X factor

Alexandra Burke first made her television appearance when she auditioned for The X Factor UK’s second season almost ten years ago. Even though she lost, she wouldn’t be where she is today if it wasn’t for that moment.

After being cut from the second season, Alexandra didn’t want any pity. Instead, she went to work taking singing lessons. After three years of long, hard work — Alexandra decided to audition again.

Her professional singing lessons paid off because she ended up winning the fifth season of The X Factor UK. Her voice was phenomenal and there was no one that could deny it. She clearly deserved to win.

During this season, the 20-year-old had an epic performance with one of her “heroes.” That hero would be Beyonce. Not many young women get the opportunity to sing with a mega-star and idol of this caliber.

As Alexandra was performing Beyonce’s song “Listen,” when halfway through she was joined by Queen Bey herself. The performance from that point on was taken to a level that left the audience and judges completely in awe.
