You think thats quick, I was in Poundland today and saw her biography.

:rotfl:

I hear her perfume range is doing really well in Boots and she plans to retire in May and set up a love-nest with Simon Cowell in the Seychelles.

Leona Lewis is said to be very concerned!

lol. surely they will run the same tactic they did with leona lewis and keep her away after she gets christmas number one (over singing what was meant to be a soft emotional song) a great jeff buckley song. And then magically re-appear with an album next year when the x-factor hype is back on.

Very odd indeed.

That's what I was thinking. Usually they win, get the single out then wait at least a year (ish) to get the album out. 3 months?

...and then fade into obscurity

you mean a Leonard Cohen song made great by Jeff Buckley

....that is no different to what i said

cohens version barely comes into it when you talk about that song because Buckley's was so good. but yes...if you want to get into it. Cohen did the song originally.....

jls were robbed, but in anycase, yes i would be concerned the album has been/is going to be recorded already. i would have thought simon has put too much effort and money into leona to be bothered with this wanna be.

Quite agree but i must say they were all bigging her up for weeks, far more than they ever did with Leona and i think Leona is a class above.
All Alexandra did was whoa whoa whoa with her voice, JLS were far more original with their songs.
As for the CD i am suspicious. With Leona they waited so they could put out a quality product and they did. Maybe they only see a short shelf life and want to rake it in whilst they can.

What a bunch of petty small minded people on this thread.

Your favourite didn't win - get over it. :rolleyes:

I have pre-ordered this but am also waiting for the JLS album which I am almost certain will be released soon as well xxx
