Alexandra Burke
In a previous post I told ya'll that Alex had flown sate side to shoot the video for her SECOND single 'Broken Heels'. These shots where taken on the set, and Alexandra is looking mighty cute in her American Football get up! The Red One produced track will be released on Janurary 11th 2010, and the video is set to premiere in about 2-3 weeks time. Like 'Bad Boys', my first reaction to the song isn't a good one. . . but I'm sure it will grow on me and will have the song stuck in my head. The video will supposedly have sum KILLER choreography so I can't wait to see it!
Like EVERY European artist, Alexandra is keen to break the U.S! Breaking into the U.S industry is probably one of the hardest and if achieved.. most rewarding career move for any artist. She recently spoke to The Mirror about Bee and achieving success in America:
ALEX ON CRACKING THE US:
ALEX ON BEYONCE:
“Beyonce has lent me her choreographer. Frank worked with me for the video in LA last week and he’s helping me out with my live stuff. He’s out of this world and I want him to be in my life for ever. He’s given me a whole new identity as a performer.”
For those of you who don't know who Frank Gatson is, he is an artists DREAM choreographer!! All them bad ass moves you see Bee doing??? He's the man behind it! Such a good look for our Brit Alex...:-D

ALEX ON CRACKING THE US:
“I want to crack America but I’m c***ping myself. Even Europe scares me. America’s a huge deal. In the UK everyone knows me because of the show but in America they have no idea who I am.
I won’t be annoyed if things don’t work like Leona Lewis. I’m giving this my all and I want to make it work.
But I’m different to Leona. I’m going to work my a**e off. I guess I started on the show being compared to her and now I’m back being compared. If they accept you they do, but if they don’t then they don’t.”

Beyonce
Over the weekend I watched ' Beyonce: I AM YOURS (Thanksgiving TV Special) ' and Ive never felt more inspired, more proud and more completely amazed by Beyonce! Her work ethic is like NO OTHER ARTIST!! When you watch the video below you will understand why I say this. You can hate on her, not like her music or even disagree with the way her camp do business. . . but if you can't agree with the fact that she is simply THE BEST ENTERTAINER OUT RIGHT NOW - then you clearly need to miss me with all that hater shid!!!
The TV special is a mix of the behind the scene footage and her performances in vegas, you get to see:
The TV special is a mix of the behind the scene footage and her performances in vegas, you get to see:
- Her messing around with her hubby Jay-Z
- The effort her and her band put in ever night
- What goes into planning a show
- Her effortless performances of Halo, Single ladies .. etc
In other Beyonce news, she has spoken about a possible new musical direction for her next album.When asked if there was anyone else left she'd like to record with, B replied:
"Oh, where do I begin? There’s so many people I’d like to work with still, but I’d like to maybe go outside of the box. My sister [Solange] has put me on to bands like [indie group] Of Montreal and some other different types of artists. I would love to do something like that on my next album"
I dont actually think Beyonce will stop until she's done every genre of music possible LOL!! Workaholic indeed :-D
