Sorry but that means sod all.
Until the fame academy hype dies down, shes been around for a year at least and a second album Is made Platinum.

Until kids who buy it because she was on TV stop buying and the real music fans start buying, thats when It will mean something.

In my opinion.

I agree the 2nd album will tell, like Will's but she's sold 10 times as many as her predecessor!

Really ? Suprising In a way

Although there has been alot more put into advertising her album.. Will was seen more as a hit singles artist.

Still, Time will tell !

I'd give her six months. She'll go the way of Sneddon!

and I am one of the owners!! Will has a much larger fanbase than Alex at the moment, She comes from a smaller show, than Will. Friday's child is fantastic!

SmartPrince, she has already sold 10 times more albums than Sneddon, and I really can't see her having much competition from Mark and Michelle .

But that is the same with any artist that has been awarded Platinium, doesn't make hers any less, official, because thats how its awarded.

No wonder there were so many covers, it's not like she had much time to make the album

What grates your ear drums is sweet music to others. I accept that you might not like it, why can't you accept that some people do like it?

Oh OK

But as a fan of Alex I have to agree with you and say that the 2nd Album will be the proving ground. I'm just a shade more optimistic about it than you

But if it's a pile of sh*t I'll be the first to admit it.

her voice is terrible, she's extremely ugly and she should go back to the circus.
Case closed :sleep:
