Alexandra Burke is the winner of The X Factor 2008.

The 20-year-old - who peformed a duet with Beyonce Knowles - got 1 million more votes than runners-up JLS.

Eoghan Quigg took third place on the The X Factor final last night.

JLS were disappointed to be beaten into 2nd place but still have a great future ahead of them.

Cute Eoghan Quigg, 16, also has a huge fan teenage fan base.

As winner of The X Factor, Alexandra scoops a £1m record deal and will release her stunning version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, a cert for the Christmas No 1 slot.

Alexandra was so overwhelmed by her win that she fell to the floor in front of host Dermot O'Leary, speechless with emotion.

Finally, Alex composed herself so that she could sing Hallelujah as X Factor winner 2008. But her voice broke halfway through the song because she was still so choked.

I know what you mean Sharon, there's something about Alex that I just do not like. She doesn't seem genuine to me, but I can't put my finger on it. I know many people will disagree as she obviously has a large fanbase, but I'm just not one of them at all. She's not a patch on Leona, she's a sweetheart!
