  • Alexandra Imelda Cecelia Ewan Burke (born 25 August 1988) is an English singer and winner of the fifth series of UK television singing talent show The X Factor. Burke had previously auditioned for the 2005 series of the show, where she reached the last seven in her category but was not selected for the live shows. Burke's prize, as winner, was a recording contract with Simon Cowell's Syco record label, whose parent company is Sony BMG. The contract has a stated value of £1 million, of which £150,000 is a cash advance and the remainder is allocated to recording and marketing costs. As of 15 December 2008, Burke became the current European record holder for single sales over a period of twenty-four hours, selling 105,000 copies of her debut single, "Hallelujah", in one day. The figure beats that of her X Factor predecessor, Leona Lewis, who previously held the record for selling 82,000 copies of her single, "A Moment Like This", over 24 hours. "Hallelujah" went on to become the Christmas number one single of 2008. It was also announced as the top-selling song of the year on the BBC Radio 1 Chart Show on 28 December 2008, beating The X Factor finalists' song "Hero". It is the first time that an X Factor winner has topped the end of year chart in the UK with their winner's single. Sales of "Hallelujah" passed 1 million by 9 January 2009, making Burke the first British female solo artist to sell a million copies of a single in the UK. Her debut album, Overcome will be released on 19 October 2009 and in the US at a later date with the lead single entitled "Bad Boys" featuring Flo Rida being released in the UK on 12 October 2009 and in the US at a later date.
  • Alexandra Burke ist eine britische Popsängerin. In ihrem Heimatland wurde sie durch den Gewinn der fünften Staffel der Castingshow The X Factor bekannt, die zwischen August und Dezember 2008 im Abendprogramm des Fernsehsenders ITV ausgestrahlt wurde. Während der Staffel nahm sie gemeinsam mit den anderen X-Factor-Finalisten eine Coverversion des Songs Hero von Mariah Carey auf, die im November 2008 drei Wochen lang Platz 1 der britischen Charts belegte. In der Finalshow am 13. Dezember 2008 setzte sie sich mit 58 % der insgesamt acht Millionen abgegebenen Zuschauerstimmen gegen die vierköpfige Band JLS und den Sänger Eoghan Quigg durch und erhielt einen mit einer Million Britischen Pfund dotierten Plattenvertrag bei Syco Music/Sony BMG. Einen Tag nach dem Finale erschien in der Woche vor Weihnachten im Vereinigten Königreich Burkes Debütsingle Hallelujah, eine Coverversion des gleichnamigen Hits von Leonard Cohen aus dem Jahr 1984. Bereits vor dem Finale waren nach Aussage von Simon Cowell, dem Erfinder von The X Factor 500.000 Vorbestellungen für die Single eingegangen. Hallelujah stieg über Weihnachten sofort auf Platz 1 der britischen Charts und wurde somit die Weihnachts-Nummer-1 im Vereinigten Königreich. In der Verkaufsstatistik des Jahres 2008 lag der Song ebenfalls auf Platz 1 vor dem X-Factor-Gemeinschaftswerk Hero.

  • Alexandra Imelda Cecelia Ewan Burke is een Britse zangeres. Ze brak door nadat ze in 2008 de vijfde editie van het Britse televisietalentenjachtprogramma X Factor won. Burke is een dochter van Melissa Bell, die enige tijd lid was van de popgroep Soul II Soul. Ze stond reeds op negenjarige leeftijd op het podium. Toen ze 12 was nam ze deel aan het televisietalentenjachtprogramma Star for a Night, welke gewonnen werd door Joss Stone. Al in 2005 nam ze deel aan de X Factor, waarin ze echter niet de finale haalde. Burke had inmiddels van zingen haar beroep gemaakt en trad voornamelijk op in clubs. In 2008 waagde ze een nieuwe poging in de vijfde Britse editie van de X Factor. Door coach Cheryl Cole werd ze geselecteerd om aan de tien finaleshows deel te nemen. Burke won uiteindelijk door in de laatste show de jongensgroep JLS te verslaan. De winst leverde haar een contract met een geschatte waarde van één miljoen Britse pond op bij het platenlabel Syco van X Factor-jurylid Simon Cowell. De single Hallelujah, die ze in de laatste show zong, kwam korte tijd later op nummer één van de UK Singles Chart. Haar versie van Hallelujah staat in de top 100 van best verkopende singles in Groot-Brittannië ooit en ze is de eerste Britse zangeres die meer dan één miljoen exemplaren van een single verkoopt. Het succes van Burke leidde ertoe dat ook eerdere versies van Hallelujah van Leonard Cohen en Jeff Buckley de Britse hitparade haalden. Bij Epic Records tekende ze in februari 2009 een contract ter waarde van drie miljoen Britse pond om vijf albums in de Verenigde Staten uit te brengen. Haar eerste album wordt in november 2009 verwacht.
