UK singer Alexandra Burke took the stage on ‘So You Think You Dance’ today. The ‘X Factor’ winner performed ‘Broken Heels’, the third release from her ‘Overcome’ LP. To date, ‘Broken Heels’ has peaked at #12 in the UK.
Other than the fact that she was singing over a very loud backtrack, Burke delivered a solid performance. She has a lot of stage presence and it was good to see her utilising the entire stage instead of remaining glued to one spot like her other British counterpart, Leona Lewis. Hopefully she uses her voice more in future performances because she seems to have a strong dependence backtracks.

A hot mess. This b**** can’t perform. Need to take tips from Cassie. This flop ass h** needs to go back to obscurity where she belongs.
LOL Trent, you always find something to criticize. You know when someone is doing that much dancing its practically impossible to sing every single note. Especially with all the “oh oh ohs” and backing vocals. She’s one of the best singer/dancer combinations out there ALREADY so I think you just need to step back and give her props. Even Beyonce does the same. This performance is about the whole performance and especially the dancing, yes she has a great voice but if you want to listen to it then go here: http://www.mtv.co.uk/shows/mtv-push/episode/mtv-push-alexandra-burke?$171300$
She was amazing! This is So You Think You Can Dance, not So You Think You Can Sing, so I don’t have a problem with her miming. She brought it with the dancing and the performance as a whole. We all know she can sing so I don’t get what the big fuss is with her miming
And @sammy flop ass ho? She has had 2 no.1 singles and a no.1 album, Broken Heels is moving up nicely and she’s one of the best performers out there. I suggest you take your vulgar hating back to the hole where you belong.
Agreed KYU, and it’s not like she mimes everything. The vast majority of her Broken Heels and bad boys performances have actually been live.
Sorry this is what you call dancing, as Cassie demonstrates to her hit ‘Official Girl’

@Tom when Alex can get nearly a million sales on the back of 2 singles like Cassie then you can disrespect her.
Nothing Alex has done, and ever will do, will be as good as Cassies future mega world wide smash it ‘Skydiver’ of her album ‘Electro Love’ out this year. Check ‘Skydiver’ out below

BORRRRING!!!!! BLACK EYE PEAS LIKE LYRICS WITH NO FUNKY BEAT OR FERGIE. NEXT. SHE’S DONE. KEEP HER ACROSS THE POND WE HAVE ENUFF CRAPPY MUSIC IN THE US. WE DONT NEED MORE. HAHA.
It h*** like Alex who probably gotta suck d*** for tracks. Coz we know she aint got no talent to be gettin any songs.
that was THE BOMB! she smashes it!!
this diva is hot & fierce! looved her performance!
@Sammy HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I thought you were taking the p*** when you mentioned cassie HAHAHAHAHA The pure irony is that Cassie is the talentless one AND the one sleeping (with Diddy) for tracks. GTFO! When Cassie learns the meaning of talent then you can talk. 😉 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@Truth(aka false) maybe you should listen to some more of her music especially “The Silence” becoz right now you are talking straight out of your ass!
@HBOSS
Ummmm it wasn’t the bomb, that s*** is not fierce and the performance was s***. Alex could never dance like Cassie below

When Alex can perform like this (keep in mind this was her first performance and she was nervous). Then Alex can talk.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x19rx6_cassie-ft-yung-joc-me-you-bet-live_fun
The crowd were really hyped for Cassie
Nothing she does will be as good as Cassies material. She will never have a times classic and s*** hit like ‘Don’t Go Too Slow’. Alex can’t do s*** songs coz she pure ugly as hell

