Alexandra Burke X Factor 2005

[SuperBernibear]

It's funny coz she sang this as her audition in 2008 gowann guru!

[miksutus989]

She was pretty good then , 2005, already. Thank god she later won and got her career. Bless you Alex.

[AAAABritish]

simon looks like hes got younger as hes got older, hmmm? whats going on there?! lmfao

[rexybexy134]

she's better in the 2008 audition deffo

[TopGeeh]

LOOL Simon looks... DIFFERENT OLDER. LOOOL. Alex Looks so much older . But she was better in 2008

[misterinside]

hmm?????????

[Depsrain]

Both auditions 2005 and 2008 sounds the same for me ..i think she won 2005 too ...

[Willou725]

@Depsrain Not agree.In 2005 she sings without emotions, perfect voice but she seems not to live what she sings...in 2008, she's stressed, her voice is soulful and her singing full of emotions, she believes on what she sings!! that is the difference for me

[TheGeoControl92]

@Willou725 i agree with you... i noticed that in this audition she sang the first part (the low one) with a sort of haste looking forward to sing the high part. in this way she sang it like a shopping list... with no emotion... the second audition was 100 times better...

[lucymayb]

OMG 

[ThePlantacious]

0:11 OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[minniefluff9595]

1:12 Simon calling Alexandra babe lol!!!

[cannoir]

she has very fine features

[fionacosta2]

haha lol the EXACT thing happened in 2008.she passed (she was the last audition of the day) aand the judges couldn't get her off their heads ;D

lol she's amaaazing btw <333

[joepaulyn1720]

rily i tot ur aroung 20

[TomKennyIsLovely]

Haha, bet Louis is kicking himself now.

[ElgartheWise]

@TomKennyIsLovely Well, I don't know how she did during the rest of the 2005 competition, maybe she wasn't actually ready then. But, in any case, I think it worked out for the best for her, because even if she had won it then, she wouldn't be able to make the most of it due to her age, whereas when she won the 2008 one she was ripe and ready, I think the timing was perfect.

[shellyred1985]

@TomKennyIsLovely i doubt it, Shayne was a very worthy winner that year, he just didnt get the right managment unfortunately. And i dont think alex would of won in in 2005. There were acts with better voices then her at the time i.e Brenda, Andy, Maria and Shayne

[TomKennyIsLovely]

@shellyred1985 Oh yeah, Maria! I remember her. She was amazing.

[AJ7Singer]

she got better

[cooliereal]

why didn't she make it that time?

[StarzzProduction]

look at her hairline here and look at it nowadays seriously the weaves did some serious damage!! now back to the topic she is soo good glad she didnt quit after this

[speccwolf]

[jinjabreadboi]

[cityofangelsx]

[SweetieBabe98]

[AAGGRRYY09]

[scottcruickshan]

OMG X FACTOR 2005 when the editing and sound effects and graphics were at a minimum and you could actually watch more than one audtion without an advert break !!!!!!

[Kizillia]

Simon knows talent when he sees it.

[DIONETO]

So she was 16 in 2005 and singing brillantly like that? OH MY GOD!

[jungleVIP]

how is it that simon looks younger now? hmmm...

[andgiekay2]

same song she done for the audition that made her big, well done alexandra, u did improve soo much, even in the emotion

[DiamondMimiF]

woah old x factor :/

alex has definately improved.... her style and her hair just werent workin it back then.

and the year she came back was probably the best year :D

[LifeWithHemza]

simon looks much younger now.... botox???

[McBrideKirsty]

she looks more 25 here than 16! she did sound good back then but miles improved now, no wonder she won the x factor 4 years later!

[00bleeding]

who knew that in 3 years she'll win the show??

[susannealeksleona1]

i love you :))she is my idol and leona lewis

[soulfly499]

un real she was great in 2005 and did not make it she come back in 2008 and sang the same song it was un real she was incredable leona may have the power ballads but alexandra is the amazing all round singer she has it all i think your amazing alexandra

[bahmeesh]

[mrkphllps]

such an arselicker!

