^ Sorry it's hard to respond to idiocy without being a bit pissed off.
Was you who was going on about no one being interested in her the other day...? She's had pleny of attention on here so wtf are you talking about... always a thread on the front page... with thousands of views... so yeah... just because YOU'RE not bothered that doesn't equate to no-one being bothered
I dont like the song. not heard the album. the single is the wrong choice for debut. people not interested in it and it hasnt got enough buzz around it to make it a hit. Im just saying, people love cheryl at the moment so maybe she shouldnt have released it so close to cheryls releases if shes wants a chance of success.
Nadine has, without a doubt, an amazing voice. Her single is terrible, I heard her singing it half an hour ago on Daybreak....but I couldn't even begin to sing any part of it, it's just so unmemorable.
Also, the times I've seen Nadine perform (Daybreak and Paul O'Grady) she has no stage presence and doesn't hold my attention. All that whipping her hair around drives me mad!
I'm not the biggest Cheryl Cole fan but to be fair, Promise This was stuck in my head after the first few times I heard it.
Also, I think the Teco thing is a mistake. If the album was on iTunes I might be tempted to preview the songs and buy the ones I like,,,but I won't be going to Tesco to buy the whole album.
I don't think releasing the album exclusively with Tescos is going to be a mistake. Last year KISS released their Sonic Boom album exclusively with Walmart and it went to No.2 in the US only to be pipped at the post by Michael Buble. These supermarkets can afford massive campaigns so I fully expect her album to do reasonably well. Maybe not a massive hit but I'd expect it to go top 5 and hang round the top 10 for a couple of weeks.
Its hardly a flop. A flop would be charting at #41 or something - but she's now #26 and #21 on itunes. Maybe people should stop comparing her every move to Cheryl. I like Cheryl and her music, I bought her album but she can barely sing live in tune. All she has to do is sit on her arse for 4 hours every weekend and voice her pointless opinions on performers who actually have to sing live. What other promo has she done? I find it quite sickening actually that she has only performed her single once and managed to get a number one. But what can you do
MORAL OF STORY
no one buy physicals apart from die hard fans and even they prefer downloads
I prefer CDs to downloads. I buy hundreds of CDs (including dozens of CD singles) a year, I think I've only ever bought 2 or 3 mp3s.
I'd have bought a physical copy of Nadine's single, if (a) I could've bought it somewhere sensible online - I'm not trekking down to Tesco for it, and (b) the B-side was on the single (it's not, it's only on iTunes).

Dan Wooton's vile. But hardly surprising considering what newspaper he works for.
Do you actually have a source for that, or is it just what you want to believe?
Ah yes. Because The X Factor has a long history of supporting acts with no connection to Syco, no major label deal, no airplay and no previous hits.
If Cheryl wasn't a judge on the show, nobody would have ever mentioned it as a possibility.

"When I get back to Derry I always enjoy a good fry-up that my mum makes. That's my big weakness."
But on Graham Norton radio 2 this week she said her parents live in LA with her sister (and basically most of her family)
Feel bad for her, she has a better voice than cheryl cole.
It just shows publicity is everything!
She should have collaborated on her first single
trust digital spy and the sun to fabricate the story...
she sold 3.2k downloads, 100 physicals
cheryl yes sold 26k downloads but she also sold just 500 physicals

just shows if digital spy can add any negative to a story they will, the same goes for the sun.
Granted not doing great at 35, but they are misleading people in thinking she's only sold 100 copies of the single overall by the title!
Of what?, rumour has it her album is flopping slightly
Not bad for Nadine, hopefully tomorrows update will see her in the top 15, yes?

And the single is only being distributed in Tesco's?
Considering she's had barely any radio/video play, promotion and lack of distribution, it's a miracle she's even in the top 40.
