Alexandra Burke "Me And Leona Are Completely Different"

Alexandra Burke has distanced herself from Leona Lewis comparisons, insisting that she is different.
Since winning the X Factor earlier in December, the 20-year-old has already topped the UK singles charts for two weeks running with her debut 'Hallelujah', but many critics have been comparing the singer to the 'Bleeding Love' star.
"At the end of the day, Leona is a fantastic singer and a fantastic person, but people need to realise that we are completely different," Alexandra tells Heat magazine. "There is enough room for both of us."
On their different styles, she explains: "Leona is a little Mariah. With me, I hope I can show that I'm a little Beyoncé."
Beyonce is a big influence on the singer, and Alexandra even got the chance to duet with her idol during the X Factor final - a performance that left her in tears, as she was so overwhelmed.
Alexandra also revealed that she will be touring with the 'If I Were A Boy' singer: "Beyoncé and I got on really well during the show and I asked if I could support her on her tour and she said yes, so we're trying to make it happen."
