March 9, 201510 yr Love the video! :D She looks incredible in it. They have messed this release up so bad though, they should have made the video earlier and got it out about a month ago. Stupid...
March 9, 201510 yr Oh, I thought something was up Jimmy :drama: Possibly my favorite music video by Ella so far! Hopefully Mirror Man can go top 40.
March 9, 201510 yr Possibly my favorite music video by Ella so far! Hopefully Mirror Man can go top 40. Not sure this will make top 40 tbh. Currently #240 on iTunes with Loose Women, Live Lounge and Comic Relief this week- Chatty Man the week after. Sure she's doing some radio interviews with Heart etc, but not sure its gonna be enough this week! Hope I'm wrong.
March 12, 201510 yr Ella on Live Lounge today, singing Mirror Man and a cover of James Bay - Hold Back The River! Interesting what she does with that cover!
March 12, 201510 yr After Live Lounge, Mirror Man is up to#77 and the album to #21. Performance on Comic Relief tomorrow night, but just found out she is doing Yours.... Edited March 12, 201510 yr by JimmyT
March 13, 201510 yr Chapter One (non Deluxe) now up to #7 on iTunes!-- mainly due to it being promo discounted at £5.99 I guess, with a bit of Mirror Man promo thrown in... Next Mirror Man promo is Wogan show Sunday, then Chatty Man next weekend....

Next Mirror Man promo is Wogan show Sunday, then Chatty Man next weekend.... I guess she changed to Yours because Mirror Man is under-performing, that's a real shame because Mirror Man could have really taken off after tonight. It'll be nice for Yours to have a boost, though!
March 13, 201510 yr I guess she changed to Yours because Mirror Man is under-performing That doesn't make sense if that's the case though. It's the current single and it needs all the help it can get. I don't think it's her decision what is performed though somehow.
March 13, 201510 yr I guess she changed to Yours because Mirror Man is under-performing, that's a real shame because Mirror Man could have really taken off after tonight. It'll be nice for Yours to have a boost, though! It was probably just due to the song having more fitting lyrics for a charity telethon!
March 13, 201510 yr It was probably just due to the song having more fitting lyrics for a charity telethon! Exactly! I'm sure they'd have loved to do Mirror Man, but it didn't fit. The only way it would of worked would be as part of a comedy sketch, but the song isn't really known so that wouldn't run.... Still great promo, and the album is #7 now so good chance of top 5, with Yours having a strong climb... Edited March 13, 201510 yr by JimmyT
March 13, 201510 yr People are forgetting Comic Relief is meant to be jovial - It's different to CIN! Sam Smith's song is the first time there has been a ballad-y single in years! I know Ella doesn't have the single for CR, but Mirror Man is at least a bit more upbeat than Yours.
March 13, 201510 yr Mirror Man is not inappropriate for CIN at all! If it doesn't go top forty it serves them right for sitting on such an obvious single for so long and releasing slush like Yours instead.
March 13, 201510 yr Comic Relief isnt all comedy, it has a serious and often sad message. Let's see how they stage Yours. On Mirror Man, it hasnt had that much promo really- this (launch) week the only performance has been on Live Lounge- which is a side show for the cover. She had a chat on Loose Women. It has been hurt most by lack of commercial radio support mainly Capital but also Heart, wearefreeradio. I guess that's partly politics because Syco seem to have given the BBC most the time and exclusives for the launch.
March 13, 201510 yr I don't think holding back the video either worked for them. TV play could have been going much sooner.
March 13, 201510 yr There have been less and equally inappropriate songs (lyrically) performed on CIN before. Unless the policy this year is to 'tug at the heart strings' with drippy ballads (aimed more at Sam Smith than Ella btw).
March 13, 201510 yr Did she do both Yours and Mirror Man as they've both climbed on iTunes. Only yours It was such a great performance :heart:
March 15, 201510 yr A bit disappointed that did Yours instead of Mirror Man, but it was a beautiful performance.
