Friday, August 14, 2009

Winner of UK singing competition The X Factor ‘08, Alexandra Burke heads to a Rolling Stone party Thursday night in Los Angeles, California.
The singer is currently working on her debut album, which is slated for an October release in the U.K. It was also announced recently that Burke had signed a six figure contract with Italian fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana, which would see her become the face of a new fashion line.

So when does her album drop and FYI earlier posting people, she is known in Europe not here dang only in the US are you ONLY famous if they know you in the US. And before you all start I live here too but I have a GLOBAL mind you should try it sometimes. The X Factor winner first single, Hallelujah, was the fastest-selling download ever across Europe. She is HUGE.

Is she signed with RocNation?? I read that Jay Z is producing her new album and she has been seen out to dinner with him and Beyonce. She has a beautiful voice and personality. I wish her much success. She is new so she will not look all glammed up like those that have been in the business for a while. But she is still a very pretty girl.

@ number 1: Are you for real? She is working on her album due out in few months. She is huge in the Uk. She has even won the hearts of many in the US. She sang Listen with Beyonce and won X Factor. You need to google her before you start talking crap.

Ok somebody in her camp has got to know that weave does not look good. I usually give her the benefit of the doubt, but its starting to become a regular thing.
#8 You are right… “She is huge in the UK.” But honestly, I really don’t think anyone in the US is checking for her like that, right along with Leona Lewis.
But we shall see

Ummm...

iNeed her to touch up them edges for me tho…Very good looks on the D &G deal.

Stop saying she is huge in the UK- the only reason she got to No.1 is because
X-Factor is a 13-week advert for whatever record the winner releases. Anybody could have got to No.1 with that amount of promotion.
Her song was rubbish and completely soul-less. It had no real emotion- just because you can hit a high note doesn’t mean there is any emotion in your voice when you sing.
I hope she does make it big in the US that way they can keep her and the rest of Simon Cowell’s manufactured crap.

@ #4 saying someone is “HUGE” is totally relative to the audience and the geographical location. Since (obviously) this blog primarily spotlights black AMERICAN artists, and the primary readers are AMERICAN, then obviously, most would not see her as “huge” if they even recognize who she is…
Secondly, way to state the obvious: “dang only in the US are you ONLY famous if they know you in the US” well, duh! Look, I consider myself to have a global outlook as well, but couldn’t the same be said for many “regional” celebrities? There are many Korean celebrities that I’ve never heard of, but that doesn’t make them any less “huge” in their home country. Although it’s true that many American celebs have global fan-bases, the same cannot be said for famous people from other countries, where they are primarily only known in their own country.

I am sooooo mad at this girl. She makes girls from England look busted. Trust me my weave has NEVER looked like that WOW!. Alexandra please paint your toes when you wear open toes shoes. You might have a clear one one, but it’s not doing your toes any justice love. Not a hater this girl looked BANGING when she was on x-factor. I don’t think you guys understand how far she has dropped. P.S Fix your hair line .Lace fronts are the way forward.

@20, most of the people in here are from the US first. Second, the point was stop being so narrow minded, if its not B, R, C, CB, and KH, then they act like no one exist. I am not even this girls fan but to act like because she isnt the initials about she is not worth highlighting makes this ish as bad and the wack ass white bloggers. My point is black people be better then the average other American. And I bet you can give me the names of the initials above, my point exactly.

Umm, Steupz (more like stupid judging from your comment).. JHud, Halle, Gabrielle Union (usually) and countless others are examples of how to wear a great weave. Oh let’s see. Kerry Washington. All wear some damn fine hair. No nappy fuzz exposed. Neat.

Latrina….. Girls I’m sorry to say but you’re coming off real ignorant. First, cosmetologists are trained in every hair type. It’s a requirement. In order to receive a license to do hair, you have to show you can handle all types of hair. If Blacks can do non-black hair, why not vice-versa?

someone please get this girl a new weave. she needs a stylist!!!!!

OK whoever she is I’m sure she’s talented and I wish her the best but….she needs to work the hair out. You can’t rock a natural (which I luv..I’m natural myself) and a straight do all at the same time. That’s just NOT cute!!! Work the out please before you leave the house next time chic!!!

Okay, i have to agree with some of the comments. Whilst i dont think lace fronts are the way forward i don’t think her current hairstyle is doing her any justice and this would be the worst she’s sported since winning the show.
Now, to all who don’t know her, well this is an opportunity to get to know, this site is known for breaking new artists so we should all listen before making comments… check youtube and then comment.
The comment about Simon C is ridiculous! There is many a good artist that have come out of American Idol & X Factor and it has also launched the careers of many others.
I’m still checking for her.

If you don’t know how to wear a damn weave then don’t put it in! As beautiful as she is, that weave is just horrible. You cannot show unpermed edges with long silky horse weave. It just looks stupid!
You MUST maintain your natural hair as well as the weave.
41.
Oh no she didnt
Friday, August 14, 2009 /
I hope she uses some of that 6 figures to fix them ugly a$$ toes. What is it with all these prtty girls with ugly feet? Dont people take care of themselves fully anymore. Its not cool to take care of your face and body but forget the feet. Not to mention that raggedy weave- fire your hair dresser

Why are blacks so afraid of their own hair? She’s got less than a quarter-inch of new growth and people are falling out of their seats to criticize her. Look, she’s black. Odds are, the people writing the posts about her hair are also black. And while you think lace-fronts may be your salvation, there’s no denying the truth. If you look under all of those extensions, lace-fronts and chemicals…you’ll find you roots. And just in case you’re trying to run from them…every month the hands of Africa will snatch you back.
That said, I’ve never heard her music, but I think she is beautiful.
Everybody’s not trying to fit into the same box, yo. Get free.

People Do Ur Research, Lack Of Knowledge Just Shows How Ignorant U Are. Alexandra Is Doing Big Things And Representing The UK In A Big Way. D&G How Many Black Artists Get The Chance To Do That??
And The Weave Isnt THAT Bad, Ive Seen Worse From Ur US Artists, E.g. Trina, Britney, Lil Kim, Beyonce ETC. And Just To Clear Up A Few Things, White People DO NOT Do Black Peoples Weaves, Maybe Some, But Its Very Unlikely. I Think Most Of U Actually Need To Travel Over Here, Before U Start Typin Rubbish! Next Thing U’ll Say Is That WE ALL DRINK TEA Loooool, This Is Emosh
