She's a little bit piano driven so you guys might like her. She's like Mariah mixed in with Alicia Keys. You might not be able to compare her to Mariah just from hearing her debut single Bleeding Love, but watch the videos to the left (scroll down a little) on her official myspace from xfactor & you might be able to. Especially Summertime.
If you don't know who she is, she was the winner of simon cowell's the x-factor earlier this year..or maybe last year? I forget, you British people should be able to tell me lol. It's basically the British version of American Idol except anyone can try out..can be in groups, and age doesn't matter. She has a single out called "bleeding love" & its absolutely amazing, and really refreshing. Check it out:

Her debut cd is out now! I've only heard the songs on her myspace, but those are really good so i'm definitely gonna get her cd.
-
i like her cover version of Avril song I Will Be 8)
-
Oh I didn't know that was a cover. I'm still downloading the cd right now. Wonder what other songs are covers if any.
btw, Homeless is an amazing song. They all are so far actually haha.
-
I just heard her song Bleeding Love and i'm loving it. havent heard the rest of the CD though.
-
^you should listen to the rest, it's totally worth downloading/buying. It's so good.
And omg I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Take A Bow. You guys need to listen to that song first. Thats one of the best songs i've ever heard.
Also you'll definitely hear some Mariah in her song Yesterday.
Man I haven't been this excited about an artist in a long time.
-
I just listened to the entire album. Yesterday is my favourite song on it.
-
I was disappointed with her album. It's boring.

Awesome. How do you like Take A Bow? man I can't get enough of that song.

A few songs are kinda boring, but I don't think the whole thing is. You don't even like Bleeding Love, Take A Bow or Whatever It Takes? Those are all upbeat. There are more upbeat ones too.
-
I'm too crazy about Take a Bow. Angel is another stand out track.

There's a few I like (those ones you mentioned and another I think), but when I listen to it from start to finish, it's kinda bleh.
I like her and she has a nice voice. Maybe it'll grow on me.
When is she releasing her stuff in the US? How do you think she'll do?

Do you mean your not too crazy about take a bow? i'm not really a fan of Angel..her voice is really good in it I just can't find a way to relate to it.

Yeah hopefully it'll grow on you, I just deleted the songs I didn't like. I'm not sure when she's releasing it here. Simon Cowell is like in love with her lol so hopefully it'll be soon.
btw is footprints in the sand a cover? i could've sworn i saw her perform it on xfactor when she was on it through youtube or something.
-

No I don't think it is a cover, it was premiered on X-Factor (she didn't sing it live, but it played as in background music for a few), so that was probably where you heard it.
-
Yeah, i dont like Take a Bow very much. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is a cover.

Who is the original artist? I don't remember if I like that song or not, gotta listen to it again lol.
-
Many artists have covered it. Not sure who originally recorded it though.
Roberta Flack made it famous

But Celine Dion has also covered it

Eh, I don't like her. Bleeding Love has been over-advertised.

The only place i've seen it over-advertised is on perezhilton.com lol. He loooves her. But then again I live in the US so that's probably why I haven't seen it over-advertised anywhere else.
Anyways, I'm enjoying her music now more than ever. Did you guys see her performance at the Brit Awards? holy crap. It was amazinggg<3

I love her single right now. She's good :) I thought it was interesting that Ryan Tedder co wrote & produced it. He's the frontman of "One Republic" ... He's a great songwriter.
-
^jessie mccartney (sp?) also co-wrote it. even more interesting lol.
-

ure kinda right...i got sick of it after the 100th time :lol:
But i still think she's okay :razz:
-
It's not her fault that she is being over advertised, especially since she came off a game show. It's kinda like how Kelly Clarkson was "in our face" for awhile. It will slow down I'm sure :)
She seems like a sweet girl from every live interview, etc I've seen so far. But I guess they are telling her to get sexier and use Mariah's trainers =\ I think they are crazy, she is already thin. The media is so screwed up.
-
I can't deny that's she's talented, but this is not really my kind of music.... :?
anyway, my fav song is 'bleeding love' :)
-
I find her and her music sooo boring. She's really overrated too.
I like "Better In Time" though. That's nice.
-
While her music may be overrated, her voice certainly is not.
-
she has a nice voice, i just wish she'd do something more exciting with it.