[Megz6995]

she's amazing.

Simon looks so old there :O he's getting better with age :L

[teacherkate1]

Just incredible the difference 3 years made. You can see the life experience coming through in the 2nd audition and I don't usually believe in that, but she is world class now.

[Darrylyates09]

HIStoryEMD- i agree, i dont think shane would have won,

[HIStoryEMD]

wonder if she got through to da live shows would shane of won?!?!?!?!

[ahamiltonx]

@HIStoryEMD YES SHANE IS GORGEOUS :p lol

[HIStoryEMD]

@ahamiltonx muwa???? :P

[amylily123]

[Eugene12051991]

She sounded good still!!

She sound the exact same now What was wrong with her!!!

I love it

Her Trills, Riffs, nd Runs were on Point!!

[KirstySpencer1991]

@Eugene12051991 Her voice is now much stronger.

[ivanaaa93]

whats the name of this whitney song?!?

[CherylFanUSA]

@ivanaaa93 Saving All My Love For You

[MrBenterry]

shes was so much better the second time she entered

[sugerbabev1978]

@MrBenterry i agree she was way stronger and more mature in her voice

[chickenpotpie246]

17 people missed the like button....

[eclectica1]

@chickenpotpie246 or it could be the case that 17 people dared to go against the status quo and express an opinion they're perfectly entitled to, whether you like it or not.

[toffemAtty]

OMG she cry again...

[robbodogs]

SHES FAB

[rosaliehalevampire]

I understand what Louis meant now...and she definitely grew up so much as a person during those 3 years.

[blade0954]

talent,work hard,the worlds your oyster,good luck to her,amazing voice

[StarzzProduction]

she was very good here but she knew what it meant to her the next time around so she gave it more and boy can you tell she did

[superman0798]

Imagine if she had simon that year, she would have got through to the live stage and won that year (but only with simon) and the next year Leona would have come onto the show and insted of leona having that huge success it would have been Alexandra-how weird is it just thinking about it-i mean everything would have been different now!

[fang007vp]

That makes no sense.....so your saying if Alexandra won before leona she would of had more success....how does that work out?.....Leona is successful because of her talent, not because she won before or after someone!

[superman0798]

She looks terrible here, she looks way hotter 3yrs later and she sounds alot more stronger 3yrs later!

If she got through to the live stages here she wouldn't win because Louie would have been a terrible mentor and chosen weak songs as 3yrs later Cheryl was way better since shes a way better judge!

[AnarhMerryGold]

she was so much better 3 yearss after.

& she looked better:)

[CZed91]

always the last person to audition of the day.. Alexandra..

the same thing happend three years later..

same song

same words from the judges.. and the same comment of the host..

"..there's one person who the judges still cant get out from their heads.." i mean the same words..

[TheKate1098]

[Theblackbarbie698]

[TheSMC2009]

You See Shes Amazingg In This Auditions The Judges Couldnt Forget About Alexandra N Her Other Auiditon In 2008 They Couldnt Forget About Her And Thats How Amazing She Is Wooww Lool

[Deannarulez09]

why did louie not put her through but he put jedward through???

[MrJak925]

because Jedward is irish, only reason ¬_¬

[CookieMagicx]

haha lol that's so true

[YouBeingRacist]

because Lois is racist, and Jedward a Irish.

Proof: JLS: every SINGLE audition the other judges said that it was the wrong song (Lois gets to choose), this came all over in the papers.

[Theblackbarbie698]

@YouBeingRacist lol nice name

[iamaflowerpot]

luv alexandra! louie made the WORST decision!!!

[TheJade90]

He didnt really make the worst decision as she come back three years later being a better person and much better singer.

[moonsandstars123]

She sixteen?she so good

[kharitaskevin]

I think thats her lucky so song...SAVING ALL by WHITNEY.....

[Yeungy09]

Shayne Ward won it that year. Anyone notice she sang this same song in first audition last year?
