does anyone remember her? she had two singles- when i lost you and automatic. but album was cancelled. shes currently recording and finishing off album, which is apparently set for release at the end of the year. what your thoughts on her, she has this really lovely ballad-close to me.

Good singer and she's apparently been doing a lot of songwriting for other artists. It will be interesting to see how her sound has developed.

 

When I Lost You's video looked a lot to me as if they were trying to get the same feel to it as Shakira's highly successful Wherever etc. I didn't care much for Automatic.

I love her :wub: That tune that leaked last year (that eventually turned out not to be her) called Can't Slow Down was also won of my faves of last year!

 

I'll believe she's recording new material when I hear something...

I loved 'Can't Slow Down', I was gutted when it was revealed that was by someone else. :(

 

'Automatic' is amazing. :wub:

Nice girl :wub: I love her pins :D

When I Lost You was a great track.

what is it with this forums fascination for second rate ex popstars?

 

at best s.w. was average, totally unoriginal, just another pop princess wannabe.

y go on the topic if you dont lke it?

have you no concept of what the forum is about?...

 

sorry?..is this a board where you can only praise acts?

 

and dont talk in text speech, its against the rules.

You weren't just criticising the act. You were criticising people for talking about her, which you went on to do.

 

When I Lost You was great, and she had a lot of the qualities to make it as a pop star, but the timing wasn't quite right for her. If she had the material Rachel Stevens was given she'd have done better. She seemed genuinely interested in music, but lacked the drive to be a big pop star. Maybe she's better off working as a songwriter.

no i was questioning why so many here liked flopstars....

 

the point here being that these are all faceless bints who are just another product. why should s.w. write for someone else? why cant she write for herself? that would be credible. but s.w is just another easily forgettable product who created some disposable pop, and thats the crux, once its been done its thrown away.

woopsy. silly me!

No matter how disposable you think she is, 'Automatic' remains an absolutely classic song for me. :wub:

 

I don't particularly care about her otherwise though.

mushy..... its not all about successful artists, if we like singers who are considered 'flopstars' then we are allowed to like them :P , and she was actually a very good artist. i wouldn't necessarily call a no.6 and no.11 artist a flop.

The sad thing about the industry these days is that if you don't get to #1, it's seen as a flop, which is just ridiculous :wacko:

success comes in different forms though, take cathy dennis, c**p as a pop artiste but great as a pop writer, maybe s w could follow suit!...lol

 

tbh 'when i lost you' was a decent enough pop song, but she was quite forgettable, being very unoriginal in a market brimming with 'wannabes'. i dont think that she was that good, neither did her record company who dropped her! lol. but if you like her, then thats cool.

thankyou mushy :D

maybe the person is foreign and was going "and go on" like in that Rodrigo y Gabriela :lol:

A flop isn't just determined by the position though, it's how fast it falls down the chart and if it sells very little in the long run, then a high position can mean nothing.
