Y'all are going to have to get some more patience if you're going to follow her on her US plans. It takes a verrrry long time travelling round the radio stations.

Trust all of you to be like "still want label news".

If she announced the label instead you would all gloss over it and say "we want single news".

She can't win just now lol.

X Factor official FB page posted Alex's and Beyonce's duet as an iconic moment, the only other iconic moment they posted was 1D's audition.

I would like a song like this from Alex... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8VoUYtx0kw

It's upbeat so she can show off her vocals and it's got a great message behind it... I think it would work for her in America, not as a single may I just add. More of an album track or deluxe edition.

Well that's what I think anyway. :3

I really don't see what the judges and others see in Tamera, yeah she has a good voice and is good looking, but she doesn't seem comfortable on stage to me, I think All Night Long could show her up some what.

Really sit down and discuss what sort of video they want. Bad Boys and Broken Heels were good videos, but I always got the impression that they were given a big budget, told to make a pop video and that was it really...not much discussion. The All Night Long video was a really good idea, but it was so cheap and it absolutely stank of SYCO just trying to save money. Start Without You I'm not even going to talk about. I thought The Silence was her best video in terms of how she looked and the production of it. It was the most professional. Only issue with that one is that it didn't really have a story. So yeah, I'm hopign this time around she does a video where things discussed and so that when she is asked in an interview "So what was the idea around this video?", she can respond with an actual answer. I'm happy that she seems to be with creative people, people she gets on with. People who aren't basic (*cough* Char). I just hope now that the label she is with are decent and have a big budget because without that she won't be going anywhere.”

That originally had a good budget though, they filmed a video out in America for it only to scrap it for the terrible one we got. I am still desperate to see it.

We all know this. A lot of us follow other artists who are either American or are trying to crack the American market. I think it's a bit rude of you to say that really.

Her voice on the Inspiration Awards...I just don't have any words.

I didn't wanna say it but...jack the video and split it in two if you can

Post each one on your channel...she gets some views...promo is promo!!

Do it!

Also for the new era I just want THAT voice at the Inspiration Awards to be the worst she sounds. Considering she has competition from all fronts and to make sure she stands out, she needs to vocally serve each time. Serious vocal things now! If she wants to prove the haters she has to bring it out. Choreo, image and her PR too.

Edit: LOOOOL at Alex posting the vid of her at the Awards...PROMO!! She better be like that with the single and videos for the new album!

Haha good idea, but I'd feel really bad taking someone else's video like that, I usually only post things I record or source first .

Seriously though that is probably the best Alex vocal I have seen. I'm not having a very good time in my life right now and today was particularly bad but that performance really made my day a little bit better, I honestly nearly cried at those vocals

I'm so picky with singers and there are few that can move me liket hat, she is just greatness personified!

If I'm super-critical about the performance, she did have some minor pitch/tuning issues, but they were very minor, and she did say she was nervous. I suppose because she hasn't been performing live in one take much, her vocals will have probably slipped slightly.

When she gets back into the swing of doing loads of live performances, I'm sure she will sound even better. But as Paul said, the emotion she put into the vocal was incredible, the last minute or so of Try was just fantastic.

I hate how underrated she has become, so I hope this new single is good enough to get her back on everyone's radar because she sure as hell deserves to be, especially in America.

The fact that they have picked a single is so weird but exciting..I really want to know what it's like.. is it a ballad? mid tempo? I have so many questions. I can't wait for it to all get rolling.. a premiere, sending it to radio, the video, promo.. I can't wait.

I was shocked when I came on this morning and seen you guys discussing video and single, so I checked her FB.

Was the last thing I expected! Really thought we weren't gonna get any news until like Feb 2014

Yeah I noticed it too. I think it was the fact she was belting so much, that happened in the Stage It thing (although this time it was far more minor).

Same here. Luke posted the FB message on here, and it took me like a minute to realise what it was saying. I was shocked.

I wasn't expecting any news until 2014, so it is really weird that they've decided the first single already. I wonder if it has a feature?

I think a feature on the first single would be great. If it was Pitbull/other highish profile artist it would be a good way of generating a bit more interest and giving the campaign a boost to start with.

It will have to be. Nowadays it's essential. Look at Sevyn Streeter. Chris Brown on her single has done her wonders even though it was better without him (it's the itunes version I use).

I never want her collaborating with Pitbull again to be honest. But a feature on the first single would be good.
