Well the stage was set by little mix who has the same format and still there today
Call Me cynical but think it's just a marketing idea,, to promote Fleur

I would think that 99.9% of the people who come here, on a X Factor forum, are already fully aware of who Fleur is and have made up their mind whether the like her music or not.

thank god she didnt win is all i can say.
can you imagine that ghastly winners single from last year being her debut ?

Girl On Fire (the cover on her album) would of have been a good winner's single for her going back. The song showcases her vocals beautifully. Glad she didn't win tho as she right where should be.

what difference would it have made had she won ?

she would have been signed by the same record company as she is anyway , getting the same amount of promotion and support

She could have left it off the album. Little Mix didn't put Cannonball on their debut and so far are the only winners not to have their winning single on their debut.

I thought it was a really good song, however it didn't suit Fleur and exposed her vocally. There are hundreds of songs which would have been better suited.

That's because it was another example of giving an unsuitable winners song to a finalist. The song was too mature for them, even Marcus Collins sang it better.

Now you are having a laugh. When have you said anything constructive about Fleur?

This is nice for the fans. http://www.justjaredjr.com/2015/12/0...-album-at-hmv/

When have you not argued with anyone who suggested Fleur is not the biggest superstar in the world. Deluded

I have no problem with anyone who is not keen on Fleur as an artist. We all like different acts.

What i do have a problem with though is an element of people that do not like Fleur, but spend an endless amount of time on this thread deriding all that she does.

As i have stated before i don#t like LM or 1D, so i don't spend time on their threads saying that i am not keen on them. What would be the point? Still everyone to their own i guess.

These petty arguements are ruining this thread for me and u hardly ever get into discussions about it. This thread isn't talking about fleur it's people getting into petty arguements with each other. Both sides give it a rest! So silly! It's one singer, you like her good you don't okay! Tbh I just a don't get if you Don't like someone why you keep posting in a thread about her! And on the other hand I respect if you don't. You say this is a discussion thread but tbh there isn't much discussion going on, just like school children in playground.

Rant over

I am in full agreement with most of what you have to say here. I am more than happy to have sensible debate with people.

So take it to the appreciation thread where you can all sing Kumbaya together to your heart's content away from the dissenters and pesky realists.

Any news on midweek chart yet Kids?

Comes in around 5:45

Thanks darlin! I shall look forward to that

Sure they'll be a sales figure tonight too, if not then tomorrow.

Hoping she's done good with 3 days in - I'm happier knowing compilations don't chart! X

With compilation albums not counting which i had not realised Fleur should chart in the top 10 which wil be good.

here is the jingle bell ball performance - loved the little change in the melody she made in some parts

The audience there loved it. Fleur is going to do really well when she goes on tour.

Beastie is currently no7 midweek chart!

Love, Sax and Flashbacks is at #7 in the album midweeks. So much better than what people were implying. Let's hope it can chart top ten.

The fact that all the artists ahead of her (Coldplay, Adele, Elvis, Bieber, Little Mix & Jess Glynne) are all well established artists just shows she is in world class company.
