That's not true, Beyonce is a very busy women she's a workaholic !!! she's her own manager she takes her work very seriously, over time the journalists have become very rude and try to ask her very personal questions and she doesn't feel comfortable sharing and for crying out loud she has a husband and child to worry and take care for
It makes me chuckle when I think about how Simon said Beyoncé wasn't that good and was overrated but upon Beyoncé being called to the stage he was the first to jump up with a standing ovation 😂😂😂😂😂. Her "critics" are her biggest fans. Next to the #Beyhive of course 🐝🐝🐝
Simon wanted Beyonce' to be at X Factor but her father and she were still salty because of his previous comment. She only appeared on the show after he personally apologized to Mathew. According to her biographer
He then took it back and said “I once discredit Beyoncé then she came on my show and sanged better then anyone I every heard live in my life” 🥴 Beyoncé always gets discredit it for her vocals and ion like that she’s a vocalist that dances
I've notices that when Beyoncé sings with other people she does try to contain the power that her voice carries and let's the other person shine..... I love how conscious she is. But to me even then she kills it, so effortless
@@pinkrose372 Well yes... she’s like a master vocalist so she’s always at her best haha but she still holds back when with other people... unless she’s annoyed lol
Why the hell am I crying?! I've watched a lot of beyonce's performances but this.. I'm just really happy for Alexandra, because perform with beyonce was always also my dream. This show is just so, so moving.
RIGHT! I'm over here literally bawling, singing & wiping tears.. This performance was SOO emotional because that's somebody's dreaming coming true right before my eyes & Lord knows it had to feel great.
I don't even watch X Factor that often, but this clip always has me in tears. There's something so moving about watching someone achieve their dreams right before your eyes.
Still after all these years it still makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. The power on that stage hasn’t been replicated since. The ‘sing it girl’ gives goosebumps
X factor peaked at this moment and it was a slow steady decline downwards from here. At this moment in time, it was easily the biggest TV show on earth.
I think this is the best rendition of listen. Whoever’s idea it was to include that choir starting at 2:15 was a musical genius, I wish Beyoncé sang it with the choir all the time!!
@@ellesbelles77 i didnt even have to look at what video you were replying to bc theres only one performance that STILL makes me cry like a lil bitch and its this one
you know a person is a star when they completely outshine everybody without even trying or thinking about doing so, which is exactly what beyonce does! i had goosebumps before she even started singing!
4 years on; this still gives me goosebumps, and has me bawling. Beyoncé is the essence of a true star. ridiculously talented, completely gorgeous, yet classy, humble, gracious and polite, she's a true rarity, I don't know how anyone can have a bad word to say about her.
FOURTEEN years on, I was only a little girl when this aired in the uk, this moment still epitomises class and star quality. Beyoncé’s obvious love and care for Alexandra, the time she took to praise and support an up-and-coming female artist. She never overshines her, she understands that this is her moment and she allows her to have it. I have so much love and respect for them both. I remember watching this as a child, I cannot imagine what this must have meant for little black girls
@@bluedalia1114 except that Adele is not a C singer. But yeah, I also think that Adele, while unquestionabily great, might get a bit more credit than is due. Beyonce on the other hand is one of the most gifted singers I've ever heard. This vocal control is unreal.
Even watching this performance by Beyonce and Alexandra 12 years later still gives me goose bumps..what an amazing piece of television and what a privilege to have watched it live..one of best musical performances ever! 🙏🙏🙏 Bravo Beyonce and Alexandra
It's almost like she descended from the heavens to briefly bestow upon the mortals the talents of her voice. Even today I still think it's crazy she appeared on this show. Almost the same feeling as when she showed up on lip sync battle
what I love about Beyoncé is that not only she has ab absolutely amazing voice and talent but that she seems to be such a nice person!:) the way the treats Alexandra.. love it :)
The note at 2:30 is the best note Beyonce has actually hitten, that note was so clear beautiful, loud inna good way and she hit it like she weren't even trying loool
It's an E5. Beyonce has so many beautiful and effortless F5's in her career which is a note higher. At this point she has tackled everything her voice can do. Before any hype and names, she is pure skills and everything she has today is well-deserved!
