Another X factor Thread! Why does everyone hate on Alex???

103 replies

PingpingsatonSantasface · 15/12/2008 16:25

Alexander Burke the Xfactor winner and out of all of them deserved the title she is by far an amazing singer, I don't know why so many people are putting her down.

I think she worked really hard to get to where she is and I hope she goes on to win the Christmas number 1.

Alex with out a doubt has to be the best singer that has come out of X Factor. Lenoa Lewis is good but she does not have as much singing range as Alex.

jooseyfruit · 15/12/2008 16:32

...and people are allowed to have different opinions to yours.

thenewme · 15/12/2008 16:34

Leona Lewis is good? She has been number 1 in America and not many people can say that. She is more than good!

misdee · 15/12/2008 16:34

i think she has an great voice.

BUT I DONT LIKE THE FACT THAT THE XMAS NO1 HAS BEEN DOMINATED BY X-FACTOR/POP IDOL WINNERS FOR SO LONG NOW.

sorry for caps lock, hit it by mistake

i want a really good xmas #1. like wham lol.

PenelopePitstops · 15/12/2008 16:35

shes rubbish, but so were they all

she cries too much

she is annoying and a big sob story

she has so mny contacts in the industry if she really was that good she would have made it by now

leona is miles better than alex just listen to leonas performances on xfactor compared to alex, they dont compare

MrsMattie · 15/12/2008 16:35

I think Alex is gorgeous and super talented.

saltiresaysSANTA · 15/12/2008 16:37

Misdee - I was just about to post the exact same thing about Christmas number 1s!

I have never ever watched Xfactor, so can't comment on the singing. I can comment on the fact there are about 3/4 threads in chat about it. Why not put them in Telly addicts like this one is

DorrisMcWenceslas · 15/12/2008 16:41

I think she had a good voice but it's too warbly for my liking (but then again, I don't like Mariah and that ilk for the same reason).
She has got on my nerves due to her incesant crying and that humble-ness seemed really forced towards the end.
Mind you, I'm sure it's really difficult to come across 'all great' on TV. The girl has a good voice and I think she'll do well if she can mark herself out as a bit different.
I totally agree with Misdee about the X factor chrsitmas number one domination though. It has to stop!

PingpingsatonSantasface · 15/12/2008 16:44

There is nothing crap about her she has an amazing voice.

I think Leona Lewis is a great singer but Alex will go further.

As for the xmas no1 that's not Alex's fault its the people that by her single we the public choose our Xmas Number 1.

ROFL at the suggestion that a given number of wankers buying records in the States is a sure fire sign of talent.

The home of Billy Ray Cyrus. The litmus test of talent.

God help us all

pagwatch · 15/12/2008 16:46

she is crap. she makes Mariah look talented.

The ability to hit a note is not the only criteria you know.

As Griff Rhys Jones once said to Mel Smith whilst they were playing in an Indonesian Gamelan orchestra (Alas Smith and Jones circa 1988)

"Its a load of old bollox eh?"

(Although i don't mind the odd bit of gamelan i apply the statement to X factor)

pagwatch · 15/12/2008 16:47

"I think Leona Lewis is a great singer but Alex will go further"

Please let that be true!

Actually could they both go?

PingpingsatonSantasface · 15/12/2008 16:47

PingpingsatonSantasface · 15/12/2008 17:01

PMSL I will hold you to that Pagwatch.

LOL at Leona. So do you not like Whitney either?

stillenacht · 15/12/2008 17:02

Personally i don't mind Whitney in some of her songs but please that dreadful "I will always love you" AARRRGGH! I blame that song for all of this (well not just that song obv)

PingpingsatonSantasface · 15/12/2008 17:02

South London English!

They don't hate Alex they hate on her which means they hate on her because they maybe a little jealous they deeply wish to be her or have her new found fame.
