She's gone back to singing in that horrible way!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ74v0Y3RsI

I think she made a mistake in not choosing to sing like how she does in this video.

I hate to say that this song is growing on me. I still find it repetitive but I'm starting to like it.

I also really like the video - definitely not the sort of thing I expected from her!

Er, that's because she was impersonating "diva" singers like Shirley Bassey as her role in Little Voice. She was never going to sing like that on her album.

I was expecting something more quirky and unusual for the video. A tad underwhelmed but it's alright. Luckily, the song is epic so the video doesn't really matter.

First time i heard the song after seeing the video. Sounds like a grower. Diana looks so different but comes across too girly in her current image. I loved her quirky image and how her hair would be a huge mess and with no make up on when she did interviews in the videos on X factor before she performed. I wanna see more quirkyness as the months go by hopefully.

The song's nice but her voice is awful. Really irritating.

I like the sparkly dress bit..and how she looks in the trumpet t-shirt.

But I still think she can't pull off "sexy" as well as she can pull off "cute". She certainly should stay away from the red lipstick Nude and light lipstick looks so much better on her. As does light makeup in general because she is a very pretty girl.

As for the song, it's good, I like it, but I still cannot stand her ball-in-the-throat voice thing she does. It's really irritating

P.S. Is she automatically doing to be compared to Pixie Lott, do you think?

I would have prefered it if she went for a more distinct sound. This just sounds like an ordinary pop song, nothing new apart from her voice.

Absolutely love the video.

She's like a few ideas rightly lifted from Cheryl Cole's debut, plenty of outfits and looks, if someone is put off by one, they'll probably like at least 3 others, love her boogying love the whole video to be honest, she looks great and I feel the song builds brilliantly, and the video does the same, so for the epic finale we get to see all the outfits that have come before it.

Also the end of the first chorus where she throws the hooded thing down is just brilliant.

Are you sure that is her singing anyway - sounds more like Horricks.Checked the other video's & sounds totally different, even though quality in all isn't good.

Or Madonna's material girl
What's she doing with Marina's (& T Diamonds) woolen hoody with the ears.

These video producers are not very original are they.They'll pinch anyone's idea's / images even when the original places they steal them from are not that good.

Just about made out one bit

Once, once I'll let you kill me

I wonder if that will be a sort of ironic death nail in her quest for fame

Awful awful video and song. Alexandra Burke won't be losing any sleep, that is for sure.

What does Diana's video and first single have to do with Alexandra Burke?

Could it be a case, that with all the glowing and rave reviews that Diana's sampler CD has been receiving, that Alexandra's fans are getting a bit jittery?

The X-Factor 2008 has been over for a long time now.

They are 2 artists making their way in the world. Let them do their thing, and wish them the best.

Alot of crapy stuff seems to have glowing revues these days somehow.I don't trust the majority of them as regards having an indepentant objective viewpoint.There definately seems to be a lot of cash sloshing about to make sure these type of revues are written.

So, do the Reviews of Alexandra's singles/album fit in with your philosophy.

or, is it just the Reviews of Diana's stuff, that have been bought and paid for.

Hmm you have a point regarding your pixie lott comment

I love Diana. I rooted for her every week on XF and was devastated she was kicked out before her talentless ex boyfriend. I really hope she does well and that the actual finishing product is good.

The video is so bad. It looks cheap and her clothes are awful. Her hair is styled ok, but she looks like she has a busted lip for most of the video. The effects look like they're from a 90s video. With all the hype of her 'self written' album, I thought she would come harder than this...She will end up the same way as Laura White, their videos and songs are equally as crappy. If she wanted to launch a career she should have done it a long time ago like Alexandra Burke and JLS did. Her series is long finished. The many fans she would have had last year have probably moved on and rightly so.
