December 6, 200816 yr Author Also the break between the live show and the results show was only 30 mins than the usual 60 minutes, I reckon a lot of votes were lost.
December 6, 200816 yr WHAT? You're boycotting Alexandra just because she's sung backing vocals on the show in past? It's all very well trying to take the moral highground but you're SO inconsistent; throughout the course of this show you've claimed it was a fix for Diana to win. Stick to a story... Bollocks Mate. I said all along that Simon Cowell was setting up Diana for a fall. The very well known fact he hates David Bowie, Kate Bush & Bjork is proof of that. He only liked her initially because she was clearly popular with the phone votes and the number of views on Youtube, etc. Simon Cowell has consistently proven throughout his career that he could not spot talent if it bit him on the backside (dropping Kylie, rejecting the unsigned The Spice Girls, failing to take up the option of signing Robbie Williams post Take That, etc), but he knows how to make money from music from novelty tat like Robson & Jerome, WWF, Zig & Zag, the Teletubbies, etc.
December 6, 200816 yr Alexandra is there on talent and merit, she has been consistently brilliant through the series, she deserves to win, she could be the British Anita Baker but of course Eoghan will walk it I wouldn't be so sure, she topped the voting last week and is favourite to win now. I wouldn't be at all suprised if she were to win. That said I'll probably be proved wrong with the dire Eoghan winning. :(
December 6, 200816 yr Alexandra soooooooooooooooooooooooo reminds me of Leona, i expect her to win :P She even looks like her :lol: She doesn't look or sound like her in my opinion. Leona is better. While she's my favourite left there seems to be something lacking with her. She just doesn't have the power that Leona or even (more appropriately) Jennifer Hudson has. Sure, no one ever said that was a requirement for a female singer but it's the type of artist she's trying to be but she doesn't match up to them.

That said I'll probably be proved wrong with the dire Eoghan winning. :( Hope you are right, just after Leon last year and the absurd voting off of Ruth my confidence in the British public is not very high so I am expecting a Eoghan victory and if Alexandra wins it will be an added bonus
December 6, 200816 yr Author The winning soing is definitely Hallelujah, the video has been recorded and featured now on the Xtra factor.

(If you get what I mean :lol:)

Alexandra is not on Leona's level as a singer but then again bar Christina Aguilera probably nobody out there is but Alexandra won't be Leona MkII she is a soul singer whereas Leona is more r+b, nearest I would compare Alexandra with is Anita Baker, really think she would nail Sweet Love and Rapture etc, Leona and Alexandra are completely different singers
December 6, 200816 yr Her voice is one tone. (If you get what I mean :lol:) yes, you mean monotonus :kink: Im surprised Craig would even contemplate Alex winning tbh ;o

That's quite a contradiction... I understand though TiP. Simon obviously wanted the public favourite out. On top of this he is EVIL for getting behind the best vocalist in the contest. Practically Stalin pt.2. Simon for the death penalty!
December 6, 200816 yr Poor Diana, really didnt deserve to go this night of all night. White Flag was definatly one of her best performances.
December 6, 200816 yr yes, you mean monotonus :kink: Im surprised Craig would even contemplate Alex winning tbh ;o LMAO are you suggesting I would not want Alex to win because she is black ? :unsure: :rofl: :wacko: You clearly haven't seen my record collection mate, tons of black artists, Luther Vandross, Anita Baker, Janet Jackson, Dionne Warwick, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin to name but a few, a good 20-30% of my collection is black artists
December 6, 200816 yr OMG first the holocaust and now this :( This is the present equivelent of the holocaust :lol: We must sit through Oghan AND Jls in a final :manson: My ideal final would have been: Rachel, Girlband, Alexandra

Her choices have been getting better recently but with her being given Mariah and Whitney songs earlier in the series like Leona got, the comparisons happen and she's just not as good. I'd love to hear her do a Beverley Knight song next week. (I can only dream :lol:)
