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

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.

Anything that is unexpected is the 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.

I don't have that X factor; I have to bank on my skills, be true to my character, and hope to be accepted.

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.

I put a lot of pressure on myself, more than anyone else.

I never thought I'd go on a show like 'The X Factor,' simply because I didn't have enough confidence to do something like standing on a stage to have opinions thrown at me.

It has been hard for me in a sense because from an industry point of view - I don't care if I'm from the 'X Factor;' I embrace the fact that I'm from the 'X Factor,' but other people don't embrace that.
