X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke plays with "Bad Boys" and Flo Rida, in the video from her debut album's first single, which was directed by Bryan Barber.
While most have deemed the song and its accompanying visual as being "dead on arrival", personally, I think Ms. Burke nailed it on both aspects by delivering the unexpected and not conforming to the guidelines placed on talent show winners.
Clearly, her predecessor Leona Lewis has the better voice, but Ms. Lewis' performances and visual clips often mirror that of watching a snail cross the street, which is clearly the area that helps Ms. Burke even the score. Although I found her attempts at delivering sexiness to be quite contrived and visually bankrupt, she made up for it with hordes of confidence and some effective choreography. Well done.
