Reviewing: Alesha Dixon The Alesha Show
Purchased at: Popeye

I once bought a Mis-Teeq DVD, but I didnt remember that Alesha Dixon was in this trio. When I listened to the radio, I caught a very catchy song titled Breathe Slow by Alesha Dixon. Then I looked for her album after that, which had this song in it. I found her album, The Alesha Show. And what surprised me, was that I recalled her face somewhere. It was true, when I opened my old DVDs, I found her in my Mis-Teeq DVD. She was young back then in the DVD. Its good that she goes with her solo career now.

The Alesha Show turned out to be her second album. There are 14 listed tracks in this album, but there is one hidden bonus track at the end of the 14th track.

1. Welcome to The Alesha Show
The intro is not a great opening, but makes a good one for welcoming us into the world of Aleshas musicality.

2. Let's Get Excited

This track really gets me excited! You can hear a very brilliant upbeat rhythm in this. Hmm Brilliant Alesha! The lyrics is fun too!

3. Breathe Slow

The piece that makes me bought this album. Its an excellent song with catchy refrain lyrics, though not that upbeat (a rather slow beat instead). I would say it scores a perfect ten for the whole song, I mean the combination of the lyrics, beat, the way she sings it, and her voice, its just FABULOUS! I listen to this track over and over, and mumble the chorus over in my head [Cant forget to breathe slow, count from one to ten, with my eyes closed, coz ladies take it in, and get compo-oooo-sure, before I lose it get compo-oooo-sure]

4. Cinderella Shoe

Though its not my favorite track, but the beat is pretty upbeat.

5. The Boy Does Nothing

What can I say? The lyrics is pretty stunning Love it. She definitely DID something on this song that made it so catchy.

6. Chasing Ghosts

A bit ballad, but spookily great!

7. Play Me

Overwhelmed with drums, a rock-and-roll type! Makes me rock my feet all the way!

8. Hand It Over

R&B mania, get ready! This is an R&B piece for you. Theres a bit touch of hip hop. Ms. Dixon certainly has something in her voice in this song.

9. Do You Know The Way It Feels

It drugs me immediately with Aleshas voice and the musical background in it. I mean, its just, wow, she can really interpret how to move emotional feelings in her. A ballad that receives thousands claps from me.

10. Can I Begin

A pop number, not outstanding but still do me a good feeling when listening to it.

11. Italians Do It Better

A jazzy pop track, combined with Aleshas seductive voice and lyrics. Hmmm Cant say I love it, but I do like it.

12. Ooh Baby I Like It Like That

Guitar-dominated, with no other attraction. Okay its upbeat, but not catchy. I was just wondering, why she put this kind of song in this delicious album. I certainly dont like it like that.

13. Don't Ever Let Me Go

Here comes another superb number. Alesha succeeds in singing it with a happy expression. A bit upbeat, and brilliant!

14. I'm Thru

A bit of swing, not my favorite but its just an okay track. Its supposed to be the end track, but theres another coming

15. Mystery (Hidden bonus track)

Dont know, but I guess this album shouldnt have ended with this song. Maybe itll be better if they dont put this song in this album.

Alesha certainly worked hard for this album. She wrote some of the songs here, and it amazed me. Young and talented, that's what I get after listening through this album. 'The Alesha Show' is definitely her gigantic show, her fantastic performance in the record industry. Bravo Alesha!