Beyoncé and Alexandra 😍 so beautiful why am I crying😭 so emotional I know it was a wee while ago but must of been good to have Beyoncé standing right next to you and holding you're hand 😍😘
The best thing about this video is (apart from great vocals from both) that Alexandra cannot contain her overwhleming awe that she is singing with Beyonce. Love it
Alexander is a great singer she really is. Then Beyonce comes on and oh my god!!! she literally took the song up to a whole different level breathtaking singing❤❤❤❤
I know everyone else says B song Alexandra under the table but I think they both did an amazing job and each brought a unique tone to the song which actually went really really together. That final note is awesome!
Beyonce gave an unearthly vocal performance that night 💖💖.... this duet appearance will be remembered for a LONG time... talking about having pipes... WOW 👏👏👏👏
This still sends me chills, goosebumps and tears. I remember watching this live and having the same emotions I have today. What an iconic performance and duet. This was when X Factor was at its best.
Thinking about how Alexandra was told to bleach her skin. She’s so underrated 😔 You can find this on Little Mix member Leigh Anne Pinnock’s documentary
Probably the best x-factor moment of all time...no other x-factor duet compares. I am still surprise the effect this clip has on me everytime I see it. Besides Leona Lewis duet with Take That, this is incomparable. Beyonce is just a pure professional - in a class of her own.
This is one of tose CLASSIC/TIMESLESS Performances that 10-20 years from now you will watch it and still get goosebumps. Beyonce is absolutely incredible. And Alexandra has so much passion it's beautiful to witness.
I like how Beyoncé looks really calm yet she's producing such high vocals. That's class right there.
Favizzy She killed it live. What a voice.
You do your very best vocally the more relaxed you are.
Class and extreme talent!!!
Effortless
STFU
The single most powerful performance in X Factor history!
I agree but Nicole Scherzinger and Sam Bailey singing And I'm Telling You was pretty breath taking
+Tilly Sprague I agree these two performances between these four people are the best
+Montego Cahill The duet with Leona and Take That has got to be the most emotional and romantic
Montego Cahill was
Leona Lewis probably takes that spot
Even just not sounding terrible next to Beyonce is a huge achievement!
I’m a shocked! And I wanted to be a singer omg I’m so ashamed 😂😂
Ever heard of Destiny child ?
@@Iamkortni__ Haha. Hypemeister you.
Even if I sounded bad would still be a major achievement!!!
Right
remember when X Factor was big enough to bring in huge acts like this? Good times.
They paid Beyoncé £24 million to sing with Alexandra, has nothing to do with the X factor being huge as it still is a pretty huge show
+georgia chapman Source?
It was heavily reported everywhere at the time. It was on BBC news for one.
Beyoncé is now more expensive to book & wont hop off her high horse to make television appearances
That's not true, Beyonce is a very busy women she's a workaholic !!! she's her own manager she takes her work very seriously, over time the journalists have become very rude and try to ask her very personal questions and she doesn't feel comfortable sharing and for crying out loud she has a husband and child to worry and take care for
Probably the greatest moment the show will ever see.
Definitely it made me cry I can watch it over and over again 😃😃
Absolutely
I used to love X factor. This is my favourite video
I was crying too
I love the way Beyonce was being so sisterly to Alexandra,having her back
Beyoncé's voice is super clear, like crystals. I don't know how to describe it but it's distinguishable. So unique and light.
Imagine singing with Beyoncé and still managing to sound good 🥺 Alexandra was clearly so nervous/overwhelmed, but she still managed. That’s talent.
But Beyonce is not a great singer. There are many girls who sang this song way better than Beyince. One of them is Melanie Omaro from the U.S.
@@sipnog3528Beyoncé is a vocalist a good one at that! No one can sing this song like she can.
@@sipnog3528Melanie did not sing it better or even as good as Beyoncé.
When Alexandra says "...you made my dreams come true." Beyoncé made a face like..."Girl, stop...I'm just Beyoncé; it was nothing."😄
L. Hill omg I roared laughing at your comment.
Its was cute
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA STOOOP
I dont know how many times I played that part over and over again😂😂
Yeah I think she felt that way lol. Like I am human. She actually says that 😂
Alexandra couldn't believe that Beyoncé was singing at her side 1:53.
Rafael Araújo
Loool she thought she was dreaming
Aww bless her 😊
This is iconic.
👍
it was like a Disney cartoon
3:16 where Beyoncé is fixing Alexandria’s hair was such a sweet and vulnerable moment

