Alexandra Burke wants to be a "little Beyonce Knowles".

The pop star is keen to distance herself from fellow 'X Factor' winner Leona Lewis but is happy to be compared to her idol, who she duetted with during the final of the British TV talent show.

Alexandra said: "Leona is a fantastic singer but people need to realise that we're different. There's enough room for both us. Leona is like a little Mariah and I hope I can show that I'm a little Beyonce."

One way Alexandra does want to imitate Leona is by emulating the incredible success she has enjoyed both in the US and UK.

She added: "I don't to just sing covers. I want to do what Leona did and go to Los Angeles and work with producers. It would be great to have the success she's had."
