Alex's talent is above all your faves, so I'm not really offended by your opinions.

Excellent post.
The Burke stans have gone rather quiet haven't they.

Well, she sang songs by legends so....your point is irrelevant. People voted because she was really good. Same for Leona. Not talented enough to make it on their own....I think you'll find that's not true, she saw an opportunity and took it and it paid off. And she's now wealthy. Pretty good going I'd say. Only in the UK do people hold such ridiculous gripes against her origins And the songs she sang aren't forgetful...the ones you're a fan of are. End of.

Forget the songs, I don't even know anyone of the artists he's mentioned therefore they are irrelevant. :yawn:

It was not about vocals... the poster said talent. George Harrison wrote some great songs and was capable of picking up a guitar. What has Alexandra bloody Burke ever done?

I've never come across so many Alexandra Burke stans before - I never thought she was relevant enough tbh

Yes you're right. Her one album output outstrips Kate Bushes 35 year career which includes some of the best British albums of all time.
She leaves the 20 odd year careers of Bjork & PJ Harvey choking an her dust as they foolishly wished their albums like Debut, Homogenic, Stories From The City Stories From The Sea and Let England Shake had the depth and general quality of Overcome.
You are so totally right

Right I'll let you have that one, but one has to remember Alex is very young and in a couple of years she might be just as good as Whitney, after all Alex is known for progressing with her voice, it simply just keeps on getting better.

Resorting to profanity, nice one.

Ignorance is bliss it seems. :yawn:

When there are so many amazing talents why would I waste my time with Alexandra Burke?

Could you enlighten us as to which legend wrote Elephant or Bad Boys or Broken Heels?
And the bit in bold, Jesus are you five?

So if you don't know of someone or something that makes it irrelevant?
I'd imagine from such ignorance your world must contain an awful lot of irrelevant things.

She's only been around for 3 years. And had 1 UK album at that. No need to cry dear. A guitar means nothing to me. And neither do the Beatles. Never saw the hype at all.

Were you not referring to XF? And she did write Elephant. I was referring to the songs she sang to get the deal.

Then leave. No one's asking YOU to be here. Ignorance is bliss. And so I will proceed to ignore you.
