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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love finding new talent, to be completely honest, and my opportunity that I got to do 'X Factor U.K.' was just incredible. I will never forget it.
'The X Factor' is great entertainment, but it doesn't prepare people for getting chewed up and spat out by the music industry.
I didn't know what I was in for when I joined 'The X Factor' - I underestimated it.
I don't have that X factor; I have to bank on my skills, be true to my character, and hope to be accepted.
I think I've done everything on 'The X Factor' apart from the cleaning.
I'm a complete addict of The 'X Factor,' so I can see why everyone gets so inspired. But there's a downside to celebrity: your life is up for grabs, your career is much more disposable, and you are therefore vulnerable. It's a high price to pay.
Before going on 'X Factor' again, I felt like I'd tried everything else.
I like 'X Factor' as much as the next person, but I do get overwhelmed with the amount of reality TV. It's such cheap programming and such a load of rubbish, most of it.
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.
After the 'X Factor,' there were opportunities everywhere. It was all there waiting for me to enjoy. I didn't understand business.
