Her popularity doesn't seem to have spread to the UK despite her recent success with latest movie Dreamgirls, which bagged her a Golden Globe nomination.

The 25-year-old was also recently voted most desirable woman of 2007 by the AskMen.com website.

The star is scheduled to play five dates across the country in June, but demand for the concerts has not been high.

It has beeen blamed on the poor reception for her second solo album B-Day, which failed to match the massive success of her debut release.
