Not my type of music to be honest, some decent tracks. Probably top 10 would be fair. But i agree she's probably earned a lot of money through, fashion, books, fragrance, x factor. maybe album sales isn't that interesting to her. she desperately wants n dubz back the other two seem to be saying not just yet. probably she doesn't enjoy solo music, she doesn't seem comfortably performing by herself either.

She isn't particularly talented either. Of course the same equally applies to Cheryl, the obvious one to compare her to - except Cheryl had experience in a massively successful mainstream band behind her before going onto X Factor. She also had a pretty successful start on the show without being caught up in controversy around bullying contestants in her first series (like Tulisa did with Misha B) or dodgy videos being released onto the web. Cheryl also compensates for weak vocals with impressive physical performances, Tulisa just doesn't have the stage presence to be a solo hit.”



Really good post,agree with what you said

Agreed really.

I'm not really sure what her target audience is.

People who like real "Urban" music won't go near it

Anybody over 21 probably won't buy it

Can't see any guys buying it

Don't think she's a gay icon

so, I guess that just leaves 14 year old girls?

I agree with the poster who said it was bad timing. Not just that but Sight of You was a poor single choice to release before the album, I like Tulisa but the song is just dull and there were better tracks on the album that could have been released instead.

Having said that, Ke$ha's new album is making Tulisa's album look like a huge hit. K$ isn't even top 40.

Agree with this really bad timing she could of even released it last year were she was really popular with Little Mix.

I like Urban music, I'm 22 and a guy...you got that right, I'm not buying her album.

However I know of several people in my age group who are Tulisa fans.

Kesha isn't on xfactor or a UK artist. Tulisa should be doing much better than she is.

Even Dappy got to number 6 and he isn't on the xfactor every-week.

There is no denying she has really under-performed. It's hard to see what she will do next. Do N-Dubz get back together, does she change her image or does she become a TV personality?

I think the sex tape all but finished her music career. I can't ever see her being a major star now.

Yes I agree with you. She has had no personality this year and been over shadowed by the slightly mad but wonderful Nicole. Her performance on BGT earlier was horrendous and the performance on XF wasn't much better. If you add in her vile rants on twitter she is losing fans fast.

Ke$ha is still a huge artist and "Die Young" is currently getting a lot of airplay and is top 10. She is underperforming more than Tulisa is.

Dappy went in at #6 with sales of 12,000. Tulisa will easily pass those sales come Sunday despite having a lower chart position.

Tulisa is selling more than Dappy though even if her chart position is lower

Kelly Rowland was semi-popular on X Factor last year and she only Managed #55 with her album; after a X Factor performance. To be honest, with all the hate and bad publicity Tulisa has had this year,i'm suprised she is even top 20. I think it's a shame, I don't think she is a bad girl. It's easy to see she's unhappy on X Factor and being a solo artist, I think she just wants to be back with N-Dubz.

Cheryl Cole was the exception, no one will probably ever repeat her X Factor related success. I think it would of been interesting to see Nicole release an album during the show, since she is supposedly the ''star of the show''

Yes, the "13/14 year old girl" demographic does seem to be where they were pitching the album. I guess they are busily paying attention to One Direction though!

It isn't, it's actually only at #22.

It is based on one day of sales because the chart starts on Sundays and albums are released on Mondays.

She did manage a remarkable feat - turning in a worse performance than Cheryl Cole. And she wore a hood, presumably to hide her embarrassment.

Kelly has never had massive success in the UK but shes very popular in actual urban charts (unlike the one with urban roots) and on the club scene too. But Kelly tends to do better with collaborations rather than her own material.

I don't see how people can say Cheryl's X Factor performances were bad. The songs might not be to peoples taste and she can't sing that well, but she definitely put on a huge show for both of her performances.

Kelly's album was a re-release though not a new album

Well said, her single is doing ok really http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/singles probably could be higher but someone said it wasn't even going to make the top 40 which obviously isn't nearly the case

Maybe her fans are edgy/tech savvy urchins who'd never pay for something they can download illegally for free.... perhaps 2.3 million people own her masterpiece but didn't actually buy it.

Love this post. Speak that truth! She's far too nervous to become a solo singer, she looked so uncomfortable on BGT and X Factor. Personally I think she was made to do the album but would prefer to be an actress instead. Also if she decided who her market was and determined whether she was urban or and Ibiza party girl.

She's been so unlikeable this year. Even when promoting herself on shows other than The X Factor she has a face like a slapped arse. What's the matter with her?
