If he can put in a performance that generated the same buzz as Listen, he could well be in with a chance.”
Candyman changed it for Alexandra IMO, it was the first real 'show stopping' uptempo performance XFactor had ever had.
previous 'moments of the series' had been ballads from Leona and Rhydian, Shayne's Somewhere Over The Rainbow etc but not many uptempo dance numbers had impressed.
I think Alexandra did the most diverse range of songs of all the winners, and the public appreciated that.
