Alexandra Burke performs her new single live
Former X Factor winner Alexandra Burke performs a special acoustic version of her new single, Elephant, and talks about her love of her own backside!
MSN Music has had a soft spot for Alexandra Burke since we interviewed her the day after she won X Factor 2008. Our paths have crossed several times since, most recently on the red carpet at this year's BRITs, but we've only just managed to get her to record a live session for us.
Filmed at our favourite venue for such things, the Gibson Guitar Studio in central London, Alexandra laid down a very special acoustic version of her new single, Elephant, which is out on March 12.
She also gave us a typically fun interview, in which she discussed music, body image and her much talked about love life. Check out both in the video player below.

Which version of Elephant do you prefer?
We're not just saying this because she recorded it for us but we reckon the acoustic version of Elephant is better than the club-ready single. What do you reckon?

10/03/2012 08:31
love it ... a very talented young lady
10/03/2012 09:10
she's got a good voice but (like some other xfactor contestants) there's a
desperation about her that i just find off putting.
10/03/2012 09:23
Agree with John below, this song is so bland and has no character. This young lady has a good voice but now needs to find her own style/essence to go along with her voice.
No one needs to hear another generic pop song. Reminds me of another of our young singers here in the UK. Jamelia, great little talent that never found a decent song to be remembered for.

10/03/2012 19:13

10/03/2012 21:02

I love it
keep going
I love it

10/03/2012 23:46
A fantastic voice she young women, however I don't think I will going out to buy it.
A different sound, but heard her singing better.
12/03/2012 14:52
Very good voice but cant hear that with this song, i think she needs to do better songs or maybe sing songs like this in another style that shows how good she is, this does nothing for her because if i never knew she had a good voice this song would not have told me.
Still its early in her growth so im sure we will hear much better from Alex, still loving you child knew you was gonna get here from bout ten years ago
