Album at number 26 in today's chart.

Link to video of Rebecca's three-song set at today's DLD conference in Munich. Includes the first live performance I've heard of 'Teach Me How to be Loved'.

Brilliant Rupert. What did you think of the performance?

I still think she looked a bit tense and shy but it picked up towards the end. Good performance though.

Firstly, I must say that she looks great. After the disasterous experimental make overs on X Factor, the cheesy and (I thought) unflattering pop makeover (including the 'overly-lit' photoshoot) that accompanied her album release, and various live performances in every shade of brown, her latest dark, mature and natural look is the best yet. Let's hope she sticks with it.

Yes, she is clearly (and endearingly) inexperienced and anxious on stage and camera but that's common and natural. It's one of the main reasons performers come to use (or maybe just overuse) drugs but that's another story. Let's face it, it must be terrifying. It's a myth that artists are extrovert. Most I think are introvert but have a desire to be seen or heard so strong that it overcomes their need to hide. And there's the problem!

I thought it was a good performance and it clearly went down well with the crowd, most of whom are not music-industry pro's (it's a digital media conference). She can certainly sing live and I like the way that she delivers differently from performance to performance. Ok, that may well have something to do with nerves and breathing control issues but it's a good habit for a performer of her type (a gimic-free, strong vocalist) to develop, be it deliberate or otherwise. The nerves will become less of a problem over time I'm sure whilst the ability to change-up delivery in live situations (taking chances right there on the spot, as they say) will hopefully develop and remain. It is something that great, gimic-free live singers do, especially soul/jazz singers. Every cloud has a silver lining!

Excellent post Rupert, you can express these things much better than I do. Being a big fan her tension/anxiety transfers itself to me. I should really relax more and enjoy the performances. The big test will come when I go to see her in Glasgow next month.

Being a singer/musician myself as well as an introvert you are absolutely correct about that point.

Also, In: Demand (radio station ) had TGTL as their Chosen One tonight, all I know is they must have liked it to give it such recognition.

Maybe this single will get more radio play than NRBL after all.

Thanks for that Nelson. I hope it does get more radio play than the first single, but we shall see.

And thanks for re activating this thread after a couple of quiet days.
I'm beginning to warm to Cher fans.

Rebecca performing in Munich again tonight. Don't know any more details.

Too Good To Lose is on MTV's 5 must hear pop songs of the week.

Album down to 37 in the midweeks. The single should have been out sooner.

sweetmiss has just posted on the MF that Rebecca's album will be released in the U.S on the 15th of May. Great news

Lee Craig has advised that the release date for Rebecca's album, 15th May 2012, is confirmed on U.S. ITunes.

This is amazing news...I can't wait for Rebecca to release in America.

Speaking of international releases...has the album/single peaked else where?

She was in Munich during the week and said the album will be released in Germany in April. She is travelling to Milan on Sunday for more promotion. I don't know any more details than that at the moment.

Great...I'm glad she's promoting in various European countries. Hopefully she'll be doing European radio tour soon.

I'm still attempting to find out further information.

Did you watch the performance in Munich, Rupert Pupkin linked this earlier in the thread. She looked a bit nervous.

Yeah, she did seem sightly nervous...but that's expected. I thought she was stunning as always though.

Yes I like her, very impressive.

Do we know whether Rebecca has been offered any endorsement deals?

I'm not aware of any but I suspect it's only a matter of time.

Me too, I think there's definitely something going on behind the scenes... I guess Rebecca's trying to keep it quiet until the big reveal.

You could well be right. She seems to be concentrating on Europe at the moment and she is off to Milan tomorrow. There is a perfect match, Rebecca and Milan.

I think she may also visit Amsterdam as well.

It's great news she's focusing on Europe at the moment, realistically she should do a month's promo in Europe on various shows and festivals for maximum potential sales. I really do hope Heaven is a success in Europe, it has all the makings to be...let's just hope people get behind it.

Hey guys, just thought I'd drop in and say Rebecca's performances at DLD were great, got goosebumps several times during TMHTBL and Glitter and Gold.

Couldn't find it on the link RupertPupkin posted so I found it on YouTube instead.

Thanks, once again, for your kind words Nelson.
