♫ Alexandra Burke ft. Flo Rida – Bad Boys
Winner of UK singing competition The X Factor ‘08, Alexandra Burke’s new single has recently leaked on the internet. The track, entitled “Bad Boys” features rapper Flo Rida and premiered on BBC Radio on Tuesday afternoon.
Burke signed a $3.5 million deal with Epic US back in March and her debut album is expected to hit stores in the U.K. in October. No word on a U.S. release date yet.
HOT SONG
Alex! yes girl…love her! and the song’s nice
Great vocal production! and i guess Flo-Rida found his niche… ain’t mad at him!!! Get Dough… LOL!!!
OMG this is HOTT, that my girl Alex reppin for the UK, America people watch out, she is gonna be on your billboard! Well done on the D&G deal!!! Love the single, love Flo-Rida…amazing!!
Concrete Loop i’m interested to know what you think of the song and more importantly her singing.
i love it. go alex. hope she makes it in the states.
sounds so old ! stick to the ballads like you are good at
I see Tweamburke has arrived
HOT HOT HOT!, LOVE IT
GO ALEXANDRA, REPPING THE UK
Not feeling this just yet!!!
@ MERCEDES: i hope so too but the UK love her so she’ll still make it far anyway. if only we could be more supportive and stop looking for faults in every artist. those that want existing artsts to ‘retire’ are the same ones hating on the new ones. some people can never be satisfied with anything.
Alex is such a beautiful and talented lady and i wish her the best.
I didnt like it when i first heard it yesterday
but its a grower!, can’t stop listening to it now!!
look forward 2 her album
so proud of you Ally!
HOT!
It’s good. It could’ve gone without a rapper, but it’s still good.
Sounds like a mix of about four different songs. Definitely a bit of Katy Perry’s I Kissed A Girl. Also come S Club 7 in there. The random Flo Rida section. And maybe a bit of a Eurovision song.
THIS SONG IS WHACKKKKKKKKKK!!!! BOOOOO DOUBLE BOOOOO!!!
MAN THIS ALEX CHICK NEEDS TO COME HARDER, IF SHE WANTS TO BREAK THE STATES …
BECAUSE THIS WONT DOOOOO..
ITS GARBAGE!
ITS CHEESY LMAO, I MEAN ‘BAD BOYS’ WAT KIND OF BUBBLEGUM SHISSH IS THAT???? HER SOUND IS SOOO DATED… ANGEL AV Y’ALL GOT WORD WHO PRODUCED THIS???? BECAUSE I SURE DAMN HOPE IT AINT AN AMERICAN !!!
Poison Ivi , stfh talkin like americans dont produce shit song
um, who produced “your a jerk”, an AMERICAN, now that is a corny shit song
who produces untalented shiz frm ciara, rihanna and britney, AMERICANS.
this song IS hot
This is real bad… I agree with ya @ poison Ivy.
You can tell she is from the UK (no offence), But her voice sounds really flat, like she needs some bass up in there! LOL
I jus feel for homegirl, cos she got someones as terrible as flo-rida on her track!
Damnnn these broke down rappers will work wit anyone to make a buck
*sighs*
Its some hard tyms we be livin in
Go away poison ivy, do you come to every Alexandra Burke post just to cuss her off? Get a life instead of passing your lonely days in front of a computer screen hating on a girl who actually is somewhere. We don’t see you with a multi million dollar D&G deal, sold a million records and get exclusive $11,000 Chanel handbags from Simon Cowell do we??
It’s a good song, can’t deny that…
However when it comes to the U.S…. you can already tell what audience it caters to.
The radio stations I listen to will NOT play this type of song
I love it =D
Alexandra is great, i know shes gonna do so well !
I like this song alot. I believe it will do well
LOL @TJ JACK
THIS SONG IS FOR WHITE PEOPLE OR BLACK PEOPLE THAT ARE ‘WHITE MINDED’
NO BLACK MUSIC STATION IS GONNA BE PLAYIN THIS BULLCRAP!
