that's nowhere near as awful as it ought to be
![]() however, the only 'message' you send with an album of covers is that this is the beginning and the end of my recording career |

Andrea has a very simple vocal style, might sound better if she got into the songs more. Although this version of 'Dancing in the Dark' sounds ok and could have been even more mournful.

The tracklisting is:
1. Ho Hey 2. Dancing In The Dark 3. Secret Smile 4. Breakfast At Tiffany’s 5. The Message (produced by Danny O’Donoghue) 6. Lightning Bolt 7. Angel 8. Latch 9. Autumn 10. Take On Me 11. Falling Slowly 12. Love Will Tear Us Apart 13: My Immortal (Songs in bold are songs Andrea has written, and the one in italics is the only one I'm unsure of) It's probably worth noting that it's been sitting around the #146-#150 mark on Amazon's chart for a few days now. Which isn't bad considering that there has been no promotion (and it should HOPEFULLY do better than Leanne's debut) |

I didn't realise she was going to be releasing an album full of cover songs. Very disappointing.
I know they probably wanted to strike while the iron was hot and not make the same mistake they did with Leanne but rushing out an album full of covers is really bad. I think Andrea and any winner of these shows deserve better. There is surely a happy medium between locking a winner away for a year and rush-releasing a covers album? |

Quite interested to hear her original songs though. |

Just listened to Dancing In The Dark. I think she has a pretty voice but there's just no emotion in her voice or her performance. I hope the album does alright though. She was treated harshly when she won and she'll get it ten times worse if the album flops.

Andrea's new album is now being advertised on Youtube, with a performance of Dancing In The Dark being played before Youtube videos.

Whatever happened to Leanne? Haven't heard anything about her recently.

I'll be pre-ordering my copy soon.
For anyone who doesn't know, Andrea also released a free download of a song by her called "Just A Task" |

If you pre-order Andrea's album on iTunes you get the title track to download.
(The previews are also on iTunes. The Message and Love Will Tear Us Apart sound brilliant) |

Andrea's performing on SCD on Sunday night, with the album out the morning after. There's a TV ad campaign that started today and I've already seen it a few times.
The album's #64 on Amazon which is looking good, it should climb on release, especially after Strictly. Andrea was also on QVC earlier in the week and QVC sold 100 copies of the album in 10 minutes. So it's all looking promising so far. |

I wonder if Danny O’Donoghue will abandon her when the album sales start to fall, like he did with poor Bo Bruce.

As far as I know Danny had ditched Bo before the album was released. That was my assumption though, I presumed Save Me was about him.

She has a beautiful voice and deserves more than a rushed, cheap as chips album full of other people's songs. I hope this album will at least sell well enough so she can make her own music though. I think she has real potential.

She's doing better than Leann but i blame the public because yet again, they didn't vote for the true winner. Andrea is talented but she isn't going to sell millions of records, where as Leah will. People vote for their favourite, where as when i watch singing reality shows, i am drawn to those who are realistically going to be successful because that's what it is at the end of the day in these record labels eyes.

The album is beautiful! Bought it yesterday and haven't been able to stop listening to it. I'm surprised that BBC Radio 2 haven't supported it though. Hopefully they'll playlist her tomorrow, after seeing how well the album is doing. Looks like it'll go top 10!
