When I was on the X-Factor, I found that I grew a lot as a performer. I knew I could sing but I didn't believe in myself enough... I needed to hear that I was good.

My original aim after 'The X Factor' was to earn enough money in a year to make the whole experience worth it - you know, buy a car, a flat.

Even before I auditioned for 'X Factor' the second time, I was doing a lot of dance music.

After the 'X Factor,' there were opportunities everywhere. It was all there waiting for me to enjoy. I didn't understand business.

I didn't know what I was in for when I joined 'The X Factor' - I underestimated it.

I'm proud to be involved with Simon Cowell and '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.

Before going on 'X Factor' again, I felt like I'd tried everything else.

I think I've done everything on 'The X Factor' apart from the cleaning.

'The X Factor' is great entertainment, but it doesn't prepare people for getting chewed up and spat out by the music industry.
