The same can be said for most artists of the past 10 years.

Sorry, didn't realise I had to put every other artist of the past 10 years in brackets in a thread solely about Alexandra Burke.

My bad.

Although she has had a few flops to call her a one hit wonder is just factually incorrect.

She had 3 number one singles for a start...

I don't like Alexandra Burke but Hallelujah is clearly a hit regardless if it is a cover. It is one of the UK biggest selling singles by a female artist ever

[Marsh.]

Is it a hit because of her or because the X Factor machine was at its Christmas No. 1 peak?

So you're admitting she had another hit and so shes not a one hit wonder

I'm responding to what you wrote that it counts as a hit?

99% of X Factor acts struggle once the boost of the show itself ends. Even Leona Lewis struggled and she's arguably the most talented find they had.

I was originally responding to the fact you said she was a one hit wonder. I mentioned another hit she had [Hallelujah], and you responded to my post referring to the song as a hit [regardless if it is due to XF or Alexandra], therefore you've acknowledged what you originally said [about being a one hit wonder] was incorrect and proved yourself wrong

So... dodging the question.

A one hit wonder she remains. X Factor Christmas No. 1 doesn't count as Mr. Blobby could've sung it back then and it would've sold.

Just like Bleeding Love is really Leona Lewis' debut single, not the money making X Factor factory version of Kelly Clarkson's first single.

Hallelujah not being a hit because it was released at christmas

[Jase.]

All Night Long feat. Pitbull remains a bloody banger!

[Jordan.]

I only remember her doing All Night Long (solo version)

[Marsh.]

Well, that's not what was said, was it?

I said it's an X Factor hit, not really something that can be put on Burke's shoulders. X Factor and its popularity carried that number 1. Literally any of the final 12 could've released that.

Leon bloody Jackson got a number 1 the year before for goodness sake.

It's an Alexandra Burke hit.

Regardless if she got loads of promotion to sell the song from The X-Factor or not, that's completely irrelevant, she is listed as the artist who sang the song and so its her hit, simple. It doesn't matter what means get a song to become a hit, a hit is a hit regardless. If you do not understand that then that is rather worrying.
