She won't be doomed at all. There is plenty of stuff for her to do even if her venture in the charts doesn't go well.

Besides, there is also a ton of unused original material just waiting to be used. Mrs. O has already said that Sam will be doing original stuff and there is no reason why this can't and won't happen.

Chill.

Hmm. There's always a backlog of unreleased songs knocking around the record companies though, so it doesn't necessarily have to be covers. Also, if Sam was indeed the real Plan A then it could well be they've had people writing for her already - that's essentially what they did with 1D and their album came out pretty quickly too IIRC.

She had a million votes. That won't be a million people.

She's going to be touring wih Beyoncd then, so it makes total sense for her to have an album out then to capitalise on it. Bands used to write and record albums in a week years back, so no reason why Sam can't do the same and be successful, too.

Of course, one could also argue that the autumn release dates have possibly been negative for winning contestants in recent years as a lot of the buzz surrounding them winning has died down at that point and there's another series on. It worked for Leona but there's also an argument that going back to an earlier release date might help capitalise on the winners victory more than waiting.

But I have a feeling Simon is gunna be desperate to get rid of her because she's not a typical popstar. Also, is it actually possible to record an album of original material in 2 months??

She's so doomed that her new single, in less than 24 hours, has already sold 176,507 on iTunes.

Barely stepped off the X Factor stage and already announcing a debut album? Cowell doesn't hang about.

There is enough time to record a proper album for March. Sam is the kinda of singer that can record in 3 takes. She ain't doomed at all.

As posted by Skepticism above, she will be touring with Beyonce and it makes sense that she has stuff to promote. I don't think for a second that this is being done so they can show her the door asap. Even if they do, she will still have all sorts of stuff on offer that will makes our lives look little and horribly insignificant.

The key word in the article's title is 'could'. She 'could' also release it in November. And with the absence of any source (there isn't even an unnamed source!) they're clearly guessing.

Is Sam touring with Beyonce or will she get her own tour?

An album of covers would sell the end for sure.

No - 1D's first single was a summer release (can't remember the month) and their first album was out in November 2011.

The Mother's Day launch reeks more of Marcus Collins and Mary Byrne style treatment - an album of mainly covers. However what this article says, and what the truth will be, may be two different things.

I have a feeling that if they don't move quickly enough, her sales will fall more into sales levels of The Voice winners - I think she is more like the The Voice winners than any previous XF winners.

August to be precise!

Why are posters saying she is touring with Beyoncé? She is doing ONE show as confirmed by Dermott and radio one today

I was thinking that too, its going to be a rushed album for Mother's Day full of cheesy covers That makes me think they didnt want her to win.
That is cool she's touring with Beyonce though, even if its just one time.

Except that she hasn't.

Probably because the DS report stated that the winner would tour with her rather than just perform one show.

I don't see why people are saying a March release instantly means a covers album. Songwriters like Gary Barlow, Ryan Tedder, Sia (who she should be working with IMO) will have hundreds and hundreds of songs waiting for artists to pick from. I know she won't be working with them but I'm sure I read the Xenomania team have thousands of songs stored