AND ZACK BABY, NO BLACK ARTIST WANTS TO BE SIGNED TO SIMON COWELL, UNLESS YOUR WHITE MINDED, LIKE I STATED EARLIER…
I DARN HOPE THAT SHE HAS MORE BLACK MUSIC THEN THIS ON HER ALBUM—- OR SOMETHIN THAT SOUNDS MORE UP TO DATE, IM STILL LAUGHIN AT ITS TITLE ‘BAD BOYS’ LMFAO
OMFG
Leona doesnt produce “black music” and she went straight to number 1 across the world, AHEM
i dont know what jacked up radios you listen to, but the stations i listen to play all music.
its ok. kinda lady gagaish
wth, POSION IVY must hav sum next Alex beeper 2 let him/her kno when CL posts fings bout her. leave her and british ppl alone kmft
this is a tune! nd the americans who support her already, fanks 4 not being so racist and stereotypical lyk sum ovas hu fink they can automatically decide the success of her career kmt
it’s aight..
I think a good video could probably help this song ALOT
Actually I like her voice.
And it’s good to see that her weave is hooked up in that pic.
Er what the hell ‘white minded’ black people? what the hell are you talking about. Poison Ivy you just showed up what an ignorant uneducated bitch you are. How is this song ‘white’, you have some serious social and racial identity issues that need to be fixed if you think you need to judge music based on colour.
Zack, we don’t see Alex with a “multi million dollar D&G deal” either. D&G Junior are providing some clothes for her videos and fashion shoots. That’s a huge difference to what you’re claiming. Standard practice for many pop stars to have such endorsements.
wow poison ivy, never knew music came in colors!
WACK

The above comments have made me very embarassed. wtf is up with some of you. You all act like because she’s british she cant make it here. That’s just some bs. Who the f*ck do any of you think you are to think so highly of yourselves. Posion Ivy, you make me sick, i see you on every Alexandra post with your envy, foolishness and jealousy. I strongly believe you hate her because she’s living the life you desperately want to have. And uhm, not all tracks produced here are hot so idk what some idiots are saying, there are soo many useless songs on 106 yet yaw act like we have no flaws. Gtfoh, if there’s anything i cant stand it’s people who try and make a point without enough intelligence. Wtf is ‘black music’ or ‘white music’. MUSIC IS MUSIC, enough of the race card. Just cause she tries something different doesnt make it ‘white music’. I bet these people are the same ones who wont listen to good music just because the singers are white. Such racists.
Give these new artists a chance for once! we’re all screaming for a breath of new talent and when one comes along, some bitter people try their best to bring them down. I hope Alex’s strong enough to endure the negative vibe people have in store for her. Poor girl
@ Chris uh huh, thats why Domenico and Stefano contacted her themselves. This is way more than the ‘junior deal’ as you claim. Lets face it, Alex has hit the big bucks while you clean the aisles in Wal-Mart
she is a very talented singer, but ppl from xfactor should not try to work rnb, diddy works rnb, neyo works rnb, kerry hilson any good writer would have written better lyrics, its the lyrics that make the song stupidly unenjoyable
great vocals, I love the song, but it wouldn’t do much in the US. it’ll probably be huge across the pond tho.
I’m from da UK and this song is WACK! I was hoping for something much better.
#35 WTF…
I know you were tryin to prove your point BUT my quote you used has NOTHING to do with your argument.
I stated it was a good song. & Like you mentioned Music is Music… which is true, HOWEVER, I live in reality. There are urban stations and there are pop stations… point blank. I never said she wouldn’t make it, I just stated the obvious.
Why do think alot of artists are starting to release certain singles directly to urban stations and then other singles to pop stations?? Because the general audience that listens to those stations will identify with those songs…
Don’t get upset… its just REALITY
Love it and glad you posted it. She’s got what it takes for sure. Her voice is good btw Poison Ivy… your from america after all and didn’t watch the Xfactor, run your mouth about what you don’t know.
