Singer Beyoncé Knowles has said that she was shocked by the reaction to her performance on 'The X Factor' last year.
The singer appeared on the final of the show, performing her hit 'Listen' with contestant Alexandra Burke.
According to Celebs on Sunday, Knowles 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 the winner of the show, Alexandra Burke, she said: "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."
