Popplastic are proud to be supporting X-Factor 2008 winner Alexandra Burke, and we're planning on buying Alexandra's debut single, "Hallelujah", an amazing rendition of the Leonanrd Cohen classic.
Hurrah! In a victory for talent over crap, Alexandra Burke(the official Popplastic finalist) has won X-Factor 2008!!!
Alexandra Burke the 20 year old North Londoner mentored by Cheryl Cole became the 5th X-Factor winner in one of the closest ever finals.
Alexandra has waited a long time for this moment, she nearly made it through to the competitive stages of X Factor in 2005, but Louis Walsh turned her down, saying she was too young.
Alexandra will now release a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, a sure fire Christmas Number 1!
Well as long as it's not Eoghan (The Munchkin) Quigg we don't mind!!!
Popplastic are campaigning for an "Alexandra" victory on Saturday nights X-Factor final! We've been supporting Alexandra since Austin's shock exit and can sense victory in the air! We'd be quite happy with a win for JLS just so long as the Munchkin doesn't win!
All the contestants are singing one Christmas-themed song tomorrow night.
Alexandra will sing Silent Night
JLS either Oh Holy Night or Last Christmas
Eoghan will sing I wish it could be Christmas every day.
All three finalists will also perform a duet on the live final, Alexandra Burke will sing with Westlife, JLS and Eoghan Quigg will team up with Rihanna and Boyzone respectively.
All three acts have already recorded the song - a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah - so it can be on shop shelves as soon as possible.
According to Simon Cowell, 500,000 pre-orders have already been placed for the single.
Hallelujah to be X-Factor 2008 winner's single!!!!
It has been announced that all three acts have already recorded the song - a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah - so it can be on shop shelves as soon as possible.
According to Simon Cowell, 500,000 pre-orders have already been placed for the single.
Here's Leonard Cohen's original version of Hallelujah...

Hallelujah was also covered by Amanda Jensen on "Idol", Sweden's answer to Pop Idol.
The latest Dell Inspiron commercial features another of our favourite advert songs at the moment.

The ad features Colors by Kira Willey.
Here's the track...
Colors - Kira Willey
Kira Willey is an award-winning American singer/song writer. Her songs were initially written for her first daughter in an effort to sing her to sleep. Sweet!
For those of you who have endured and survived a Ryanair flight perhaps the most traumatising part of the entire experience has to be the in-flight music.
To add insult to injury Ryanair have teamed up with a fictional all singing, all dancing superhero fly called Mr. Superfly and between them they're hoping his debut single The Buzz, (inspired by the annoying in-flight music), reaches number 1 in the charts.
Paddy Power are tipping Mr. Superfly and The Buzz to go straight to the top of the UK charts. The single is released on Monday 10th November.
It's also a favourite to be this years Christmas number 1.
Kerry Katona is apparently set to make a singing comeback as the UK's answer to Dolly Parton.
The former Kitten, who has confessed she cannot sing, (and promised on her recent This Morning interview that she wouldn't do it to her fans) is going to Nashville to work on a country music relaunch for her career.
Yes apparently MTV love Kerry so much, they just can't get enough of her antics and have decided it's time Kerry had a bit of fun!
It's hardly popplastic, it's not even poptastic, BUT when we came across Dax and his single Calling Love we developed a strange attraction to it and couldn't help but sing along to the Calling Love bits.
Check it out...
Dax- Calling Love
Dax O'Callaghan is an English singer, dancer and actor. In England he is best known for presenting the LOL:Laugh Out Loud show, his small role as Jack Price in the BBC soap opera EastEnders and his subsequent appearance in the medical drama Casualty. However he is more widely known in France as a singer and his single 'Calling Love' was hugely successful there. Yah, someone else liked it too!

Ok! you need to listen to it more than a couple of times but it does get kinda catchy . . .
Popjustice have reported the first casualty of the economic malaise that has gripped the world.
It is with sadness in our hearts that we bring you news of the demise of ...... Billiam.
But Billiam are not gone, they will live on in our hearts, AND in the case of PopPlastic they will live on in our Ipods. Well one track will at any rate. Billiam leave behind a musical legacy, a legacy know to millions simply as ... Boyz Text Girlz. Perhaps one of the greatest pieces of music ever written (that afternoon). To be fair we love it!
Click on and listen to to "Boyz Text Girlz"....
Also who could ever forget some of the artwork that accompanied the release of Beautiful Ones....

So here they are.
