The Alesha Show is the second studio album by British singer Alesha Dixon. It was released by Asylum Records on 24 November 2008 in the United Kingdom. Her first album to be released domestically following the cancellation of her debut album Fired Up (2006), Dixon used her full name for the first time while releasing The Alesha Show after previously being credited mononymously. Producers on the album include Brian Higgins and Xenomania as well as Steve Booker, Harvey Mason, Jr., Kuk Harrell, Stephen Lipson, Soulshock & Karlin, Alex da Kid, and Al Shux.

The album debuted and peaked at number 11 on the UK Albums Chart and reached the top 30 in Finland and Spain. In the UK, it was eventually certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales in excess of 300,000 units. The Alesha Show was preceded by the Xenomania-produced single "The Boy Does Nothing",^[2] which became a top ten and a gold-seller in the United Kingdom. A deluxe edition of the album, entitled The Alesha Show – Encore, was released on 23 November 2009. The first single from the Encore edition was "To Love Again". All the singles released from the album, including the Encore edition, reached the top 15 on the UK Singles Chart.

[...] Reviews of the album were mixed, with The Times calling it, 'A restless scamper through feisty R&B, 1960s soul, big band swing and misty eyed balladry, The Alesha Show has many collaborators as it does styles. The first half, with the groovy "Let's Get Excited" and the tongue-in-cheek, mambo style "The Boy Does Nothing", is great fun. But the "killer" love song turns out to be a damp squib, while the Euro-funk filler "Ooh Baby I Like it Like That" is just as inane as its name.'
