Where's she gone to? I only heard Sax and that was pretty much the only thing I saw on The X Factor for a whole season and now it's nowhere to be heard.

Is she coming back with another woodwind-instrument-related single soon?

Yep her new single "Didgeridoo ft. Steve Brookstein" is about to hit the radio. The world ain't ready.

Let's hope the song she sings features the instrument she's singing about. Syco need to learn the difference between trumpets and saxophones I think.

I'm not sure it's a saxophone she's singing about.

Is "play that sax" a metaphor for oral sex?

She managed to go from interesting to annoying so quickly. I mean she did great on the show but then it seemed to go to her head overnight.

Mmmmmmm

I like her, she's hot and she can sing and dance a bit....just needs another hit song. I'm surprised it hasn't been forthcoming. Has she been supplanted by the rather bland, Louisa?

All jokes aside, I do think she's been wasted. She's not the best singer ever but she had the potential to be a decent little pop star with the right material.
Its dragged on too long now and she seems to be just another on the long list of XF one hit wonders

The strange thing is she was hooked up with the best people in the industry. I just think they pushed too hard for Sax and it was all a bit too bright and poppy. I think she's one where you love or hate her. I don't hate her at all. But I think she's become such a joke (not because of her) that, even though she can sing pretty well, no one will take her seriously.

Actually you're all wrong

She's working with better more current producers this time around Naugty boy, MNEK, stargate, dj freedo, Sam Romans, Mojam, Talay Riley, Craig David producer tre Jean Marie, and the people behind sax are also involved and she's using tracks from darkchild and baby face that she saved she's also done some collaborations. She's also been writing with some of adeles team love her or hate her syco are still very much behind Fleur but they ain't rushing her like Ella has just finished her second album and that took a long time

They are doing all of this next year and her album isn't being released after one single she's also doing more promo abroad within the month unsure where she's also probably touring Aswell

They are also changing direction music wise, it's clear the retro sound didn't really suit Fleur but then they just decided to close the book on LSAF without even bothering to test another single like gold watch or kitchen which had potential.

SOTMX is a better song and Little Mix have a better range of songs.
Fleur should tour with them and they could perform Sax together?

They did perform together on the show. Maybe an option when LM have finished supporting AG.

Sax is a good song though it's very dance pop but it's still very uptempo and the energy she gives when it's live is amazing it goes off live! It's also not the best song on the album - I don't agree SOTME is a better song apart from the relevance it's really not as good as black magic Wings or move - Fleur works with more American producers than little mix do their music is completely different

To me it fell apart after Sax. It just sounded a bit cheap to me and to much of a piggyback on Uptown Funk. But she seems really nice.

She is nice and yeah that's why Fleur and syco have gone in a new direction music wise to get away from uptown funk sound - it was just her debut to get her on the ladder - this new music is nothing like it!

Love sax and flashbacks was recorded with choreography and live performances in mind because that is what Fleur is about - when you hear the songs in a live setting they go off - in my opinion the best she performed any of them was at V festival with the live band where they sounded brilliant like when she did live lounge - they need to be careful with the production because the studio versions can sound cheap on some of the songs but live they are brilliant - but I've heard some of the new material snippets and they sound so fresh

I know I take the piss out of Fleur a fair bit on this forum, but I just want to say I do like her and Sax is a decent song. I have nothing against her at all, just having a bit of fun with all the Sax jokes.

I liked Fleur on XF but it has become embarrassing how the only song she ever performs now is SAX. The ship has definitely sailed, time to bring something new and fresh. Her first album was awful, I remember one song she sang called Breakfast or whatever... it was soo terrible. This girl needs new material or else she'll be a one hit wonder.

Wrong again

Any where she goes performance wise she sings 5/6 songs from her album it's not embarrassing either sax was and is a big hit for her it's no surprises she still performs it like a lot of artists perform all their songs and Fleur is a new artist she's been out a year and whilst she should've released another single they decided to do completely new stuff instead y'all think you know what she's doing but you don't coz you don't follow her so why would you know what she was up to
