Alexandra Burkes new song

[cqueen]

'Start without you' The only way I can describe this is...

Imagine a new 'pirate themed' resteraunt opened up in your area and made a bad jingle for local radio, one of those ones that sticks in your brain and irritates you for the rest of the day.

Seriously, this is awful awful music (although I can see kids tv programmes/adverts using it all the time).

Discuss.

Horrible song, but catchy. But how fit does she look in bits of the video?!

[Slagathore]

Complete and utter gash!

I expect she just sings whatever the record label puts in front of her.

[robsco]

The "put down your cup" lyric makes me cringe.

[cqueen]

I thought it was a joke holiday record from the eighties when I first heard it.

Now, when I hear it as I walk through the factory it makes me physically nauseous. Its worse than "the Wanted" record which is also shop floor commercial radio fodder.

I can't work out how the song fits with video...

The video's a cheap bad Beyonce rip-off... And the song.. well.

Cr*p song but have you seen the video - my god does she look good. Never been a fan of her aesthetically but for some bizarre reason she does it for me in this video !

I heard this by accident the other day and its structure seems to be very much based on the rhythmn of a children's playground nursery rhyme.

As the target marcket for this type of music is probably 11 to 12 year old girls, I'm not surprised that it sounds like this.

One of the worst things I've ever heard, only made worse by the completely misplaced rent-a-rap in the middle.
