I'm sorry but nearly all of them record on the same day and then mime. Just because you don't notice it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Oi! I searched on Silence of the Sax-I-mean-Lambs because of your reference, as you well know

You don't have to like someone to be obsessed with them
You and Jeref always seem to be the among the first people to post when it comes to Fleur, him as a fan, you as a detractor. It's been that way since 2014, since I first joined the forum. So if she did turn up on the show this year, I'm sure you'll be quick to mention it

True she hasn't got the chops like Alex.
I always thought Fleur was a inferior copy of Janet Jackson.
She has one hit and she leaving it too late.
If Fleur were to do something outside of commercial music, I think she could work very well as a dancer, as I think that was where her main strengths lay (even though I did like her voice). Alexandra Burke did the Bodyguard, and obviously that would be too much for Fleur vocally, but I could still see her performing on the west end. She seems to be focusing on new material at the moment. Whether anything successful comes of it remains to be seen, but I think Syco will at least attempt another launch of her career, probably around BGT time for the obvious promo slot.
Why would Fleur want to go west end when she's a good enough popstar and still signed? She will get a proper album campaign this time shel be fine - it's not her fault syco cancelled her single in order for fresh material - people forget it's harder to break out on your first go these days especially with streaming and the way the industry is she's still charted higher an sold more records in her first era than Louisa Johnson the new winner 3 singles put together! She's spent this year recording promo abroad and doing loads of gigs where her voice has got better and she reaches up to the 3rd octave so where has she not got a good enough voice?
Fleur won't go west end if music doesn't work out she said she will get into film or tv as she likes acting - she also will always have work and if syco don't want her I'm sure someone else will there are plenty of record labels out there.

Rachel Adedeji has done well in West End musicals, and of course now has leading role in Hollyoaks. Shows what can be achieved as Rachel only lasted a few weeks in the live finals.

I listened to Fleur's album and there were a couple of other songs that could have been at least minor hits. I hope she isn't a one hit wonder. She was outstanding as a fifth member of Little Mix. If the Sugababes were still going that would have suited her.

I think she is doing the right thing. Looking forward to hearing the new sound.
I would like some new music from Fleur but this whole scrapping her last album campaign and going in a new direction is really messy. They should have at least released one other single from the album. My concern is Syco don't know what to do with her when it should be fairly straightforward.

This is the problem with SYCO I am afraid. They struggle with any type of act that is not a boy or girl band.
It is fairly straightforward they wanted a current sound from her so they decided to have her do new material it's fairly simple it happens all the time wit artists

She be lucky to do west end. She has had one hit. One year later no hit single. She will struggle to get another deal.
She prob be dropped the amount of promotion and asda airplay she received and one hit single does not justify the amount of money syco invested in her.
I don't understand why there haven't been any more single releases, even additional tracks for platinum edition. How come Sax didn't make it in the states when big shows were playing it?
Kitchen - should have been second single. Paris - 3rd single.

She hasn't been dropped yet, so Syco obviously still have some belief. She probably would struggle to find a deal outside of Syco, especially as ex X Factor contestants are so ten a penny these days.

1 - you don't know how much money syco put in to the album
2 - she's sold over a million sales worldwide that doesn't include money made off the album
3 - she hasn't toured yet - that's where syco will get their money, she said she will be touring next year
4 - if syco were that pissed off with her only having 1 single which was their decision because they could've quite easily released other material off the album if they really wanted to - they would've dropped her by now instead they took charge and made her make new material and go in a new direction
5 - none of us really know what is going on behind the scenes other than the obvious
6 - shel be fine no matter what happens, we don't know who's watched Fleur record label wise she is always received well when she does shows there's talent scouts everywhere
7 - we don't know how much interest was in Fleur from the start because Simon snapped her up straight away

They released two more and she even did promo for them on The Today Show, Lorraine and the National Television Awards. One didn't chart and the other was a smash hit at #168. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur_East_discography
