It has been officially announced that Alex's album will be called "Overcome"...

Overcome is a Ryan Tedder track which will feature on the album (and leaked about 3 months ago.. in gmail for those of u that have not yet heard it!)

Here is the official artwork:

I've had this on order from Amazon FROM LAST year when it was £6 for 2 CD Special Edition so I'll let the order go through but I'm not really excited anymore. Bad Boys is quite rubbish really.

God, as if the single cover wasn't bad enough!

SBUK - September 17, 2009 06:28 AM (GMT)
I LOVE Perfect. Not so keen on Hallelujah or Bad Boys.
I'll give Overcome a listen.

Good to see something different from an X Factor winner! Is this the first "real" debut single by one of them to have actual choreography??

She did good! Nothing original in terms of pop videos in general but judging by X Factor video standards it's a breath of fresh air.

She does look a bit QUESTIONABLE throughout the whole thing though.

I Am... Michael Fierce - September 20, 2009 10:03 AM (GMT)
LMAO @ QUESTIONABLE.

Do you mean mile a Tranny?

We should be thankful of that...

Shame that Perfect was dropped... BSide perhaps!?

Naaman - September 27, 2009 05:47 PM (GMT)
Overcome is a nice enough emotional ballad but nothing special, I hope the rest of the material on the album is a lot stronger.

I Am... Michael Fierce - September 27, 2009 05:48 PM (GMT)
So the X Factor winners album I ordered last year on Amazon has amounted to nothing.

Naaman - September 30, 2009 08:16 PM (GMT)
Clips of every song are up on Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001NII...&pf_rd_i=468294

Naaman - September 30, 2009 08:24 PM (GMT)
This sounds really good! Much better than the usual X Factor winner tosh.

Karen - September 30, 2009 08:33 PM (GMT)
Purely from a lesbo point of view, she actually looks rather appealing in those pix!

Emma - September 30, 2009 08:48 PM (GMT)
Im not impressed.

But then Alexandra never did impress me on the X Factor!

I Am... Michael Fierce - September 30, 2009 10:21 PM (GMT)
Who WERE you about on X Factor Oh Eight?

Karen - October 1, 2009 06:49 AM (GMT)
I think Emma was a stanlietta for that little blonde girl with the weird voice... Diane something?

Oh Diana Vickers... such a shame she has only amounted to "Little Voice" on the West End... I had hoped she would of got a better recording contract from x Factor...

Diana never did impress me on X Factor 08.... :sing:

Candyman - October 2, 2009 04:55 PM (GMT)

It's a lot easier to download now than it was two years ago! Or something.

KOS - October 13, 2009 01:54 PM (GMT)
Sales were higher two years ago though.... Single sales are dropping and dropping with each year...

but anyway, Bad Boys wont be hanging around even half as long as Bleeding Love did...

Youngster - October 13, 2009 03:04 PM (GMT)
HUGE SALES! :o

jess - October 13, 2009 08:17 PM (GMT)
My copy was dispatched today! HOW soon! :D

Naaman - October 13, 2009 08:28 PM (GMT)
Of the album?!

I Am... Michael Fierce - October 13, 2009 08:43 PM (GMT)
I really don't think much of her single at all. It's just quite boring.

jess - October 13, 2009 09:01 PM (GMT)
^^Yeah the album!

Naaman - October 13, 2009 09:10 PM (GMT)
Oooh a leak can't be far off then! :)

I Am... Michael Fierce - October 13, 2009 09:10 PM (GMT)
Isn't the album out in 2 weeks?

jess - October 13, 2009 09:12 PM (GMT)
