Alexandra Burke did okay because she can sing whereas others are not as fortunate. I think Adele is really talented and I can understand people who think her music is dull. i personally like her music because I can appreciate her voice and I don't need theatrics to be entertained by her. She's classy, not cheesy or trashy, so she won't sing or write songs about going out to party and drinking up till you pass out and stuff like that. If she has, then I haven't noticed!
