Considering the media profile of N'Dubz and their run of chart success, i'd say it would be highly likely her first solo single would have been at least moderately successful.

I don't actually. I find the amount of vitriol directed at female celebrities on this forum quite amazing sometimes so I usually find myself trying to add a bit of balance.

Multi-award winning, 2 platinum albums, 1 gold. Yes. "Relatively" successful
And I don't even bloody like them !

Just my opinion

At the end of the day, it would have been down to how much money the label had invested. If they'd wanted to spend a lot of money making her the next big female solo artist in this country then who knows what would have happened ?
As I've said many times before, it's also perfectly feasible that Justin Edwards deliberately released the tape when he did as a calculated attempt to sabotage her career.
In my world, I'm willing to give people the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. I really don't have the energy or inclanation to live in Digital Spy world where everything has a hidden meaning and nothing "just happens" without an army of PR agents telling celebrities to walk, talk and take a dump.
