Alexandra Burke

As everybody is aware by now Alexandra Burke won the X Factor on Saturday and she has her first single out which we’ve taken from her official website alexandraburkeofficial.com a bit of a mouthful but an impressive looking site which we will add to our FJ Girls Directory at some stage. This new single official video “Hallelujah” is current hot search!

So as she has a new single and she is now in the real world we get to critic this new artist and rate her song and new vid which regulars will notice we did not do on the Saturday final performance……..she won the contest so not much point rating that!.

Alexandra Burke – Official Single – ‘Hallelujah’

Review:

Video is a mixture of clips from the X Factor series featuring Alexandra and quite a lot of her Mentor Cheryl Cole, some colour, some black and white, it’s an emotional feminine video, and is a tribute if anything to the series in giving her this break to achieve her dream. It’s a nice touch as a whole nation can relate to this and the journey she has taken to become the X Factor No1.

The plus side is, this is vocally superb, all the technicals are in place, she’s looking good and confident and it’s a quality performance and their’s plenty of power, range and expert delivery on tap here. The down side and this is just for us but others may agree………..we are just not that keen on the song………just a bit to gospel  for us, but this is timed and aimed primarily at the christmas market (we think) and the timing couldn’t be better.

Our main concern with someone like Alexandra is where is she going to fit in musically in the current music scene with the likes of Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey, Beyonce. She’s not incredibly different,  it will be interesting to see what line she takes on this, niche being the operative word here, as this will ultimately decide where she positions herself in this competitive market and more importantly, whether her career goes skyward like Leona Lewis or just achieves mediocrity or fades into obscurity.

Rating:

As mentioned before this song is not for us, but its technically up there, and if you put Leona, Mariah or Beyonce in her place, we doubt if there would be any huge difference which is a huge credit to Alexandra and on that basis we rate as 3 and a half stars out 5 and a good rating indeed for a new performer!!!

Chart success prediction…………….No1! There’s such a huge following of this show only the huge competition or ironically Leona and her cover of  ”Run”  are standing in its way! On the subject of Leona she is No1 for the second week will she make it a third??

Included below is a short clip of the making of this video with recording studio footage.
