The Harrowing - Alexandra Sokoloff

The debut album form last years X Factor winer..Alexandra Burke

Advantages: Great songs, great guest apperances, great album design
Disadvantages: None at all!

So, you will have seen the title of my review and that I am about to review a CD that has been made by and ex X Factor contestant. Many people have many different opinions on CD's and music that have been produced by people that have been born from a reality TV Show, I myself have often watched the X Factor but never felt strongly enough about voting or having a favourite, the X Factor just made good TV on a Saturday night! I did not really take much notice of Alexandra until the final night of the X Factor and she did an amazing duet with Beyonce Knowles, it was nothing short of world-class standard and suddenly a star was born... I purchased my copy of the album form Amazon for £8.98 but it is widely available in shops and on line. The album, titled Overcome was released on the 19th November 2009 and sailed to the top ...

Review of Overcome - Alexandra Burke

Harrow, a different experience

Advantages: cool, green, quiet, less populated with lower tourist around
Disadvantages: Far from central london

Harrow is in north west side of London. I haven not been lived there but have been there many times. Most of areas of Harrow falls in travel zone five of london. Most of tube station falls on metropolitin line with dark purple color on tube map. Major stops of harrows are North harrow, South harrow, West harrow, Harrow on the hill. It is surrounded by wembley, kenton, neasdon, kingsbury,queensbury etc. All of these areas have major population of asians specially Indians. Harrow is one of my favourite area in London because it is very cool. No hassles of city life as in central london. Most of residential area are quiet. It contain lots of green patches. So it looks like country side of England rather than area of London city. I had travelled through bus inside areas of Harrow and it is completely pleasure. If you are on upper deck ...

Review of Harrow, London

Alexandra Burke New Album Overcome.

Advantages: Its ok
Disadvantages: She could do better by being herself.

Its that time of year again...inundated with X Factor "Stars" with their latest offerings. Overcome features 13 tracks, including Alexandra's first single Hallelujah,was released in 2008. Well having listened to it several times i am sure we have not heard the best of her . I am dissapointed in that she just seems to be trying for follow everyone else and doesnt try and carve out her own style and sound. hopefully the songs will grow on me. I dont like the fact that they are trying to harden her image. She should just be herself and not some gangsta chick. There is far to much of that around. Bad Boys featuring Flo Rida kicks off the album with a energy and attitude. The rest of the album maintains a similar sounds full of R n B and pop. The album is average and nothing to get to excited about. In my opinion her true forte lies ...
