i can just listen to this smokey katy perry cover by rebecca on repeat for hours. the x factor uk alum is definitely coming into her own these days and this performance shows her confidence with both her stage presence and doing other people's hit material. love her!

class act rebecca ferguson returns with the wonderful 1st single off her upcoming sophomore album 'freedom'. though many are speculating that the song is about her ex zayn malik from 1D, the real story should be how haunting (with a tinge of sadness) her voice can be; perfect for a song like this!

WONGIE SOUL SONG OF THE WEEK: rebecca ferguson - too good to lose / too good to lose (seamus haji remix)
