What has happened to Duffy?
I would love to know what Duffy is doing now - music wise - if anything
![]() I can't believe she's completely disappeared off the music scene, and would love her to make a comeback, although I just think that is so unlikely. I have a feeling that Mercy was just a one off. I doubt anything could top that. Any info would be gladly received

Her second album failed to replicate the success of her first and I seem to remember Duffy gettig a lot of stick over her live performances.

I didn't think her second album was that bad. Nowhere near as good as the first, no, but as far as it went as it's own piece of work I don't mind it. Well, Well, Well is one of the worst songs on there though and they were CRAZY to choose it for a single. I think people had unrealistic expectations...you can't top songs like Mercy, Warrick Avenue, and Distant Dreamer. It would be like expecting Adele to top the surprising and runaway success of Someone Like You.
I think the Diet Coke advert did a lot of damage to Duffy's popularity more than anything. Whoever came up with that rubbish should be shot. |

I was listening to Warwick Avenue before. It's such a beautiful song. I need a comeback from her!

Similar thing with Jessie J on the voice, But to a lesser extent. |

I think it is because celebs are all over the place these days, One very annoying advert can put you off someone. And that advert was annoying
Similar to the Scarlett Johanssen one where she is doing an interview. She comes across so smug i can't stand to watch her in a film.....I know it is not real but it does something to me to make me not want to see her |

I think the failure of her second album was down to her. Didn't she say she wrote it in like, three weeks? She blatantly just did not give a shit. It felt to me like she had no passion in her music at the time.

I really liked Duffy when she first released Rockferry, but then she released Rain On Your Parade - a poor man's Mercy, and she sounded even more whiney and nasal than ever on that track.
That song she did called Well, Well, Well didn't exactly help either. |

Didn't she have a fall out with her management after the first album as well? |

She scanned my groceries at Aldi last night. She was quick and effective.

I personally do not get what was so bad about the coke advert? Ive seen a lot worse! but meh... we all have opinions on things!
I loved her album, i didn't even know she had a follow up to it either and i'm pretty in touch with the top 40 too! I do think shes very much of her time though, i cannot see anyone in this day and age buying a Duffy record. |

The coke advert was bad as it showed the decline of her vocals. Her vocals for her live performances and the lead single were incredibly unbareable to hear.
If she returns, i hope she has had some serious extensive vocal training. Rockferry is a brilliant album but was baffled as to why Mercy was the biggest hit as the other tracks were so much better. |

Mercy wasn't a one off... Warwick Avenue is a beautiful song and I prefer it to Mercy so much!
My personal favourites are Distant Dreamer and I'm Scared. But the reason I mentioned Mercy as being a one off, was I thought that was her biggest single chartwise and career wise.... |

I hope she doesn't try and change her sound, and just keep to what she does best....i,e, distant dreamer, warwick avenue, and scared. |

Rebecca Fergusson is doing well with a similar style to Duffy`s first album, aimed at a slightly probably older audience. Duffy can fill in with a similar style for a younger crowd,Adele`s third should sell well,Duffy just needs to target that kind of audience. Unless she`s done something terrible to herself she should still come across as a `young,fresh` artist despite being, presumably,older than Adele or Rebecca Fergusson. |

Rain On Your Parade should've been a Bond theme. That is all.

i really liked 'my boy' ...that should have been the lead single from the second album with 'keeping my baby' as second single, and 'endlessly' as third.
