More about Alexandra Burke, the X Factor finalist rocked by news of an alleged sex tape that she is in being sold..
Alexandra Burke is a 20 year old singer from from London and is a top 3 finalist in the 2008 series of The X Factor in the UK, beating thousands of other hopefuls for the position. This isn’t Alexandra’s first brush with X Factor fame, in series 2, shown in 2005 Burke succesfully auditioned for The X Factor and got through to the ‘Judges House‘ stage with Louis Walsh as the mentor. Louis decided she was too young to continue the show and did not put her through to the live shows.
Alexandra has been a strong favorite since the early stages of the live shows, with her varied and powerful voice wowing the judges and the public each week. This may in part be down to her roots, Alexandra Burke is the daughter of Melissa Bell herself a very successful singer. Melissa was lead singer with Soul II Soul, a late 80’s early 90’s band with a number of top 40 hits. Alexandra’s sister Sheneice is also an accomplished vocalist having worked with Donna Summer and Cyndi Lauper.
Alexandra has gone from strength on X Factor with only a few negative comments by the judges.
Along with boyband JLS and Eoghan Quigg, Alexandra Burke is one of the three finalists left to battle it out for the winners spot next Saturday.
Mentored by Girls Aloud babe Cheryl Cole, Alexandra is the last of the girls remaining in the competition.
How much will the news of the sex tape being sold to the highest bidder dash her chances of success? Who knows? Let’s wait and see.
