I thought Bad Boys was awful but God. just another typical, dreary, predictable token ballad. Is it that easy to suck people into this poor excuse for music?

I wouldn't say it's awful

Are you basing this on one listen? The majority of songs are weird and horrible after one listen.

Most of the songs I like I have loved from the word go. But then again I have never really liked Alexandra's personality or her genre of music - or her songwriters and producers

not really... and this genre of music is specifically designed to suck people in on the first listen, just like how people go out and buy a "winners song" because they saw it performed on X Factor once... For the record I did give it a few listens and it made me feel exactly the same each time.

its formula music aimed at fans of easy listening psuedo stylish mediocrity ,
its funny because fans dismiss critism of this type of music as retaliation of musical snobs yet its AB and the like who have the posh image (fur coat and no knickers if you ask me ) ,
its destroying creativity and individualism in music , with its bland drone whining from start to finish interrupted only by the odd ooh or ahhhh .

I like Alex, but I think this is awful! I think it's very dreary and she shouts an awful lot in it. If it was released as a single I think it would totally flop.

People always have to go to the extreme, don't they?
Alexandra Burke, like every other artist, is just releasing her own music - it doesn't stop anyone else from being creative or individual.

That said, I don't like the song.

What is the point of threads like this really? So you don't like a song, so what?

You could say that about people who make threads liking a song, who cares if they do? It is done to express an opinion.

her own music eh ?

"got an opportunity to be creative and put an opinion in and not be forced into anything at all", she says Cowell was "fully involved" in the album.

"He's the last man that makes a decision and I'm grateful for that because that man's bloody smart."

Alexandria,s contribution to "her music" according to herself was one opinion

It's probably one of the better songs of the album, but then again the album isn't very good. I've already deleted it off my ipod.

Alexandra's music is engineered purely to sell to the kids that watch X Factor, just like every other one of the show's contestants there's ever been. It's not about the music being good.

Maybe the "kids who watch X Factor" do think the music is good?
Your judgement on a song doesn't make it a fact, you know.
I still don't like the song, but that doesn't mean everyone who does like it is automatically lying/gullible/etc.

If a song is good, it won't sound weird or horrible after one listen. It'll either instantly sound good, it'll be catchy to draw you back in or be interesting to draw you back.

Chances are if the first opinion is awful, that's the opinion that'll stick.

And it is awful.

And as has already been said, so is Mrs John Fashanu, I mean Alexandra Burke in general.
