Hallelujah Song!
I must say i don’t watch TV much, but whilst visiting my mother one Saturday evening and seeing how glued she was to the TV watching, i thought to myself, what is all the fuss about...i sat down to watch the show, and then she came on.
The first thing i noticed was her Beauty then her voice, i have to confess i fell for her... Alexandra Burke.
Ever since that day i made sure i never missed her performance.
After weeks and weeksof tears, tantrums, shock decisions and celebrity guests, the X Factor 2008 came to an end. Alexandra Burke, mentored by the great Cheryl Cole, is this year's winner.
The north Londoner went head to head with JLS after Eoghan Quigg polled the least number of votes out of the five million that had been cast at that point. Eight million votes were cast by the time phone lines closed. Alexandra was speechless with emotion after the result was announced, later composing herself enough to thank the judges, especially mentor Cheryl Cole, and everyone who voted for her.
Hallelujah Song!
Her debut single, Hallelujah, is now released for sale and download and has taken the Christmas number one spot. The winning song did the unthinkable and sold a million copies in a week." Alexandra made an unsuccessful contest bid three years ago, but has been widely praised for her performances throughout the live shows.
In the final, she started off singing Christmas carol Silent Night before moving on to one of my favourites Listen with her idol Beyoncé. But it was her version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah that settled the contest and won her the 2008 X Factor Crown.
The girl done well, I have to say am Proud of her, just like the rest of the UK.
Well done Alexandra.
