Alex gigging is actually winning over a lot of people, unlike RCA... her new mgmt are making her perform ballads.

People are commenting on her VOICE and how outstanding she is, as Alex said RCA were only interested in her wearing skimpy outfits and dancing on stage.

She looks great.

I want uptempos like Tip Toe from Tamar from Alex, but with a little more aggression.

Also...where is she going?
Think she's just doing little events tonight after that ITV thing
she's got a lot on... it's good to see!

Usually she does this before she's ready to release something

I wonder what these "shows" are?

I'd like a song like this or this from Alex. I think she should work with Diplo who produced the second link and also Chris - Look At Me Now and Usher - Climax.

This is my point. She has to use her voice but also perform. People always used to say 'but Leona's better' as if she couldn't sang her ass off. Doing this while she's here is great. But she also needs to do it in her spare time in the US.

I think KWL could do right by her.

Flawless. Did she ever release that video she filmed in the studio?

I noticed Epic Records follows her on Twitter.

I do too.

How funny! I just listened to both those songs. I like Tam's album, it's good.

Yeah it's a great album. I like Pieces the best tbh. Sevyn Streeter wrote it. I admit I didn't notice that girl at first, but she's got talent. I'd like her to write for Alex actually.

Yeah but if she was signed to them before and they dropped her, surely they would have unfollowed her?

I think they only followed her recently, because they started following JoJo a while back as well.

Forget ginger, she needs to spill some spicy chilli tea and have them gasping for air.

GLO X Factor is such a flop. They can upload every Princess Pat video but not Alex's flawless performances?

I really like Try. Her vocals are brilliant. It's one of my favourite ballads from her now. I'm playing Light Of The Dreamer a lot recently as well. That song just gets me every time.

I wish Try was produced a bit better though. I don't like how it sounds in some places.

I'm really eager for an announcement now!! We can't be kept waiting much longer.... Music has to be coming in the next few months, well I hope January 2014 the ball starts rolling! And we don't even know what label she's signed to and we're in October, crazy.

She said the album is nearly complete now. Remember at the start of the year she said she had only recorded around 15 songs for the album.

Only recently has she said that she's got back the 2010 material, so I'm hoping she's got a label now that has injected cash into the project. If she releases an album the way she did for the EP, it will be a disaster. She needs some cash back again, because RCA were broke.

I think she won't say anything until the deal is 100% confirmed. She decided not to say things too early after the unreleased album/HOH mess.

Something has changed since the start of the year, I kinda have faith in KWL... Jojo really seems dedicated to Alex, has a lot of faith in her potential and that's good to see for once. I've never seen a MGMT team be involved so much ... Usually they are kept behind the scenes and hardly mentioned but they seriously believe in Alex.

KWL have a lot of connections also. I do just want that label announcement though.

I like KWL and what they are doing, but nothing can substitute a major label deal. I just hope she has finally secured one. I hate not knowing because nothing can ever happen until she signs one.

Also all those twitvids from 2010 with the Rico material have all been removed now, the only one that's still there is one which doesn't have any music playing. I think you can still hear the longest one on Ustream though.
