Cheryl is outselling Alex 2 to 1 and has already over taken Alex's sales from this point last week.

Looks like Cheryl will break Alex's record of fastest selling single this year. She will sell 200k this week alone

Either way, doesn't look good for leona, after those two electric performances her just standing there and singing won't look half as good

god help her if she doesn't sell as much as Alex let alone Cheryl, they'll be writing her death knell

Leona has the advantage that her song is a million times better than both Alex's and Cheryls.

Leona and Alex also have the advantage that they can sing and Cheryl cant.

Cheryl's is a better song. Leona will do well i think, she will be num 1 for sure.

Where did you find out Cheryl's sales? - I thought they wouldn't be available until the midweeks tomorrow.

Even though I like Cheryl, I'd have to say that Alexandra would leave her for dust in a singing contest. Even if Cheryl got the timing right of that single she released and it sounded much better, Alexandra would be in a completely different league to her - in a up kind of way.

Thank you for the laugh dude leona might just be "standing there and singing" but at least it will be 100% live

I think Leona will beat them both as it's a much stronger song.

The midweeks ARE released tomorrow, none of Cheryl's sales have been released.

P.S. I dont think she will sell more than Alex...currently most estimates are between 150-170k atm!

Cheryl will NOT sell close to 200k

I think she will just miss Alex's sales from last week but will be no.1 :yawn:

Do we have to do this?

Every thread about Alex/Leona/Cheryl seems to turn into some tit for tat between the fans.

Not sure how Leona even happened to be dragged into a Cheryl vs Alex thread anyway.

I reckon Leona will outsell both anyway, and will have the most consistent sales of the lot!

And then Susan Boyle will come along and make all of their sales look ridiculous.

You talk as if Cheryl is a far better singer than either of them........which is definitely not the case.

It's not really to do with voice though, more marketing, most of this year's number ones have very little to do with singing talent.
Cheryl appeals more to the people who made Dizzee Rascal and Chipmunk number 1 than Leona. Maybe not Alexandra, but I think the image she had on last year's show is at odds with what they're trying to project her as to make sure people don't see her as another Leona.

I agree. I love all three

I am not that fond of Leona's song. It's not a crap song but it aint a Leona classic or memorable. If i look back in 5 years time and someone asks me to name a leona instantly, Happy will be the last song to enter my mind.

I hope Cheryl outsells Alex. I love Alex but i really prefer Cheryl's song. I can kinda indentify and it has proved to me that maybe Cheryl can pull of a potential successful solo career. It's just the album that will answer that.

I don't like Happy but I don't think there'll be any problems with Leona giving a good performance.

Oh no of course not. Leona can pull of a good performance. She will need to if she is doing world tour.

Oh definitley not. Cheryl can barely sing, but there is no denying her popularity. She'll have all the girls aloud fans behind her and she'll probably manage to draw in a some new people as well. There is a lot of hype around Cheryl's solo career too.
