No, Mike those of us here in the U.K. are most certainly not indifferent to Alex. Thank you for putting some facts out there, Scott.

As I read it, apparently Scyo didn't want The Silence to be released, at all, but Alex pushed for it to be put out. It is only available on download. I'm glad that she went to bat for this track, for it surely shows what she can do with her voice.

This girl can truly sing; I'm so glad that she wasn't deterred when she first applied to be on X Factor, at the age of 16, didn't make the final cut, but came back for some more 3 years later.

Patience, all! She's U.S. bound, next year! I'm looking forward to Alex's second album, and Leona's third album, both of which are due out in 2011.

Finally, I admire Toni a great deal, but Alexandra is not the British version of her, or any other singer, American, or otherwise.

Alexandra is just Alexandra, and no comparison to anyone else, is needed or required!