at least today they have other news apart from Rihanna…. Grapejuice people please give us news more news who is helping our haitian bro and sis but you constantly write stuff about rihanna why? i know this is your blog but know one thing pls… toyas-world.net was constantly doing the same thing writting on rih and the end result was bad, very BAD, her website was closed, KARMA. but before the closure of that site many people begged her to stop posting about rih everyday so you guys at grapejuice please STOP IT. we love you all.
I must say i was entertained!
Charisma , Check!
Sexiness, Check!
Stage Presence, Check!
Entertaining, Check!
i will be checking for Miss. Alex when she crosses to the US!
Charisma , FAIL!
Sexiness, DOUBLE FAIL!
Stage Presence, FAIL!
Entertaining, FAIL!
Did not entertained me one bit. Flop ass b****.
leona in my opinion only has to stand there and sing and doesnt need to dance to give a solid performance. unlike alex who is known for her dance routines, so dont compare u lowlife. and im not even gna go into the whole cassie i suck diddy d*** to get my money lmao, no talent w****
the performance was ok
@ MATT
u bitter? y its sat…
LEONA can’t dance, she knows that. SHe is strictly a vocalist. It’s nothing wrong w/ her standing in one place, if she gone SANG her ass off. WTF she supposed to do anyway singing ballad’s? Heel toe? & if she walked around, she still wouldn’t be doin s***, she’s just be walkin around stage sanging, same difference. Not much improved. ALEX DID GREAT BTW, Girl is a performer!
@ MATT you didn’t just disrespect my girl Cassie? HELL NO. I swear if people keep dissin her on this site imma go crazy and break my computer.
I’ve come to the conculsion that yall hate on Cassie coz yalls is jealous. There aint no other explanation for it. Yall also jealous coz alexandra is fat and cassie is nice and s***. Cassie is also better than that fat b**** beyonce and that goat sound w**** rihanna. Cassie can also sing better than ms nearly on her way to be fat LEona lewis
I see flop written all over this chick, we dont need one more “artist” like this, GIVE US SOMETHING NEW FOR F*** SAKE
Sammy, we don’t need scrubs like U, Get a life!
It is only a matter of time before Beyonce considers her a threat. How many R&B chicks out there bring that much stage presence?
CASSIE IS WHACK
u smashin yo computer yet sammy. cassie is a nobody and it looks like your tryna prove she is by dissing some of the biggest names out there now, leona fat, alex fat, bey fat, ok then, LOWLIFEE. wheres cassie been since she had two hit songs then FADEDD. lol.
The performance was very good!i found her boring before but i think i will give a listen her album,i hope there wont be s***** songs like bad boys cuz that song is terrible!
I love Cassie Sammy but nobody cares if you break your computer. By all means do. That is all…
Cassie is AMAZING!
THIEF!
I dunno Holara .
Thievery!!!
I love that performance. I cant wait until she releases her album stateside because I’ll definitely be picking up.
she kinda blow’s
jdm swap
I see she stole a page out of beyonce and gaga style. I see you doin the c****** crunch and the shoulder pads. I don’t blame her though u only learn from the best. The performance was mediocore at best. Nothing special.
@sammy u are one delusional fool. Im starting to think you’re cassie smh cassie was and will always be a flop remember that.
I think she actually did good! It did look like she borrowed from Queen Bey and Gaga, I’m glad she made it her own. I don’t think she should be compared to Leona tho cuz they are two entirely different people. Leona fits into the category of Mariah and Whitney and Celine–people that are strictly vocalists and do not have to move that much.
~Dead at Sammy tho…the fact that you’re over here putting up links to OFFICIAL GIRL a single that was released in 2008 and STILL was never attached to an actual album is laughable. The single even failed to chart, lmao…even Weezy couldn’t help her non-singin’ a$$…and aint she f*ckin’ Diddy? So how is she a credible artist to compare to Alex?
Please refrain from bein’ haterz cuz you kno we only live vicariously through celeb pics and we do not kno the lives of any of these artists!
She is AMAZING. And people, y’all know Sammy is messin around! No one I’m their right mind would seriously put the word ‘hit’ and ‘official girl’ in the same sentence…
Broken Heels is only out from today on download and physical release tomorrow, the album version is at 12 and it will go into the Top 10 today.A song cannot peak prior to release.She was singing to a backing track and she was great.Please download it we want another No 1 for Alex.
