What is wrong with those comments? I seen basically the exact same thing in her appreciation thread today, people are allowed to comment on whether they like her outfit or not.

Why do some people have to slag her off and make personal comments. I really don't understand why some people have to be so negative about everything. Express a view that you may not like someone's music but to make derogatory comments and be happy that she has not charted and that Radio stations are blacklisting her really shows how sad some individuals are.

I'm not even a fan of hers, but even I can tell she gets more dislike than other celebs..
True, most people aren't bothered about her, but she still gets so much casual negativity.

Putting wrong words in mouth is not gonna make your case any stronger...Leona got punched in the face during her book signing and being criticized for being dull a Syco's puppet etc. Should she share the hate national figure medal that Alexandra has inherited then?
I didn't say it was normal behavior but I question this national hate figure claim you guys are now using to defend Alex. It's going too far and plain boring now...If these death threats were that serious how come it happened more than once? Surely she's not that stupid to organize tighter security to protect herself from such threat. As for being bullied on Twitter, that's another story but similarly Cher Lloyd's case of bullying I'd never understand why they stay on twitter to take so much abuse? If it was affecting her like you guys claim it it is, she'd been having a breakdown by now...

Couldn't agree more.

She may get more dislike than some others, but compared to some celebs the Daily Mail are easy on her, check out a Cheryl Cole or Christine Bleakley article. All Alexandra has been criticised about is her outfit, which fans did today in the appreciation thread.

Exactly...how much hate does Alexandra actually have? Selena Gomez has also been punched in the face. All celebs have to live with a certain level of abuse and twitter has made it all to easy for everyday people to access celebrities and communicate with them directly.

Is Alexandra's level of abuse any worse than what the average celebrity has to face? There are plenty out there that have had to endure worse.

Is that photoshopped?

She does realise people laughed at her when she said it, not with? Toe-Curlingly cringe-worthy.

She's done well though in that she's spread herself around outwith music so she'll be able to sustain one flop album campaign.

Yeah, Daily Mail commenters can be rough
Towie girls get it worst lol...

Honestly I was truly expecting to read some awful, disgusting comments about her but I don't see what's wrong with them in the context of the hate figure debate that's going on in this thread...I'm not saying the posters were right and some of them are quite bitchy but it's nothing less you'd expect from DM readers whether it's about Alexandra Burke, Gaga or Rihanna.

It's so funny how much hate can stem from uttering the words "ok.com", not laughing at the hate, before someone tries to crucify me, it's petty and so dumb haha. Who knew her saying it would blow up so much. Like, it's forever being used against her.

I really can't understand what she's supposed to have done wrong. And so what if she has one single that flops? Haven't most artists? Christ, look at Madonna and the way her two latest singles and MDNA have performed (no, I'm not about to hate, I'm a fan). Yet she's now embarking on what will probably become the most successful Worldwide tour in history. One single doesn't count for everything. Alex is a very talented artist and I'm sure she'll be back at the top of the charts (where she belongs) soon.

She wishes she was a national hate figure! Don't you have to be famous for that?!

That's what her fans seem to fail to accept. She's in the public eye and with fame comes negativity and scrutiny. It shouldn't be like this but unfortunately it is how it is for everyone who shot to fame!
And I agree with you, Twitter and now even Facebook make it easier for anybody to directly say what they think to celebrities. In the same way you've got trolls, 'haters' who think they can send harmful message to those celebs they dislike, the same celebs must have tons of their fans tweting them their love for their new single and so on...

millions of fans?
Must've been a massive selling chart week if millions of fans got behind someone who sneaked into the top 40.
I am assuming that whoever was number one had bajillionsquillion fans.

Such a shame the uk can't appreciate one of their best homegrown stars and instead choose to gleefully take the p*ss out of her.

No we get it. But in her case it's OTT and not proportionate with what 'causes offence' ok.com incites death threats does it? :sleep:

Some of those comments are tame compared to what others get on the Daily Mail.

So LIG sold 11k. I'm sorry but doesn't she has loads of fans following her on twitter who would know her single is out and decided not to buy it and wait for the album this week instead?

Some aspects can be blamed on radio but only 11k of her fans supported her single.

And her album is currently sitting at number 60 on iTunes.

What promo does she have this week? Jubilee Concert? Wembley? Busking on Oxford Street?
The album will probably go top 10 but it's week 4's position that will tell if the album has got a life, or even week 3.


Her "fans" on here have made comments that theyre buying multiple copies.......desperate much!

That is poor. On Facebook she has 936,749 likes and over 500,000 followers on Twitter. You can only blame radio so much.

After all that begging she was doing on Twitter throughout the week as well. I had to unfollow her because of her constant tweets/RT's.

But Madonna can afford to have flop singles nowadays. She's had a lot of hits and really doesn't have a huge amount left to prove on the singles chart. Kylie is the same. They've both been in the industry for 25 and 30 years, they've had the big hits and the number ones and there's bound to come a time when they're not necessarily guaranteed that anymore. Sure it would be nice if they made the top 10 again, and I'm sure they probably will at some point, but both can ride out underperforming singles. Alexandra is still relatively new and has only just released her second album. She has a lot to prove and unfortunately she can't afford to flop too often at this moment in her career. My guess is the performance of her new album and the next single will be a make or break moment in her career. It's not like Alexandra Burke has big support of markets outside of the UK. She's in trouble if her sales falter too much here.

At the end of the day, she isn't owed success just because she won The X-Factor. She may yet become another cautionary tale as to why these show do not guarantee lasting success in the industry. We'll just have to see.


It's telling that people think she should sell her life to TV in order to try and re-sell her music career to the public when she hasn't even been around that long. I also wouldn't really look to Peter Andre as guidance for a music career. He's a has-been, a joke. His main income nowadays is from selling every aspect of his life to magazines and TV. I doubt he makes a huge amount from music since it doesn't really sell that well. There were also numerous reports of poor tickets sales for his last tour.

They don't all live in the same country.

When I'm on twitter I barely listen to the celebs I follow.

Radio is needed alot. It doesn't matter how many twitter followers or Facebook fans she has.

Tbh she just needs to leave the uk. It's really negative. Maybe she just needs to punch and rob people or send out a sextape.

She didn't get punched that was just a rumour.
