Now a pop princess in her own right, since winnng the X Factor and getting to No. 1 with Hallelujah Alexandra Burke has had phenomenal success with her debut album Overcoming going to number one. Burke has been nominated three times for a Brit Award for Best British Single as a solo artist, with "Hallelujah", in 2009, "Bad Boys", in 2010, and "All Night Long" in 2011 and has achieved three solo number one singles: her most recent single "Start Without You" became her third solo UK number one hit; as well as two number one singles as a featured artist in charity singles "Hero" and "Everybody Hurts".
However, she is currently is working on her second album which is set to be released in September. Insiders say that Alexandra is hugely flattered and tempted by taking on the role but doesn't want to compromise the work on her album. About the forthcoming album she has said that her next album will get "down and dirty", promising the record that will take risks. "It’s got to be sexy. So I’m going to get a lot fiercer and sexier. We’re just getting down and dirty with the next album. I’m going to take a lot more risks and it’s going to be insane." She also hinted at any collaborations on the LP, "I can’t say too much because my management will kill me if I let loose. But I have a special duet planned. I have the ideas, the collaborations in my mind - it’s all locked up in my head."
She is also doing her first national All Night Long tour so it will be a lot to fit in for the singer, but nobody doubts that she would be ideal for the role and could certainly pull it off.
