2009, 10:37 PM

Hmm... not sure what is Private Practice?

Oh, never mind actually. I've forgotten about it.

Up to #32 on iTunes!

Watch her full Switch Live performance here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/switch/events/live2009/lineup/pixie_lott.shtml

1. Turn It Up
2. Here We Go Again
3. Boys And Girls
4. Cry Me Out ()
5. Mama Do

Posted by: Guru 9th November 2009, 05:46 PM

Why ?

Some people I know who were producing the event said that she and Black Eyed Peas were head and shoulders above the rest, and Alexandra was also solid. The same can't be said for The Saturdays though, apparently.

Posted by: I Am FM11 9th November 2009, 06:01 PM

Looking at almost every performances possible, I thought N-Dubz were the best. They were awesome at almost every way possible.
BEP did great. Fergie's voice has improved (especially at MMH)!
Alexandra did decently, but she performed only 2 songs... her #1s.
The Saturdays? Not sure atm. I've been finding their full performance. I've heard 'Just Can't Get Enough' and 'Issues' atm which they were decent.
Shaheen (dunno the last name), a young male singer... I heard his cover of 'Who's Loving You' yesterday on Radio 1, which is quite good for his young vocals.
JLS were probably the worst of the line-up IMO but they are great dancers, on a positive note.
Pixie did pretty well, considering the sound were different from the studio recordings. Especially, at the 'Boys And Girls' one, the drummings, is much much better at live!

Her performance for 'Cry Me Out' was well... pretty emotional to say the least.

Posted by: Guru 9th November 2009, 06:11 PM

I just got to 'Mama Do' on this recording from Switch... I love how much everyone is singing along! She is so much more popular outside forum world!

Posted by: slowdown73 12th November 2009, 11:20 PM

Really like this song. Heard it quite a few times already. Much better than boys and girls.

Posted by: Jamieed 12th November 2009, 11:41 PM

Heard it on Radio 1 Today.
Really like it. Great vocals, good 3rd Single .

Posted by: zero 13th November 2009, 12:33 AM

CMO is the best song on the album imho hope it goes top 5 a nice wintery ballad
