Default Is Leona going to eventually flop?
Basically if she can only get number 2 after an X Factor performance and selling about half of the copies of her first album, that isn't good? I mean I know it got to number 1 etc but that was always going to happen. And because she does ballad after ballad, and her uptempo songs don't work, will her bubble shortly burst?

She's doing as well as a normal high profile artist I think, her second album was never gonna do as well as her debut album, few artists' do.

It probably didn't help that she released a big slow ballad next to a BEP song. As long as her album sales keep up she'll be fine.

As for the future, I dunno. She'll have to mix things up eventually instead of sticking to the ballads.

I'd say yeah, I can't see her changing her style and I think sooner or later people will get bored of the ballads...

well she's releasing quite an uptempo number next so lets see how she does with that. Even if her star fades here, i still think she'll do comfortably in the US if marketed correctly.

Your right. GaGa is more interesting currently than Madonna has been since about 1992.

Huh? That was the Erotica/Sex Book era. She was exiting in the 90's with the Ray Of Light and still interesting with all her other progects this decade.

Madonna has many albums yet and I think they will be very good. Just wait and see.

I don't even know what era it was, I was just throwing darts at a calender kid. IMO she has not been interesting in nearly twenty years.

Yeah you're both kind of missing the point. If she can only get to number 2 by performing on the show that made her, when another band performed and outsold her, then without XF how well would it have done?

Alexandra, Cheryl and JLS are ultimately XF products and got to number 1, yet the supposed biggest star to come out of the show is the worst performing.

Never will be a performer of any kind - will never get to present anything - as people kept claiming. Complete pillock!

Then why the puzzling and needless comparison between the two? He finds Marcus entertaining. Many people do.

It's more to do with the song then her I think, 'Meet me halfway's catchy as hell. If she released a catchier track she'd have got it I think. the reason why she didn't win over BEP while the other XF products did was because they had the catchier song each time.

I do think she'll flop in time but I don't think it'll be the end of her, She'll pull a Mariah Carey I think. She's got 1 or 2 albums left in her with her current style but she'll have to mix it up soon.

The song "HAPPY" is a bit boring. Bleeding love was allright, better in time and footprints in the sand were quite good. I think people like her but there are not many strong passionate fans who support her..

#2 isn't that much of a flop considering it was REALLY close between the two. She sold about 70k that week, so that's good. (remembering that most singles only need about 25k to go top 5 these days)

Most artists who have a really huge first album don't really tend to match their success with their second. Tbf Happy isn't as instant as Bleeding Love. Even with Mariah, her first album was really huge, then when she released her second album so soon after it failed to match the success. Then she did a third album and gave us Hero, Without You and had one of the biggest selling albums of all time with it.
