She's always had bad management. She could do with getting a new team that will do a better job of promoting her.

Diana Vickers woz robbed.

...in all seriousness though, Alexandra Burke has a technically great voice but she's bland as ****. She was on the show, and she has been since. I swear Hallelujah is one of the most hollow tracks ever released. A vapid, sucking void of a song.

One may say a perfect choice for such a girl.

Oh the song itself is fine when I've heard it sung by pretty much anyone else... it's specifically her version that's bad.

[Niamh.]

No doubt she has a great voice but I found her way too melodramatic and annoying on X Factor plus there's not much character to her voice, I like a bit of character in a singer

Exactly... she's no doubt quite well suited to musical theatre for that reason. In musical theatre the voice is an instrument in a larger show so it just has to be someone who can sing well live / has good control over their voice... the entertainment is that it's a whole show.

For releasing music singles and albums, especially as a solo artist, a great voice just isn't enough. The voice and the singer has to BE the show... so either the voice itself has to have something unique about it, or the person has to be charismatic and interesting in which case being a technically amazing singer doesn't even matter that much.

Ironically, that's the whole "X Factor" concept . She just doesn't have The X Factor, despite having a great voice.

Yeah agree. If you look at Liam Gallagher for example, he doesn't have a technically great voice but it's very unique and I just like the sound of it, he's also a very interesting individual to watch and listen to..........love or hate him

Aww bless her. I loved her on the x factor and she has a great voice she does doesn't come across as likeable to everyone and hasn't had a hit for a while but

Broken heels. Start without you. Bad Boys. All great songs!

[Amy Jade]

People dragging her like she didn't have a great start out with amazing songs like Bad Boys, Broken Heels and Start Without You. Yeah her last album was a flop but it's not like she's had some decent music for sure.

Which is bland. I don't think anyone has said anything personal about her, I'm sure she's a perfectly nice person but she's not an interesting act, it's soulless manufactured junk and her sales reflect that .
