Alex spoke to The Sun about possibly changing up her hairstyle for today’s Brit Awards. As of August 2009, Alexandra has been known for her Cleopatra-inspired bob and maybe tomorrow - we will see an entirely different look! I cannot wait to see what she comes up with!

Alexandra Burke has only one thing on her mind going into tonight’s Brits - her hair colour.

The X Factor winner said: “I like to make an impression and this year I plan to do something radical with my hair.

“I want to dye it red or green.

“People don’t realise how much effort goes into Brits night. The acts have to spend most of the day sat in hair and make-up.”

Alex will also let her hair down.

She said: “Last year I had just won X Factor and was told by my manager to be on my best behaviour, that it was best not to drink.

“So I was really well behaved and probably didn’t enjoy it as much.

“This year I’ll make up for it and have a wicked time. I’m going to enjoy myself.

UK website The Sun posted these very touching photos of Alex interacting with the children, dancing, singing with the people as well as an article on her visit. Alexandra also met survivor Kiki Joachin, who’s face appears on the cover of “Everybody Hurts” CD single.

After reading this article, I am very happy to say that Alexandra is my hero. Anyone who takes their time to visit Haiti and bring so many smiles to their faces has the upmost respect and love from me. Of course everyone can’t fly over but you CAN do something to help. You can buy the “Everybody Hurts” single or you can donate to your local food or toy drives for Haiti. I beg of you guys to PLEASE do anything you can do to help! They still need our help!

“Kiki is the bravest person I’ve ever met. I’m honoured to meet him and to sing on a record that has his picture on the front.”

“Despite going through hell, he’s still here smiling. He’s beautiful. I didn’t know what to say to these people who lost so much.

“They lost three other kids in the quake. I was really nervous. I broke down in tears when I read about them.

“It was great to see Kiki, Sabrina and David looking so well. They wore their Sunday best to meet us and it was an honour.”

Alexandra Burke is jetting off to Haiti on Monday.

The X Factor 2008 winner wants to see the devastation caused by last month’s earthquake first hand.

‘When [I was] asked if I would go to see the things for myself, I didn’t hesitate,’ Alex tells The Sun.

‘If I can raise awareness about how much support is needed then I’m there in a heartbeat.

‘I don’t think anyone can prepare for what it’ll be like but I’ll try to be strong.’

Alexandra, 21, features on Simon Cowell’s charity cover of REM’s 1993 hit Everybody Hurts in aid of victims of the Haiti earthquake.
The song will be available to download from 7 February.

Alexandra has voiced her desire to travel to Haiti to help out with the relief efforts there. She spoke to Digital Spy about it and I think this is amazing of her to want to go and help out.

Alexandra Burke has said that she would like to play a hands-on role in the Haiti relief efforts.

The X Factor winner has already teamed up with a group of other stars to record a charity single for the country’s earthquake victims.

The fundraising project is being masterminded by Simon Cowell, who has also recruited Mariah Carey, Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue for the cover of REM’s ‘Everybody Hurts’ among others.

Burke told the Daily Star: “I would drop anything for Simon. I flew back from Vienna to record and I’d like to go to Haiti and do what I can.”

The star’s fellow X Factor champion Joe McElderry recently expressed similar sentiments, saying that he would love to “go over and help” in Haiti
