~Information~
Alexandra Imelda Cecelia Ewan Burke (born 25 August 1988) is a British singer and winner of the fifth series of UK television singing talent show The X Factor. Burke had previously auditioned for the 2005 series of the show, where she reached the last seven in her category but was not selected for the live shows.
Burke’s prize, as winner, was a recording contract with Simon Cowell’s Syco record label, whose parent company is Sony Music Entertainment. The contract has a stated value of £1 million, of which £150,000 is a cash advance and the remainder is allocated to recording and marketing costs.
On 15 December 2008, Burke became the current European record holder for single sales over a period of twenty-four hours, selling 105,000 copies of her debut single, “Hallelujah”, in one day. The figure beats that of her X Factor predecessor, Leona Lewis, who previously held the record for selling 82,000 copies of her single, “A Moment Like This”, over 24 hours.[3] Hallelujah went on to become the Christmas number one single of 2008. It was also announced as the top-selling song of the year on the BBC Radio 1 Chart Show on 28 December 2008, beating The X Factor finalists’ song “Hero”. It is the first time that an X Factor winner has topped the end of year chart in the UK with their winner’s single. Sales of “Hallelujah” passed 1 million by 9 January 2009, making Burke the first British female solo artist to sell a million copies of a single in the UK.
Her debut album, Overcome was released on 19 October 2009 and entered the charts at number one. It will be released in the US at a later date. Lead single “Bad Boys” featuring Flo Rida debuted at number-one in the UK, becoming her second consecutive number-one single. Alexandra has enjoyed a total of seven non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the UK Singles Chart (three with “Hero” with the X Factor Finalists of 2008, three with “Hallelujah”, and one with “Bad Boys”)

Lyrics:
1. Verse:
Some people call them players
But I’m far from terrified
‘Cause somehow I’m drawn to danger
And have been all of my life
Bridge:
It feels my heart’s divided
Half way between wrong and right
I know I’m playing with fire
But I don’t know why
Refrain:
Yeah, the bad boys are always catching my eye
I said the bad boys are always spinning my mind
Even though I know they’re no good for me
It’s the risk I take for the chemistry
With the bad boys always catching my eye
Ooh, Bad boys
2. Verse:
Some think it’s complicated
But they’re straight up fun for me
I don’t need no explanation
It’s nothing more than what you see here
Bridge:
My heart still feels divided
Halfway between wrong and right
I know I’m playing with fire
But I don’t know why
Refrain:
Yeah, the bad boys are always catching my eye
I said the bad boys are always spinning my mind
Even though I know they’re no good for me
It’s the risk I take for the chemistry
With the bad boys always catching my eye
Flo-Rida:
I know you want me shawty ’cause I’m a
(Bad boy)
Hey s-shawty can’t help it she so, so
Addicted to them rougher fellas
With even the alphabet
She only sings the crooked letters
Let mama take all the risks
For that chemistry, she like them tougher than leather
Not even the paws, it’s more like a mama bee
Out lost that’s on the reg’lar
By any means necessary, girl
She likes them ruthless, that’s my world
It’s not the news it’s what I heard
To get them more the merrier
It’s not a big surprise
I know them bad boys catch your eyes
Look at her walk when I go in disguise
You’ll have them shawty, don’t worry, you fly
Refrain:
Yeah, the Bad Boys are always catching my eye
I said the bad boys are always spinning my mind
Even though I know they’re no good for me
It’s the risk I take for the chemistry
With the bad boys always catching my eye
Yeah, the Bad Boys are always spinning my mind
I said the Bad Boys are always catching my eye
Bad boys, bad boys
