Great performance from Rebecca on The One Show last night singing That Ole Devil Called Love.
Album is Number 2 on Amazon pre order chart and number 21 on the actual Amazon album chart after only one TV appearance.

Thanks Ian, look forward to seeing that.
Here is a live version of Get Happy with just a piano backing. I think I prefer this version to the recorded one, her vocals sound great.

Another good review from The Guardian although again 3 stars. At least they used an up to date photograph.

very negative review follows
Quote:
“While Ferguson gamely gives this her best shot, her voice seems a bit lightweight. Get Happy is more Hi-de-Hi than Harlem...
...Ferguson falls into the Ronan Keating trap of over-egging the sibilance and effecting a cheap cabaret singer growl in places.
This crime against taste is most horribly evident on Lover Man...
...(Ferguson) blows it badly with her exaggerated pronunciation.”

“Speaking in February, she said: “I’m travelling the world, I’ve got three children and shouldn’t have done it. It was a lesson learned. I can do an OK manicure, but I need to stick to singing.””
“Speaking in February, she said: “I’m travelling the world, I’ve got three children and shouldn’t have done it. It was a lesson learned. I can do an OK manicure, but I need to stick to singing.””
Bit of a clash as Rebecca is also on BBC Radio 2 with Terry Wogan and it overlaps with Songs Of Praise.
Thanks for your contributions IanP, that's a pretty awful review from the Herald (Ireland). It seems a bit extreme if you compare it to the well balanced reviews from The Telegraph and Guardian. The album sales seem to be going pretty well. I think Rebecca's fans tend to buy physical copies rather than downloads. It's in the top ten on Amazon.
