I have really grown to dislike Alexandra since she won XF. She seems really arrogant and cocky IMO.

i dont think shes cocky or arrogant,i just think her feet have been completely swept of the ground.Leona,Shayne & Leon always kept their feet on the ground.

She is just excited, i mean, imagine winning a 1 million pound recording contract, having Xmas number 1, Most downloads ever and being nominated for a Brit. I would be extatic

I know, i Love it! She looks stunning. That was when she was at her home tour, just before the final of the X factor

Fom 03-02-2009 06:57 PM

how the frig was she nominated for a brit?!
I like Alex... but seriously?! I think X factor songs should be banned from award shows.

It is a great song though, with amazing Vocals. Much better than Jeff Buckley, in terms of my taste.

Yeh but people spend so long on writing and recording songs... she won a show and sang it in the studio. She managed to finish the song in a week... if she wins, then pop music has officially become heartless.

To be fair, I do agree, all she has done is sung the song. But then again, lots of pop artists get lyricists and producers to get lyrics for their songs, so is she in the same boat as a lot of others. Vocally, Alexandra wins, But Jeff did write the beautiful song and deserves some credit for the stunning arrangement

^ Jeff Buckley didn't write it, Leonard Cohen did.
tbh, if it wasn't for Jeff Buckley, then the song wouldn't have been so popular as other artists like Rufus Wainwright wouldn't have covered it, and it'd have never been the winners single, hence Alexandra would have been shoved with something like 'Flying Without Wings' or 'Born to Try' lmfao.

I voted someone else...

I didnt really like the song with her singing it and there is other songs that are better.

I voted for Leona. As much as i love Alex, Leona is in a different league

xDramatick 05-02-2009 03:31 PM

I voted for Adele :]
Unique ftw.

It was either her or Estelle but I had no reason to vote for Estelle other than Sam Sparro covering the song :\
If I'm honest, Alex would've been the second last person I'd have voted for.

I do like Adele, but i tend to go quite mainstream, which is why i went for Leona.

James 08-02-2009 01:26 PM

Alexandra has been knocked out of the Best Single category for the BRITs... thankfully. -runs away-

-runs back-

Alexandra Burke - The Man For Me.

It's a song she recorded prior to The X-Factor!
I don't like it but I thought I'd post it anyway for y'all!
Leona recorded 2 albums before XF so there could be more tracks.

Lewis. 16-02-2009 09:32 AM

Oh my god! How could you not like it? I think it is brilliant! I am so putting it on my I-pod. Shame she has been knocked out! Cannot wait for her album now! If that is her recording voice then i am so going to get the album, she is stunning!

M X 16-02-2009 10:48 AM

Only 10 more days until I see Alexandra live!!! :hello:!!
