Definitely lacks the spark that James and Little Mix's new singles have.

I can't see this launching her career tbh. Spoon-feeding one act to the public to nudge her over the finish line isn't a way of testing someone's commercial sustainability. I wonder where she would have finished last year were she not sold as, quite literally, an angel.

If Louisa really was being pushed so much last year by the producers to win X Factor, why didn't they invest in some y'know songs?!!!

So Average is a more suitable song title. The song is just not that good and I'm not keen on the sound of Louisa's vocals on the chorus. A bit like Forever Young, even the best singer in the world would struggle to make that arrangement of Forever Young sound interesting.

As I posted in the other thread, Tears has clearly been a fluke hit for Louisa by default as it's really a Clean Bandit - and they're singles since Rather Be have all been brilliant (except Extraordinary but let's pretend that one never happened ).

I'm already feeling a bit sorry for Louisa. SYCO hyped her up, and now SYCO are about the shattered the illusion. I'll be surprised if Louisa has any success in 2017.

It's a worry too that no album is ready in the wings. Her chat with Dermot after her performance was so awkward as they usually use that chat to plug the debut album.

#4 on I tunes.

I think she will be top 5 on Friday which would be great. Where is her album?

I really enjoyed her performance and I surprisingly like the song

Honestly, it looks and sounds like someone cloned 90s Britney and gave her a somewhat stronger voice.Overprocessed, overlayed vocals taken too far, IMO,but a well crafted song all the same.

Unlikely. She's at 117 with streams on Spotify at the moment and her sales look like they could well be peaking round about now. She'd need to find a hell of an extra oomph in momentum from somewhere to make top 5

I'd be surprised if this went Top 10 this week.

Peaked at 9 and then vanished. Bye Louisa, it's was average knowing you.

I don't think Louisa has been playlisted anywhere?

Yeah she has capital heart and track of day radio 1 itl get play listed whenever they update it

can't see it on spotify top 50 chart right now, is it released on streaming?

Last I checked, it was outside the Top 100.

Yeah it's 76

Ben whonow was dropped after hitting #21.

Can she get higher than that?

Probably, but I doubt by much.

Reggie n bollie went to 26 and they ain't even certified new girl so yeah there next single is Christmas so if they can stay then why can't Louisa

Ben must've been a sod behind the scenes

He was never going to do anything of note because he was so non-descript on X Factor.

He won the whole show because he sang Thinking Out Loud twice. Sing current popular song that the public love, win the show.

I suppose it's only a matter of time before Matt Terry gets to perform Say You Won't Let Go, then duet with James Arthur in the final. Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Flopped.

Ben was just dull. I'm sure he was a nice guy, but there was never much spark for Syco to work with. Sadly for Louisa, she's also dull, so it's going to be tough for her should this song fail.

Best hope Louisa gets a good chart position! I do see her potential but she needs some stage craft

That position is maintained for the charts of the week:

Just one place #20

It looks like it's climbing down on itunes so #20 may be the peak

She's got all the tools a popstar should need, but her lane is extremely full and this is a bit lacking in spark.

She's very young so I think/hope Syco will give her some serious development time. Perhaps an opening slot for Little Mix next year.

Bet the lp won't happen now ,she will be dropped like a brick by syco
