fantastic debut album

Advantages: broken heels, bad boys
Disadvantages: bury me. not bad at all just my least favourite song on here

this is a fantastic start of what i'm sure will be a life-long career in music for alexandra burke. her first singe "hallelujah" which was released just after she won the x factor features on here as a bonus track and her second, in my opinion phenominal single "bad boys" kicks this album off to a t! it's the sort of music that makes you want to get up and dance, or even to have a boogie to whilst doing the housework! My ratings of the songs Bad ...
...- a very powerful and moving ballad bury me: 3/5 broken heels: 5/5 dumb: 5/5 overcome: 4/5 gotta go: 5/5 you broke my heart: 4/5 nothing but the girl: 4/5 they don't know: 4/5 hallelujah: 5/5 overall this is not at all what i expected from alexandra! a mostly up-beat album but in places she does her ballads to show you what a fantastic talent she really is! ...

...Imagine What He'd Be Like If He Was Always With Us

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: One weak track

“Attention Deficit” was released in 2009 and came as the long-awaited debut album from the Washington, D.C. rapper Wale. It find that Alternative Hip Hop artist comign with a record that has him attempting to find some kind of way of introducing a D.C. sound in Hip Hop, with its regional Go-Go musical style being introduced through this, but has this as one of many main places to work from as he is known to work in the Hipster Rap field, and so relies ...
...to attempt to make heavy singles that will gain him attention. Known for his work with Mark Ronson, he features as a production contributor, with other notable beat offerings coming from the likes of Cool & Dre, Dave Sitek and The Neptunes. 1. “Triumph” (Intro) 2. “Mama Told Me” Off a pretty fly introductory piece, in which he introduces himself and gives quite a lot of different twists to show just how many layers there are to his music (including ...

Review of Attention Deficit - Wale

Non X Factor winners that achieve 2 number one singles!!

Disadvantages: Quite girly and lovey dovey!

***ABOUT JLS*** JLS appeared on the X Factor last year and although they didn’t win they got a record contract with Epic records and have since released 2 singles which have both reached number one. Their first album was released a few weeks ago and is called ‘JLS’. The band features 4 male members which include Marvin, JB, Aston and Oritse. JLS are only the second non-winning X Factor contestants to achieve a number one single. ***THE ALBUM*** ...
...Again – This song was JLS first single and reached number 1 in the charts. This song has a strong beat to the music and I find the song quite catchy. The song talks about losing someone (I presume a girlfriend) and that you both should get back together. This song has a catchy chorus and I often find myself singing along to it when it comes on the radio. Everybody In Love – This is JLS most recent single and again it reached number 1 in the charts. ...

Review of JLS - JLS

Incredibly annoying song, by an incredibly annoying woman

Advantages: Good as a tea coaster
Disadvantages: everything, can't sing live

...Cole the week after performs Fight for this love. The following week they are both Number 1. Robbie Williams didn't have as much luck, possibly as the song isn't brilliant and he sang live. I still find it hard to believe a judge on a singing competition can just get up and mime her own song. If I was a contestant and she criticised my vocal abiliity, I'd say "At least I'm singing." It is a song that is getting overplayed, and I feel Cheryl cole ...
...of David Beckham with adverts all wanting her to promote their products. I am just not keen on the woman, as a judge nor as a credible singer, though I have always liked girls aloud. I can remember when Milli Vannili got slaughtered for miming in the 1980's. That was slightly different as someone else was singing. I just think if a singing contests promotes miming, then the contest itself has lost all credibillity as the singers will win, just ...

Review of Fight for This Love - Cheryl Cole

Good Girl Gone Bad?

Advantages: Edgier, more grown up sound
Disadvantages: Lacks the variety of her previous album, may alienate some of her younger fans

...has she caved with her Rated R album? Up until the release of Good Girl Gone Bad I was a fan of Rihanna’s and had previously purchased all her albums but to me she was simply another conventional mainstream R&B artist that rise as quickly as they fall but with the help of mentor Jay Z she’s changed public opinion on her and become a worthy rival to the likes of Beyonce. The album begins subtly with the synthy beats of Mad House, this track is definitely ...
...guidance rating however the title Rated R evidently means more than previously expected. One surprise that I found when listening to this album is that it doesn’t feature her recent collaboration with Jay Z and Kanye West, Run This Town reached number one in the charts and something that I find a lot is that if the artist only featured on the song they will remix it to add more of their vocals so it can feature on their album. Ashanti is someone ...
