Burke, Beyoncé planning to collaborate?

X Factor winner Alexandra Burke is reportedly in negotiations with Beyoncé about a possible collaboration.

Burke, who performed a duet with the singer on the ITV1 show last year, is reported to have been seeking advice from the star and her rapper husband Jay-Z.

Speaking to OK!, an unnamed source said: "Beyoncé is sure Alexandra has what it takes to be as big as Leona [Lewis] and she's planning to help her crack the US."

Burke, who has previously stated her desire to crack the States, is thought to have secured a £3 million record deal with Epic. She arrived in the US to begin work on her debut album last week.

Earlier this month, Burke and Beyoncé's rendition of 'Listen' on X Factor was voted the most memorable reality moment of the year at the inaugural Digital Spy Reality TV Awards.