And also CL oughtta rid you out. You have racism coming from your ears. Bad example. But then again judging by your name, you just want to be known as a hard nut. Pretty sad really. I’d say when you walk out your door your ass is the biggest joke on the street. Go out and get some of whatever your trying to prove, cus your biggest achievement huni is bitching on a blog.
Alex is as good as any artist in the US. Most that get signed by Simon Cowell will be world class as he has a eye for talent.
Concrete Loop this is a call: PLEASE get rid of poison ivy, they whoever they are don’t deserve even to look at these posts, with their nasty ass racist comments. Must be some kind of psycho targetting all the Alexandra Burke posts and cussing her even though she’s everything they want to be. Please ban them so they can never come back!
her voice is great, that song,…not so much. Flo-Rida is soooo garbage!
it’s actually pretty good
i hate Flo-Rida though.
THIS SONG IS WHACKKKKKKKKKK!!!!
some people are never happy
i think its awesome
is she did a slow song, its too much like Leona
she does an uptempo song and yall hate, dang
Not feeling flo rida, I like her voice, but this song is too yt for me, sounds like that crap that no talent bajan churns out. she needs more soul inspired song, because she can actually sing. these kinds of song makes me want to push old people down the stairs, slap babies and kick kittens. like I said she has a really nice voice, that duet she did with Beyawnnnnnnnce had me in tears. I’m waiting on her to tap into her soul side. I know these UK artist are heavily influenced by the yt music scene.
Makes me think of Whitney Houston I Wanna Dance with somebody….But its not anything I would ever listen to more than once.
FARFRUMWACK definetly agree very “Wanna dance with somebodyISH” I think it will grow though
here comes Poison ivy again why do u hate alex this much? u always mean at her i u ain’t got nuffing positive to say about her then don’t say anything go this way
out———————>
she sings better than some successful chicks out there people who know music can tell so noboby cares about wat ur ignoraant ass thinks
this song is fine hope her ablbum is gonna make it all the best alex
ignorance is a really bad thing
this song is a grower like the comment posted earlier.
ill admit when hearing this song yesterday morning i wasnt too impressed by the lyrical content but as i listened to it more i felll in love with it the beat is sick its a mix of biology by girls aloud and womanizer by britney spears
ALEX is talented and highly anticipated!
White minded?
wow what a world we live in…
this song is a hit regardless of what anyone says
she has way too many big timers backing her so if anyone thinks thier statement is going to make her flop you must be really mistaken
.
Finally! a post with Flo Rida. don’t really like this song though.
Yay Alex!!!
It’s about damn time.
I’m so happy for Alex. Wasn’t too keen on the song on the first listen, but it’s growing on me.
What people need to realise is that this is to be released in Europe/ Australia. These type of tunes is what’s hot here at the moment. With that being said, Flo Rida is doing his thing too. His dance tracks have been doign well on the charts in the UK, which is probably why he’s featured on this track.
Obviously when she hits the states she’ll remodel her album and sound depending on who she’ll cater too.
Zack – I was quoting from her official website. I suggest you go and check your D+G facts ….
She may wanna use some of that 3 Million, and hire some new Songwriters. Girlfriend got some pipes, but in the Music Biz, its here 2day, gone tonite if u ain’t crankin’ out no hits.
It’s a nice track. Hope to hear more from her.
is he still dating auntie viv …. this gurl is new never heard of her.. she is pretty tho
This would probably be number 1 in the UK. This is a hit produced for the UK , I don’t think it would have the same effect in US.
I would like to remind everyone out there that Poison IVY does not represent all of the U.S. therefore please remember to attribute her disparaging remarks solely to her.
Now about the song-I’ve seen a couple of youtube videos of her on x-factor. I must admit I’m somewhat dissapointed by the sound of her voice in this song. She could really blow in some of those youtube videos. She’s knew to the industry so will need a little more time to find her niche. As long as she’s happy with what she’s doing, then much kudos to her. I’ll be anxiously awaiting her album.
