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.”

Oliness, she does seem to have plenty of money and that to me seems very likely to possibly be the main reason why she has done nothing except that cover since the tour. She tweeted that demand a gig thing not sure when and the highest demand was for UK, but even that is kind of quiet at the moment, We don't know what is going on in Lauren's head, but at the moment I just don't feel like she really wants this or has the drive to succeed. She doesn't seem to be too serious about this.
Kinda disappointing, we will see if things will be any different a month or two from now... I believe that she can succeed if she really starts seriously doing something about it, she just needs that push and will to succeed, she already has the talent!
It would really suck to see her talent go to waste and her name being mostly forgotten a year from now, it just makes me sad thinking about it
I am done being negative now, I am just glad I am not the only one. Looking forward to hopefully great things ahead.
