personally, i thought the whole tom deacon business was a bit of obsessive. her fans taking to twitter send him abuse and complaining to the bbc before hearing the broadcast.

I know nothing about that whatsoever, so this perception that "Alex is being got at" is hugely inflated in my view. Talk about her music and whether you like it or not, that is where it is at, not all the 'reality' fluff that appears to come with it.

i only knew about that incident because of a thread in the showbiz section. like i said previously though, its all pale insignificance in the bigger picture. every artist gets criticised and alex is no exception. her fans should be happy that new music is emerging and she has international plans.
Whether a singer lasts all depends on the songs released and whether they - the songs - are popular or not...simple as... P.S. Listened to Madonna's new one...not feeling it I am afraid. I won't be buying it. |

Indeed. My perception is that Jodie Marsh, Kerry Katona and Katie Price get it the worst, in my view...but hey, what do I know?

there are plenty of singers that get bad press and it goes with the territory. nobody is above criticism in the media. its all about finding the positives in what you enjoy and appreciating that. life is too short to dwell on agendas that are not really any different to the stick other singers face.

It's not poppy / commercial enough for my tastes. It's not Hung Up enough in my view.

I have to say, I am less inclined to 'check out' the new album because of it's lead single.
i just goes to show not everyone can agree on everything or like the same things. i think alex has a big fan base and they are rooting for her to do well. they should be lapping up this exciting time with new releases, not dwelling on negatives that all artists face.

Rubbish. Many many people buy into the image as much as they buy into the music itself these days. Do you really think the likes of Kylie, Cheryl Cole and to an extent Rihanna would be successful if their images were any different?
Quote:
Oh Zack, I am trying to be patient. Kylie's fans like pop/dance Kylie, they don't like IndieKylie, that is why that period failed. It has absolutely nothing to do with what she was wearing/not wearing, trust me.

Was it commercially successful though? In the UK, it only sold 60,000 copies...her worst sales to date by a long shot.

Your post is hardly worth a response due to you playing the race card. She is arrogant, over the top with a horrible personality - that is clearly the reason.

it was insulting, degrading, offensive and totally unacceptable. hes not paid by our license fee to degrade and insult a joke is a joke but this went too far im afraid Alexandra;s mum got a PERSONAL apology from Radio 1's controller BEN COOPER regarding this which only proves that the comment was untoward in the first place |

What was the point in bringing this thread back? Pretty sure we have enough Alex threads as it is.

In my honest opinion, I think she has one of the best voices in the UK and is extremely talented!
I know she has had her fair share of controversial moment (cue the "OK.com" comments), but she is generally a nice person. I have a few theories 1. [b]She is black, confident and talented. That's generally a negative thing in the UK. (Similar to Misha B on X Factor)[/B]2. The fact she beat JLS back in 2008! Could it be that so many people are still holding a grudge that she beat JLS to the winning spot? This could be it! 3. People confuse her confidence with arrogance- Could it be that people thinks she is getting "big for boots", when actually she is just grateful to be doing the job she loves and doesn't hide it, which annoys people? This is why I think Alexandra really needs to hurry up and get to America where she will be much more appreciated! The UK really doesn't know how to look after their talent, as seen with cutting Adele off at the brits! |

No it isn't. How many dark skinned (because black people don't look like Beyonce, Rihanna and Emeli Sande) people are topping charts? NONE. And Alex's personality is always used against her, when it isn't for her contemporaries such as Adele, who gets away with cursing on live tv all the time, and you could easily class as rude (I don't btw). There are things about her and her looks (Alex) that none of her contemporaries receive in terms of insults. It's like a revolving door.

As for Adele, I think any singer in that position, who sadly got cut off ,would have been prasied for doing what she did did whether that had been Adele, Alex or any other singer. As for Alex, I think she is a great singer ))))
