On her Twitter she is telling her Twitter followers to buy the single, screenshot it and she'll follow them...desperate or what?

She and Cheryl seem to have lost their selling power.

Just goes to show you can be popular one minute and struggling the next.

Her single has been a disaster. It's an awful song, and I think she thought she could get away with it, but she's not that big of a star.

It's just a promotional tactic. She'll likely only follow them for a few days. But, that said, the single is pretty poor ..

Why buy the cow's manure when I've seen the udders already?

Well it's certainly not good to have a pre-album single not even be able to make the Top 10 when your on one of the biggest shows on telle every Saturday night is it. It's #11 in the Friday midweek and looking at it's iTunes placement it'll drop even more before Sunday, and then no doubt like a stone next week.

Still it can't help that the song is the very definition of awful. The third single will no doubt do much better with the X-Factor performance and she should be thankful she's launching the album then with that song and not now with this one.

I didn't mind Young all that much but when I seen her telling people to buy her new song, screenprint and she'll follow I was like LOL. She should be following fans that tweet her words of support, not for proving they've bought her single.

I don't like when popstars use Twitter as a tool to sell like that. Fair enough if you have a single out then feel free to tweet about it but don't beg for people to buy it. Twitter should be a way for them to interact with fans, not just a tool for selling their crappy singles.

U could name many other pop stars who constantly remind people their single is out why single Tulisa out? Most do this it's nothing new!
Or was this an excuse form make another Tulisa thread just for people to bash her?

This is the first time I've seen a star ask for a 'screenshot with the time showing' to prove that fans have bought the single, then she'll follow them, that's desperation if ever I saw it. Going by Live It Up, she should count herself lucky she even has any fans at all.

It's an awful track, but I have noticed promotion has increased over the week since it didn't rise to the top of iTunes as I assume they predicted.

I'm waiting on the "buy my single and send me your bank details and I'll reimburse you" tweet

It's a decent song I think. Just because it doesn't have dubstep all over it and it isn't radio friendly at all means it wasnever going to do well.

Tulisa gets so much negativity though, it's a wee shame!

To show a screen shot maybe. But I highly doubt she's the first to ever say buy my single and I'll follow you, Yes agreed Live It Up is shite tbh. What harm is she doing? If a fan gets a follow they'll be made up!

She's only following about 2000 people, so it's hardly working out for her.

Did anyone see Keith Lemon's bit on Celeb Juice about her being no 1 on FHM's sexiest list? For once i think it was Leigh Francis talking rather than Keith. He kept naming really hot girls from the list, and then kept reminding us that, "Tulisa's number one by the way, on THIS list."

This is so true. Especially the negativity part. People on DS seem to hate anyone who has success and loves when they fall.

Ahhh Keith Lemon jumping on the bandwagon again. I like Celebrity Juice and never miss an episode but that FHM list thing was just pointless. The list was compiled months ago, infact i'm sure it was when the last series was on so I never really seen any need in it, it was just a way to through shade at someone who already gets enough of it for nothing really.

I also see Amelia lily begging for people to buy her single in exchange for a follow why no thread on her? Or is this Just because Tulisa is the more unpopular one?

It's a matter of who really deserves the success though... bands don't seem to get a bashing. And that would probably be because not only have most of them played in horrendous clubs round the world as absolutely nothing to get where they are today, but they manage to play instruments and write their own material.
