    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAVT0RoL_68&feature=relmfu - How can this girl be so hated? Where did it all go wrong? So sad :(

    I don't know. But its england, and it doesn't take much. You saw the whole Misha B thing. Also alex is a black female, so there will be less tolerance to her personality (compared to cheryl or others).if she'd gone global the haters would have no power. But since she hasn't gone anywhere, the ball is in their court, and the numbers are mounting :(

    It's all very well having Tweam Burke...they are fantastic, however, everyone tweeting Graham Norton or Johnathan Ross won't work...the reason being that they know it's just a group of Alex fans bombarding them. It's not like they're receiving tweets throughout the day from people requesting that Alex be on the show...tweamers do it for a few hours and that's it. It was the same when people were tweeting to get her on BGT...it only lasted a few hours. The producers aren't stupid and can tell the difference between a genuine want for Alex to be on the show, and a group of fans just bombarding them. I mean look at the MOBO Awards...they tweeted asking who people want to see perform this year and Alex fans tweeted hard for an hour...so much that MOBO even tweeted about it. That was a really good sign, but instead of continuing to tweet, everyone just stopped. I really don't know what to suggest. The album is going to flop though, there's no doubt about it. There's no momentum, no buzz, nothing.

    Instead of saying its gonna flop thn let's get on and promo I say …

    1) Go to as many different forums and websites as you can and post.
    2) Tweeting celebs, the management, tv shows, could help! Look at what happened when we wanted her at the MJ tribute show
    3) Facebook, YouTube, tumblr etc. are HUGE and this is how things go Viral! Help get it known and people to see that it's out there
    4)Buy as many albums and singles as you can if it charts or its seen in the itunes chartpeople may buy it, it is already the number 1 music pre-order for HMV on the week of release
    5) Requesting on Radio and Music Channels is important as this is how people will come across the song in the most obvious way without wanting to see it -

    Let's Just Stick together, Beasties aren't gonna go down without a fight

    Let Go of the negativity and arguing and lets just go with the promo and make people know about it.

    What a douchebag! He can go fck himself, can't believe any man would cheat, that's the lowest someone can go

    Edit; now i've seen the girl I doubt it's true tbh.
    What man with common sense would cheat on Alex with that pig? I'm sorry for my words but seriously? I bet that girl will just take everything she possibly can get, and if that means ****ing up a relationship, than it's a pitty but i doubt she'd care

    I think it's true. If a source from Alex's side have said something, and her tweets last night seemed quite, depressing. Also this woman has gone to quite some lengths to explain what happened even saying that he asked her to smell milk. lmao. I hope it's true, just because Alex needs to get as far away from him as possible.

    I've read them now too, they sound depressed. I hope Alex can overcome this before the Album launch

    I suspect that she's releasing on all these minor labels because she no longer has the European deal she did with Syco.

    Lawson's EP is no. 120 on iTunes album chart.. Let It Go is nowhere to be seen in the top 200. She definitely won't be having no.1. But I think we already established that with the poor promo slots. I am very disappointed and worried.

    I'm depressed in general for Alex. If she goes under I'll have no-one else to stan for but Leona, and her wait for material is painful as it is...:(

    I didn't say that. But I don't want to see her demoted to a zeleb either.

    I think we should try and get TGJ Sam to spill this 'big news' he was informed of about the album because it obviously hasn't materialised...
