For all we know she's actually listening and creating a stronger first single. I just hope when the new Alex is fully unveiled label and all that she's a FORCE which will stand strong in the US

Really? I don't think I'll ever lose interest in Alex. I thought I maybe was when I was majorly disappointed by HOH but her voice always brings me back!


Also, Im terrible at maths but Alex currently has 99993 followers on Instagram which means she is only 7 away from 100k? Thats pretty great

Neither No More You or Shine are good enough imo. Maybe I'll change my mind when she releases the HQ version but I'm not sure.

I think the disappointment of the EP and the bad snippets are putting me off. My other faves just keep going and release great (maybe a tad generic but who cares) music.

I do agree .... I noticed her followers have actually started going down now, they hung around at 715k for months, going up and down but now it's constantly down and that isn't good what so ever.

She needs to hurry the f*k up ... If it's ALL ready, why is she waiting? She ain't released music in SO long, release something girl, a buzz single if you ain't releasing the lead. The longer we wait, the more damage she is making unfortunately. People won't wait years for her... She has so much potential and hopefully 1 day has the power to be able to make fans wait but she CONSTANTLY does it smh

Tim, you want generic music lol
Nomore You sounds good, she isn't gonna release something like All Fired Up by The Saturdays.

No offence but I see your 'faves' ... Alex is in a different lane compared to them.

She can't be affording to release generic european music... It's about getting that AC audience now.

Yes I enjoy generic music. But I enjoy other music too.

Ariana Grande's album was fantastic, so was Ciara's

I'm waiting for the HQ version of the single. I'll never entirely give up on Alex, but I'm not sure if I'll stan for her as much as I did before

Ciara's album was a flop tho.... Why would you want Alex to release something like that. (I like Ciara but Alex would get ripped for releasing similar material, plus if Ciara can't succeed with that sound, Alex won't).

Ariana's was alright, not a massive success though.

Alex can't afford to be a copycat either, she needs to find her OWN sound.

I never said I wanted Alex to release anything like that, I was just expressing that I'm not just into dancepop

I agree Ariana didn't have massive success, but she did well for herself. Ciara messed her era up big time

Nomore You shows Alex's voice off amazingly, plus the song has a good melody/strong lyrics. It's what ALEX needs.

The album will probably be full of uptempos tbh knowing Alex, I can't see her isolating em.

If Alex came back with an uptempo, she'd get laughed at just because the public aren't 'wanting' that. Pixie Lott is gonna have another flop era, Nasty is already showing that lol

Edit: BTW i'm a much bigger fan of uptempo Alex also so her going down the slow route isn't what I personally wanted but it's NEEDED

I get that people are frustrated, but we've waited years already, I doubt a few weeks extra is going to make any difference.

There's no point complaining here as we don't know anything about the process going on at the moment. I personally think that they are considering some other single options or sorting out label stuff. The music is clearly almost ready, I don't think it's Alex holding it all back.

I'm fed up but I'm past all that moaning and shit that I used to do. Alex is never going to change when it comes to communication and time management I think she needs a few business lessons in order to know how to work the industry from a business point of view which will enable her to achieve her full potential. Instead she seems to be having spiritual lessons and all that rubbish so whatever.. I'm willing to wait because I like her and her voice but she is very annoying.

I get that she needs to show off her voice etc. I agree with all that

As I said, I'll be resrving jdugement until I hear the full HQ song, because I might get drawn right back in

Don't you all remember the wait for Elephant loool
She told us it's coming on September 5th on radio a week before

we didn't get it until January and didn't even get a proper radio premier looooool

That whole second album was a mess. We were told the first single was coming April 2011, and we ended up getting the premiere in January 2012. This wait is nowhere near as bad, and at least we've had some pretty good news so far as well.

Let us pray this wait is not as long as the Elephant wait lmao

lmao don't jynx it cos i wouldn't be shocked if it was

I understand, I'm not judging you or anything
I quite like No More You but I think Shine is a bit boring. I'm going to fully jude them though until I hear them in full HQ.

Tbh as I've said before, I think Alex is just as eager to put the music out as we are but there are a lot of "heads" and "suits" that she has to cooperate with at the label first. Its not as simple as her just wanting to release something and then it happening, its a business after all.

You don't know that though. She has no right to divulge her career daily workings. See Beyonce's new album as an example. I'd prefer she got on with the job tbh.

Agreed.

Alex has reached 100k followers on instagram .

Thank God.

At least she looks semi pro on that format now looool glad for her tho

She needs to get going in the US and get herself a few million more followers on both Instagram and twitter

I reckon after the first single she will get close to 950k Twitter and 180k Instagram. I don't think the numbers will go up that fast to begin with. These things usually increase more with TV appearances etc.

Agreed.
We should also remember that female stars usually have less followers than males (With a few exceptions). This is usually due to teenage girls following guys they like the look of regardless of their musical output or success.

This.
