Anyone got any information on it? What do you want to hear? Will it do well? I keep hearing rumours about it, just wanted to know what you guys think! I thought it would be out by now!

Can people not do these things themselves anymore? You just think what's the point?”
Taio Cruz, who used to be a British RnB singer, released Dynamite in the US last year, and it's currently the best-selling song of the decade!
It can't be worse than Messy Little Raindrops. That was such a disappointment after 3 Words, which I think is quite a solid album (the only track I dislike on it is Fight For This Love, partly because it was so overexposed). It was like she just couldn't be arsed with MLR so I hope she puts some actual effort into her third album like she did with her first.
It will probably do very well, she's still very popular, she does need singing lessons though, she can sing, but she needs to get better live training so that she can sing a whole song without the need of four other girls.
Hopefully she will do an album more like 3 words, but from what ive been hearing she is working with the more "dancey" producers.
I looked on her twitter and she does tweets like she's in the studio recording and can't wait for the fans to hear it but I am interested to see how well it does minus X factor exposure!

Gone are the days when she is given a one off mimed performance on TXF of the albums lead single which then sells the album.
Just look at the downfall from her first to second albums sales anyway, they dropped by a good 4 - 500k”
X Factor doesn't help everybody sell albums. For example Nicole Scherzinger has sold around 150k-200k of her new album. Cheryl sold 1m+ on her first album and around 500k on her second album. Based on the fact she's now putting some proper effort in to the next one and still has a solid fanbase, I can see it selling really well.
To be fair to Cheryl, she has days when she's vocally not that bad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVjQYbX-F7k Of course, these days are rare but she isn't completely dreadful and she's an excellent performer. I imagine the album will be out in the spring, I just hope it isn't as bland and generic as Messy Little Raindrops. Without The X Factor, her sales will be inevitably down but I don't think she'll need to be worried about missing out on #1s or anything.
