D Day For X Contestants

It's release date for 3 X tv show contestants today. With new singles from 2008 X factor winner Alexandra Burke and 2008 American Idol runner up Adam Lambert and the release of the 2011 X Factor runner up  Marcus Collins' debut album. Who will climb highest up the charts this week?

Alexandra Burke      Download Single
@alexandramusic
Alexandra's "Elephant" ft Erick Morillo is her attempt at a club hit. Unfortunately the song fails to hit this mark! Alexandra's voice is way too auto-tuned and the song is completely all over the place. So the real elephant in the room is Alexandra's cliched attempt at originality! Despite this the song so far seems to be doing quite well in the charts and looks on course to finish in the top 5 at the end of the week.


         
Adam Lambert     Download Single
@adamlambert
Adam is still relatively unknown in the UK and does not recieve the airplay he deserves so hopefully his new single "Better Than I Know Myself" will gain him a bit more time on the radio. The single is the first from Adam's second album "Trespassing" which will be released later this spring. The new single and video tells the story of the light and dark side in every person and every relationship and showcases Adam's killer voice perfectly! Adam hits the stage in the UK this July with Queen so go check out his latest single and get to know him a little better before everyone else does this summer!



Marcus Collins      Buy Album
Marcus' self title debut album holds no suprises. The album is packed fully of soul songs that don't have much depth and at times are a little bit boring. The most notable song on the album is "Feel Like I Feel" which was written by Marcus' X Factor mentor Gary Barlow. Despite Gary's song writing talents (this is actually painful for me to write bad things about Gary barlow) the song sounds like a cheesy 90s pop song, and not in a good way! Marcus debut single from the album was a cover of White Strips "Seven Nation Army" which has been quite successful in the UK charts.

  1. Alexandra Burke's song sounds like she's saying "fuck about it" rather than "talk about it". Awkward!
