    i think that 3rd single will have a featured rapper like anl did

    I could imagine them adding a British rapper like Tinie or Tinchy on to Daylight Robbery as the 3rd single....

    Matt Cardle has been dropped, I feel for his fans because I wouldn't know what to do if that EVER happened to Alex.

    how many singles are we expecting from this era i think 5 or 6 with a re-realse

    3rd - Tonight - late summer
    4th - WMCB/SOTOTW - chrismas time (x-factor)
    5th - DR - Jan
    6th - Re-release this time next year

    The signs were there from the second single with Matt when it didn't even hit the top 40...if LIG does that, then we should all be worried, but thankfully Alex isn't in that situation....

    All we can do is support her the best we can...I think even with the blacklisting from nearly everyone in the whole entertainment industry, LIG can be a top 10 hit...:)

    Here's what I would like.....

    3rd UK - Daylight Robbery
    4th UK - WMCB (X Factor)

    2nd EU - Fire
    3rd EU - Tonight
    4th EU - Oh La La (just before UK return if possible)

    Then era ends and she works on extra tracks for a potential US hybrid album of HOH and Overcome...

    i'd say Tonight to be the first EU single, followed by Fire and then Between The Sheets, featured by a male

    for the UK it'd be Between The Sheets with Feature, The What Money Can;t Buy (with X-Factor Performance) followed by Fire. Maybe a Re-release after released at the same time in both UK and Europe, with 1 single to launch it.

    After that i'd want her to take the 2 albums to the US.

    IF she does this these tracks NEED to be on there
    1. All Night Long (SOLO!!!)
    2. Bad Boys
    3. Good Night Good Morning ft. Ne-Yo
    4. Let It Go (With Nicki Minaj on the dubstep part)
    5. Elephant
    6. The Silence
    7. Perfect
    8. Tonight
    9. What Money Can;t Buy
    10. Fire
    11. Gotta Go or Overcome
    12. Before It Explodes (doubt it but it's a must for me)
    13. Between The Sheets
    14. Daylight Robbery

    In another order of course, but those are the tracks i'd include

    Woohoo lol....I think it's a good plan tbh....really think DR needs to be the next single because of the Michael Woods connection...his sound is really in at the moment, and if they add a British or even an American rapper (like Ludacris) to it, I think it would get more radio support than the other two singles...

    It needs that ballad though, so just add Dumb as a 15th track :p

    If she released a hybrid album I think:

    1. Heartbreak On Hold
    2. All Night Long (ft. Pitbull)
    3. Between The Sheets
    4. Goodnight Good Morning (ft. Ne-Yo)
    5. Fire
    6. Nothing But The Girl
    7. Tonight
    8 . - New Track -
    9. Oh La La
    10. The Silence
    11. Daylight Robbery
    12. - New Track -
    13. Sitting On Top Of The World
    14. What Money Can't Buy

    And bonus tracks, Before The Rain and LIG preferably with Nicki... Either that or she does what The Wanted did and release an EP

    Daylight Robbery would be a better single choice than Between the Sheets for me personally, although I think she needs an up-tempo summer single before that. Daylight Robbery would work well as a 4th single for, let's say, a September release? I'm rooting for Fire to be the next single because it will work well for a UK and European release. Having said that I'm still waiting for Let it Go to take off because I think that would work well for Europe too so let's hope the world sees sense. Ideally, after the release of Fire, she should then release Daylight Robbery for the UK and Tonight for Europe. What Money Can't Buy sounds amazing but it's not single material - it's clearly a very important song for Alex and I see it as one of the album's treasures; this could be spoilt if given a single release, and I can't see it performing well if it is.

    Why am I thinking that her team are going to go (somewhat) left field and release Heartbreak on Hold as the third single? :confused:

    The presence of 1D in her twitter name eliminates the worthiness of any opinion by her on live singing.

    only flaw i've heard from the snippets is the 5,4,3 alarm line in Fire... it's pretty annoying IMO

    ALSO - a hybrid album would make sense but it seems like such a waste to drag songs from the Overcome era that actually could have been hit singles in their own right. If this was going to happen, I would use:

    1 Heartbreak on Hold
    2 Let it Go
    3 All Night Long (Pitbull version)
    4 Elephant
    5 Between the Sheets
    6 The Silence
    7 Good Night Good Morning
    8 Overcome
    9 Broken Heels
    10 Bad Boys
    11 Fire
    12 Daylight Robbery
    13 Gotta Go
    14 What Money Can't Buy
    15 Hallelujah (it's Alex's signature song after all!)

    Something like that. I had to sacrifice some of my favourites (Oh La La/ Tonight/ You Broke My Heart) because I'm not sure how they'd translate for the US :cry:
