Alex seems to have favored a different, up and coming artist in her single.

It's very possible he could be appearing on the show with her!

^I found the second half of the article more interesting - the way Simon was in a business meeting and she burst in to speak to him

I just came across the B-side for Bad boys.

It's called dangerous. Alex's vocals are good, the lyrics are very but after a few listens you really start to enjoy it

'Bad Boys' is outselling 'Bodies' (Robbie) 2 to 1.
It sold 90,000 copies on Monday, Robbie did 40,000.
She should be number 1 on Sunday.

I think she did mime.

Either that or she did what Beyoncé usually does for her uptempo songs and sings the verse, mimes the chorus so she can dance. I think this is probably more likely, but there were definitely parts where she wasn't singing live.

She probably recorded the song live before the show and mimed to the chorus of that recording. Either way she was absolutely amazing.

I would be really disgusted if she did mime.  X Factor is a talent show and I would rather here Alexandra sing than see her dance.  I personally hated her dancing, saw it as like a little girl trying to do OTT moves and that she looked a bit silly but loved the song and love her! Clap

The X Factor's now saying Alex didn't mime.

Quote
Did Alex mime?
Her performance of Bad Boys certainly was slick - so slick, in fact, that it seemed very much like she might perhaps have been miming.

Fiction!
There was no sneaky lip-syncing from this reigning champ… Alexandra was live, loud and proud! Let’s face it, there couldn’t be a better crash course in learning the live ropes than a whole series of performing in front of our picky panel. And on Sunday Alex proved why she graduated with flying colours. Sassy, sophisticated and… slick!

She's not going to be everyone's cup of tea. There are enough artists out there similar to Alex for people to know whether they enjoy her style or not.

I do find it a bit underwhelming that the Independent used her album as a platform to moan about the show rather than to actually comment on its content.

Well done Alex!! Clap

As for the miming thing....of course she didn't mime. The veins on her neck were sticking out as they do when singers are actually singing!!
