Alexandra Performs ‘Bad Boys’ On X-Factor (1st Live Performance!)
Alexandra Burke gave the first live performance of her brand new single ‘Bad Boys’ moments ago on the first results show of this year’s X-Factor (which we will be reviewing shortly).
Put simply, Alexandra nailed it! I mean ‘ball out of the park’ nailed it! I was particularly impressed, as she sold me a song that I’m not really feeling with this performance. It’s important to note that, as a student of Mariah and la Janet’s live performances, I’m pretty cert Ms. Burke lip-synched the majority of the performance to a pre/re-recorded version of the track (with all the added breathing and other live-sounding effects). That said, knowing that she can sing like this live on any given day, I’m not too fussed at the utilisation of a pre-recorded track here. Watching this cemented the fact that she’ll be around for a long while…
What do you think of the performance?

No I think this is 100% live, of course their a backing track but i think she’s live..there is a slight lag in the video is you watch the beginning and u can hear her voice not do certain things as clear as the track…If it was Bey sam wouldnt even question lyping but since its not he has too..Such a shame.
Great Job Alex

Awesome performance. I love Alex and can’t wait for the album to drop on the 19th. She is great performer and I think that sets her apart from a lot of other British females in the biz at the mo…. I predict BIG things for this girl…. she deserves it!!!
