Upon winning X Factor, , which is similar to the U.S.A.’s American Idol, the 20 year old Alexandra Burke was overcome with emotion.

‘I have everything to thank you for. In my bones, I thank you,’ she said. Tensions that had been simmering between the judges during the contest were put to one side as the panel of four rose to their feet in tribute to a soulful new voice.

Head judge and the creator of the show Simon Cowell said he was rendered speechless after Burke was crowned winner, adding: ‘You deserved it.’ Runners-up JLS also thanked fans for their support and said they hoped this would kick-start their music career.
