LITTLE KNOW FACT:

She used to perform under the name imonet, described as:

liverpool singer, worked with t2, 7th heaven, yann kriss, billion dollar dj's recorded vocals for tinchy stryder, due to be working with bad boy records artist e-ness.

..and she provided vocals for a radio single by Trilogy Project: "Dance Upon The Ceiling"

So she was originally a dance singer? That's cool...proves that she wanted to do those big dance numbers and Cheryl was giving her the ballads every week.

I hope her debut album is a good mix of soul with a bit of dance too.
Her voice really suits both. I can't imagine them letting her make a dance album though.

^ Yeah, remember Cheryl mentioned it was Rebecca's idea to do "Show Me Love"? Her performance of the dance tunes are her best! "Sweet Dreams" is probably my favorite performance this year from the live shows.

I'm really excited for her debut album! I'll definitely buy it! I want some electro/dance tunes on it and of course some R&B/Soul a la Jazmine Sullivan/Amy Winehouse!

My favorite from the show. I'll definitely buy her album when it comes out!

by **UKMusicLova** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 12:50 pm

Could you imagine her doing something like "Babyfather" by Sade?
Something that can be played by radio but is so beautiful and soulful.

Did the studio version of her single leak at all?

by **irishguy28** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 2:22 pm

What I want to know is - when will she release her cover of Heather Small's "Proud"?

by **aaliyahman** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 7:52 pm

Can't wait to see what she comes out with.

by **steophonic** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 8:38 pm

I loved her dance stuff! I hope they go down that route - although I think that will probably be too risky for Cowell.

What's more likely is that he will try to get in on the Norah Jones/Duffy/Adele market with her.

(that's assuming she signs with Syco)

I would buy her album the 1st day on sale. Just love her voice.

I do hope that they gave her good songs though.

by **Eamon** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 10:24 pm

I listened to some of her peformances on itunes and she sounds so much better when you just listen to her voice without watching her live. She has a beautiful and unique voice. I definately think I would buy her album. It would be the first X Factor album I will have bought since Leonas debut.

She should so do a dance album, they were her best two performances along with "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" I don't want her to have an album full of ballads!

by **Eamon** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 12:36 am

Yeah dance would be great and have some ballads aswell. She was amazing singing Amazing Grace. But she would do herself no justice if she released a bland album full of ballads.

by **tennis1400** » Mon Dec 20, 2010 6:01 pm

I definitely could see her guesting on a Freemasons or Axwell track!!!

by **xtofer** » Fri Jan 21, 2011 11:16 am

She's officially signed to Epic now. 8-)

Olly Murs and JLS are her label mates.. so she's in good hands!

No, not at all.

Steve Mac as said he who he his going to be working with this year, now back in recording with Subo, then Rebecca and doing a few tracks for Leona's new album.

She better not do a covers album. I heard she was doing songs like Corinne/Duffy.

by **UKMusicLova** » Fri Jan 21, 2011 7:35 pm

I can't imagine her doing a covers album. They kept saying that she would be the "international star" of the show and with covers it's not going to happen.

I definitely think Corinne/Adele-esque material with maybe a couple of dance numbers would be a good move for her.

I guess we can cross out the "cover album" rumour...
