Alexandra Burke has been flying since winning the X Factor back in 2008, the nation watched her become bessie mates with Cheryl, beat JLS and duet with Beyonce. Since her European tour Alexandra’s single Bad Boys charted in the top 20 in several European charts. As she is a fan of Idol we chatted to her about what’s occurring and why she likes her Idol leopard dress featured...ooohh!!

I'd say there are more ups then downs for sure! I love this beautiful life I live as I get to meet amazing people and go to places I've never seen before. I feel so lucky!
