Lady GaGa has criticised X Factor winner Alexandra Burke.

The singer, whose single 'Just Dance' will reportedly knock Burke's 'Hallelujah' from the number one spot this week, claimed that her ascension in the music business is more valid than that of a reality show winner.

"If you win a TV show and you have a hit record, you sort of have a false understanding of what it means to earn success," she told The Sun.

"The shows are set up for a winner, for someone to win. Whereas with someone like me, who writes my own songs, you have to set yourself up to win."
