    I agree. The fact she is underated is why i love her. No one i know really knows who she is meaning i can enjoy her to myself without having people annoy me with her songs or the radio's overplaying her songs.

    I know what you mean and agree to an extent, but the simple truth is that if she remains underrated for much longer she will not get the opportunity to continue making albums which would be a travesty :(

    When do people think we might see a new album? I know shes been writing new material and then shes touring again in September... I predict a January release, possibly another top 5 album when the chart is a little easier to get into?

    True. Shame she isn't american. If your an american act and yous albums don't sell well, you don't have a risk of losing your record deal.

    I think early next year too as the start of the year is quiet. It's by summer onwards when the charts getting heavy with songs and albums and i think that's why her stunning debut was left behind.

    I saw her in Southampton in May (I think it was) She is truly amazing live, she interacts with the audience well and she really greats a lovely, bubbly atmosphere. I have to admit she is better live than her CDs, thats really saying something!

    Her album only peaked at #9, not in the top five.

    I wonder how much her album has sold altogether. I know she said she hasn't sold enough to breakeven but i'm sure it's well over 300K now?

    The album has been certified platinum but that could mean shipments. It deffo has to be 200k-300k. I followed her album chart run carefully and even though her last two singles were flops, her album went straight back in to the top 20 and stayed there for a few weeks.

    The album is at #34 on iTunes at the moment. She was on T in the Park last night, though they only showed New York (again.. grr) But she was incredible.

    That's good! I take it the album climbed then, as I swear it was in it's 50s/60s last time I looked.

    When are we going to be able to see Paloma's live iTunes set seeing as we have to wait one more month for the audio to be available on iTunes! :(

    Seen Paloma live - amazing big voice!

    Love her album and really hope her second does well as dropping her would be a travesty.

    She's got some genuine talent and it should be celebrated. Let's not have any more X Factor clones who can't write or play any instruments!!

    Yep, I downloaded an album and when the bill came in I must have had insuffiecient funds!

    Enjoy the set though (for those who download) I heard Paloma was one of their best acts!
