woow one of the reason that i love this song is bczz alexa its amazin with an aamazin voice+ the lyrics of this song is all true+this single goes out 15th november my birthay hahah
This song is so important to me. It's one of them songs where a bunch of my biggest memories were stored. I have so many flashbacks just listening to this song. But not the best, 1 and a half years ago i first heard this song, and 1 and a half years ago my boyfriend broke my heart. I love you Kaylan, there you go i've said it it's out in the open now. I wish i had the strength to talk to you again. I miss you so much! i love you so much! and yet i doubt i even cross your mind:(.
Today I walked away from someone I once loved... this song along with my friends and family will help me get over them and will teach me 'to love again' xoxoxo
he dumped me because he was in love with another girl </3
i can't seem to get over him... he's on my mind 24/7 , i can't help fight the urge to text him and texting him only makes me like him even more. I miss waking up smiling , going to bed smiling all because i had him. I miss texting him hours long.... i remember these special day which everyone else found boring but some how i found it amazing because he was there <3
I just tried to be diplomatic during a fight, but all efforts were useless. Why do we fight, when it's completley needless unnecessary? Why do we cause more misery than there has to be? There's enough of it. I've had enough of poeple getting worked up about little things and throwing away friendships because of it. I hate it...

its a shame cus she's not known as likee beyonce or whatever. and she shuld be, cus she has sucha unique voice. she likee, inspires me so much. beautiful voice, and beautiful face(: will be buying the album for christmas XD love it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To Love Again is out tonight on Itunes people, and is in stores Monday!
Everyone please buy this song and support Alesha, she probably feels as if no-one likes her with the Strictly backlash etc, we need to show her this isn't the case and get her well up the charts :D
i saw her in concert last night she was brill she sung dis song its beautuful she wrote it herself its about harvey wen he had an affair bless her love u alesha ur the best x
beautiful voice, beautiful woman & to me more beautiful than Cheryl Cole. She is tall, not very skinny & has bits of flesh where necessary for a woman. I think good role model for young girls.
sweeeeeet song i like it a lot so good but i think she is better than the song i love her laugh shes so happy number 1 for me i here her radio 1 shes the life the sole loved to meet her just to here her laugh and smile
alesha dixon is simply amazing i love her, these are the kinda songs i like the ones that acctuly mean something, a song where someone can listen to it and it either brings back memories or someone who you've been with, love this song :)
I LOVE this song, I relate to the lyrics since my fifteen year marriage ended last year and I am seeing someone very special but struggling. I cry when I listen to it, it is like a release of emotions, like someone has taken my thoughts and feelings, there`s a word for it but I can`t think of it right now! Acceptance, acknowledgement maybe?
ii love alesha omggggg she's like the ultimate package... a brill dancer, an amazin singa and very gawjuz!!!! <3 can't wait for this to come out.. massive tune bet it's guna be numba #1 :P love ya aleshaaaaa
get over your selves. This song is great and tbh, i think your all being pathetic. Your all just jealous tbh, you wouldn't complain if it was you. would you? ^.-
Actually it's a vocal technique and also a recording technique used to make the voice sound this way. Alesha can sing. I do know what I am talking about I am studying Music Education at The University of Aberdeen and am a first study vocalist. I take it your a non-musician. What gives u the right to say she can't sing, she can!
Paulwilsonmusician - how patronizing are you? "I take it your a non-musician? Jesus Christ! Well in my opinion she doesn't have a very good voice - I'm a musician but unlike you I don't feel the need to give my background, cos I don't need to persuade people - this is youtube, not newsnight.
Are you American? I take it you are! You spell things with Z's and that's a US English thing not a UK one! I gave "my background" as you say to show I know what I am talking about when it comes to Vocal Quality! What musician are you a guitarist? Thought so you always think you can have an opinion on the vocal!
I'm British - my computer's set to an American spell check and changes it automatically. Are you serious:
"What musician are you a guitarist? Thought so you always think you can have an opinion on the vocal! "
I think your joking because that's ridiculous. I'm an opera singer if you must know - and you, my dear (notice the patroniZing voice) are arrogant. lol! If your joking then ignore my last comment - but its hard to tell on youtube! ;o)
Yes I was only joking lol! :L. But I do think you were a little critical with Alesha's vocal, she is a popular music vocalist and you will know that that's a million miles away from the 'professional' vocal styles aka opera, aria, oratorio etc. I don't find her voice to be bad at all :). She does have a slight Reggae sound to her voice in places of her range.
But I think its a shame that all singers are not even expected to have really good singing voices.She sounds just about okay on the track - as a musician yourself you'll know that's a lot of work in studio to get that. I saw her sing live and it was shocking. The best popular singer I think is Beyonce because she has more power behind her voice and a richer tone. Rihanna and Keri Hilson are the worst. I just think we should have higher expectations of artists.I love the song though!xxx
Yes I do fully agree with you! Oh gosh Rhianna can't sing for a fish supper! She sings through her nose and was signed so that those with no aurally musical ears and those who fancied her or liked her fashion style would buy her music. Beyonce is a phenominal vocalist I love how she left "If I Were A Boy" so raw that you could hear her sing out of tune on the record in places. She is just the best as is Leona Lewis! Oh I hate it when people don't call the Voice an instrument lol it is eh?

All this time I felt so lost, lost and needed help.
Incomplete, out of reach,alone all by myself.
It all becomes so clear, when I see your face.
And it's only when you're near, I feel i'm safe.
So before we take this road, before you change my mind,
Fill my heart with hope, help me to believe this time.
I've been torn apart, desperately
Try to find a way back to my heart, so I can love again.

Yes I was only joking lol! :L. But I do think you were a little critical with Alesha's vocal, she is a popular music vocalist and you will know that that's a million miles away from the 'professional' vocal styles aka opera, aria, oratorio etc. I don't find her voice to be bad at all :). She does have a slight Reggae sound to her voice in places of her range.

But I think its a shame that all singers are not even expected to have really good singing voices.She sounds just about okay on the track - as a musician yourself you'll know that's a lot of work in studio to get that. I saw her sing live and it was shocking. The best popular singer I think is Beyonce because she has more power behind her voice and a richer tone. Rihanna and Keri Hilson are the worst. I just think we should have higher expectations of artists.I love the song though!xxx

Yes I do fully agree with you! Oh gosh Rhianna can't sing for a fish supper! She sings through her nose and was signed so that those with no aurally musical ears and those who fancied her or liked her fashion style would buy her music. Beyonce is a phenominal vocalist I love how she left "If I Were A Boy" so raw that you could hear her sing out of tune on the record in places. She is just the best as is Leona Lewis! Oh I hate it when people don't call the Voice an instrument lol it is eh?
