It looks like it was the first day back at work for the girls today after the Christmas break. So hopefully they are now sorting what to do next. I think they have 3 strong single possibilities in 'The Way You Watch Me', 'Faster' or 'Get Ready, Get Set' and I think they could all be great singles. In one sense that's a great position to be in to have so many single choices but in the precarious state the band are in they have to choose the right track :(

Ha, I'd forgotten about that. They did some promo in the Philippines. I seem to recall the chart positions they achieved there were only radio positions.

Okay, Single 4 needs to be announced this week. Sent to radio this week. Video in next two weeks. I have hope of a Dancing On Ice performance and hope of this campaign being saved!

I loveeee For Myself.

I feel like the moment for them to attempt worldwide has gone.

 

I'm convinced that moment was the release of Higher feat. Flo Rida. It wasn't massive in the UK, but it was the perfect crossover song to send to other countries.

Agreed, and with the Flo Rida tag it could get somewhere actuallly. Much too late now though. I can think of a few European artists (Aura Dione and Marit Larsen to name 2) who have released a song a year later in territories other than their homes and had massive hits, but that was at maximum a year later. By the time they'd reached Europe or wherever, it'd probably be nigh on a year and a half. I think it's too late. And too late for them to attempt worldwide at all probably, I also agree with 2ndAdventure - we wouldn't want them to do a Natasha Bedingfield and leave us for wherever they go, then come crawling back when it goes tits up but being unwanted and irrelevant.

The best time to go Worldwide now would be with a Greatest Hits album. If we get it late this year in the UK and early next year Worldwide they could stand a chance.

 

Obviously a brand new song to lead the album in the UK and Ireland, Higher should lead the album Worldwide because as far as they are concerned it is a complete new album.

'Higher' is by far the best option to release worldwide. The intro naming all of the girls is at least original and helps the public "know" them a bit. It's the perfect song to be introduced with.

 

I don't get why they can't just send their songs to radio in other countries? Surely that's all it takes these days?

On Your Radar is #155 this week.

They really need a new single/video out ASAP, Album already at number 155 and its just going to keep dropping! So sad because i love the album and its by far there best!

f*** sake. :( That's absolutely terrible, just think how many old albums are ahead of them!

They had their first gig of 2012 tonight at the charity concert.

 

No Vanessa.

No single news.

Setlist was Notorious, Forever is Over, Missing You, Ego, All Fired Up, Last Call, My Heart Takes Over and Higher.

 

EDIT -

 

RT @LewisCorner: Oh no :-( RT@thebeanboy23: Guys I saw @vanessawhite! She was at the gig in costume but left in tears!

She left in tears?!

 

Cue all the bullying accusations.

The other girls also didn't acknowledge Vanessa's absence on stage tonight...

More rumours on Popjustice saying Frankie also looked like she'd been crying on stage and that they didn't look like they knew which version of 'Higher' they were performing.

Maybe it was just emotional for them all to to be returning? Maybe they got some bad news as well, but why on earth would Vanessa leave though? talk about being professional....

 

Last Call being performed :wub: maybe this actually could be single 4!!!

The Vanessa thing is quite juicy. As far as I'm aware they've always given a reason why a member isn't present on stage, prior to now.

 

As much as Last Call is lovely, it'd be the most idiotic decision to follow a mega-flop ballad single with another ballad.

 

*Please take the following comment lightly* If they were to announce they were splitting up, it'd make for a good final single, complete with a montage video - lol.

Aw I wonder what's up. :(

How stupid of them not be organised though?

Do they really take this seriously? They should know what their doing. I can't wait to find out what happend to Vanessa.

People on Popjustice are suggesting it might have something to do with her voice (i.e being advised not to sing or else being too frustrated/upset with it to sing), but I think it's probably just something personal like family/friend stuff. She seems really tough so whatever it is must be serious.