But to me even then she kills it, so effortless
😢😢😢😢😧😧😧😧❤❤❤❤❤❤💞💞💞💞💞💘💘 👈👉
lol stawp beyonce was singing at her best she always sings at her best.
@@pinkrose372 Well yes... she’s like a master vocalist so she’s always at her best haha but she still holds back when with other people... unless she’s annoyed lol
Not when she was singing with celine. the whole emotion performance was vocals warfare between celine and beyonce and the minion of destiny
HER VOICE IS JUST STUPID POWERFUL MAKES ME CRY
This is by FAR the best duet on the X factor EVER. So beautiful, Alexandra Burke is so talented and lucky, Beyonce is a freaking legend.
Beyoncé seems so motherly with Alexandra it’s so cute
yes, Alexandra was emotional so Beyoncé tried to encourage her. very sweet
A true Virgo 💪🏿
Bey is so sweet with her genuine hugs and fixing the hair!!! She is the best!
Absolutely 💯💯 I love her so much
Yes! The hair fix for me! 🥹😭❤️

Totally with you on that. It's and always will be my favourite x factor uk moment!
Yesss actual tears, like why?
I cried because I love seeing people accomplishing their dreams. Gives you hope.
Because you're a P, with a capital P. Try crying over real world documentaries instead of fixed TV shows. Either I could S...you
Beyonce really is something else. Phenomenal. The control in her voice 2:30-2:37 in particular is breath-taking, what a wonderful talent.
I love the way Simon Cowell gave the first standing applause to Beyonce
Jumped up with a quickness 😂
Anyone else watching this in 2020 and crying their eyes out
I am way ahead of you. I am in 2030 watching this.
Literally started crying as soon as I saw the thumbnail. It's just so beautiful and powerful!
Yes but in 2021 😂
2021
@@sudesso yup same
tbh....Beyonce absolutely murdered this. I forgot the contestant was even standing there lol
Murdered in a good way?
Aaliyah Brookes no
beyonce I like you ,, I like beyonce love you
Like her voice is literally from heaven !
Jealous 🤣🤣🤣
Still the best X Factor duet ever
Didn't really notice Burke tbh 😂

Have you not watched Sam Bailey and Nicole Scherzinger? Far better.
Nicole tried her best to outsing Sam. Beyonce didn't

Okay now I understand why people are obsessed with beyonce because wtf!?!
Right! I’ve been obsessed since I was like 10 and my fan car re-signs itself with every video I watch cause...wow.
@@austinfrombustop wow same to me I love beyonce Soo much
You’re just now finding out what???!
To be fair, I would absolutely fall to shit if I was on stage next to Beyonce.
The difference between a class singer
And a world class singer right there
this was the moment i realized the power of beyonce's voice wowww...both of them wow
This is why she won. What a beautiful moment. I would be crying my eyes out too
THE most iconic performance in x factor history. And the way Simon hugged Cheryl as if to say YES, x factor is safe for another year.
Lol to the people who says Beyonce can't sing.
Who fucking said that. Those stupid fucks.
Exactly.. just EXACTY. They can kiss their goodbyes to us, jealous douchebags...
Who cared say Beyonce can't sing? O.o I think everyone knows she's an AMAZING vocalist.
Who says she can't sing .. They must be deaf and ignorant
No one says rhatv
Best moment ever on X Factor!
Till this date this is the best x factor duet of all time
I think this is the best rendition of listen. Whoever’s idea it was to include that choir starting at 2:15 was a musical genius, I wish Beyoncé sang it with the choir all the time!!
At the start I was like 'oh Alexandra has some pipes on her' but then Beyoncé came out and just completely wipes the floor with her ahaha - QUEEN
+Rhiannon x she is like a black female Elvis
@@imnotgayyy8489 Elvis can't hold a candle to Beyonce
It’s not a competition lol
Nah.
whack comment
I can't stop watching this, Beyonce's voice is sooo powerfull.
the way Beyonce carries herself is just incredible- but that final harmonising note they hit together is just GOLDEN x
It's been six years and I'm sat here crying like a 3 year old.

