I wouldn't want a finished version of it though as it was quite basic. I don't think she has worked with Stargate on this new album either. It just looks like David trying to relive past glories when she had expensive material and not iPad produced ballads.

Maybe. But her version of that was good though. I loved it! Her tone >>>
The thing is, Alex is so versatile. I don't get how she's lost! A song like Ella's new one (lyrically) would suit her well. I just think it's a case of she's not bothered anymore, because the music is not showing anyone she is.

I don't like Ella's song. I'm actually glad Simon didn't take Alex down the Leona 2.0 route with her debut. There's only one Leona and I don't think Ella matches up, it doesn't feel new.
I'm pretty sure Alex went through some serious depression in the middle of the HOH era, who remembers that tragic Let It Go performance on The Voice? We don't know what is going on behind the scenes, maybe she doesn't feel confident enough to go to the US or maybe she just has doubts? Who knows, but she can't keep fans hanging on with these US plans if her heart isn't in them.
WDHG was always going to flop, she only performed it once and she has a minimal fanbase, 10 twitter fans aren't enough to get a song into the top 10, so I'm not surprised. She's seriously lacking direction and investment, something that really can only be found with a major label deal. I honestly have no idea where her career is headed next, but right now it's no longer looking good.

Nah...Ella's being marketed like Adele. She even sings the word 'through' like her in the song lol.
I think Alex may have been depressed, it would not surprise me. The backlash and bomb of HOH were severe. And by severe, it was a big F-U severe I do remember that performance, she seemed really 'empty' if that makes sense. A huge change from her normal self.
She is lacking in direction, and investment musically. Fashion wise it's the opposite lmfao. I do hope they sort it, she's so talented it's not even funny. And you're right about plan clarification, it's messy. The song added to that.
I have been a fan of this girl since xfactor and have followed the posts on this thread for a long time. I can't express how dissapointed I am with the direction her career has taken over the years and how she does not recognise how lucky she is for the hardcore fan base she has. I was shocked to read Ella Henderson has a us deal with Columbia, meanwhile Alex has still not announced label infor but hinted at it since last year. I often wonder having family members so involved in her career is not doing damage to it. When you look at Selena Gomez recently and maybe Taylor swift looking to separate family from their careers if this isn't something Alex needs to do.
I do get the sneaky feeling that Alex wants to do the soul gospel music type thing from how happy and relaxed she looked at the good Friday event last week.
If that is the case she needs to stop the sharade and being honest with her fans.
Alex is just so bloody lazy compared to other artists. I think it's because she was handed a music career by The X Factor that she expects that she can break the US while lying on beaches all over the world.She needs to be performing and promoting everywhere in the US not coming home every few weeks.
I think Alex is relatively lazy too. It's worrying that her fans could give her a better career direction than herself.
She needs to find a talented producer who's upcoming and needs recognition themselves - they can hit the studio and work on a GOOD EP to send out for free. Basically what New Rules should've been. I'm actually baffled she hasn't taken note of the hype around Solange this past year or two. I've always said that her True EP could've easily have been Alex's vocally and musically. Dev Hynes works magic.
It's all quite sad really, and there is a real strong implication that Alex did have some sort of deal when she was recording. But this sudden change in direction makes me think she's been dropped, and I have no one to blame except Alex.

I don't think it's this. Before she even got an audition, she was singing everywhere. But more so her artistic vision is non existent, and she was probably challenged on that and the deal fell through (no surprises why). Also with Modest at the start and Syco, she had a very specific regime to perform, same for Leona.

Exactly my thoughts. However, most fans can give artists direction haha. It's part of stan life
Don't I recall one of her siblings saying about 6 months ago that her last vacation would be her last before 'LAUNCH' ... Now here we are, Alex is chilling in Maldives lmao
I agree with a lot of you, I don't think she actually cares for her career... As long as she's making a solid income then she's fine. I think she's quite money orientated tbf. Her career is embarrassing lol I refuse to acknowledge her on twitter until I hear this album/single because after the WDHG embarrassment I refuse to share my opinions.
We'll soon see though, if this album is a mess or hit, i'm betting on the mess option though lol Another flop coming her way, this will be the one that ruins her for good tho.
@alexandramusic: Make the choice .. You can either be angry at the things you don't have or you can be thankful for what you do have . Do your best ...
It is a mess but this is why she's doing bodyguard I guess
No label will put her album out and she's gonna flop so bad if she goes at it independently.
Where is jojo lately? he's so quiet these days regarding Alex... at one point he was with her 24/7 now he's like hardly with her
I'm a believer in God he's given the chick plenty a signs given her beyonce as a network rita had none of that Jay z found her! Alex had them on speed dial really silly Diddy too Diddy met Alex and liked her 50 cent.. He wanted Alex to star in his music video really silly girl Alex is
She must of had a stank attitude if no producers she's previously worked with are willing to give her a helping hand...
She's worked with so many TALENTED people, if i'm honest I think she only just clicked on with this whole 'networking' thing.
She had rico from Overcome era but that's it.... Is he even willing to lend her a hand? She says she worked with him but I get vibes his material never gonna see the day of light for some bizzare reason.
I just cannot beleive how much of a mess her career has become. She's completely irrelevant in the music industry these days despite all her success in The Overcome era

LOL you know that's a lie, the BIB. It's not her attitude, but what she brings artistically, which sadly is zilch. Most come with a lyric/song written or many songs written. I don't think she's done the research, it's not to do with producers.
But she's money orientated, and she's got money in property etc. She's fine for life and I think that's all she cares for. I can't blame her.
How is it a lie?? She never used to follow as many people when she met them as she does now, she really got into networking past year but she never did it as much. The struggle is real soz

Thought anything would be better than WDHG
Maybe that's what Claude Kelly dm'ed her about.

Trey songz is Ushes clone!!! Not doing amazing yet Atlantic still keep him and Alex can't cop a deal sad times very sad
