Hi another one bites the dust.
After being in the papers for a few months frockling in the sea in her bikini and coming out of nightclubs it appears Alexandre Burke recording contract with RCA is over.
I read in the daily mail yesterday that she has been taking acting lessons so she can secure a part in 2 musicals she is after and wants to pursue acting jobs now.
What happened to RCA America and working with top people in the states?
She has a great voice feel abit sorry for her that her recording career is over.

! The people have spoken!
who's alexandre burke? :eek:any sample of his songs?;)
I don't know what will happen with Alex's pop career, but I do know that it takes a lot of talent to be a top musical theatre star. I also think it is probably a more sustainable career than being a pop star which is usually very short term.
So if Alex takes that path, I wish her very success. I saw Will Young in Cabaret last year and he was outstanding. It didn't do him any harm.
She's the Xtra Factor winner, she had a huge hit with Misbehaving Boys a while back.
Is it a drag act?
What? Of course not her debut album, Overwhelmed, went multi-beige
However, her second album Heartfreak On Lol'd didn't even go copper...
Alexandre Burke LOL
There are no facts in your post. She has not officially announced that she is quitting music.
Not for much longer given the amount of ex reality stars taking theatre roles lol
the op suggests as much in the opening post, so that is why i asked.
I was just reporting the facts. She obv still not with RCA America otherwise she would not be aiming for the west end.
That is where all the failed music stars go.
Playing in front of hundreds in a theatre after losing your record contact is a step down.
I am sure she would prefer to play in front of thousands singing.
I have had issues with Ms Burke in the past; I think she has been disingenuous, I think she has been (let's say) over-confident and somewhat audacious, however I believe you need to adapt to whatever opportunities life gives you.
If, for example, she offered nothing else but a contract for the West End and puts that beside a tax bill then she cannot even think about anything but paying that. She cannot think about a US recording contract, a job on the X Factor, supporting Beyonce or any other pie in the sky idea. She has to think about what is on the table and what her options are.
Feet on the ground time I'm afraid. Those are the facts.
Most West End theatres seat a thousand plus, multiply that by eight shows a week and multiply that again by the months/years she would be in the role so she'd be playing to many, many more than she ever would doing a 15/20 date theatre tour.
There's nothing second class about appearing on the West End stage, quite the opposite in fact.
You keep saying that, but then where are they? I don't see any official words from Alexandra or her representatives in any of the "sources" you have cited in your posts. There is just no truth in this at all.
Nobody knows what she is actually working on because she has been relatively silent about the project, but if she's flying to and from the US regularly to record then I doubt her music career is over. A third album is still highly likely, she said herself that she had already started it.
You are just regurgitating rubbish tbh.
Alexandra said this herself:

I'm more inclined to believe her than some story you have gleaned from the Daily Mail. Case closed.
FYI, She never was with RCA US, she signed with RCA UK last year - and just because you're on a UK label doesn't mean you're automatically on it's US counterpart.
And what is with all this west end snobbery? There are people in the west end who are FAR more talented with their vocal abilities than some people in the music industry. Just because some people choose to go into acting & singing does not make them a "failure".
