Who is paying for the top notch producers then? Surely she has a deal? I would say shit loads have already been spent on producers etc. so it is unlikely that there will be no material released at all. But I guess Vas has a point in that there has ben tonnes artists who have recorded and the material wasn't released.

However if Fascination had offered Nadine a solo deal, but Nadine and her people were holding out for bigger offers...surely if she was receving no offers for deals she would be running back to Fascination?

I think she's paying for them herself for now, which is amazing as it shows dedication and drive. Many other girls would just get cars, pads and clothes isntead. And if she signs with a label it will be a good investment as she will make the money back.

I think they have Fascination as the last resort, and if Fascination think Sophie and GCC are promising, I have faith in them working Nadine.

Re: Nadine Solo

the problem I think Nadine may have is not wanting to do much promotion and I think that could put companies off her.

Even Cheryl did lots of promotion, there's a very interesting article in the guardian about her marketing campaign for 3 words with interviews from Fascination managers and what not - http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2009/oct/25/cheryl-cole-new-album-label

it's basically saying that even cheryl being a huge star wasn't enough alone for her to do well

Peter Loraine, general manager at Fascination Records, the pop label behind the album and part of Universal, put it bluntly. "There is less money to spend these days and you have to make it go further," he said. "You have to be a lot more creative, with a lot fewer resources."

MySpace users got a live webchat while Bebo users made videos for a chance to interview the star. On Twitter, fans asked questions which Cole answered in a video on her website and MSN Messenger was given an exclusive video which became the site's most watched and commented on. "Cheryl really got her hands dirty. Lots of artists may not want to do this grassroots stuff, but she was totally committed to the job in hand," said Loraine.

The thing is I don't see Nadine wanting to do this kind of stuff and she doesn't have the boost of an X Factor performance either.

Re: Nadine Solo

There's a difference between promoting songs you sang on as a session-singer basically and songs you like/co-wrote and release under your own name...

Re: Nadine Solo

She does promote Girls Aloud music though, doesn't she? She just doesn't do non-music promo like the Ghosthunting or Passions shows. Also, she lives in the US so she's less likely to be photographed falling out of Boujis pissed.

Re: Nadine Solo

Exactly, she wants everything to be right, she wants Leona type attention (first album Leona) and she won't be satisfied with Fascination's SEB - type job. That's what's taking her so long I think.

That's my point exactly, I think Nadine will want to be known for her talent whereas Cheryl is fine being simply a brand and having great marketing.

There's obviously nothing wrong with Nadine wanting to be known for her talent - it's great, of course - however it's just a lot lot lot harder to launch and I can see record companies not being fully behind it, that's the problem.

Leona has always been as talented as she was, but was turned down by record companies. She only found success thanks to being launched in front of millions, something Nadine won't have the benefit of with her solo album

What makes you think Nadine wouldn't want to promote? I don't understand where you're getting this from.

I'm not saying she won't want to promote but that she won't want to promote in the way Fascination and other labels want/plan for her to be, based on what they did with Cheryl from that Guardian interview.

I can see her wanting to be taken seriously for her music, rather than for a brand or a name like Cheryl. I mean very little of Cheryl's promo actually involved her singing - with good reason! It was mostly her being herself in interviews, meet and greets and such

Haven't you read the Popjustice Forums revisionist history on The Life and Times of Nadine Coyle? She has never applied, performed or been a guest mentor on a primetime talent show, she's never lowered herself to having a chat with some tosser on a daytime TV sofa, she's never promoted a popular brand of chocolate bar and she CERTAINLY doesn't have her own line of fake-eyelashes.

No. Nadine spends her time writing 13th century Monastic chants and will appear only once following the release of her debut opus - and even then she will be covered in a shroud and have her own Popemobile.

Kelis self funded/begged producers for her amazing album Tasty.
Hopefully Nadine is doing the same and coming up with quality material.

This would be awesome in all sorts of ways.

I had a lot of respect for Nadine when she chose not to participate in some of the extraneous Girls Aloud 'projects', especially that ghost-hunting rubbish. Thank God there's one member of the group who knows a load of bollocks when she sees it. The others are so undiscerning in terms of what they'll do for money that I'm surprised none of them has offered to join Queen.

But choosing not to appear in TWO (count them - in fact one of those shows was a one-off) ITV2 series has been interpreted with wild inaccuracy as anything from 'she doesn't do shows for ITV1' to 'she wouldn't appear in an endorsement'. Both of which she has done.

Anyone that know sanything about A) Nadine, B) the promotion of pop music C) the relationship between pop artists and television media knows that is a huge heap of bollocks.

Re: Nadine Solo

I dont understand why people think she wouldnt have signed with fascination because they'd want her to promote.

Nadine has said many times that shes happy to promote the music, but isn't comfortable going down the endorsements and spin-offs route. There's no reason why she couldnt sign with fascination and promote through gigs and tv appearances to promote her music.

The mass media exposure is mainly down to cheryls managment and agent, not her record label.

Re: Nadine Solo

To make it easier:

Fascination is like an old boyfriend to Nadine, he's a good guy, tries hard, is a bit predictable, their relationship is good but a bit boring, but generally ok.

BUT Nadine is probably looking for a new boyfriend* that will marry her, is sexy, hot, rich, believes in her and will be there for her while letting her do what she wants to do.
