December 21, 200816 yr But people didn't HAVE to buy the songs that were used on X Factor or used in Campaigns if they didn't want too! ;) Yeah I had this argument with Tom on MSn so I don't really want to start it again. but lets be honest, X Factor is a bigger promotion tool (a lot of people watching it, cheering for their faves) than a simple advert or radio play for a song, so it is (yes) a bit manipulated.
December 21, 200816 yr There was no need for her to be in shock. So, will we still hear from her in a couple of years? Time will tell, but the odds are against her.
December 21, 200816 yr Who wants to bet Alexandra's album will outsell LeLe's album by next year? :rolleyes: LOL never!
December 21, 200816 yr CHRISTMAS NUMBER 1! 1 Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah [P] *1st week at #1* http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/XFACTWIN08.JPG Chart Run: 1 [1 wk] Release date: 17-12-2008 Format: CDS Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: 88697446252 Label: BMG Video here: Yo4imShE8KM track listing 1. Hallelujah 2. Candyman 3. Without You Chart history (Year peak title): 2008 01 Hallelujah Discussion Thread Here http://www.santashelpers.com.au/images/large/Snowman%20and%20Tree.jpg Well nothing against the singer but this version of Hallelujah is so bad that I muted the volume of it. Well anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
December 21, 200816 yr I'm a bit disappointed considering it means that Alexandra will replace Jamelia, Beverley Knight, and Alesha Dixon as the face of UK R&B.* :rolleyes: *Yes, I know. :lol: I agree as a Brit I feel very embarrassed that Alexandra is being so hyped, especially when you compare her to the fantastic new US female R'N'B singer Jazmine Sullivan who vocally blows Alexandra out of the water in a similar way that Justin Timberlake blows Shayne Ward out the water.

Like Top of the Pops (especially in the heyday) was a promotional tool, like GMTV is a promotional tool, like music channels are a promotional tool - do you know what - lets ban all music being played so the system is fair Edited December 21, 200816 yr by Knightr634
December 21, 200816 yr I think she's so genuine, its really nice. I agree! She's like one of us....watching EastEnders!! LOL Leona didnt have as much personality as Alex.
December 21, 200816 yr That Jeff Buckley version nearly put me to sleep. Nice but dull. I hope your high.
