Single is still at 12 on itunes...Album is at 23!!!!
I suggest there needs to be a recount into this as surely these positions can't be right!!!!! |

Her music is dance/pop/urbanish i don't really know what makes something urban anyway when it comes to just making music. A lot of people label anything by a black artist as urban. |

Her genre for both single/album is labelled POP!!! Is she trying to fool buyers into puchasing this 'pop' crap , knowing full well that (in her tiny mind)urban doesn't sell (well)????
And then come out with a sweeping statement like this to justify low sales....which is happening at this moment??? |

A flat in Belsize Park, one of the most prestigious areas of London, how very urban. Her father also says he offered to pay for her private school tuition but she refused. She has a good relationship with her father and he has no reason to lie so I'm more inclined to take his word over hers. I know everyone loves have a rags to riches story these days but I abhor people who lie about this kind of stuff especially as someone who actually did grow up in a council flat. Tulisa wouldn't have lasted five minutes on most rough estates, she may like to film her "urban" music videos there but actually living on one is an entirely different matter.

Early life and career beginnings Contostavlos was born in Camden Town, North London, to an Irish mother, Anne Byrne (who, with her three sisters, was a member of the 1980s band Jeep)[2] and a Greek Cypriot father, Steve Contostavlos (part of Mungo Jerry).[citation needed] When Tulisa was five, her mother, who has bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder, was sectioned under the Mental Health Act.[2] Contostavlos's father left the family home when Tulisa was 14 years old.[3] She said that she was brought up in a 3 bedroom house and experienced a lot as a teenager: violence, depression, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, anorexia nervosa, mental health issues, financial difficulties and bullying.[4] At thirteen she was very emotional .[5] She revealed that she twice tried to kill herself as a teenager and also used to self-harm to try to help her cope with everything she was going through.[4] With support from her uncle, N-Dubz's former manager, Byron Contostavlos, at age 14 she enrolled at Haverstock Secondary School, later attending Quintin Kynaston School[2] in St John's Wood, but she didn't sit her GCSE examinations.[2 |

I don't think the performance the other night showcased her very well.
I must admit I don't know a lot about her or her music, but I thought her voice sounded a lot stronger when she sang with Little Mix last season. I remember being pretty impressed by her. To have enough prior success that you can make the album you like rather than one you think will sell is a luxury a lot of artists would love I'm sure. |

if Tulisa can be considered urban as a solo artist I cannot wait to see Girls Aloud storm the urban charts

To have enough prior success that you can make the album you like rather than one you think will sell is a luxury a lot of artists would love I'm sure. That's the crux I think. Based on last year people anticipated she would sing a lot better than she did on Sunday. Instead she sounded hoarse, as if she's been smoking too many ciggies, and when she tried to put a bit of gravel and bite in her voice twice at the start of a lyric it produced a grating sound like grinding gears. Still a reasonable enough performance IMO, and a catchy enough song, but she didn't "live up to (higher) expectations". |

And how can it be too urban when people like Jay Z, Beyonce, Neyo Kayne and Rhianna all far more urban than little miss stroppy pants have had no1 albums?
Beyonce is very talented and I even quite like Rhianna's new song

You're never going to like her album though.
1. You dislike Tulisa 2. You do not like urban music. So really it's not fruitful to listen to it and say ''It's horrendous'' Of course you will think that. But to people who appreciate this type of music, it is a world class album, perhaps it is album of the year so far

It's got nothing to do with her 'urban roots', Tulisa is just so unlikeable, and has the personality of wet cardboard.

And you know this how?????? Are you that deluded that you think because I don't like Tulisa's pop album I don't like "urban" music. Get over yourself. It is fruitful for me to listen to it, I need to form an opinion and I'll say what I like because it's my opinion. I'm not going around telling people to "buy Tulisa's album" in every thread like you.

You don't know me so I don't know why you think you can make those assumptions. I like real rap artists not these imitators and wannabes that you seem to stan for. I'm not going to change my opinion at all so you can keep calling me a 'snob' but it's not going to change what I will say tbh.

Is "urban" the new word for "eyewateringly chavvy", by the way? It certainly seems like it. A sea of fake tan and harsh black eyebrows that looked to be done with emulsion paint. And the perfume ... oh my god, the clouds of fumes ...
