Its a poppy. The remembrance poppy has been used since 1920 to commemorate soldiers who have died in war. They were first used in the US to commemorate soldiers who died in World War I (1914–1918). Today, they are mainly used in current and former Commonwealth states to commemorate their servicemen and women who have been killed since 1914. In those states, small artificial poppies are often worn on clothing on Remembrance Day/Armistice Day (11 November) and in the weeks before it.
Alexandra, this is your best verision of this song... i downloaded the itunes version, but this
is better... your reps or managers probably told you to change your voice for american market.. but you have the best voice.. i love you.. i think you are wonderful.. i make everyone
listen and watch you on youtube.. and they agree.. you make my day sooo much better when i watch your youtube videos... God Bless YOU ... Sandy
Otima musica, amo ouvir esta garotinha cantar, parabens pelo o seu talento de cantar tao bem, voce merece tudo de bom . Meu nome e Ines sou do Brasil.
heey guys!!! Check out my cover of ''The Silence'', let me know what you think and if you would PLEASE sub me I would be so grateful! hope u like it ;) thanks
everyone thinks this song is christian but its actually againt christianity! and jeff buckleys version is way better! did you know that jeff buckley actually recorded the song 38 times just to get it perfectly?
Sorry but her Management must be very very bad at what they are doing, because How can such a seriously beautyfull and talentfull young lady can not be noticed? Seriously, there must be someting wrong there.
This is wierd, I wrote the silence, a year and a half ago, but where this is the females view, mine is written in the males view. Athough there are some other differences. Check it out!
I'm so far behind the times. Until just about 30 minutes ago I had no idea who this lady was. I think I'm going to hire somebody to keep me up to date on what's happening in the entertainment world, because I'm obviously working too doggone much.
From 2:55 to 3:05 is she doing a double note??? Cause from what I hear I can't say if it's a chest voice note or a head voice note, it seems to be both at the same time (but no on the same pitch), that's weird!!! LOL
WHOA, I don't usually comment on these things, but this young woman Alexandra Burke is an extraordinary singer. I can't remember feeling this moved since Whitney Houston...etc.
@jhonytb The great ones always are; Sarah Brightman, Jackie Evancho, Beyonce, and on and on. Now Alexandra Burke is up there with them. We love you Alex!!
This is the best song by a mile by Alex this is the reason why i voted for her on X Factor because of the big power performances. I think the standard has slipped down after a few years i don't think anyone has reached her and Leonas standards in the performances this and last year. can't wait to hear to live on Sunday :-)
i havent always been an alexandra fan but after this i am- in all respect to jls the x factor is a singing competition and alex is the better singer proven by this performance compared to jls's love you more on x factor weeks ago.
No not hate mate,just don't like pretentious,above their station people.The best singers in Britain (corporate etc.)are turned away by the producers of X Factor and BGT long before Cowell and co. are draughted in,way better and more striking looking than Leona and co. and they are more grounded.I deal with them.
@TheCHRISTOPHERD22 Exactly,sexy,great singer,the opposite of the pretentious,egotistical,personality and movement free Leona (shit vibrato control)Lewis!and what a pair of legs too!Leona has knees like Tom & Jerry's house maid!
I heard she said that she went on holiday by herself and cried because she was all alone. I hope she finds someone great, she seems a real genuine person and a hard worker.
with absolute no offense but y is the melody here lower then the original version??? its in fact quite obvious 2 notice the version here is much easier...
quite a few of the 'great' singers today sing much lower live than they do on studio recordings...for most, its easier to hold notes in a lower key than a higher one. mariah often lowers the pitch of her songs when she performs, and so does beyonce.
INCREDIBLE oh my God I think she is the BEST in the U.K at the moment an incredible singer, a fantastic performer & just a darling she's got it all ballads, up tempos just name it. I was worried that I lost Whitney but with this performance from Alex all my worries are now gone. I know Whitney is almost irreplaceable but this girl could be even better. Alex GOD has blessed you with the MOST FANTASTIC gift ever take care & hold on to it.
What is that flower pin she's wearing? Does it have any special meaning? I saw Paul wearing one as well and in an old X-Factor video I've noticed Leona wearing one...please fill me in :)
It's a poppy that we wear in the UK to commemorate Armistice Day (11th November) and remember all our soldiers killed in battle be that World Wars or more recent conflicts. :)
GREAT performance, can't wait to see Alex perform this on X Factor, it will be mindblowing
@JMNK37 that's beautiful. similar to when we wear yellow ribbons for the American Army. thank you so much for that info. i had no idea. i also have no idea of the date when she'll be performing. do we get x-factor in the states? or will i have to wait until her performance is uploaded?
this is fantastic. and i was so happy 'the silence' would be her next single until i started thinking...alexandra recently said her new single would be a 'newer version' of the silence in one interview, and in another interview in early october she said her next interview would be with 'an amazing boyband'...which has now got me really worried the new version of this will be a duet with JLS..which is bad because alexandra is brilliant on this song alone :)
