by **NoAngels** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 7:50 pm

This is actually not as good as her previous efforts :-?

Falling pretty quick on the pop bars

75% of Gotye to 69% in the last few hours...

Ha! Radio 1 have FINALLY given in! "Elephant" has been added to the B-list!

It's still #2 in the midweeks today too.

Delighted they finally playlisted it. They're dicks for not doing it sooner. Hopefully this will help its chart run

by **mykka** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 6:03 pm

She's proven she doesn't need R1 or Capital to play her songs to get hits it seems. Pretty remarkable

by **steophonic** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 7:35 pm

Look at Radio 1 with it's tail between it's legs!

Better late than never - hopefully it might hang around the top 10 a bit now!

Although the elephant in this topic right now is that she has fallen to #5 on iTunes with Emeli Sande and Flo Rida overtaking her (disappointing.com)

HAHAHA! As if they added it, I seriously still didn't think they'd go near it with a barge pole! She's well and truly owned them 8-)

The E.P. must be doing well too as well as the remixes(?)

Anything less than #1 for this is a floop in my eyes. This deserved the biggest first week sales YTD!

This is now officially my favorite song she ever done. It's just brilliant. I keep it on repeat since it first leaked 2 months ago.

NEWS JUST IN

Good news:
She's TRENDING on Twitter!

Bad news:
They're mostly "I hate Alexandra Burke" tweets

-

WTF - she's on some TV show, what's she doing? :-?

Why do people seem to hate her so much?

She is loud & arrogant. I like her songs but she doesn't come across very well.

Lol at radio 1 adding it!!! Bitches better know!!! At least now it will get radio play! Her first single to be playlists since broken heels

by **cabanaboy** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 10:49 pm

soooo much hate on twitter. What is going on? What did she say!

by **djedwardsmith** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 10:56 pm

Lol at you all taking shots at Radio 1 for adding it to the playlist, damned if they do (you're whinging claiming some sort of moral victory) and damned if they don't (you'd be whinging that the songs lack of success is down to them).

Fact is, she's not liked by an awful lot of people, be it for her attitude, appearance, or just generally. You can sugarcoat it any which way you want.

Haters gon' hate for sure on Twitter...

Alexandra Burke could give an aspirin a headache

alexandra burke reminds me of a horse on cocaine

Alexandra Burke is just one of those people i'd love to repeatedly punch in the face #celebjuice

Watching Alexandra Burke on Celebrity Juice, I really don't like this woman she looks like an exotic bird”can't stand her!!

I liked Alexandra Burke before she were on celebrity juice.

^ And those are the good tweets!

I do still stand by what I said about it being dated - it's like something Taio Cruz was doing in 2009.

HOWEVER - i've been playing it loads this week and really like it now :lol:

She needs some media training.

Not particularly, I watched it and thought she came across quite well - she was being quite fun.

I can see why people dislike her though, she has a certain confident manner about herself that people might not like.

by **Loveguru** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 6:59 am

She will be huge in the states with that person though :cry:

Its arrogance. This song however is amazing even if the video isn't. Hope it can hit number 1 at some point.

Haven't seen Celebrity Juice yet!

I don't think she's arrogant and never have - she's just very confident. In the UK especially, a lot of people don't like that because many people have their own issues and to see somebody who is happy with themselves the knee-jerk reaction is to slate them as arrogant and annoying. Yes she can be over the top and excitable but I think she seems a really nice, fun person who doesn't take herself too seriously and is totally herself regardless.

Anyway:

Code: Select all: SYCO_NEWS ? @SYCO_NEWS Buy the brilliant new single,'Elephant' from @alexandramusic here; http://bit.ly/w3Fdpo

Great to see them supporting her, they obviously parted amicably.
