I kinda feel like Alex knows what she is doing and got it under control...

Nomore You still slays me, could potentially be her best ballad.

I love No More You, with some serious production it could be amazing.

I do as well, she seems so confident.

Maybe LA plans to relaunch the label, it would be a bit silly for her to post laface with the status of the label being so bad

I dunno. LaFace were good in the 90s, but they did biiigggg damage to their acts later on. I don't want a second HOH performance down the line, if she gets signed with them and has success with this album.

Also, Epic did ruin Ciara and Cher's recent/previous eras. Silyl single choices.

LA if he is still fronting this label/trying to relaunch has learned in the years that have followed about single choices (see Cher Lloyd's US debut and Ciara having overdose finally released as a single) Alex has been through a lot like ciara and will fight like her. Ciara done well with Body party number 1 and even the following single I'm out achieving top 50 billboard status.

Alex is strong and with JoJo and the management team will all collaboratively pick a strong launch. I actually want Alex to be on this label and be a big act to rebrand it in 2014. I'm very excited about this power move if she has indeed managed this. Maybe JoJo suggested the relaunch of it as I know he would know of it's existence previously. Big moves ahead if we are to take this picture as solid proof of a signing. Now all I personally want is a MikeWill collab and possibly now even babyface

These hints are looking at Epic. Which I always had a feeling about, I just don't want to risk it by saying it, because things could change within a second. If she is with Epic, I want her to work with MikeWiLLMadeIt

I must say that Alex's management be it ROAR or KWL alone are doing amazing with AB. Very very strong movements keeping Alex alive in the media. I love it. Still coming across as a mature humble philanthropist. Needing THIS x100 stateside with music events simaltaneously organised

I think the connection is more to L.A/Epic than LaFace. She couldn't just post an Epic t-shirt as that would be too obvious. Alex does like to give us cryptic hints and has done so in the past.

We'll just have to wait and see, but I think at the very least, she had some label discussions while she was in NY. Notice that she had a meeting with JoJo AND Kevin while there. Kevin is an extremely busy man, so if he's come down to have a meeting with her, I'm guessing that they must be close to making a decision, if she hasn't signed something already.

Well if Alex ever does go down the gospel route, I want a track like this from her.

Don't think so. It doesn't say anything on their site.

She looks fine lol, you're obsessed with her weight.
She's not in an era anyway so even if she did gain weight, it doesn't matter cos she always goes hard at the gyms prior to any promotion.

I think she looks HOT ... loving the dress

and her thigh looks a bit bigger in the first photo cos it's her ASS lol, she's got a big ass so your leg ALWAYS gets thicker towards the top if you have big ass.

Which pic is she "pretty big" in...? I think Alex has been looking in shape recently. She was a bit heavier last year when she was going on all those holidays and had the break-up/HOH etc to deal with, but now she looks great imo...

Maybe I'm not seeing it?
