Alexandra Burke has paid homage to her fellow Brit Pop sister Adele by covering her hit ‘Rolling In The Deep’. Performing the track at a concert in Vietnam, the X Factor winner once again proved her worth as a vocalist.
Check out her showing, a duet with American Idol winner David Cook, below…

She did ok, But nowhere near Adele.
i thoroughly enjoyed that, alex is a budding performer but vietnam though? what’s that about? *in madonna voice* 😀
Not even near to adele’s version.
and her stage presence is horrible…
@Bey’Knight
You’re retarded… the reason they or any artist would tour overseas in 2nd or 3rd world countries is they are willing to pay tons more than their UK or US promoter counterparts to get the same acts there. In Moscow, tickets for A-list acts can range from $300 (nosebleed seats) to over $3K for front row.
Great performance. I think she’s severely underrated by a lot of people, I don’t know why people always try to down play her talent.
It would be amazing if she supported Beyoncé on her next tour.
Every year Hennessy artistry organises for Western acts to perform in Asia last year Mike Posner did it and this year it was Alex and David Cook.How can anyone sing it as well as Adele but Alex always performs and has great stage prescence.They sound good together.
@ JUDAS666
i’ve seen your comments on tgj…..you dont get to call anyone retarded, well maybe perrylicious but thats really scraping the bottom of the barrel. if you dont understand sarcasm ….. put a cork in it
There is nothing to fight about Bey’Knight and Judas. I wondered why she was in Vietnam as well and looked it up.The Asian market is growing and they are huge fans of western popstars.

@Scott
exactly, my whole point was that vietnam is a bit random and out of the blue. of course i know artistes put on exclusive performances here and there, @JUDAS666 is just bein a sour puss, eff him!
The lowered key sounds real odd
Adeles singing is overrated honestly. Whenever you get a white soul singer people always want to act like theyre some second coming or something well I have new for you, shes great but overrated! I will however say that Jessie J deserves the praise that she is getting.
Demi…true sentiment, however i’d switch those around. It’s Jessie J who is overated, and has a ‘manufactored’ soul act going on. ..kinda like X-tina. Adele is soulful, but it isn’t mimicking black soul, as you’d never confuse the two!
she is beautiful..i give her that..
….They already giving out 4G Cellphones..but ONLY if you live in United States..i got 2..sent 1 to my mom house & 1 to my dorm..lol http://goo.gl/LlL9g
only Adele can perfectly nail this song. kudos to her. all these other singers always strain and have a hard time singing this song while Adele is perfectly at ease, calm and composed. other artists trying to the song just makes u see how good Adele is.
@ Bey’ Knight
now u see how it feels when someone out of the blue agresses u for no reason.
For those who keep saying it’s no where near adele’s version is dumb! Obviously it’s not gonna be near adele, only adele can sing like adele. It’s called a cover for a reason people. It’s when artist put their own twist onto a song, and that’s exactly what Alex and David did and it was absolutely amazing. So stop comparing!
While I do agree that Adele’s singing is extremely overrated, no one can sing her songs way she does and I wish they would just stop trying. However Alex didn’t do too bad, better than John Legend’s rendition which I hate with a burning passion, almost as much as the KKK hate black people.
Adele is Adele ans since she wrote the song she wouldn’t have any differculty singing it. Nonetheless, both Alexandra and David are excellent singers and their take of the song was amazing and Alexandra has plenty of stage presence.
@ TR
if u’d been following Christina since her beginnings, u would know that her label didn’t want her to do soul, she did it out of her own initiative. she is far from “manufactured soul”.
But could Adele sing The Silence by Alexandra? Nope.
There must be a better quality video than this.David and Alex put this together last minute to close the show they did not have much rehersal time.It was a really good effort on there part.I think Adele is an excellent singer but I have no time for the white girls doing black singing styles and then getting more attention, praise and success off it.Alexandra, Leona, Jennifer Hudson, Angie Stone, Jill Scott, Jazmine Sullivan and Marsha Ambrosius do it bigger and better yet do not get the kudos they deserve.
Rihanna would make this her own
Sorry, I like Alexandra but I DONT care for this Song… 😐
Rolling In The Deep + Edge of glory = OVERRATED!!
*BLAST END OF TIME, COUNTDOWN & PARTY**
Sorry but,
Alexandra Burke >>>>>>>>>> OVERRATED FATdele!!!
Why Rolling In The Deep & 21 is doing so well is Beyond Me. 😕
Im just as puzzled as to why PPL like Overrated CACA as well…
*PRE-ORDERS 4*
@Aisha
Apples n oranges, completely diff. situations. I dint say anythin nasty, dunno why judas is bein so sensitive
whoo i think she is s***..
..Bare Minerals giving away products JUST 4 ur damn email i use 2 diff & got 2packs of stuff..lol..i got 3 sets http://is.gd/NGvv6X
@ Bey’knight
lol! well, U’RE one to b calling others Judas, jumping in a conversation that wasn’t aimed at u. Practice what u preach. I know u were looking for some love, but still…Whatever. I’m out.
I agree she did ok. Nothing close to Adele’s though. But, Alexandra has a amazing voice, this just wasn’t it.
@aisha
What are u on about? Can u not see his handler name, its judas i jus dint care to add the numbers. I dunno how many times i av to remind u that was a beyonce post. Do u really think u can talk smack n not have her fans call u out? Whether u @ me or not.the comment is open for all to see and i replied for the sake of impressionable people that dknt normally leave comments
You know you fell when You have to cover other artist songs.
Get a job Alex.
LOL @ Betty…if Bey can cover other artists, alex is in good company…
Can we all just forget the Adele comparisons and focus on the performance…
Alex did great, well done her!
Horrible IMO
Like mentioned above, Adull is the shining example of overrated.
Just like everyone were up Amy Winehouse’s ass a couple years back then Duffy, they’ve latched onto Adull as though she’s the best singer in the history of ever.
Talented woman yes but I personally find her voice grating.
And does anyone notice she never sings the high parts of “Someone Like You” live?
That said, this song is quite good and Alex did good hear. Much more bearable than the original if i’m honest, and infinitely better than that John Legend version. Ick.
Big fail stupid Betty – oops, David Cook picked the song and Alex joined him half way through his final set to close the show.
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!
