i'm so proud and excited for her... she really does work, even if we moan sometimes.

she's the first x factor act to do something like this, jojo and kevin love her.

It has taken well over a year, but to be honest, if we consider what happened back in June 2012 with HOH, miracles have been worked for Alex. She's got a team that believes in her, new management and a brand new sound.

I just hope it pays off. Of all the X Factor winners, Alex had the most potential imo, but she wasn't handed out the opportunities that other winners got. She had to work for a lot of it, and Beyoncé also did her quite a few favours as well. I don't think Simon ever really knew what to do with Alex, so I'm glad she's totally free from his brand now.”

Totally agree.

It just needs to pay off now. If Epic is confirmed, they better have a budget and promo schedule IN PLACE and ready to go for Alex. And I want her VEVO sorted out as well, those 50m views need to get restored. I know Epic have a good relationship with VEVO so they better get making those calls.

I'm so excited for Alex, she never gives up. Once this all gets confirmed she's going to surprise a lot of people imo. I agree, I've never seen an X Factor act do this before.

the fact that the boss of epic basically spent xmas with alex shows he LOVES her and BELIEVES in her

getting to know her family in the UK etc, its great!

KWL definitely believe in her, she just needed to get a label on board, and with Jojo's new role at Epic, that looks like it has been taken care of as well.

It also helps that Alex has links INSIDE of Epic fighting her corner, as that will help her a lot, particularly with label politics. She has set herself up really well, it just needs to happen now.

I still can't believe that we will potentially be seeing her on US charts and TV and in the media there. I pray this works out because Lord knows she deserves it.

She needs all forces go tbh. No excuses, she's not a newbie now.

Even if they can't get the views back, they need to at least place them in the top top header of the video pages. Also she needs to be using the finance for vevo to give her banners for her videos.

I've been so out of the loop recently, but reading all this stuff is SO exciting! The build up to a new album is always so fun and hopefully once this is all confirmed it won't be long till a single announcement, etc. I just am in desperate need of a new album ASAP haha

Looks like she's still in the studio. I reckon they have got the album now and have picked all of the tracks. Or...the 6 hour album listening session the other day was for them to listen all the tracks recorded and pick what goes on the album. I reckon they've chosen what they want now and they are now putting the final choices to the chosen tracks.

Maybe even features now. I think in the next couple of days they will try to make arrangements for that.

AND Vice President of Epic Records! WTF. Maybe Alex is getting a joint deal then?

This is big news if her manager is the VP of Epic and manager at LaFace. I'm so shocked.

I knew he had something with laface it wasn't just epic because of baby face!! Alex is probably epic/laface so jojo has 100 percent control

I'm so so so so ecstatic I thought it would be VP of laface but it seems la wants help!!

All I can say is I'm proud

F*ck a confirmation from Alex we all know the truth now. Alex basically told us all along with that laface pic.

It's either epic - likely (as Jojos vp) epic/laface (very likely as jojo has roles in both labels) or just laface (less likely but not impossible) very very excited at this moment

This is her chance and she's got a monster machine behind her plus we don't need to worry about managers as Kevin is huge! Ah this is brilliant. Amazed

L.A. doesn't want help, he needs help.

Either way, it's massive, massive news for Alex. Kevin and Jojo are so well connected and with Jojo's new position at Epic, I pray that they really push Alex hard as a new artist in the U.S.

It's almost guaranteed that promo is gonna be on overdrive can't wait for her breakfast club exclusive wonder how she'll handle charlamagne. 😂

Anyway Alex has gone from zero to literal hero she's got a golden team behind her she's eclipsed her rivals in terms of the resources she has she has someone on the inside at a senior level and she has the same guy controlling her management it's crazy! Like Alex will get chances if single 1 doesn't work it's not like it's make it or break it.

After seeing this i don't even care about the wait for music. She's in very good hands now.
