Taking a brief break from recording her third studio album, Alexandra Burke performed tonight at NBA’s invasion of London town.
Unfazed by the thousands in attendance at the Pistons vs Knicks game, the X Factor graduate thrilled with a melismatic take on the UKs National Anthem ‘God Save The Queen’. Watch Ms. Burke soar after the jump…
And that, friends, is why Alexandra remains one of the most gifted vocalists the UK has produced in years! We’ve, quite literally, never heard the song performed that way. But oh did Alex nail it. Stellar.

I never heard the UK national anthem before, it’s beautiful.
It’s really not lol but Alexandra just changed it and made it beautiful, it’s never sung like that
AMAZING!!!! One of the most gifted voices in the game! Love her
The queen can kiss my black ass. She living off my tax dollars.
Look like kunta kinte
Foolish! Nonentity…
You still here Sybil?
What looks gotta do with anything..this post was about the PERFORMANCE that she KILLED..u f&*ckin haters
Oh my. So amazing.
Slayed all my faves to be honest.
Go off b****, go the f*** off with your bad self! Yah!
This girl has got one more time to shock me like this and I might have to start stanning for her.
Killed it.
THIS>>>>>>>>>>>
don’t get why this girl gets so much hate! amazing!
cute but she needs to be making hits now instead of wasting her time at all these free and not interesting media spots, get over to the USA and make some worldwide hits giiiiiiiirl
Wow. Beautiful. She made it her own and that has NEVER been done before on the UK’s national anthem I don’t think, shame she’s getting so much hate on Twitter for it!
Oh but I thought she was blacklisted in the uk? Gurl please
That poodle on her head distracted me…..
Thought she looked gorgeous actually…
She is getting hate in teh UK cos they do not like confident black women out there. Black women are suppose to stay in their place.
It’s real shame she never blew up like she was supposed to.
She needs to go to the US and give it another try, whatever it takes. That voice deserves to be heard on the right songs.
She sounded amazing. 1st time hearing the soulful version of the most basic of national anthems. Very impressed.
She’s the definition of a true star!
Hopefully her next record will focus more on her vocal abilities than the previous one.
She MUST use her vocal gift properly on her next album.
Powerhouse beast singer.
Still listen to her session on The Splash.
She gave God Save The Queen a soulful and us national kind of twist to it.
Love it
This is what the U.K national anthem needed! After years of hearing it sung in such a dull monotone way when our American counterparts have an anthem that is preformed in such a variety of ways and also sounds inspirational, Ms Burke slayed and may have also just made history! Hopefully the Anthem will be continued to be sung this way or at least inspire artists to be adventurous with renditions.
I agree and i think she blows Leona out of the water vocally (my personal opinion)
Awfull, trully awfull. Heard a thousand better voices down the pub, ridiculously uneccesary vibrato and peculiar phrasing….. stick to impressing the pop music buying public, average age 9, average I.Q. under 60
Alex always slays, it is time she got her dues and was an International star.
YES ALEXANDRA SING IT!
Never heard our anthem done like that.
That was really beautiful! Go Alex sis!
