Alexandra Performs ‘Bad Boys’ On X-Factor (1st Live Performance!)

Published: Sunday 11th Oct 2009 by Sam

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

    she definitely just killed leona lewis, she not only has good vocal capabilities but she has stage presence.

    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!!! 🙂

    Of all the divas why did she have to pull a Mimi?

    She should not have lipped this song at all.
