Joe McElderry - Someone Wake Me Up

[tammyy2j]

Joe McElderry has confirmed 'Someone Wake Me Up' as the next release from his debut album.

The track is produced by Ray Hedges and Nigel Butler, who have previously worked with Take That. The pair also produced 'Ambitions'.

"It's really exciting," McElderry told Digital Spy of the single choice. "It's a bit of a different twist."

He added that he is "not sure" when the track will be released, saying: "We're waiting to see what's going to happen, in that sense."

I find it ironic he named his album this as he is so boring and puts me to sleep

As soon as Matt wins next months we'll won't have to suffer Joe anymore.

Joe McElderry has been dropped from Simon Cowell's record label, it has been reported.

The 19-year-old singer, who won The X Factor just 16 months ago, was moved into a plush apartment in an exclusive area of West London last year. Now, has been forced to move back in with his mother in her terrace home in Tyneside.

A friend of the star's told reporters: "Joe is devastated. His mum has been comforting him. He believed he could have a great music career. Although he is still on Syco's books, his deal runs out in about a month and it won't be renewed."

It is thought that poor sales and a lack lustre start to his career after The X Factor - including missing out on the Christmas No.1 to Rage Against The Machine- is the reason the star was dumped by Syco.
During his time in the competition, Cowell hailed the young hopeful as a major new talent and said he wanted to take him to Hollywood to be 'the new Zac Efron'. McElderry was mentored by Cheryl Cole in the peak of her own popularity, and subsequently became the viewer's favourite contestant.

Now, the performing arts student has been told that his record deal is not being renewed.
