Sonia takes the time to answer some of your questions.

Q: Hey Sonia! I've been a massive fan of yours since 'You'll Never Stop Me Loving You'. My question is when are we going to get a full Greatest Hits album from you?

A: I have a greatest hits album out at the moment with Song/BMG. If I do one including the PWL hits, this site will be the first to know!

Q: Do you have any plans to release any new recordings, compilation CD or another album?

A: I have no plans at the moment to release any new recording, however I will be featured on a new compilation CD called ‘The NO ones Project’ where I will record a cover version that has been a number one hit from another singer from Liverpool

Q: !My favourite song of yours is 'Better The Devil You Know'' that was picked for Eurovision. Which out of the eight songs did you like the most and were you pleased with the winning song?

A: I loved the song ‘Our World’, but ‘Better the devil you know’ was a better song for the Eurovision song contest.

Q: Reborn in the USA was a great TV show, now you have had time to think and reflect on the show, how do you feel about now?

A: I loved Reborn in the USA in the end, after all the fighting had gone! I loved visiting all the famous venues that we got to perform in eg. Old Oprey- Nashville that was a real high performing there!  

Q: What was your own favourite song from the show?

A: My favourite song that I performed on the show was ‘I can’t help falling in love with you’ which I performed in Memphis.

Q: How did you get on with all the other acts?

A: Everyone on the reborn tour were really nice and I got on well with all of them, except for YOU KNOW WHO!

Q: Looking back now, were your surprised at the amount of fan/public support you got during the show?

A: The support I got was great, thank you so much to everyone who voted for me and supported me when I was in the show! XXXX

Q: Hi Sonia now you probably get asked this a lot but have you considered entering 'a Song For Europe' again, I'm sure you'd win it with a great catchy poptrack and it would be great to see you up there on thes tage representing the country again? lots of love will

A: Coming second in the Eurovision song contest was great, first would have been better hahahah! I don’t think now that I would do it again as the voting seems to be even more political and regional now, rather than picking the best song!

Q: HiYa, Many Artists now make available tracks to buy on the Internet, would you consider making any of your unreleased tracks available online for fans? We love your voice and want to hear your songs! (Pete)

A: Regarding putting my unreleased tracks for online for downloads, this is something that I will have to look into.

Q: Emma C - What are your thoughts on Mike, Matt and Pete reforming Stock Akien & Waterman? If the opportunity was there, would you work with them again?

A: In this business you never say no to anything, everything is possible. I have worked with many great producers and would work with any of them again.

Q: Have you heard Nuage and the Yound Divas versions of ‘you’ll never stop me loving you?

A: I think that’s it’s a great compliment when another artist covers your song, although I have not heard any of them yet. I will have to make time to listen to them soon.H

Q: Have you ever thought about doing a remix of ‘You’ll never stop me loving you’

A: I have never thought of doing a remix, there were a few out when I released it.
