    Lol overcome success is being forgotten no one cares it is not relevant anymore to us fans and to the odd xfactor success chart it's decent but im sorry AB can't hold on to that as her only success she's technically a one hit wonder successful era then flops.

    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

    Following on twitter is no bar of actual association. Business is conducted in person, not via twitter. But tbh, she is not musically minded, and I don't think she ever has been. Everyone nowadays is a lyrical visionary in someway. She's not kept up, and got left behind.

    Or rather, you're ability to craft one. Sadly Alex can't do either now. :(

    Such a mess. Overcome was all other peoples stuff, she just sang it. She has no artistic vision, she's not an artist she's just a singer.. I wish she'd get a grip she's such a disappointment

    I'm fed up with supporting her tbh. I can see why she's lost thousands of followers on Twitter, her tweets are so boring and 99% of them have nothing to do with music. I would have unfollowed her by now if she wasn't following me back lol

    Well that is normal for debut albums, especially in big multi million deals like the XF one, Leona got the same treatment. It's the second one where you prove yourself, and she didn't.

    So annoyed tbh, like I just heard her On The Radio performance and she was so ****ing good. SMH at ha. A disappointment is not even the word. Her not writing the songs is sad too, but at least have some clear ideas.

    See. I said this eons ago. And I meant it. Elton John warned her about this, and she did not heed the advice and look where she is now.

    It's true I remember the article I mean to be fair with she had writing camp or whatever but she needs to spend minimum a year with someone like Miguel who can make her more creative or influence her

    Alexs career is such a mess she doesnt know which direction she wants to go which will most probably piss off her managers and cause them to drop her. Its so tiring replying to her haters on line with facts from 2008, they are old and irrelevant now. #pooralex. Shes not taking this seriously she should be flying to L.A and meeting up with record labels instead of on a beach in the maldives with some west end musical script in her lap. By the time we get this album shell be 30. Sad really.

    She has enough experiences as a young, black female born in Britain living in inner city London. You can't get anymore experiences than that. Hell she could sing about misogny, sexism, racism, general distrust, abuse...so much. Yet she keeps it basic.

    I can see her being finished by KWL after this album tbh.

    Sorry, but this is supposed to be an appreciation thread. Take all your negativity somewhere else.

    I am not being rude, but I am fed up reading about how Alex needs to write and should have been doing it since Overcome, maybe she just isn't capable. There is no way she hasn't tried, most singers co-write and I bet Alex did a lot more co-writing on her original second album and on this third one she has been recording.

    I just want it to surface that's all. Surely she could work with people to help her boost it no? I'm a believer of try and keep trying and eventually you'll be good. I mean she co wrote Elephant and that was a bop, and the lyrics were good.

    Yeah with five other writers, so theres a good chance she contributed very little to that song.

    Ellie Goulding has a writing credit on Burn, yet Leona recorded that years before Ellie had anything to do with the song, and very little about it changed when she did take the song.

    Alex came up with the concept for Elephant and is listed as the lead songwriter. She worked on it at a writing camp for HOH.
