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

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

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

It's mostly to generate interest. Somehow these rappers have fans (I know 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.

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.

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