X-Factor是由Simon Cowell制作的英国的全民选秀节目，该节目2006年的冠军Leona Lewis今年已经大红大紫，今年的冠军Alexandra Burke也于本周产生，她的新单曲《Hallelujah》在一天内卖出105000张，创造了欧洲单日销量的最高纪录。Alexandra Imelda Cecelia Ewen Burke (born 25 August 1988) is a British recording artist and songwriter. Burke was exposed to music from an early age, with her mother, Melissa Bell, being the lead singer of Soul II Soul. Burke rose to fame after winning the fifth series of British television series The X Factor in 2008, becoming the first of two winners to be mentored by Cheryl Cole and also, the second of two people in the girls category to win the series, the first being Leona Lewis in 2006. Burke currently stands as one of the most successful winners of The X Factor. She was previously signed to three record labels: Epic Records, RCA Records and Syco Music, until she departed in June 2013 due to creative differences. Burke's net worth is $8,000,000, making her the second highest-earning X Factor winner, behind Leona Lewis.
