Burke praises "supportive" Beyoncé
Alexandra Burke has revealed that she stayed in close contact with Beyoncé while recording her debut album in Los Angeles. The X Factor winner, who performed with Beyoncé on the ITV1 show's final last year, admitted that the 'Single Ladies' singer had been supportive about her career. "I've definitely stayed in touch with her. She's absolutely a wonderful woman, just a normal person," she told Radio 1. "When she came in to the studio to visit me and listen to my songs, that for me was just out of this world." She continued: "I was singing a couple of ad libs, my eyes were closed, I opened my eyes and there she was standing there. I was just like, 'How do people do that? It's not right'. "She is very supportive and I'm just very thankful to know that I actually sang with her. It's just really weird to even talk about it. It's weird. It's Beyoncé, man."
