It seems to be building well, Capital now playing it quite a lot, and Radio 1 still have it on the playlist; with still over 2 weeks until it is released.

I dont think there is any big TV appearance planned though - which is a bit strange seeing Syco waited sooo long.

 

I think this may turn out to be a solid top 10 for Ella in the UK, helping to build her base and establish her for single #2 (Empire? which is supposed to be even better!) in a couple of months.

 

 

I would be interested in Ghost getting a US release, I reckon it might really smash over there!!

I'd say this is looking like a possible #1 contender, and well deserved too. :D

It's top 100 on preorders. She's coming for that smash.

Looks like Ella will be performing Ghost on BGT this monday!!!!!!! :D -- assuming this is reliable!!

^ Great news. That should get a lot of people on board who may otherwise have forgotten about her/thought of her as irrelevant. Although it's annoying that the release date is June 9th as a big TV slot always seems like a bit of a waste when people can't buy and have the song straight after.

It looks like Cheryl is definitely releasing her new single the same day as Ella, which is straight after Cheryl's performance on the final (assuming the Daily Star is reliable). I think Ella would have a better chance of getting the #1 if she released a week early as she is doing better on pre-orders currently that 'Sing' plus it'll be closer to her semi-final performance. I can see Cheryl getting a lot of hype with her comeback single and beating Ella, but then again she is likely to fall quickly down the chart until airplay gets going so it'll be interesting anyway.

Yeah it'll be interesting alright. I wonder if the label will bring it forward. I think Ella would be in with a good shot of beating Cheryl anyway due to the large pre-orders and airplay but it's hard to judge as we haven't even heard Cheryl's song. Even though I dislike how there's such a gap between Ella's BGT performance and release date, in a way it would be cool to see that chart battle so I kind of hope she stays put.

Ok getting ready for Ella on Britain's Got Talent tonight!! on stage 9pm apparently.

 

Will be interesting to hear Ghost performed for the first time as a single version and to see what the set is like on the show, hope they do the BIG song justice!

 

Tweets from rehearsal listeners say its fantastic!!!!

 

Looking forward to it :0)

Amazing performance. This song is completely stuck in my head! Hope this becomes a massive hit for her worldwide.

Up to 36 on itunes!

 

That performance was outstanding!

Yeah it was very good and she's a confident performer. The only criticism I have was that I think she should have toned down the ad-libs towards the end as I was reminded of Jessie J during one particular run :no:. It's such an instant song though. I'd imagine loads of households were underwhelmed when they heard she was the guest act and then heard the song and were like daaaaaaaayyyyyym (or British equivalents of such a reaction).

My love for this song is strangely growing and growing. I think the fact that its lyrics are so relatable will help too. I now think than rather a quick Diana Vickers style #01, it will be one of the bigger selling songs of the year. I hope so anyway.

 

Oh and gorgeous performance, she seems really sweet and genuine too.

I think she did great! really good, interesting vocal and I liked this single arrangement.

 

I wish she'd have got that red dress on tho, flaunt it grrrrl!!!

 

No 36 in iTunes so far 2 hours after the show is great going! and this song is a grower!!!

i thought the song was totally in the wrong key, and was really underwhelmed :(

I think the fact that its lyrics are so relatable will help too.

I know right? Don't we all keep going to the river to pray? It's so universal!

This song is so inoffensive it pretty much IS offensive.

Haha, well the message is there for people trying to get over someone :P.

Wish it was released this Sunday instead of next Sunday!

Her BGT performance (there's some weird speeded up versions on YT but this is good!)

 

Ella Henderson BGT Ghost

 

 

It got to #30 on iTunes as a pre-order so good job...
