Alexandra to Duet with Girls Aloud?

Alexandra Burke has announced plans to perform with X Factor mentor Cheryl Cole's group Girls Aloud.

The 20-year-old described winning the ITV1 talent contest and a £1 million record contract last night as "the best feeling ever", revealing that she was sure runners-up JLS would take the crown.

She said: "I am in disbelief. I keep saying to my friends and family, 'This isn't real'. I cannot believe it's happened, but I am so happy. This is the best feeling ever."

Burke will now appear on the Top Of The Pops Christmas Special alongside acts including Girls Aloud and Take That. She added: "I want to do a duet with Girls Aloud. That will happen, I guarantee it."

A performance of Burke's debut single 'Hallelujah' during last night's final was described as "seriously incredible" by Simon Cowell.

Yeah, it would be a travesty if she released a half-hearted album in March. Hopefully Simon will do what he did with Leona and wait until September time until releasing any new material.

Alexandra Burkes Single, Hallelujah, Has been nominated for a Brit Award as best British single!

http://www.alexandraburkeofficial.com/images/photos/alex_13482nr12-v2_medium.jpg

Alexandra Burke's debut single "Hallelujah" was the official Christmas number 1, and stayed at number 1 for 3 Weeks!

Hallelujah Stats:
21/12- Number 1
28/12- Number 1
04/01- Number 1
11/01- Number 3
18/01- Number 6
25/01- Number 11
01/02- Number 23

This is the official music video for Hallelujah
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bsuXbkrA_AQ

It is Official! Alexandra Burke's "Hallelujah" is the biggest selling single of 2008!


Alexandra Burke will not be releasing her debut album until Autumn, reports a UK newspaper.

There were originally plans to bring out an album as soon as the Spring, but this has now changed in order to let Alexandra "polish her skills".

An insider is quoted in The Sun as saying: "[Her label were] planning a quick release - possibly as early as March in time for Mothers' Day, but they have reconsidered and will now go for the autumn - probably November."

"They want to wait to find the right songs and let her polish her skills, like they did with Leona. She can then launch it on a live X Factor show."

And despite Leon Jackson's disappointing sales of debut album 'Right Now', Alexandra's people are more confident that she has enough talent, that a delay in releasing the album will not affect it.

"Leon Jackson's album failed to shift as many copies as they hoped when they waited ten months after his X Factor win before releasing it," the source continued.

"They didn't want to risk the same thing happening but think Alex's talent and appeal is closer to Leona's levels, so they can afford to wait to get it right."

No one cares about Leon, thats why it flopped. Even his winners single sold dismally! Alexandra is the fastest selling female artist ever in the UK...over a million copies of Hallelujah sold in under a month. I have a feeling she'll be fine.

I think that if they are to leave it that long, they need to spend a lot of money on Advertising, like they did with Leona. I would like her to become like Beyonce, with Fast fun songs and slow ballads, because, she has the voice to do both

I hope so! She really deserves it! I think Generally, the x factor is getting bigger each year, so to win it, you know you are going to be huge. But Leon just didn't have that sparkle, like all of the previous X factor winners, Excluding Steve and Shayne.. Leaving Leona? So yes, I think if you are a Femal winner, you have a huge chance of success because you can sing in all kinds of tones and generally, whip us guys backsides with big the big voices we have seen

Rihanna is keeping boyfriend Chris Brown on a tight leash - she has banned him from having any contact with British pop star Alexandra Burke, according to reports.

Burke - who won the British equivalent of American Idol, X Factor, in December last year - has made no secret of her crush on Brown.

So, in a bid to keep any love rivals at bay, Umbrella hitmaker Rihanna reportedly banned Alexandra from an after-party following 19-year-old Chris' gig at London's O2 Arena earlier this month.

A source tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "Alex was mortified. She had no idea she had been banned from meeting her idol.

"She's a massive fan of Chris Brown – she said numerous times on The X Factor how much she fancies him and wants to meet him.

"Since she and Chris are both with Sony, she asked label bosses if they could arrange for her to meet him at the after-party.

"They said that was fine, they would sort it out.

"Poor Alex was so excited about hooking up with Chris that she was even thinking of entering a radio competition to meet him."

New Story in!


Lady GaGa has said that X-Factor star Alexandra Burke is just a "talent show wannabe", whilst she worked hard to get where she is today.

GaGa says: "I did this the way you are supposed to. I played every club in New York and found myself as an artist. I learned how to survive as an artist and how to fail and then figure out who I was as a singer and performer. And I worked hard".

