Beyonce has said that she was surprised by the impact of her performance on last year's 'X-Factor' final, at which she sang with winner Alexandra Burke.
Speaking to Celebs On Sunday magazine, the singer said: "I watched the show because I knew I was going to sing with one of the contestants, but because I don't live in the UK I didn't know the impact it was going to have. The day after I performed, I've literally never had so many people say they watched me. Every single person I met said, 'I saw you on X Factor', and I was like, 'This is weird!'"
Speaking about Burke, she added: "She's so talented and beautiful and her voice is so soulful. Actually, I wanted her to open my tour for me, but she hadn't finished her album so she couldn't do it".
