if you know this song at all you'll know it is supposed to be a solemn song, that should be performed gently. alexandra has single handedly destroyed this song. this is oversung, when it doesnt need to be, and does not in any way capture the true emotion of the song. many of the lyrics are abndoned in place of improvisations and horrible pop music.
this never ever ever should have been used for an x factor winner. the only person who maybe could have made this work from the x factor is diana vickers, who i hope does not end up a manufactured pop star.
in short-alexandra wont be leona. she has a good voice but should never save sung this song. not a worthy christmas number one. pop travesty. avoid.

There is no doubt leona lewis has a great voice but Alexandra burke has so much star quality. Not only is she a fantastic person but she is a brilliant singer. I say watch this space cos she is going to be massive!

She has an amazing voice but i dont believe she is as good as leona. However her song hallelujah is a fantastic song. It is deffitnley worh buying.