Frank Gatson Jr who is Beyonce choreagrapher is working with Alex.Please ban Sammy he is too ignorant and stupid he nveer has anything to say that is sensible.I wonder if your parents are proud of you Sammy you are such a lowlife.Alex is great and she will be doing promo in the US this year look out for her.
@Sammy – yet again, Cassie only sold 98,000 worldwide of her first album – even by this year…
FLOP FLOP FLOP..
all I can hope is that ur taking the p***….
Because we all know both Official Girl and Must be Love failed to chart ANYWHERE – noone even remembers this girl. Skydiver IS a good track – or WAS until she started singing. Her album wil come out, flop again, and that will be the last we hear of her…
Thank God,
And OMG at Shelly-Chelle bout Sammy being Cassie – that would make so much sense.
She’s already been called out for posting on stuff bout herself over on Concrete loop.
HAHAHAAA
Good performance from Alex, but I hope she ditches Beyonce’s choreographer.
@sammy…i didnt know who the hell was cassie before i read ur comments but now u made me know her…thx for that but if she has fans like u im not interested…i just feel sorry for u…
@ Some1 damn right I ride hard for Cassie getting b****** like you to recognise her . Thats how me and the many Cassie fans do.
@Thaphoenix. Your a mess. Cassie actually sold 895, 000 copies of her debut to be precise. Don’t know where you got your wrong ass sales from.
@Chantal. Sorry hyn but you can’t ban me from telling the truth. That’s why the mods aint done s*** when ppl been asking to ban me…..coz they probably agree with me.
@KYUS93. Dont even try and suggest im playin. THats offends me. I ride hard for Cassie.
@Misty. Cassie is credible. Not many can sale 895,000 on the back of 2 singles. More than alex ‘the flop as fat h**’ has.
Official Girl was a hit. Everyone i know was bumpin that s*** at the time. Certified banger it was.
@Shelly-Chelle…….girl I aint got nothing to say to u apart from….your a hot mess
I didnt see anything special about that performance
and that song didnt do anything for me either
@TOM THANKS FOR PROVIDING THAT LINK! IF YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS GOOD @TOM, LOOK UP HER PERFOMRING IT ON THE O’GRADY SHOW. ITS AMAZING! THIS GIRL Soo EXTRAORDINARY. AND WILL DEFINITELY STAND OUT OF THE CROWD AS SHE IS ALREADY BEGINNING TO! SHE’S CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE U.S VERSION OF OVERCOME HER -FRESHMAN LP! FOR A SINGERS FIRST LP TO HAVE BEEN THIS POWERFUL AND THIS SHOCKINGLY EMOTIONAL , THERE REALLY IS NO OTHER JUSTIFICATION THAN TO SAY THAT SHE IS TRULY TALENTED VOCAL TALENT! RIGHT UP THERE WITH AGUILERA. AND SHE IS A TRUE PERFORMER AT THE SAME TIME.. AND FOR THE PERSON WHO POSTED THIS BLOG STATING THAT SHE NEEDS TO USE LESS BACKUP.. YOU OBVIOUSLY DON’T DO YOUR HISTORY AND ACTUALLY WATCH HER OTHER PERFORMANCES WHERE 90% OF THE TIME THERE SUNG LIVE!!! THIS WAS ONE OF FEW PERFORMANCES WHERE IT WAS ACTUALLY USED. AND SHE IS GRANTED THAT AS A SINGER WHEN ALMOST ALL OF HER CONTEMPORARIES OR COMPETITION ARE ALL SINGING WITH BACKUP OVER 90% OF THE TIME.. AND EVEN WITHOUT COMPARING HER TO THEM, SHE IS STILL GRANTED THAT WITH AS MUCH AS SHE DOESN’T USE IT COMPARED TO HOW MUCH THEY ALL DO. YOU CAN BE SUCH A HYPOCRITE AT TIMES IN YOUR BLOGS, BUT YOUR HUMAN, SO YOUR FORGIVEN JUST LIKE THE REST OF US.. ANYWAY, BACK TO BURKE… THIS GIRL CAME FROM CLOSE TO NOTHING LIVING IN A SMALL APARTMENT IN THE POOR PART OF LONDON ENGLAND AND ROSE THROUGH AND DOMINATED X FACTOR 2008. HER ALBUM WAS ALREADY RELEASED IN THE U.K. AND WILL BE RELEASED IN THE U.S. IN MARCH. SHE IN MY OPINION, IS ALREADY MAKING OTHER ARTISTS IN THE INDUSTRY A LITTLE TWITCHY.. SO, LOOK FOR HER.. TRUST ME, I FEEL THAT SHE’S GONNA BE BIG. RIGHT ALONGSIDE AGUILERA AND HER COMEBACK.. AND GOOD LUCK CASSIE.. WE KNOW YOUR VOICE IS GETTING BETTER, WE KNOW YOUR BEAUTIFUL, AND WE KNOW YOU CAN DANCE SOMEONES HEAD OFF THERE SHOULDERS WITH LITTLE EFFORT AT ALL, BUT @SAMMY, YOU COME OFF AS SUCH A SCHOOL KID WITH A VERY CLOSE MINDED APPROACH TRYING TO PUT DOWN TRUE UP AND COMING TALENT IN THE NAME OF PROMOTING CASSIE, BUT PEOPLE DON’T LISTEN TO ONE PERSON WHO TALKS LIKE THAT.. THEY WATCH THE PERFORMANCES, AND JUDGE FOR THEMSELVES.. MY PREDICTION ALEXANDRA BURKE TO SLAY ALONGSIDE AGUILERA IN 2010. THERE GONNA BE THE TWO TOP DOGS COMPETING.. LADIE GAGA WILL bE THROWN IN AND OUT OF THE MIX WITH BEYONCE, BOYLE, AND KEYS.. GOOD LUCK TO THE REST…. SOME OF YOU DESERVE IT, BUT ITS GONNA BE HARD!!!!
Love you Kodieblue you are a true fan and a gentle soul-God Bless you
