Leona will perform 'I See You' ? So which is going to be the next single? I'm confused now ....

 

Well there were adverts for 'Avatar' throughout the show tonight. The film is out this week and she is doing the movie song so unless she is going to put us in a coma with Happy again I think 'I See You' is the only option. It is too early for 'Outta My Head'.

I m with you on that. But I somehow feel Alexandra (who sb here said performed a WOW listen at the final) will soon go meet them! ( trust me I won't shed a single tear! shoo!)

 

She will have sold 400,000 albums by the end of the year.

Bad Boys will have sold 550,000.

She has the biggest selling X Factor single.

 

'Broken Heels' will be a big hit after two high profiles performances tomorrow night and on the RV.

 

She has the massive 'The Silence' to release and I'm pretty sure when she releases in the US the album will be repackaged here.

 

She isn't going anywhere.

I hope Alex performs The Silence on XF! I know she's gotta promote Broken Heels, but she needs to sing a ballad now!

@ Berty: I feel there is nothing special about her, nothing that makes her stand out from the huge mass of that kind of female singers. I may be wrong but I would say a second album will be as far as she's going to go. (probably runners up-Jls will outlive her). I won't insist though, I don't usually mess up with fans! :D We will all know the answer in time. ;)

Don't worry I'm not a stan.

 

I just feel that she has something about her that puts her ahead of Leona for me. For some reason she connected with so many people on that X Factor final that she is easily going to ride out her first album. Her performance of 'The Silence' on Paul O Grady was immence.

 

I honestly think JLS huge sales are partly down to those five album covers but we will have to wait until their second album to find out. I listened to the JLS album and I was completely bored and I liked the first two singles.

Seems a bit unlikely beyond a handful of the most hardcore of fans in the first week. The average person couldn't afford approaching £40 on four different slipcases.

I wouldn't be too sure. I have heard of many people that have all five.

What exactly does that mean that kind of female singer regarding Alexandra Burke.She has an amazing voice, is a great dancer and a good live performer.I am not sure who you are comparing her to if there are lots of other singers like her-who exacly?

I am sure if you have spent time on the JLS website you would know that their fans have been campaigning for months to buy all 5 covers and good for them.No one knows how long JLS or Alex will last but with the right material I am sure it will be a long time.Alex has sold over 2 million singles and albums she has an American recording contract so you are definately wrong about her not lasting.

I wouldn't be too sure. I have heard of many people that have all five.

 

Hundreds of thousands of people? I don't think so. ;)

 

It's four, there's four slipcases. Underneath each slipcase is the normal album. The slipcases are only available on HMV.com, whereas most sales would surely come from HMV stores, supermarkets etc from casual buyers.

 

Forget the slipcases... yes, some hardcore fans will have bought them all, but it'll be a tiny percentage of the overall.

Trust me there are physcos out there that think there are five versions including the one without a slipcase.

 

There is no point in debating it anymore really but I would put money on their sales not being half as big as they are without these slip cases.

 

 

 

 

Mini Viva are very slowly climbing up 187 now, shame it looks like it is going to flop.

I wouldn't have thought a great percentage of their overall stock was slipcases, purely for the HMV website. If the slipcases were more than half the reason for their sales so far, we'd be talking approaching 300,000 slipcases sold so far! :o And tens of thousands buying 4 (or 5) each!

 

Not arguing for the sake of it I assure you, just I don't think it's the most significant reason for their overall fantastic sales, just a small section of them. Though whatever the reasons for their sales, it's impressive for them.

 

(This seems off the beaten track in the iTunes thread, haha! :P)
