I felt the same way, when she first performed it at the Tickled Pink event I was SO excited because her vocals were amazing and most importantly were clear and above the music. I was slightly disappointed by how over produced her vocals were when it premiered but I wouldn't have dared tell the other Alex stans or they would've jumped on me lol.

Yeah, stans are defensive! It comes with the job lol.
I was disappointed because I live for her voice.
I just want her to have her 2008 hair styling back again. It was perfect.
If people think she's trying to be someone else it won't work well (the comeback).
Back to Black!!

Yeah true, I can't really talk about that since I defend Alex to death everywhere I go even if deep down I agree with the "hater" on certain things

I agree her styling needs to change, I'm not sure if you seen my post on DS, but I said this is the image I want her to go with -

The hair, makeup and styling is so perfect here imo.

Agreed. I love her having black hair with brown in it, it works so well.
She's got the figure, they just need to perfect it all.

Yeah She definitely suits it better darker with some light highlights. Its looks really great here too-

I think she should avoid fringes though because it ages her, hence the reason why a lot of people thought she was older than she was on X Factor. The hair she had at the end of 2010 was also awful, what was she thinking?

So yeah, basically if they get the music, image and promo perfectly right she will no doubt smash

Alexandra: 'I really want(ed) to strip it all back and have my music be about my voice. Doing everything I did before came from the heart, but RCA still wanted a lot of the Pop stuff, which was great but I remembered the reason I won the X Factor is because I sang my heart out.
People voted for a voice and I want my third album to be strictly about my voice.'

Alexandra: But now I really want to go for it. I’m working with Drake’s producers right now, and there’s so much magic I want to create right now and I can do that with Kevin (Liles). He “gets” me as a person, as an artist… as a young woman. He gets where I want to be and that’s what I needed. I’m so humbled by the support he’s given me. So I’m going back in (the studio) with a lot of producers who understand me…Rico Love is one of them.

I don’t want to put a tag on the music, but at the end of the day my voice is soulful so the music will always be passionate and soulful. I’d describe my “new sound” as a “Whitney Houston meets Coldplay”. It’s pure, it has influences of Pop, Soul, R&B, even Hip Hop- it’s really everything I love. But I’m making sure the focus is on my voice. The album is coming sooner than my fans think it is. I’m working on it now. In the meanwhile, I’m looking forward to giving them something as a pure Thank You for their support before that.'

Quote:

TGJ: Regarding the album, any word on what label it’ll be released on?
Alexandra: Kevin is working on things right now and there are labels we’re talking to now. There’s not one we’ve decided on (yet), but as long as they understand and share the same point of view it’ll all be fine. I’m literally doing what I love (on this record). I’m literally in the studio finding my own place so whatever label gets on board has to share my vision.'

So glad Kevin Liles signed her up to KWL management. He is great at managing black acts and making them succeed and do well.
