No. Alexandra is as boring as Leona Lewis. JLS much more entertaining.
Aggree with you there Jeanc. I never have liked Alexandra, too much of a drama queen, Her , Ruth, Laura and Leona all sound the same they all shout when they're singing and as for Alexandra singing Silent night with all that warbling (as all the others do) she completely ruined it, I'm sorry but I found all 4 of them boring.
The whole show has been rubbish this year in my opinion - at least since Laura went out anyway ......... and yes Alex is just Leona mark 2 ! If we had to have any of them, it should have been JLS, at least they were different.
Yep, a Leona Lewis clone all right! I was really rooting for JLS.
yes Alex was the correct choice for me, superb star, didn't like the young guy in JLS he was off key far too many times. 8.000.000 votes at 35p minimum that's �280.000.00 !
missed a 0 off .�280.000.000.lol
The best singer in the final (if that actually counts for anything) won. Although I'm still sulking that Ruth wasn't there.

As for JLS, I don't feel sorry for them losing out, but I do feel sorry for them that their R&B style is already being stripped away by Louis flamin' Walsh gradually turning them into We$tlife 2 (or is it Boyzone 3?). I laughed last week when he told them there was a gap in the market for them. Oh yes Louis, the world really needs another weedy-voiced boyband, perched on stools until the big key change. Leave them alone, you evil little man.

Still, at least Eggnog didn't win.
I felt sorry for Eggnog as you call him, after all he's only 16 and he did his best, I wish people would stop slagging him off!
No-one's saying he didn't do his best, gelda, but that's just it - his best shouldn't have been good enough to get him in the final. One of the three best acts in the whole thing? Absolutely no way. Week after week, far better singers went out while he bizarrely stayed in.

I think the other thing that really grated on the nerves was his increasingly desperate, pleading, last puppy in the shop looks to camera to get the mums to vote for him. Which worked infuriatingly well right up until last night.
Sing them a song, Della......
The bad singers is my favourite part of the whole series.
Thank goodness Eggnog finally went. He shouldn't even have got to the boot camp stage. He sings out of tune a lot of the time and is embarrassing.

I was rooting for JLS. And yes I find Alexander totally boring too, and all those tears and emotion were dreadful to watch. JLS were far more entertaining.

I heard her CD on the radio this morning. It is just very ordinary and her voice is similar to lots of others. And she has ruined what is an absolutely wonderful song (was there any need to warble at the end). Jeff Buckley would turn in his grave!! I shall now go and put my Jeff Buckley album on!!

It is a shame that such a great song, performed far greater by Buckley than the original Leonard Cohen one is to be tarnished with this pop trash version.

It also galls me that people have actually gone out of their way to buy Leona's version of another great song (Run). Surely it can't just be me that thinks she wails her way excruciatingly through the whole damn thing.

OOooeer--yeaahh-oooOOOoo-aaaa singing just make my skin crawl. Especially when they apply to a fantastic orginal.
Actually Octavius I quite liked the beginning of Leona's version of Run, but as it goes on she warbles more and more and the end of it is a total, incomprehensible mess!!

There are too many Leonas and Alexanders about. What's wrong with just straightforward singing without going the all the scales!!! Yes, warbling makes my skin crawl too!!

8.000.000 votes at 35p minimum that's �280.000.000!

What if this money went to charity, don't ITV get enough out of advertising etc. to pay for this show?


I've never been a great fan of Alexandra & she lost me completely on her opening line of Silent night. Too much warbling a la Leona/Mariah.
Shame about JLS, I hope they do well in the future, they seem like really nice lads.

is it just me, or is Alexandra's version on "Hallelujah" (which will of course be christmas number one) truly awful?
I'm no good at maths but:

How did you get 280 million.

If a call cost a pound you'd only get 8 million.

Did you mean 2.8 million.
8 million multiplied by .35p is 2.8million
Wanted JLS to win but they will get something from this, as will Eoghan.

Apparently in the iTunes chart earlier Jeff Buckley was at no.7 and Alexandra was at No.78.

Loved the original, would personally like him to be no.1 :)
