The X Factor winner is keen to prove Alexandra Burke Is Not Paid

prove Alexandra Burke Is Not Paid

After winning The X Factor and selling over one million copies of her single Hallelujah, Alex is back with her long-awaited album and new single Bad Boys.
We've got our hands on 30 pairs of tickets to give away to an intimate live session with Alex at the MTV studios on Thursday 15 October.
She'll be showcasing new tracks from the album and answering questions from the audience, one of whom could be you!
Within seconds of our meeting, and after warmly receiving a compliment about her shorter, slicker new hairstyle, she's recounting a conversation with her stylist which presumably proves she's her own woman.
"It was me that was like, 'I want the fringe, I want the fringe, I want the fringe' and he was like, 'no fringe Alex' and I had the fringe and the label loved it," she says.
"So I made that choice and they went for it," she adds in case the point is missed.
The new hairdo is part of a record company reimaging of the singer, described in their own PR material as "Alexandra Burke, version 2.0, 2009 remix".
And the electro-tinged R&B pop of new single Bad Boys, out next week, couldn't be more different from the X Factor winner's single Hallelujah, which sold more than a million copies.
On first listen, it sounds like disposable nonsense with its chorus of "the bad boys are always catching my eye".
By the second or third, though, like it or not, the chorus is firmly implanted in the head.
