Yeah it did and it sold 1.5 million copies worldwide but it could have done far better with better management. Syco were lucky that Leona has a huge fanbase.

 

The fact that 'Perfect Stranger' and 'Scene of the Crime' didn't make the album still annoys me.

 

Anyway, Alex even said herself the video is going to drop very soon. At the end of June she filmed it and tweeted that it's going straight in for editing. Two weeks later...

 

Yeah, i love Scene of the crime.

 

i think we will see the video in the next week, well i hope. :D

Leona flopped because she has no versatility and people were getting bored of the same old same old she was releasing the whole time. Syco are learning from Leona's mistakes to make Alex a better success by the looks of it, showing Alex's versatility etc.

 

Only mistake I can think of was choosing Broken Heels as a 2nd single which was very similar to Bad Boys when they should have went with The Silence or Overcome instead but Broken Heels did sell 250k (I think?) in anycase. Had The Silence been 2nd single it would have been #1, it's far too late to release it now though

I think the single releases should have been Bad Boys and The Silence before the release of Overcome followed by Broken Heels and ANL.Broken Heels has sold about 280k which is good and pushed sales of Overcome but the song is just mediocre.I think The Silence is such a fan favorite plus Alex needs to release at least one ballad that it would be a waste of such a good sng to not release it to close the Overcome era.

It is not just Syco to blame for what has happened to Leona she has a US deal with J so what have they been doing to push her songs in the US.I do not think she is boring but Happy was such a poor choice of lead single.

*resisting urge to bitch slap*

 

Just watch her tour performances on Youtube then you will realise your ignorance.

It wouldn't have even gone top 10. Quality doesn't always = commercial success. Just look at 'Happy' despite actually being a hit in the UK and a few other places around the world.

 

The releases have been pretty good this era for Alex.

It's heavily speculated that J never liked the pop/rock direction of Echo and more or less abandoned the project after one lead single. Thankfully, Larry Jackson (vice president of J) went to see Leona on tour so I think the third album era will be better.

Broken Heels mediocre? :blink: It is Alex's best song for me by quite a mile. I wouldn't expect an Alex fan to call Broken Heels mediocre ever TBH, and I agree the era has been spot on for Alex, the sales reflect it there is no need to get petty now because nothing has went wrong...

 

And I agree on the point someone made that The Silence should not be released, we need a new ballad to be a single not an old one.

Sorry I just do not like Leona at all! She bores the living hell out of me, and her fans annoy me so much when they always go on about how Alex is a demo version of her cause Alex unlike Leona can actually come close to challenging the likes of Janet and Ciara when it comes to dancing. Leona only has like one decent uptempo song Outta My Head, there is no denying the fact that she lacks versatility. Alex has a just as good voice as Leona the difference is Alex has personality, a naughty fun side, she kicks ass at dancing and her music videos are brill. Leona always has to be associated with Alex it is so annoying :rolleyes: Leona fans just need to accept that there is another more talented X Factor winner in the limelight now. End of !

OMG i really cant wait for Alex's tour, its going to be amazing. :)

Me too! :) Has a tour been confirmed? Or is Alex only touring after the sophomore album like Leona? Her tour will be so insane, I will even be able to be her back up dancer if I was lucky :lol: I know like most of her dance routines off by heart. The Broken Heels one took me ages to learn though but is by far my fave, probably why I like the song best <3

We were only comparing the two because they are on the same record label. <_<

 

I love both Leona and Alex so don't even think I think that Alex is a "demo version" of Leona.

 

Leona isn't a dancer but that doesn't mean she's not versatile. Why don't you ACTUALLY WATCH HER TOUR ON YOUTUBE?

 

And on a completely objective level, Leona is actually a better technical singer than Alex but Alex is a better dancer. Obviously you'd be biased considering that post.

 

Oh and being humble and down-to-earth doesn't mean she doesn't have a personality. :rolleyes: I'm sick of ignorant naive people saying that.

 

If you want Leona fans to be nice to Alex yet post rubbish like that, then you're a fool. No offence intended.

Lets be nice people, I am sure no one means to cause offence.Broken Heels is just the only Alex release that I dont listen to at all these days.I would never be petty about what Alex has acheived she is by far my fav UK singer.She has had a great run and I am totally supportive but Syco have made some mistakes.

Sorry I CBA in YouTubing an artist I really dislike,it is just my opinion and I am just annoyed how Leona and Alex must be inter-related in every discussion when they are very different and when IMO Alex is much more talented,this thread is supposed to be about Alex and now Leona fans some how manage to bring Leona into the picture and then we have people moaning about Happy and Echo in an Alexandra Burke thread :rolleyes:

And I CBA to argue with someone who clearly is narrow-minded and won't take someone's advice because it might contradict their ignorant views. -_-

 

Why don't you read all the recent posts because then you will realise why Leona was brought up? And I'm a Leona AND Alex fan - not some Leona fan invading this thread.

 

I actually agree that Leona and Alex shouldn't be compared artistically. I hate it when people call Alex a second rate Leona and I also hate it when people say Leona is boring/dull/a one trick pony. They were compared only because they are label mates.

BH is my fav Alex song too, though Start Without You is creeping up on it :o I'm not a big ballad fan but have you heard the Almighty remix of The Silence? It's EPIC :wub:
