London, December 27 (ANI): Alexandra Burke, winner of the fifth series of UK TV talent show ‘The X Factor’, has compared herself to the renowned R&B lady Beyonce Knowles, saying they both have an alter ego onstage.

Burke revealed that like the multi-million selling Grammy winner, she too becomes “a different person” while performing.

The 20-year-old Brit, whose prize was a recording contract, estimated at 1 million pounds, with Simon Cowell”s Syco record label, further said that she was still struck with the former Destiny’s Child singer.
