No If that was the case I'd be feeling sorry for myself daily. It's because it's just all so humiliating.
Tulisa's album sells only 7000 copies - why so low?

No I don't. It makes some feel uncomfortable perhaps but what they did constituted bullying and worse, pre-planned and presumably endorsed by an organisation. Bullying it was, no question.

So if after X Factor finishes tomorrow, on the other side, Alan Hansen criticises a football player who played badly on Match of the Day, is he bullying too?
Surely its the sales that matters and not whether it's in the top 40 or not. Despite the low chart position this album is going to have, it's December so lots of albums are being sold, and this album might be doing okay, sales wise.

That's a poor example. If there was a clear cospiracy between the show's producers, Hansen and his co-pundits to systematically denigrate ai indivisual by applying different standards in their critique with a view of undermining confidence, performance and reward then yes. But, like I say, MOTD is very different to X FActor

I agree with this.

To an extent but she actually released her album in a quiet week, nearly all the albums above her have been out for more than a week now, regardless, #33 in the first week is not the mark of an album that is selling well. Also, regardless of the sales, "#33 album" makes her a flop in the eyes of the public which will make it even more difficult to get them to warm to her in the future this hurting her future sales. One True Voice and, to a lesser degree, Joe McElderry were ruined after their single had only the second highest first week sales of the whole year because they failed to reach #1.
Most of the general public don't know, or care, how Tulisa's album is doing. They'd still hate her even if it got to #1 and sold a million.
Maybe the section of the public that buys one album per year doesn't don't but I would imagine the part of the public that make up most album sales does. The other part will get their cue from the big radio stations and TV channels and getting them to playlist a Tulisa song is going to be far more difficult now than it was immediately after Young got to #1.

Because I dislike her intensely.

It's hilarious, that's why?
I can just imagine Dermot saying congratulations Tulisa on successful album which failed to debut in the top 40.

It wouldn't be 'sucessful' it would be a flop!!
Dermot's words would more likely be "Hard Luck Tulisa....maybe next year"!!

what do you have against the girl?
it's a bit weird you can dislike somebody that much when you have never met her?

why is it funny
do you not want to see her do well?
It's ironic how she criticises Christopher and wonders who would buy his album. She should probably start worrying about who's not buying her album.

She is over hyped, she is up herself and boasts about being a credible urban artist when her songs are nothing more than shit dance-pop songs that teenagers get bored of after a few days.
It is a relief to see an act like her not storm the charts. She was good in N-Dubz and they were good at what the did but she (and Dappy) got to big for their own boots and she does not deserve any success as a solo star.
Plus it's just hilarious, Kelly's album peaked at #43 and it would be the funniest thing ever if Tulisa's dipped lower than that (Which I think it will).
