Alexandra Burke | Overcome

[Shooter]

En effet, elle enlève direct les vêtements pour faire son chemin aux States

 

Elle a sûrement envie qu'on la différencie de Leona

[Jojo.]

Elle a sûrement envie qu'on la différencie de Leona

 

En lisant ton post et celui avant le tien, j'ai bien l'impression que c'est ça. Bon après on est ptet parano mais il est clair selon moi qu'il existe une certaine rivalité entre Alexandra et Leona d'après ce que j'ai pu lire sur certains forums UK.

Première radio : Mardi matin.

 

Ouuuuuf.

Ca a intérêt à être mieux que I Did It For Love quand même. è_é

 

 

 

Pour la photo, disons qu'il y a pas 10.000 moyens pour elle d'aller où elle veut aller.

[Lycia]

Comme je l'ai déjà dit avant,

si elle sait remuer son popotin, pourquoi elle s'en priverai?!

Par contre pas du tout fan de sa nouvelle coupe, vivement mardi!

[Wilhelmina]

C'est sûre que le changement va être radical entre ce nouveau single et "Halleluha"

Ca va faire un choc quand même ! pourvu que le son soit bon, avec Flo-Rida, c'est quitte ou double !

[Baby Junkie]

Think of 'Hallelujah', then think of the opposite.

 

Some important points here, in no particular order:

 

» The single is called 'Bad Boys' and it features US rap gentleman Flo Rida.

 

» The writing credits are Larry Summerville Jr, Busbee, Lauren Evans and Alexander James. The song is produced by The Phantom Boyz.

 

» The song's intro is a brilliant hybrid of the intros to Britney's 'Womanizer' and Girls Aloud's 'Biology' (ie it's quite noisy and exciting sounding) except with Flo Rida shouting over the top and a demented elasticated siren effect bouncing from speaker to speaker. The track's definitely in the same ball park as things like 'Womanizer', but with a slightly more euphoric disco feel.

 

» 'Bad Boys' is about Alexandra fancying dangerous men. "Some people call them players but I'm far from terrified," she says in the song's opening lines, "somehow I'm drawn to danger and have been all my life." The nature of these boys' actual 'badness' is not specifed. We're not sure if it's Josef Fritzl level badness or just 'has three points on his driving licence after doing 37 in a 30 zone'. Probably the latter, on reflection. Still, imagine the video for the former.

 

» The chorus has a really strong melodic topline - the lyrics are "the bad boys are always catching my eye, the mad boys are always spinning my mind, even though I know they're no good for me it's the risk I take for the chemistry, and the bad boys are always catching my eye".

 

» This is NOT A BALLAD. This is THE OPPOSITE OF A BALLAD. (Mind you it would probably lend itself quite well to one of those stripped down piano versions that seem to be all the rage these days.) We estimate this song to be about 140bpm and HIGHLY DANCEABLE. Alex's vocals sound very Whitneyish in parts and this is the sort of song we'd like to imagine Donna Summer coming out with if she was twenty years old in 2009. Sadly she is not twenty years old in 2009. She is far older.

 

» Flo Rida is in two parts of this song - the intro ("FLO RIDA! ALEXANDRA GIRL I KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE!" yeah alright calm down mate) and the middle eight. The middle eight is Flo explaining to the listener to just what an extent Alexandra Burke is actually fond of 'bad boys' and badness in general. One particularly earth-shattering moment comes with the announcement that "with even the alphabet she only sings the crooked letters". (Amazing.)

 

» In terms of vocal acrobatics 'Bad Boys' has a singy chorus but it's not a 'look at me I'm a singer' chorus, and the same goes for the rest of the track. It works briliantly - sometimes we can't help but feel (this is probably just us but still) that there's something quite exciting about an incredible singer being forced to follow a very strong and melodic topline instead of going all over the show. It's like pop singer bondage. *Cut to shot of Eoghan Quigg wanking with orange in mouth*

 

» There's no fade at the end, just an amazing BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BAD BOYS BAD BOYS which will hopefully be accompanied by an eyebrow-burning quantity of pyrotechnics when Alexandra turns up to The X Factor in order to warble the tune on the day of its release.

 

» 'Bad Boys' is out on October 12. As is the modern way, Alexandra has also recorded an 'album' - a dozen or so songs grouped together - and that will be released on October 26. You can hear 'Bad Boys' tomorrow morning on Chris Moyles' Radio One breakfast show.

 

» We have listened to this song 41 times since it arrived in the post earlier today. It's basically brilliant.

 

Voilà ce qu'en dit Pop Justice... Ca peut me plaire.

[Lycia]

Alléchant tout ça, même trop, je sens la déception venir...

[Eyesonme]

Donc si j'ai bien compris on aura la chanson au minimum en mauvaise qualité demain?

[Jojo.]

Oui c'est bien ça

[Petit Prince]

A la 1ère écoute, le titre est très bon... à part la partie de Flo Rida qui ne sert à rien.

 

On est à des années lumière des 1ers singles de ces prédécésseurs.

 

EDIT: * La maison de disques est passée sur YouTube: plus de vidéo lol *

[1-Up]

Quel refrain !

Non, franchement, la chanson est à la hauteur des critiques. J'adore vraiment. Le son de distorsion est trop catchy !!

Puis Flo Rida ne gâche pas trop le tout, heureusement. Finalement, il est assez peu présent dans le titre.

[Guilauw']

Le titre a été supprimé...

 

Un moyen de l'écouter?
