That is great mate, you even got noticed by Entity I am sure they will sail through to the final, but if all my favourite acts make it there it will be one brutal show! Hopefully shitty acts like Lorraine get voted off fast.

I wonder when Lauren will get her tonsils sorted out so she can then get signed?

Oh, sorry my bad. I just assumed that you live in Brighton since you went to see the show there.

If her tonsils and all the issues that she already had because of them and might have again in the future are the reason why she hasn't been signed yet, then I hope she will have them removed soon. Her first cover was amazing so she is able to record something great even with tonsils, but singing live if she has health problems could be a problem. She should still get signed asap!

I wonder what was going through Simon's head before he voted. For a second there I thought that he might vote for that overrated and annoying squeaker kid. He hasn't saved Lauren, but at least he saved her brother's group, for all the right reasons. Now 2 of my favourites are already in the final, looking forward to seeing my other few favourites perform.

As someone who works in marketing I'm not sure Lauren is doing enough to put her name about

In the music industry you can be forgotten about very quickly. Hell i bet some people who watched the x factor regularly would now refer to her as that young girl from last years x factor cause they can't remember the name

I agree. I understand she might still be busy working on the new house, but I really hope she has a good plan or something and starts doing something to get that contract soon. She will have to get busy with anything related to her future music career. Some labels have probably already forgotten about her by now...


I would love to see a pic or two of Lauren sunbathing haha. https://twitter.com/laurenplatt7/sta...36690658078720

I'll tell you later after work what I'd do if I was her manager or agent

She would have proper working days and be very tired even though she hasn't been signed

Cover was a possibility, but I was kind of expecting that she would give us a link to her new blog. And those upcoming vlogs will make it easier to wait for the new cover.

I'll tell you later after work what I'd do if I was her manager or agent

To be honest, I think her manager kinda sucks or he/she simply has no idea what to do with Lauren. Or maybe Lauren currently isn't ready to work too hard, which I hope isn't the case. I haven't done any research about what exactly a manager of a singer should do though, so I could be wrong.

It's a disappointing announcement. That blog if you read it looks mainly like product placement - she's probably paid to post glorified adverts for hair products etc. Just look at the most recent post.

It's sad that someone who has a real singing gift - whose voice I can listen to for hours - seems to be going nowhere and wasting her talents. I just hope she's also got some new music or covers coming soon as well.

It's weird but I tend to support people on XF who end up being unsuccessful, and I'm sorry to be this negative but if she doesn't make serious focus on music soon she'll be forgotten by this time next year.

All the other acts even when they hadn't been signed had been organising gigs even sterekicks released a song

She's done nothing bar the cover.


I have a Bad feeling her inexperience is showing with lack of work

Right if I was laurens manager I'd constantly be on the phones of potential gig locations asking if they would like lauren to perform their. I Would be sending out online surveys to her fans who exist to see where they live. I would be having most my gigs there to build on the fan base.

I would be getting laurens I contact them as well. I would be getting laurens to constantly update her CV of all the gigs she does and say how many people go to them. I'd get positive reviews to put on there. I would be getting LAUREN to record loads and loads of covers for YouTube. Doesn't have to be like her first one. I would be sending these covers in a video mail to the record company's constantly with the updated CVs over and over and over again.

I would be getting in touch with charities to see if they would like LAUREN to perform a charity song for them. Something to release and promote.

I would be getting LAUREN to write songs as much as a she can and every now and then work with other writers and singers (don't have to be famous) to give advice. Non famous onea would do it but you can get good non famous songwriters.

She would also perform these songs on YouTube and send to record labels.

Regularly ask her to do written and video recorded blogs.

I would ask mystery shoppers to watch her sing, give their advice to Lauren afterwards. She wouldn't know bout the mystery shoppers.

I would also contact record companies if they didn't reply within a Certain time period

Annoy them until they tell us under no circumstances will they sign her.

Obviously not all of the above can be dine as we wouldn't be made of money but get as much done as possible

At the moment I think she has been lazy and shown inexperience. Trust me you might think you are doing a lot and she probably does but there's always someone doing more. She needs to be doing something non stop. She can't wait for it to happen. It will only happen if she makes it happen. She has an advantage of having been on the X factor and gaining a fanbase.

It might also be worth getting in to foreign labels.

A great plan you got there Rob, which is why I think her management sucks!!! Neither they or Lauren are doing anything... I have to be brutally honest in this post.

I am still and will remain a loyal fan, but I agree with both of you 100%. She will have to step it up and actually start working hard if she actually wants to do something in the music industry and there is a place for her voice. The way things are now and if they continue to be this way, her talent will eventually go to waste.
Yesterday I didn't want to write this, but I thought she was kind of lazy for about a month now since a week after she released that amazing cover. She hasn't done anything at all worth mentioning since then...

Since the show, as far as we know, she has done a few interviews before the tour (were there any after?? ), that random unannounced "gig" at the mall around Christmas time that I am sure a lot more people would attend if they knew about it more than 2 hours before it happened, a gig at the GAY bar (everyone had done that one!), the tour and made 1 cover... and that is pretty much it. About covers, we don't need covers with music videos and editing...she should just record herself singing the songs like most people on youtube do (as many times as it is needed until it is flawless, I don't want to hear a flawed cover with mistakes that I usually quickly notice) and put that on youtube. Then sing those songs on gigs among a few favourite songs from x factor and put on a great show.

Do you think Charlie is holding her back a bit? Could she be afraid of not being able to spend so much time with him if she actually has to start working hard? She should focus on her career and not her love life, she can always get together with him or her friends after a day of hard work (either it is writing, recording in an actual studio, doing gigs...). Sorry, but at the moment it seems to me like she is doing nothing about her career, other things seem to be more important.

Things will have to change and soon rather than later or like Oilness said, she will be forgotten by this time of year.

That is good, but I think she will have to do a lot more to get that contract at this point. And she isn't doing nearly enough to achieve that in my opinion.

Again I hate writing this as I don't like to be negative, but I wonder if the problem is that she seems to come from a quite wealthy family who might have made things too comfortable. Last year they got her a car for her 17th birthday, and have probably paid for her to move into a new house. It's often the case for teenagers that if they're not pushed they get lazy and don't put in effort (speaking from personal experience here!).

Fleur and Ben by contrast were that bit older and had tried and failed for years to make it. Maybe that gave them a determination Lauren hasn't shown. And Simon and the other record labels recognized that. On XF Simon often talks about people not really wanting it, and not having the drive. Maybe that's what's happening here sadly.
