Does anyone actually know why Elephant isn't played on Capital or Radio 1 and not even on their playlists?

They obviously considered it to be a bad song, as do many.
Your negativity pisses me off.

I didn't think her X Factor weekend was even that bad.

If it's making you so upset then why don't you leave the thread.....btw Elephant is at #4 on iTunes now. I LOVE how it keeps on climbing. Glad so many people are enjoying the single....happy days....
![]() .You also didn't answer my question on what Kelly had to offer on the X-factor, seeing as you omitted her from your paragraph of judge criticism.. Not being funny but why don't I clutch at straws and accuse you of being pro-black and anti-white? Alexandra Burke fans are quick to accuse 'haters' of racism, why don't I? ![]() |

because this isn't an appreciation thread and therefore I can be here with all the negativity I want

Tbh if this does'nt get to Number 1 it's just an embarrassment going off how long the other songs ahead of her have been out.

Hardly, I'm annoyed with the accusations of racism by pathetic fans.
You haven't answered my question. Kelly wasn't that great, Alex was better than her in my view, but Kelly was still better than Tulisa who flopped with 2/3 of her category and showed no musical knowledge. Alexandra is at #3 now and there are reports of it even at #2 on iTunes so just lol at all the 'it will fail' comments and the like from you.

How exactly so? She's lacking airplay and to me that's the biggest promotion there is.

Hate to interrupt the serious debating but I was just reading her Wikipedia and couldn't help but laugh at..
.."As of December 2011, Burke has sold over 4 million records in the UK with combined sales of her singles and her album Overcome. Her second album, Okay Dot Com!, is due for release in 2012 and has produced the single "Elephant"."

I doubt her appearance on X Factor had that much of an effect, negative or positive.
If she doesn't get number one (not that that's the be all and end all), it would probably be due to lack of airplay, and people simply not liking it. I know I sure don't like it. Firstly, Alexandra's single is doing quite well anyway. I know it's not #1, but it's hardly doing appallingly. Secondly, the song hasn't been promoted very well. It's had decent-ish MTV airplay, but it's radio airplay (probably the most important form of promotion) has been minimal. Even Rage Against the Machine's song that got to #1 a couple of years ago got more airplay, and that was a rock song full of swearing. Thirdly, we have to accept that some people may simply not like the song. I like Alexandra, but I'm not particularly fond of this song to be honest. |

Nah, if people like the song, they'll buy it, regardless of who's the artist.
I wish Alex the best of luck with the new album. She comes across as a grounded, vivacious young woman. Still hope she'll record a duet with Leona one day! |

It's now at number 3. If this does get to number one then this thread is pretty pointless. With pretty much no radio play, it will be a huge acheivement.
