So wait Britney has only sold 24 million singles? That means less than half a million per single worldwide? That does not add up! Apparently Britney has 100 million physical sales, that does not include her digital sales!

No. The term 'icon' is thrown about far too regularly these days as it is.
Alexandra Burke will be judged on the quality of the songs, none of which have been particularly memorable.......so far! |

Why is it bitterness to not be a fan of Burke? Such a lazy argument.
From what I've seen success doesn't always equate talent, just look at the music scene today there aren't many great vocalists there, are there? Only a handful. |

Lol, what gave you the impression that I was implying what you've just stated? I don't think a person who's not a fan of Alexandra would go to such extreme lengths to criticise her and her career and then go as far as to say she will never have success like Britney, that's what I call bitter. If you don't like her okay, that's fine...good for you but who are we to predict what will happen and won't?

You called another poster bitter. That's where I got it from. And I can think of lots of great vocalists,with ease.

Exactly. If you only listen to chart music, of course you're going to think Alexandra is amazing. I don't see anything obscure about the women I've mentioned, Joy won a Grammy recently.

I love Bjork...all her songs tell a story and she has amazing vocals. But I don't think she can be compared to Alexandra at all...:-/

However, get someone who isn't talented enough to make it on their own, throw in a phone vote, get them to sing completely forgetful songs that some one else writes and someone else tell them to sing, and these guys are all over them like flies on shit.

I love that one. I'm assuming you've heard her in The Civil Wars too?
There's something refreshing/Innocent about her music. It's very uplifting.
