Alexandra tweeted yesterday that she was back in the studio recording songs with RedOne: Read the tweet here.

Does anyone think that RedOne is going overkill? Or do they love his music?

Broken Heels is Alexandra's next single, and it was produced by RedOne. Its really good. I think it is some of his better work, although it doesn't really come close to any of Lady Gaga's songs. I think that's because Lady Gaga is so creative and she has a lot of control over the production of her music.

RedOne's worst song to date must be "About a Girl" by the Sugababes. Just awful.

Oh About A Girl is my favourite Sugababes song in years, fabulous. But I have to agree about Gaga, they should just get married and have lots of talented babies. They make magic together!

well that's it, isn't it? Lady Gaga is a creative artist and has her own musical direction, and earned the chance to work with such producers because of that - just listen to Poker Face and Bad Romance, and it's easy to see why RedOne loves working with her. Alexandra - however good a singer she is - got the chance to work with producers like RedOne purely because of winning x factor, and has never had to show any sort of creativity. she's got it easy.

Alexandra's 'Broken Heels' is a great song and I can't wait to see the video.

I hope she gets another number 1.

I agree though that Lady GaGa has the power of control over her songs as she wrote most of them and is a very creative artist.

So she's back in the studio? She must be doing what Leona did and will record some new tracks for the american release of her album.

Thats it exactly, said she would be doing this a couple of weeks ago, I think she's also back in with the neptunes as well. As for Akon, she may be recording with him early next year in time for her US release. They must be changing the tracklist for the US version if she's in the studio again.

I agree about RedOne, he is a good producer but only with the right artist, his earlier stuff isn't that great, and recently anyone who records with him ends up sounding like they're trying to copy GaGa, he really needs to get some new sounds, that awful horn he uses in nearly every song and the same beats he uses are getting tiring.

This is why I like the silence - it is completely different to what redone has been producing recently. Most definitely not knock-off gaga.

Yeah agree with that, you wouldn't have known RedOne did this unless Alexandra did his little shout thing, or if you read the liner notes. Its a really good song and I hope its a single, they can't afford to pass this one over.

Whether it was pure coincidence or not, the Red One produced tracks on Alexandra's album are top class and not GaGa rejects as already mentioned. I think he captured Alexandra's personality really well and used it to produce pieces of pop gold, in the case of Broken Heels at least. You just believe this is 100% Burke through and through I think he has shown a knack for adapting his style to suit the personality of his clients so his music doesn't all sound the same (take notes Timbaland, Ryan Tedder)
