Why Does Alexandra Burke Feel The Need To Have Rappers In Her Songs?

[Patrick]

Goodnight Goodmorning, Bad Boys, Start Without You and All Night Long.

Can this girl seriously not perform by herself?

She needs to get black rappers [With the exception of Pitbull] to sing with her.

Broken Heels and Hallelujah are an exception, and two great songs.

[Jords]

All Night Long on her album is just her, and is much better than with feat. Pitbull

[Harry!]

To sell her records better...

[Patrick]

It's quite sad then that she needs to sing with random rappers to sell more records.

i thought simon wanted these rappers in her song not alexandra?

[Shaun]

It's mostly to generate interest. Somehow these rappers have fans (I know :conf2: fans of Pitbull...) so it's more likely going to draw in extra people.

But musically of course, they add absolutely nothing. A few generic lines about being the man, loving shawties, wearing designer clothes and being bereft to society.

[Stacey.]

I really wish she didn't D:

It sorta ruins the song..

[Locke.]

Probably for a few extra sales once she releases them in the US

[Jordan.]

Because shes some wannabe ghetto mess.

[Vicky.]

Because shes some wannabe ghetto mess.

When coupled with your signature...that comment is so ironic :p

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

*wishes overcome had been released instead of all night long*

[Zippy]

Its kind of a credibility thing and a link to other artist's fanbases. Its extremely common in America especially amongst the hip hop/Rnb fraternity. Theyre just feeding off each others fame and tapping new markets(the Bieber tweeny market for instance).

Theyre not essential but I dont find Flo Ridas rappy bits too intrusive.

[Ramsay]

cus she ghetto

[Zippy]

cus she ghetto

dat right. y'knowzit.

[Z]

All about building a name for herself; if she doesn't do it now then she'll fade into obscurity.

[Jamietwo]

rappers = padding. used to be cool about 15 years ago

[Adamw92]

Well it's not like she can flash amazing abs to get #1 like JLS do...

[Rawrbear]

I know on her album she dont sing with Pitbull and it's much much better
she's my fave winner in her new song Silence i dont think she has a rapper :)
