Interesting! What a coup for Ben. I can't think of any previous winners that have had such a high-profile stamp of approval.

Alexandra Burke's first proper single featured Flo Rida, that surprised me at the time.

Oh yeah that is true actually - I knew I'd forget someone.

Can't wait to hear

I'm looking forward to this. I love Kelly and I'm probably one of the few that quite like Ben so hope it does well.

Oh Kelly :( why lower yourself to this?

I KNOW RIGHT!?! Poor Kelly did Piece By Piece really do that badly?

Wowzer! Can't wait to hear how this sounds, impressive he has Kelly Clarkson for his first single! :)

An interesting duet on paper - Kelly Clarkson is still very much deemed relevant by R1 so I can seem them potentially picking this up.

 

Simon will be trying to promote a fair few acts around this Christmas time then: Ben, Fleur, 1D, Little Mix and there's always the possibility that Olly Murs will jump on the opportunity for an album re-release or new lead single. I reckon he'll try and push Fifth Harmony on UK X-Factor too.

The release dates are going to be interesting. I have to assume they are going to be sensible enough to not have their acts clashing and fighting for chart positions on the first week of release. Not much time to play with though.

Well Olly is doing on air, on sale with his new single so depending on what Friday Ben chooses and if radio takes an immediate shine to it he should be OK. I know Little Mix have released some tracks from their new album already too but their next single proper probably won't be till November.

Well for Ben I'm guessing he will perform on the live shows first weekend (31 October). The Friday being the 30th for the single release. I think that's a couple of weeks later than normal for the first show, so the week before is a possibility. Just depends how they want to play it. Assuming this schedule is correct.

Might be misunderstanding this point, but the new Little Mix single, 'Love Me Like You', came out yesterday! Their album is out in 6 weeks so this is presumably the single to launch it.

Really? Oh I just thought they were releasing tracks off it like instant grats but OK. Not heard their new one yet, will have to go seek it out!

 

If it's a duet with Kelly Clarkson, how are they gonna work around her (presumably) not being there, seeing as she had to cancel her tour due to pregnancy? Will they do a hologram or something?

I thought it was forced vocal rest? 3 days later and the thought of this is still making me pee blood.

I meant they might have a hologram of her on the screen miming along to her parts (or cuts from the video) (if she features in it).

I guess there are a few options, live performances are not always "live" so they could mime if Kelly can't sing as she would want to or Ben could just sing a version of the song by himself. I'm sure Flo-rida wasn't with Alexandra Burke on all performances of Bad Boys for example. I guess we have to wait and see how big Kelly's part is and if it can be changed if need be.

Pregnant women aren't allowed to fly from a certain stage in their pregnancy can they? So I can't see her being present at all. It could ve one of those things where she is on a live feed or something, possibly? :unsure: but yeah we'll see how big a part she has on the song, all else fails and he'll have a solo version, won't he?

I don't think she'll be that far gone to not be able to fly. If that were the case the tour would have been cancelled much sooner.
