George Sampson: Single flop was down to bad timing

Breakdancer says bosses should have released DVD first

Tuesday, 6 January 2009

George Sampson is convinced his debut single bombed because it was released too soon.

His double A-side record Get Up On The Dance Floor/Headz Up only reached No 30 when it was released in November.

But the Britain’s Got Talent winner's documentary Access 2 All Areas later topped the DVD chart. 

‘It was purely based on the timing, which was wrong,’ George explains.

‘We should have done the DVD first to get the visual and let everyone see the new routine on the Royal Variety Show, then brought out the single.’

And George, 15, also has some word of advice for reality show singer Leon Jackson.

‘He left it too long [after winning The X Factor],’ he tells the Daily Star Sunday. ‘People forget about you after a year, he needed to move quicker.’

Yeah, keep telling yourself that, George. I think the main problem with the single is the fact that he can't actually sing. (Just an idea)
