The reason I really dislike this song, apart from the fact that it's incredibly cheesy and naff, is that if a man did a song saying how great men are as opposed to women he would be socially stoned to death. However if a women does it it's called feminism and is greated with cheers from many people in society. Then again I might have just missed the point completely, as I did with 'If I Was A Boy' for a while.

God its awful isnt it?

Liam, I think we agree on this one.

I really don't like this at all. Bad Boys was passible, even if it's been over played. I don't think it's ever off 4Music.
It's horrible from the start when the uncomfortable spoken part is delivered. On that note, I'm growing tired of Red One insisting his name be said at the start of all the songs he produces too. As The Saturdays would say, I think you need a sit down with your ego. I have a Music Producer friend and he doesn't insist on it. That said, Jim Brown doesn't quite have the same ring to it. (Don't look him up, he's not famous)

I don't like the video either. Although, I'd quite like to watch Alexandra play a game of American Football in broken heels. Cue ankle injuries and InjuryLawyers4U.

Jim Brown


Yeah, doesn't go in a song quite as well.

True Dat

I challenge anyone to tell the difference between this and any quick tempo alesha dixon song. It just sounds like her, and they both annoy me.

Yeah, blokes are rubbish and not very attentive. I should know, i've met one. This slagging off blokes stuff is getting dull. And listen to, and compare this to, Alesha Dixon? Please, I have a life to live.

In fact, after listening to this, I had to listen to Big Black Hole by The Hours to cheer myself up! Which says a lot, given what Big Black Hole is about!

I thought that was another Wizard Sleeve song.

Lol curtain, and fnar of course.

Broken Heels is gonna be another TOP 10 hit for Alexandra .

As a pop single , it will appeal to a lot of her target audience , and like Bad Boys it boasts an in yer face chorus , that will be sung by many of her fans . A very , very good single choice .

This is another single , that will keep Alexandra on the radio , on the t.v , and in the higher reaches of the charts . For any pop star this is incredibly important .

Just ask Steve Brookstein , Michelle McManus or Leon Jackson .

"Just ask Steve Brookstein , Michelle McManus or Leon Jackson"

I would but I don't fancy a Big Mac just now :)

EXACTLY !

This is pop music . This is why a big commercial single is important .

The third singles by Brookstein , McManus and Jackson did not make the top 75 chart , and may have led to them serving Big Macs to a Thranjax, in a snow bound Scunthorpe .

Alexandra Burke's third single Broken Heels , is a huge pop single , will make the top 10 , and may lead Thranjax to one day , buy overpriced hot dogs on HER arena tour .

Ha !

I doubt I would go to see her, but the point remains, bad boys was better. I will check the local McDonalds immediately!

I'll have you know Steve Brookstein used to sing in Pizza Hut thanks to his success - I wonder if he got unlimited use of The Ice Cream Factory.

It's still gash though Spirit.

I have to agree with Fraser's review though Liam .
It's not my bag , but being around the business , this is the type of song , Alexandra NEEDS to release .

This is POP MUSIC .

Alexandra needs to release top ten songs that will appeal to her target demographic in order to stay a pop star.
Her record company need to ensure she does not end up at Pizza Hut or The Ice Cream Factory !

This song needs to be big , memorable , catchy and bought by hundreds of thousands of people .
It MUST have blanket radio and T.V play and be a HUGE pop single.

It succeeds at every level , which is why , it will be a top 10 hit.

This is the record business, and we all know what happens to singers , if they fail to have hits...

" Do you want to go large for an extra 30p ? "

It's an ok song, but I feel there's too many words in the chorus which make it sound a little off.

With this comment and your comment on Iyaz, Keith, I get the feeling you don't like choruses much :)

Famous songs without choruses .....

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Greatest Day - Take That

Losing MY RELIGION - R.E.M

Anymore ?

Robyn, With Every Heartbeat didn't did it?

Yep , that's another !

What about You've Got the Love? That just kind of circles round as well.

I've said it before, but whenever I hear the line "Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air" I can't help thinking, how's she going to catch them?

The You've got the love refrain does appear many times in the song though , that ones going to the jury....

Pretty sure that Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen doesn't contain a chorus it's just a load of verses.

Also Blue Monday - New Order and Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

Not sure if Axel F counts because it doesn't contain verses as well as no chorus.

Axel F ?

Are we allowing instrumentals ?

Isn't that cheating ?

Good call on your other 3 though !

And technically when it comes to singles.... Led Zeppelin are one hit wonders !

Whole lotta love got to number 21 in 1997 !

Nothing else has charted !

So is Jimi Hendrix technically.

Jimi Hendrix is not a one hit wonder is he?

Right !

Harry's banned from listing anymore one hit wonders !

He must be looking through a purple haze , all along the watchtower !

Hey Joe ! you been spending too much time in Voodoo Chile !

Go and play in the Crosstown Traffic ! :)

Blinking hell !!

Harry will be telling us that Elvis and The Beatles were one hit wonders next !

Don't get me wrong, I love chorus' when they're done right, but this one is a little too long. A chorus is supposed to be a catchy sing along thing you can do when drunk.

I'd imagine you'd sing so many of the first words then go mutter the rest.

I imagine that Keith would be happy with a nice, easy singalong chorus like ....

"Hot dog , jumping frog . . . . ALBUQUERQUE ! "

I've got a bone to pick with google now. I remember hearing somewhere that Jimi Hendrix was a one hit wonder, obviously I wanted to check so this wouldn't happen, so I typed into google 'Is Jimi Hendrix A One Hit Wonder' I then found a yahoo answers page that said he was and the wikipedia one hit wonders page which also said he was technically. Turns out though to my luck that those pages where only counting the American charts, Jimi Hendrix only had one hit there while he was alive. However in the UK he was much more fortunate, therefore on these grounds I must retract my comment. Can't trust the internet to do anything right.

Back on the subject of songs without choruses not sure if it counts but Mansard Roof - Vampire Weekend is just three verses (two which are the same).

Spirit, add in some "Whoah's" and you're sorted!

as in whoah your sex is on fire ?

These kind of whoah's...

"Whoah, I fell into yesterday. Whoah, our dreams seemed not far away"

MY COMMENTS AT 11, 13 AND 17.

Broken Heels is NOW in the top 10 !

Well that wasn't hard :p

In other news after Alexandra's Broken Heels was a top 10 hit , here is some news about Steve Brookstein , X FACTOR winner in 2004.

On February 26th and 27th , he will be playing the Caradon Inn in Upton Cross , a small village in Cornwall.
Tickets are £2.50 a head .

Thranjax , sorry about forgetting to take you out last night for Valentine's Day , but would a Steve Brookstein concert in a Cornish pub win you back ?

Maybe, so long as we get front row seats! And chicken in a basket.

Get him to sign your rack please.

Oh and just for people who don't know, Alexandra's next single will be THE SILENCE and its a big teary eyed ballad after two up-tempos!

Oh good, a big teary ballad that's just what I want to here from Alexandra Burke isn't it. Then again with a name like The Silence what else could it be.

It can't be worse than the previous two surely..

I'm afraid it is.
