Hehe! good for her!

I'm loving Blue Jeans at the moment, it reminds me of Miss Haversham from Great Expectations

Forgot to say, don't forget she's on Johnathan Ross tonight. Will be a big test of what the general public think of her, I reckon, as I can't imagine the vast majority of Wossy's Saturday night tv audience will be over familiar with her work, lol. Current Amazon UK position:

Amazon Bestsellers Rank: 12 in Music (See Top 100 in Music)

Wasn't a great performance was it
Without the orchestra / production / not being the greatest live performer it came over a bit below par.

must check out her performance tomorrow...i have it on record this week for Lana only really.

But i think despite poor/average show...millions are watching and she has raised the profile more.

Personally i found the Jools eprformance my fave out of all i have seen, something so electric about it and dark...i lvoe that dark emotive feel.

So yeah i hope she continues to grow as a performer really I think she will definitely

Not her best performance tonight, certainly. She's still massively nervous on TV, which I suppose is understandable given her inexperience in such an environment but she needs to address that. She was very nervous on Jools but IMO gave a better performance. Having said that, I would still rather see an 'unenhanced' vocal like this than the 'mumbling along to a vocal backing track' we see so often these days.

I have to agree - Off To The Races is now my favourite track that I've heard off the album so far. It takes a few listens because there's so much going on in the song and you appreciate the incredible vocal more when you can read the lyrics as she is singing them.

i would imagine she would be excellent at festivals too when they come around


Totally disagree - she would be awful at festivals (certainly not an Indie or rock festival anyway).She doesn't exactly exude energy in her songs or when performing.She's more of a cabaret artist (or at intimate venues).Don't think she has a very powerful voice either which helps when performing to large (or largish) live audiences.

Yeah, i think that is part of the addiction too though...so much is happening it demands for re-listening again and again to get the entire scope of it...i love that about it really.

So true it also really shows her whole hip-hop influenced side and the edge rather than the melancholic balladeer with which she was becoming known

it was pretty bad last night. to me it does seem to be a confidence issue. the song itself seems like it needs to be acted, so maybe she wasn't in the zone or something. i first saw her on later with jools holland, which actually is a good place to discover new music to be fair. she seemed nervous then, although at the time, i assumed she was acting the song. still that was a better performance. the single is climbing the itunes chart again, so its not all bad.

I agree. It's clear from some of the lower key/non televised live performances on youtube she has an amazing live voice but I do think it's a confidence issue. But she has to overcome that somehow and I suppose it will come with more experience. Every performer gets nervous, it's just a matter of not showing it or letting it affect your performance. I suppose in this regard Adele is the one to learn from - terrible stage fright but amazing performances.

I think did well on JR. Remember Lady Gaga was very nervous her first time on that show too yet look at her now.
