Alexandra Burke f/Pitbull - All Night Long

[Devil]

Overall there was quite a bit of Poundland about her output, but this came on earlier and really is a phenomenal pop song. Pitbull actually adds well to it and that chorus is one for the ages.

What do we all think?

I much preferred her when she was emphatically (and expensively) pop-targeged and each single clearly hitting a different mark each time. This opened out her biosphere into a dreamy disco that has remained my absolute favourite. Her popsicle groove summit.

 

[Jark]

lush banger, better without Pitbull. the verses are such a dream. it's kinda crazy that they did her so wrong with album 2 off the back of so many proper hits. the British music industry had (has...) no idea what to do with black women.

 

[Jark]

The Silence obviously is her pinnacle and the 37th greatest song of all time by a British chanteuse

 

[Loufoque]

Her debut was stacked with hits. The way she fell off when she was perfect for turn of the turn-of-the-decade pop landscape. They squandered the woman who gave us that Beyoncé moment.

They squandered the woman who gave us that Beyoncé moment.

Which with retrospect looks like a fan had a chance to sing with their favourite pop star.

 

[Penelope]

She was a fan! And that fan could fucking sing!

Frankly it's better than I'D BE ABLE TO DO

[at the X Factor final]
me: oh my god... I can't believe I'm about to introduce this woman to the stage tonight... one of the greatest recording artists of all time... MOLLIE KING

[Mollie comes onstage to perform a duet of Hair Down (power ballad version) with me and makes a sound like a frog licking its eyeballs for ninety seconds. I finish 4th out of 3 finalists]

For me she is The Curious Case of - which would actually be a great title for a comeback album for her - she had e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g - she could sing, she danced she looked fucking amazing - and for that she had to die, I think, just a little bit too good for the British - so they waited for their moment, and, as far as I recall, they decided that that moment was when she said OK.com - that was enough. If only Donald Trump had said OK.com we could have been saved so much recent trauma.

 

[OutSynk]

It was all about Broken Heels and Dumb for me.

Whatever's going down ladies take the biggest cock

She did a doo doo

You go hard yes you do

I keep trying to go deep but you don't have a deep end

I forgot that it was OK.com that torpedo'd her public image in the UK

Truly a hateful nation
