    That rehearsal video proves that she didn't mime that performance as some people tried to say...she had minimal backing vocals tbh...

    I wonder what that guitar track was that came on straight after??? A possible album track?

    Maybe....but it was flawless, I hate the BBC cameramen, they always move the shots to the crowd in choreo performances, they did it for Bey at glasto on END OF TIME :eek: and at the bloody dance break! :sleep: Not here for that mess ;) If Alex took that performance globally she'd smash. We do know what we mean when we say she's better than Bey. Bey is good but Alex can move better IMO, Bey just has lots of practice.

    No It's Let It Go :)

    and that's good, it'll create a buzz for the single :) Not many people have heard it.

    According to DS, Alexandra is co-hosting the JLS tour, so it'll be a joint tour :D

    Woah...if she's got a slot on that then hopefully her chances of getting on the UK version have gone way way up...fingers crossed...the UK version has high ratings so it would be perfect...:D

    That would be the type of killer promo that could get Let It Go close to #1 :D

    Oh btw that person who was talking about the Usher and Alex duet in the last ABAT PART 7 - He was right, Usher's 2nd single is very dancey so I'm beginning to believe it more and more.

    I heard it....but I'm not sure Usher's next single will be an uptempo...HOWEVER...his sound is also very 90s even the new single which totally matches up with what Alexandra is doing...:D

    I'd love for AB to do a video that focused soley on her dancing like a Janet "Miss Jackson if ur nasty" or a ciara video. She really is a great dancer.
    Check out Sean Bankhead really cool choreographer.
    Alex or any of ur ppl scrolling the thread nab him please!!!!! * begs on bended knees*

    Sean Bankhead werk! His utube page is itsseanbankhead

    I'm really not comfortable with Alex's management, some of their actions are really incompetent. Alex needs to be more ruthless n be about her business n get her house in order I call for new management. Nicki dumped diddy n look global superstar n bey got rid of her dad. Brandy got rid of her mum n look she has a buzz around her right now. I'm just saying

    I agree Alexandra desperately needs to dump her mis-management and push for a US launch...not sure if it will happen though...

    Loool @ Mis-management, they are exactly that. She needs a team that are checking the blogs, are upto speed with trends n what's popular, I mean why isn't Alex on any of those vevo series' like stylised on that lift thing?

    They are so slow off the mark...

    It's the best way to describe their foolishness lol..

    Her management are so so lacking....they should be getting her VEVO featured videos I totally agree, plus adverts, endorsements and most of all they should be drumming up hype by having her featured on blogs more frequently...and releasing teaser videos and running constant PR stories to the press about who she is working with on her new album and getting people to praise her in the press etc...

    There is so much wrong...but Alex is doing the best she can...I just hope LIG gets the charting it deserves...

    I mean the basic stuff they should cover they are not, I'm not even talking about extra carefully marketed and strategised promotional slots. She needs to cover all bases, the young, adult contemporary, she should really go on jools holland show her deep contralto is devine and urban radio. I'd love for like Burke Monday's where the previous week ppl tweet her songs they'd love her to cover n she does. She could do them in her bathroom. Soo much more they could do to drum up a buzz n remind everyone how amazing she is.


    I like her Huffington post blog that's real cute.

    On a positive note I truly adore let it go and I'm loving the video loads now!!!

    woo part 8! I agree with all the talk above me about her management. I am so excited she is on The Voice of Ireland this weekend. I just hope the BBC see it and realise they NEED her on the UK version! And then ofc BGT would top it all off :D

    Yeah I think her being on The Voice Ireland is really encouraging for a possible UK slot...let's hope she's secured it...plus BGT would be brilliant on top of that :D
