Her single's gone 3 times platinum in Australia and even got to number 28 in South Korea. It's a great pop song and could be a big hit in other countries especially in the uk now. Obviously she can't come to promote it right now but if they played it on the radio there it would definitely sell. I mean that's pretty much how James Arthur's cover of Impossible reached number 2 in Australia because it was played on the radio. Actually I think so long as she establishes herself in Australia this year with her new album then she will definitely get an international record deal. I mean that's what pretty much happened for One Direction, Olly Murs, Little Mix, etc. So long as their debut is a success they have had international opportunities/success. Jessica Mauboy is great but to be honest she doesn't really have an 'international' look to her. I know that sounds weird but a lot of artists are successful in their own countries but don't really have the same look to be hits in other countries. Samantha definitely has an international popstar look to her and she is no stranger to major record labels in America.
Yeah the Collective's song is really really good. No offense to you guys but Union J is absolutely shit compared to the Collective. Too similar to One Direction in too many ways. e.g. musical style, stage presence, look, etc. The Collective also has a very commercial international look/vibe. They're very edgy. They can sing, dance, rap, etc. I find them to be an Aussie male equivalent to Little Mix in some ways. Check out their Valentine's Day acoustic cover of As Long As You Love Me on youtube. This was absolutely incredible.
I do think both Samantha Jade and the Collective are the next big thing. Both very talented and commercial plus both have international fanbases. So long as they do well in Australia this year they can be big hits internationally