I come back to this video every friday night for comfort
Bravo miss B she made the high notes like the easiest thing in the world wow
SING IT GIRL. Ugh my whole life was SNATCHEDDD by this performance over a decade ago now 😭😭😭😭
2:49 their voices are so powerful not even the mic could handle it anymore, wow.
My God, I STILL get goosebumps and tears in my eyes. NOTHING will EVER match this on X Factor
These were the good days of xfactor. Now for special guests they get Ella Henderson and Labrinth.
The shade lol😂😂😂
Who the hell is Ella Henderson?
Exactly
ed sheeran was a better choice,wasnt he?
B3ansGuy ella henderson is a former contestant who was cheated out of winning, she is s superb brittish performer as is labrinth
Simon is just like everyone who says Beyoncé is overrated but then watch her live and... change their minds lol
Beyonce has a very magical voice.
A star vocalist and best performer alive
It's almost like she descended from the heavens to briefly bestow upon the mortals the talents of her voice.
Even today I still think it's crazy she appeared on this show. Almost the same feeling as when she showed up on lip sync battle
I was reading this why all the light things where coming down on the stage 😂 made me laugh she descended from the heavens 😂 she really did
2:28 is why she is a superstar
THE best moment in British Television nevermind the Xfactor. Utterly sensational, the whole night was incredible.
what I love about Beyoncé is that not only she has ab absolutely amazing voice and talent but that she seems to be such a nice person!:) the way the treats Alexandra.. love it :)
The note at 2:30 is the best note Beyonce has actually hitten, that note was so clear beautiful, loud inna good way and she hit it like she weren't even trying loool
DeAndré Sỳmz yes yes yes yes.. and I keep rewinding it
It's a short run. Worked well.
It's vocal resonance, when she sang 'gave', that made it sound so clear. The run was after when she sang 'me'.
so incredibly resonant, her voice is ALWAYS resonant but it's extra deep idk how to explain it but she was incredible
It's an E5. Beyonce has so many beautiful and effortless F5's in her career which is a note higher. At this point she has tackled everything her voice can do. Before any hype and names, she is pure skills and everything she has today is well-deserved!
Beyoncé and Alexandra 😍 so beautiful why am I crying😭 so emotional I know it was a wee while ago but must of been good to have Beyoncé standing right next to you and holding you're hand 😍😘
Bale Hulk I cry every time I see this....I saw it live in the Netherlands and I still come and watch it sometimes. Goosebumps.
The best thing about this video is (apart from great vocals from both) that Alexandra cannot contain her overwhleming awe that she is singing with Beyonce. Love it
I remember this made me cry the first time I saw it. Its just I was so happy for Alexandra she looked so happy and they both sounded amazing! ♡
WHAT. A. MOMENT.
12 years on and this is still the best duet the show or any other show like it has ever seen.
Alexander is a great singer she really is. Then Beyonce comes on and oh my god!!! she literally took the song up to a whole different level breathtaking singing❤❤❤❤
Beyonce is... ridiculously good! Damn.... Really??))) wow! No wonder they don't get her on the show anymore... She just steals the show)))

My favourite ever X factor moment, pure magic.

Best year of X Factor EVER!! Everything about this year is just amazing!
This was an EPIC performance! One of the best in the history of the show
I remember crying watching this live on TV. 2021 and it still makes me tear up 😂😂
Dermot calling Beyoncé “hun” 😭 😂
I was looking for this comment! 😂😂 💀
When I first saw this when I was little I was crying Alexandra Burke was living my dream
It’s 2023 and yet can’t get over this performance ❤
Stunningly pretty and what a voice....wow Beyonce too ..powerful!
Alexandra tryna keep it together always gets me , she was like woahh 😭 she did it tho
Papito 👀 get at me 😍
This was such an incredible moment honestly. Forget how good the performance was. Alexandra held her own. Beyoncé was effortless.
Alexandras tone is Everything!
And shes sooo gorgeous!!!
this the performance where beyoncé gave simon that look at the end for saying she can’t sing and changed his mind😩❤️❤️
Without a doubt the best duet in UK X factor History!
Best Xfactor uk moment ever and duet!
Thinking about how Alexandra was told to bleach her skin. She’s so underrated 😔
You can find this on Little Mix member Leigh Anne Pinnock’s documentary
Probably the best x-factor moment of all time...no other x-factor duet compares. I am still surprise the effect this clip has on me everytime I see it. Besides Leona Lewis duet with Take That, this is incomparable. Beyonce is just a pure professional - in a class of her own.
This moment was huge...hard to believe X Factor used to be this huge, all went downhill after this series
Beyoncé is f’n awesome…Only a genuine person would stop to fix someone’s hair!!!
One of those TV golden moments
Still giving me chills in 2012. It is the most viewed duet from the UK ever and will never be matched. But hey, that's beyonce
When Beyonce came in!..... Whoo! I got chills! I forget how great beyonce is until she sings right after somebody smh
There were multiple moments in this video that made me shiver in amazement. Wow, I love this so much!
She absolutely Slayed that performance!
Cheryl is absolutely stunning here, my god. I’m glad Alexandra got the recognition she deserved in the end.
12 years on & I still get goosebumps from this performance! Stunning!
This is one of tose CLASSIC/TIMESLESS Performances that 10-20 years from now you will watch it and still get goosebumps. Beyonce is absolutely incredible. And Alexandra has so much passion it's beautiful to witness.
This was the best episode ever 😭 ❤
still sending shivers in 2021
I AM CRYING
Tears in my eyes everytime b sing
Watching this performance 7years later, and I'm in tears...#powerful stuff right here!
Best ever X Factor duet. FACT!
