Ever wonder what a Rihanna track sounds like with an actual singer singing it? Well, wonder no more, as British Pop force Alexandra Burke has tackled Fenty’s ‘Talk That Talk’ in an exclusive new acoustic.
Find out how the ‘Elephant’ singer fared below…
A restrained, yet solid showing from Ms. Burke. Although, we must say we prefer when she unleashes her powerful vocals. Case, point…
Your thoughts?
Just brilliant, Alexandra can do no wrong, her vocals are sublime. Keep downloading Elephant in Ireland up to 11 on itunes.
That was s***.
wellllllltllllllll whatever
I see all the Rihanna Navy up in here crying because Alex slayed Rihanna and her auto-tune assisted vocals. Rihanna should stick to slutty underwear commercials and leave the singing to people like Miss Burke.
SLAYED!!!!
I want to like Alexandra. I think she’s beautiful and she can sing, but….egh.
i wondered what the elephant song would sound like live. am surprised that its like the electrol version. well done alex. i watched her in brighton last year and she sounded fantastic live. great vocals.
No shade but it goes without say, much betta
lmao not a patch on riri. u mad??
how dar you even utter such nonsense. comparing a blip to a superstar lwowl
@MIA hun, Alex can actually sing live… don’t even go there boo, I’ll snatch ya weave. Did you see Ri’s messy performance of TTT on JR? PMSL… purlease!
@Mia
No but can Rihanna (the superstar) sing?
Ooops, case closed.
Dont bother responding to Mia she is sadly that pathetic fool Toya from Toyaz world, she has an irrational hate for Alex. Alex did do an acoustic session for Eelphant.

090,
check riri’s credentials & compare #oooops
danny,
yeah u mad. mad Ri sh*ts all over basicness n’ is sittin tight on her throne
she ain’t gonna cover anything this bish has in catalogie, that’s fo’sho lmao
BETTER THAN ORIGINAL
This is a good version of a really bad song. To be honest i don’t think anyone can save this poor excuse of a song. Alex looked good.
@MIA your hating ass is boring.It was boring in 2009,2010,2011 and now. Nothing you say is constructive, it’s just tripe!
I certainly in no Rihanna Navy but that really was a weak cover! Rihanna’s tone suits the song.
You keep labeling Alex as a power house vocalist yet she failed to nail such a simple song by an artist you claim can’t sing.
I personally like Rihanna’s voice and I think by saying she can’t sing is just being pathetic… Rihanna by no means is a Beyonce type of vocalist, but neither is Alex
Of all the songs on God green earth she chose that?
I know this has nothing to do with this topic apart from the X factor connection but I know SAM will read it. Sam. If you know your girl Kelly Rowland or her people please tell her and her people these three things:
1. Simon, X Factor production, the UK public and the other 3 judges DO NOT WANT YOU BACK
2. Stop commenting. Just don’t talk especially not to say you want to come back because desperation is unattractive. She is clearly not media savvy.
3. the excess weight your have gained? You’ll need to be back to your pre op weight to stand any chance of a possible return.
I just hate to see a beautiful black woman make herself look silly at the expense of some slimey queens like Simon, Louis and Tulisa.
I’m sorry but that cover was horrible. Alex can sang but this song suits Rihanna voice. Alex voice does not sound good singin this. Rihanna version is better.
@IMO I completely agree with you. Rihanna’s voice is amazing to me, especially on We Found Love. Only she can pull off a track like Talk That Talk. Sorry. Quit hating on Rihanna, Sam and everyone else! No, I’m not Rihanna Navy — it’s all about the music for me, and Rihanna’s music is epic compared to most artists out there right now. She may have a tough time singing live, but who cares. I hate live music anyway because 9 times out of 10 the studio version sounds way better.
I Dont understand why Alex has dont this
i like Alex but why is she covering a brand new Rihanna song? it sounds as if shes struggling to expand her fan base and is using the Rihanna awareness to bring attention to her own music, but dont remember Madonna covering janet jackson songs, or Rihanna covering britney spears songs the minute they came out. Alex needs to focus more on her own material
AWw man, it’s not available in Canada!!!
