In December 2008, Burke won the fifth series of the British reality singing competition, The X Factor, having previously entered in 2005. The singer received 58% of the final public vote. Burke's prize was a £1 million recording contract with Syco Records, a subsidiary of Sony BMG, including a £150,000 advance payment. Burke's debut single, a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" was released as the show's "winner's single". Upon winning the show, Burke remarked: "Thank you so much for making my dream come true. I'm the happiest girl alive."
In 2010, she released a deluxe edition of her first album entitled "Overcome" that includes additional tracklisting of 4 new songs, "Perfect", "Before the Rain", "What Happens on the Dancefloor" and "Start Without You".
Overall, her album is quite good with lots of songs which really suited her voice. There are few of my favourites namely Before The Rain, Perfect, The Silence, Overcome and Broken Heels.
Here are some of her videos .. Enjoy :)
