Well Bulletproof is decent, yet I dont see in for the kill doing well.
She needs to write new material |

don't think In For The Kill has been released yet. I'm glad she's number 8 but it's only one song - i'll be interested to see how the album does.

Not exactly her biggest fan and Bullet proof is not a song i personally like.
But well done to her, not many british artists do that, and without using a featured artist they should be very proud of there selves. WELL DONE ELLY AND CO. |

Alexandra's personality is perfect for what America is. She isn't boring so in turn isn't doomed to fail like some I could mention.

And who are these others you mention, and i think the only British artist we have at the moment that isgood enough to go Stateside is Florence and the Machine. |

She's very boring in my opinion, very bland boring songs, probally on of teh biggest rappers will feature on the song. Bad Boys is boring and Flo Rida's bit was unesseary, All Night Long had the power to sosund good but it got a bit boring through the song and when pitbull came in became even worse, the only one i liked so far is broken heels which is atcully quite different and a superb track, if this one is released up there ill support it.

Well Robbie for one. Plus JLS haven't set the world alight either and Leona has come back with her tail between her legs. Loads of British artists have failed because they aren't big on the personality stakes. Its the number 1 rule to being a popstar in America.

i hate robbie, but he has gallons loads of personality, JLS dont, Leona dosen't but she said her new album is gonna be different so i think she will turn in a great star. Alexandra has no peronality really well if she does her songs dont portray it. Florence is the UK's GaGa.

I guess you probably think Leona has no personality yet when she had hit material she did well here..and so did her album which showed the public had interest in her so your theory about personality being the #1 rule falls apart right there. |

They have failed because their material wasn't in line with what the radio was playing. The #1 rule/key to success is radio friendly hit material, that and also if you want to sell the album the audience has to connect with you as an artist.

I'm so happy for La Roux! Bulletproof was one of the best singles of last year, imo.
![]() The reason so many pop acts use rappers is because it's hard to get a hit without Urban radio supporting your music. It is much more impressive to get a hit without a featuring rapper, but it's still impressive to get a hit with a rapper, imo. I hope Alex does well in America, because she's worked hard and the album is a strong pop album. I don't expect her album to sell millions in the states, because feature singles generally don't sell albums. But having hit singles helps to gain momentum and will help sell future albums and help her in the long run. |

They've been playing it in the states for over a year, it's just been such a slow burn |

I don't like the song, but well done to them all the same
and it blows the theory that only R&B sells out of the water and releasing a song that is different and plays to your strengths is the key. Kylie is a good example, she had US top 10s with the Locomotion and Can't get you out of my head...but flopped with songs that were ironically supposed to appeal to America such as 'All I See' |
