Finally, after swathes of cookie-cutter wannabe popstars created by 'reality tv', fame academy came across a genuine, gorgeous and astoundingly talented artist in the form of Alex Parks. I was eally impressed by every song she did on the series, putting her own distinctive stamp on them.
'Maybe that's what it takes' is a beautiful song, and her haunting and emotional vocal style reminds me of the also brilliant Annie Lennox. If there's any justice it'll knock the 'pop-by-numbers, flavour-of-the-week' act off the top spot.

The first single from Fame Academy 2003 winner Alex Parks, 'Maybe That's What it Takes' is a haunting piano ballad about the sacrifices of love.
A brilliant song in the vain of artists like Sarah Mclachlan, it rises and falls, dragging the listener out with it like the tide.
I cannot recommend the song enough.
Also on the single a cover of 'Beautiful' sung with more emotion than would be thought possible and 'Over Conscious' another original song.

crap!
Personally, myself and my friends find this song so annoying. The local Radios refuse to play it due to the amount of angry callers they get. Read more

A must-have for hard core fans
This debut single contains three tracks from Alex Parks' excellent album 'Introduction' so while it's a must-have for hard core fans, others may prefer to buy the album. Read more

Refreshing Or What!
I think Alex is what the public have been waiting for - a quality singer with a raw edge who means what she sings. No sickly smiles, just great music. Refreshing.
