Oh god I also read the Income is next to nothing and she isn't even gigging syco would do well to have her doing things like Christmas lights and things like support acts for jingle bell ball and summertime ball all of that will raise her profile even more in terms of fanbase - it's like they couldn't give a shite though

Maybe her demo material wasn't up to scratch and now she's stuck in limbo waiting around

She is currently in LA working in the studio. Has been doing quite a bit of work with Naughty Boy. Looking forward to hearing the results as she has a lot of potential, which is more than can be said of those remaining in this years show.

I never got her. She didn't come across as very nice and the vocal performances felt quite limited. The style felt unoriginal so I never engaged with her. For her sake, I wish her the best and I hope she puts out something really interesting but I just didn't get it during the show.

Looking at her Twitter feed this morning she sounds quite excited so maybe some news of her music coming shortly.

It seems working with "Naughty Boy" is a good thing from this forum

How long has she been in that studio? Were we not been told the same last year? Does it really take that long to learn her lines?

Naughty boy is a very good producer - I dunno why it's taken 3 years for tamera to come up with a good demo she's had Chris brown to!! Best thing for her to do is jump on a collaboration

Fleur can sing but she isn't as strong as Tamera, I am sorry but you are deluded if you think otherwise. And you can't claim she has a 'shite' work ethic when we don't know what she is doing behind the scenes, she can only do what Syco/Management let her.

Errrrrr deluded??????? Excuse me! Don't speak to me like That - I don't rate tamera voice as much as I do fleurs for I prefer fleurs tone and to me tone is as good as range! and having spoke to Joshua Alamu I know how fleurs range has actually broadens very much so and she is had poor technique on XF she's learnt to control her voice whilst working with her vocal coach Post show - tamera is a decent singer but I've seen more of fleurs and actually live to come to conclusion I think her's is better - and tamera work ethic on the show was diabolical she forgot her lyrics every single week bar a couple so there you go

Look you can't say her forgetting her lyrics is about work ethic, that is down to nerves and psychological reasons, come on now.

Think what you want but if you put Fleur and Tamera side by side and asked them to sing Tamera would come out on top. She has a bigger and more powerful voice than Fleur and I ain't talking about whose tone you prefer that is preference, I am talking about power, range, resonance etc.

Fleur is an incredible popstar and she has the full package, a good voice, brilliant dancer and exceptional stage presence, but her voice is the weakest part of her package.

Well maybe that will happen someday but for me personally I prefer fleurs voice and who knows what Fleur can do - she already has a bigger range and she's actually can hit higher notes than tamera.

Tamera might have a loud power voice take Whitney and Mariah for example and no I'm not comparing them to Fleur and tamera - before anyone wants to pipe up!

when Whitney and Mariah covered when you believe Whitney came out on top with power but Mariah hit higher notes - that is my point - tamera might have a louder voice than Fleur but guaranteed Fleur would hit higher notes and hold them longer.....she also would stay in in tune.

We all have different perceptions of what a good voice is - I haven't heard tamera sing a single song since she left XF - she hasn't gigged she hasn't put covers up - she could be building a fanbase but she isn't - therefore to me she needs a better work ethic because there are plenty of things she could be doing to work at it besides sitting in a studio letting the producers and songwriters do all the work

Honestly you Fleur bias and 'stanness' comes out in moments like the bolded which makes me not take what you say seriously.

I like both Fleur and Tamera, but wouldn't really class myself as a fan therefore I think I can be subjective, you have your East shades on by the looks of things when you take digs at Tamera because I have favorably compared her with Fleur.

One, Tamera can't just do what she likes when she is signed to Syco, she might not be allowed to upload covers etc, and I didn't see Fleur upload covers while she recorded her albums. They may even have the same strategy they took with Leona, completely disappear from the public eye and then launch her with a new look and sound, as it can have more impact.

Secondly, how they hell do you know what she is doing in the studio? She might be heavily involved in all aspects of the song making, so you have just really shown yourself up here with that comment.

We can't judge her work ethic until the time comes and she is releasing music, as its unfair to just presume thing when we know nothing.

Until we see how Tamera has developed under the guidance of such people as Naughty Boy, it is impossible to make a judgement on her. We just have to wait and see.

Fleur didn't need to do that whilst she recorded her album - she was runner up and she was kept in public eye she also had her.l lipsy range whilst she was recording haven't got my Fleur blinkers on I like tamera but she isn't this amazing vocalist she's being made out to be she's good though

Well syco don't have her best interests at heart of the aren't allowing her to gig or whatnot it's a waste of potential as that's how you get better and learn hence why Fleur became an brilliant performer because she was able to develop that

Thank you, how people can make judgements when we know nothing at all is crazy to me.

Tamera had bad press and the public didn't warm to her, her disappearing completely is the best thing that could have happened, it allows the press and public to forget their unfair dislike of her and gives her a chance to launch afresh.

Again another unsubstantiated comment, you don't know Syco's intentions and why things are taking so long, they might not feel she is ready yet and are really giving her time and space to grow. We can judge properly once they launch her and see what they have done with her.

Dave it's been 3 years!!! Sorry if I'm a bit pessimistic about the fact they haven't been able
To cook a decent hit in that time! Look at imani she's 16 years old and jumped on collaborations which is best thing to do on development deals to build a fanbase - I'm surprised people are still checkin on tamera

I think he's a bit old news these days tbh which is maybe why he's now working with Tamera. Aside from Twitter feuds with Zayn Malik, he doesn't seem to have done very much in the last year or so.

But seeing as his biggest hit had the deep and meaningful chorus La la, la la la la la na na na na na,La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na La la, la la la la la na na na na na,
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na the maybe he's a good person to work with Tamera as even she can remember those lyrics, surely?

I think as he has been working with the No selling album artist Emeli Sande tells youu all you need to know.

Not all developments deals work the same, it is tailored to the person and Tamera might be needing this time to find out who she is as an artist and performer.

Anyway I am done, its pointless.

Tamera is still only 18 as well, so has plenty of time on her side.

I think she's just excited that someone started a thread on Digital Spy about her
