    Hi Alexandra
    You were amazing on Saturday nights show.
    The reason I am writing this is because I was so taken aback at your family photos.
    I am married to Vernon Burke who is Jamaican and we are tracing our family tree and just wondered if you are family. You look so much like our daughter Shanica and the photograph when you were young look like our youngest son Jordan.Vernon’s Dad is Leford Burke and our family are from around Kingston, Spanish Town and Arcadia in the Parish of St.Thomas.I am currently in the UK visiting my family so could either you or your family let me know if there could be any connection.
    Have a great time on the show I know your gonna make it your a star.

Tonight’s performance (and show opener) has proved that she’s going to be a really slight pop star after this show. [...]

  10. [...] on the show. This could be seriously hit or miss for some of the contestants. No worries about Alexandra Burke, but will there be a problem for the male contestants singing Britney tunes? And how will Diana [...]
