    one of the blandest most unoriginal songs i've ever heard... its her uncreativity, crap songs that represent the direness of that show

    I'd actually rather listen to jedward

    Hmmm, couldn't find anything bad to say about her voice though could you? :rolleyes:

    And you can hardly call Alexandra bland, seeing as this is her first ballad release in 2 years after delivering a string of uptempo/dance hits...

    I think its time you sat down :)

    uptempo/dance songs can actually be bland too, and no I can't really find anything to say bad about her voice, don't really have anything good to say either, its just one of those "heard it all before" voices

    but being a music fan you should know that its more than just having a "voice" i can name a million artists who are much more influential than alexandra that wouldn't be able to match her technical vocal abilities

    It's not getting a proper single release, Just available to cherry-pick from the album.

    Just downloaded it. I didn't expect to like it but, it's very good.

    I'm not especially a fan of Alexandra, but I just thought it was funny how she came on, belted out a number and rendered the whole series pretty redundant.

    + You've got to love a performance that involves being air lifted.

    Didn't like the song or her. She balled and shouted throughout the song. Sorry. Thats just my opinion for what its worth.I'm sure plenty people enjoy her.

    Shes my favourite winner by far, but, the gimmicky set with the suspended dancers/violinist was unneccessary and a tad vulgar, (also ripped off from Madonnas drowned earth tour), i dont blame her though- just the 'creative' team!

    The set was ridiculous but her vocal was totally out of this world! I haven't seen anyone come on the show as an established act and sing that well. She is a fantastic talent, I hope she is not wasted with poor songs.

    Totally agree. The material she's been given so far has been weak, IMO. But I also totally agree that she showed how superior she is, as a singer. It was an amazing performance.

    I wouldn't say it's been weak - Bad Boys and All Night Long are very good pop songs. Start Without You and Broken Heels are the wrong side of cheesy, but the album overall was pretty good for a debut.

    Such a stunning performance

    Her best performance i have seen from her as i have found past promo on past singles very dire.

    Meh...

    I would give Leona Lewis's performance of Run 95/100 and Lady GaGa's Bad Romance 94/100. By comparison, Alexandra's The Silence gets...




    65/100...

    Not in the same league as Leona Lewis in terms of singing ballads, nor of GaGa in terms of singing uptempo songs. Well sung, but emotionless and dull. Forgettable to be honest.

    I though the song was really dull - I cannot recall anything about it. However,I though she sang really well, looked lovely and the staging was great!
