Anything that is unexpected is the X-factor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never know what is going to have that 'X' factor and what isn't.
I didn't know what I was in for when I joined 'The X Factor' - I underestimated it.
I put a lot of pressure on myself, but I also have what I call an X-factor.
This whole 'X Factor' thing with people assuming I'm going to be a one-hit wonder - that won't happen with me.
'The X Factor' is great entertainment, but it doesn't prepare people for getting chewed up and spat out by the music industry.
You don't have to be the sexiest girl or the most talented person to have the X factor. X factor is something you are born with that is your own. And the moment that you realize how to tap into that quality that you have within, and how to bring that individuality out of yourself, that is when you discover the X factor.
When you come off 'The X Factor,' you're more likely to be a failure than a success because people almost want you to fail. There's this kind of feeling that you're separate from everyone else. You get it from artists, people in the industry, people at record labels.
To be the most successful male from 'The X Factor' is a big achievement, and I'm chuffed with that.
'The X Factor' seems to be more about building up personalities and people in tears. And it's not a new idea. The pre-Beatles pop world was full of manufactured pop stars. The thing is that you can't imagine any of the artists you look back at and admire ever going on 'The X Factor.'
What's amazing with 'The X Factor' is that it gives people a chance who wouldn't normally have one. I couldn't go on it, because it would be, like, me being lazy, because I've definitely had my opportunities.