Oo-er!

The mother of X Factor winner Alexandra Burke wept tears of anger yesterday after being told she is being investigated as a suspected benefits cheat.

Furious Melissa Bell, 44, protested her innocence as she stormed: “They’re idiots – I’ll sue them!”

The probe centres on claims that the mum-of-four – a former soul singer – has been getting paid for gigs while claiming benefits worth £17,344 a year.

Every venue the mum-of-four has appeared at within the last six months has been contacted by investigators.

Alexandra, 20, clinched the £1million a year X Factor winner’s contract and had a Christmas No 1. Now it is alleged her mother should no longer be claiming full benefits.

Melissa, who has severe diabetes, gets a monthly £258 disability living allowance and £124 per week in income support. Her weekly £150 rent and council tax fees are covered by housing benefit.

Bosses at Islington council in North London decided to launch an investigation after Alexandra and her mum are said to have discussed singing publicly together.

Melissa says the first she heard about the probe was when the Mirror contacted her. “I simply couldn’t believe it,” she said.

“But I rang the council and they have admitted I am under suspicion of benefit fraud. I’m absolutely outraged.”

Earlier this month we exclusively revealed how Melissa stepped in to sing at La Veranda restaurant in Carshalton, Surrey, on Christmas Day when Alex was unable to take the stage.

But she insists she has never had any professional gigs while she has been claiming benefits – and any money she did receive went straight to charity.

She revealed the council initially wrote to her last year demanding she start paying rent because Alexandra had finished college.

She said: “They think Alex is supporting me. If she’s giving me money I have to declare it – but she hasn’t. She’s not allowed to live in my house because that would cancel my benefits, but she’s not. Alex came here for Christmas but she doesn’t actually live with me.

“It looks like I’m a fraud because Alex came and stayed with her sick mother over Christmas for a few days.

“The council can come and search me right now. Officials have looked online at all the places I have appeared at and have contacted them all.

“But any money I’ve received I’ve given to the Kidney Patient Association.

“I am very mindful of the rules. On Christmas Day I stepped in for Alex at a restaurant because but I didn’t get paid – I got a Christmas dinner.

“I also sang at my hospital for the patients, but I didn’t get paid for that, either. I’m really upset about all this and very alarmed.”

If found guilty of the most serious offences, Melissa faces up to seven years in prison or an unlimited fine.

At the time of Alexandra’s X Factor victory last December Melissa was having to visit hospital three times a week for dialysis after collapsing with kidney failure in July.

Anxious Alex told viewers: “My mum’s really, really ill and I have to get her a kidney.”

Islington council refused to comment yesterday. A spokesman said: “We never discuss individual cases.”

I like Alex... but seriously?! I think X factor songs should be banned from award shows.

It is a great song though, with amazing Vocals. Much better than Jeff Buckley, in terms of my taste.

Yeh but people spend so long on writing and recording songs... she won a show and sang it in the studio. She managed to finish the song in a week... if she wins, then pop music has officially become heartless.

To be fair, I do agree, all she has done is sung the song. But then again, lots of pop artists get lyricists and producers to get lyrics for their songs, so is she in the same boat as a lot of others. Vocally, Alexandra wins, But Jeff did write the beautiful song and deserves some credit for the stunning arrangement

^ Jeff Buckley didn't write it, Leonard Cohen did.
tbh, if it wasn't for Jeff Buckley, then the song wouldn't have been so popular as other artists like Rufus Wainwright wouldn't have covered it, and it'd have never been the winners single, hence Alexandra would have been shoved with something like 'Flying Without Wings' or 'Born to Try' lmfao.

I voted someone else...

I didnt really like the song with her singing it and there is other songs that are better.

I voted for Adele :]
Unique ftw.

It was either her or Estelle but I had no reason to vote for Estelle other than Sam Sparro covering the song :\
If I'm honest, Alex would've been the second last person I'd have voted for.

I do like Adele, but i tend to go quite mainstream, which is why i went for Leona.

Alexandra has been knocked out of the Best Single category for the BRITs... thankfully. -runs away-

-runs back-

Alexandra Burke - The Man For Me.

It's a song she recorded prior to The X-Factor!
I don't like it but I thought I'd post it anyway for y'all!
Leona recorded 2 albums before XF so there could be more tracks.

Oh my god! How could you not like it? I think it is brilliant! I am so putting it on my I-pod. Shame she has been knocked out! Cannot wait for her album now! If that is her recording voice then i am so going to get the album, she is stunning!
