Forthcoming Album
Oh, good god! I thought this kind of thing was all over once Fame Academy’sAlex Parks failed to make the top slot.
Michelle, will you please give it into your tiny face… er, I mean mind, thatthis is not the start of a progressing career in the music industry. It isguaranteed that within a year your subsequent singles will flop, your impendingalbum will not sell outside your own family, and you’ll be back to yourKaraoke Class with your brash stupid voice!
