Done it, I've tweeted her Brother and a few members of TweamBurke so hopefully it'll get back to her.

WooHoo! I got the first post on part 4.:D
Things should be getting much busier now that we're approaching Q4. We should find out the next single and the tracklisting for the re-release.
:cool:
Glad to see SWY #1 on iTunes and #1 in midweeks. It has #1 in the bag I think.
I wonder what Chris Moyles and his cronies ( Aled in particular ) will have to say about that?
Aww I know, bless him.
I'm happy Alex will be number 1 for another week!
I have to admit, when I saw the other thread locked I thought it had all kicked off in here.:eek:
I love this version of Perfect. If they feature JLS on this song, I will gladly shoot Smon Cowell! :P
I wouldn't worry. When you listen to the clip it's from the second version that leaked. They may have changed the intro to the Bruno Mars version.
1 Alex said she was dueting with a group. she never mentioned JLS - people have come to that conclusion themselves.
2 She never said the duet was the next single. That was DS speculating.
I think it could be the next single. simply because it was played on X-Factor and Alex tweeted straigh after it!!
I think it is the next single and that's why I doubt JLS are on it.
They have a Shontelle duet coming out in America this month and a new UK single coming out in November called something cheesy (can't remember) so I doubt they will be on another single.
If 'Perfect' isn't released, I'll be fuming.
Apparently their US single with Shontelle has been scrapped.
When you listen to the lyrics of Perfect it just wouldn't work as a duet, and like I said the snippet on the x-factor is from the second version that leaked.
It's possible that she is dueting on another track with JLS, but I think it's more likely to be the Smeezingtons or a US group. She said in an interview not that long ago that she hadn't yet worked with a UK act.
BAD NEWS- Duffy releasing her new album November 29th.
So that's:
Take That
Duffy
Olly Murs
Alexandra Burke
Katy Perry about to overtake Alex on iTunes. SWY has been #1 for AGES THOUGH!
New Single- Love You More
The demo of Perfect that leaked in July 2009 along with Overcome is on Dailymotion.
Sooo glad Alex hit #1 with SWY, hopefully it'll hold onto it this week too. I do like Katy Perry too but I find her a little arrogant...? I think Alexandra deserves more weeks at #1 than she does. It's weird, at first I didn't really like SWY either, since it sounded like a kids' tune to me, but if you approach it with the mindset of thinking it's a #1 it's actually really good!? It's great for what it is, just a fun, summery song. I think people worried a bit too much about it. I do hope she delves into more meaningful material though, really excited to see what she does next.
Would really love it if she had a definite niche of her own, I could see her being a bit more rocky - she's got the power and sass for it, and her vocals suit the style really well. It'd definitely show off her mid range which it what she excels at - she needs more songs like that!
Following the discussion here, I do like Perfect, definitely don't see it as being 'catchy' enough to be a single though? I know it's popular here though :P I'm actually kind of hoping she releases Overcome, or some awesome new ballad. (The Silence missed its chance I feel).
Anyway, sorry to ramble on! Nice to finally post on here
She'll still stay number one even if she's overtaken I think, Katy Perry won't make up those sales in the matter of two days.
I love the Bruno Mars version of Perfect so I hope she's recorded that version and releases it
Welcome and Hi!
I agree a rockier sound would suit her well.:cool:
I kinda agree. Im really like TD.
She will be #1 on Sunday I think.:D
You're wrong there Stargirl. I've been doing some research into Perfect and the many versions to see what I can find, and it appears the one that was heard on XF was a version that has not leaked.
There are 5 versions of Perfect, 2 of which haven't leaked and 3 of which have.
The first was the mid-tempo Knock You Down style version produced by the Stereotypes recorded in early May 2009.
The second was a slower version that got leaked, but disappeared very quickly (you can still find it though not on YT) and was recorded mid May.
The third was the revamped slower version (prod. by Brian Kennedy) which leaked along with 15 other tracks and was actually recorded on MJ's deathday (:()
The fourth is a version which has leaked with Bruno's vocals (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zc9B-fhyDI), but a version by Alex was recorded but not leaked.
The fifth and final version is a revamped version of the Bruno version above but with drums and strings added. This is the version that we all heard on the X Factor and will probably appear on the re-release.
All in all, this song has been around since May of last year but there are soooo many versions of this song.
