It's Monday morning, we're back here at- No, let's try that again.
It's Monday morning, we're here at X Factor HQ with the gorgeous Stephanie and we have
your twitter questions.
What do you think went wrong this week?
I think I had a very distinct sound, something X Factor's probably never had, and it may
have just not connected. And I feel okay, I feel like I wanted to stay true to myself
because after the show you hopefully want to be an artist and you don't want to make
the mistake people make to be something on the show and put out a record and then people
go, 'It wasn't like that.' So as long as you stay true to yourself, I don't think you can
make that mistake.
Yeah, wise words. Love that answer. What is the next step in your career?
Well, there's a lot of exciting stuff coming up. I mean, I found myself as a person so
I'm just excited to see how it goes and take one step at a time. And I never thought I
would get to the live shows, like, ever. I didn't think I'd get past the first room audition,
so, yeah. It was all a bonus. Anything past Judges' Houses is like wow. I want to get in
the studio and record some stuff and be really excited. I mean, we had an amazing opportunity
on the X Factor. Hopefully go see the contestants some time and support them, I love them all
and I want them all to do well, so.
That's so sweet. What was the best thing about having Cheryl as a mentor?
The best thing with Cheryl was the fact that she saw herself in me. Like, we were both
in bands, we both went solo then both found it hard and it was just nice having her there,
trying to get me through it and, yeah, she really gets it and she knew she was taking
a risk with me, she said it last night, she knew it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea
but she was like, 'Sometimes that's not a bad thing sometimes it's a good thing.'
Her favourite artist, some people love, some people hate and it doesn't matter.
Was she quite mumsy? I mean, did you speak on the phone quite a lot?
Yeah, we spoke to Cheryl quite a lot. She always text us every day, like, 'How are you?
How did today go?' She was lovely. Like, the perfect mentor ever.
Do you think you'll stay in contact?
Definitely. I definitely think we'll stay in contact with each other, just because we
all had this bond and she wants us all to do well after the show. She loves all of us girls.
Did you meet her husband?
Yes!
Isn't he gorgeous?
He's the most amazing person. They have like this- I don't know, it's very odd. It's like
a really close connection. He looks after her, like, every time she's going down the
stairs he'll make sure she's okay. She's like a princess. She's literally beaming.
Have you seen how, when they say her name now, she's like-
She loves it.
So sweet! If you didn't have Cheryl as a mentor, which judge would you to have had?
It's quite difficult but probably Mel just because she's all about girl power, she's
quite fierce, quite honest and, yeah. Mel B.
I love her. Just love her on the show. I'm like, 'Mel B! Mel B!'
I love her, she's so honest. And she's quite constructive, it's not mean. When she says
something, she means it to help you rather than, 'you're bad.'
Totally. Who was your favourite contestant in the start of the live shows?
My favourite contestant? It depends, if you ask me who I thought my favourite was in terms
of singing, it's different. But favourite to me is someone I'd want to go see in a concert
so probably Blonde Electra, just becasue they're so fun. They're like Miley meets Ke$ha and
Iggy and everything mixed together. I'd watch them in an arena, so.
Totally, they'd put on such an epic show.
Yeah, I mean, I miss them. Like the first week, I was like, that's such a shame but
that's gone.
What was your opinion on Overload Generation?
My opinion of Overload were, they were the loveliest boys and they just didn't really
get a chance, like, the first week that you go is like you didn't really get a chance
to show or have your moment. That's kind of the same as if you go week two, like me and
Chloe, but they're the loveliest boys. They're so down to Earth and they're quite shy. Like,
they're not as confident as people think. They just keep themselves to themselves,
just lovely guys.
A twitterer says, 'You're absolutely stunning. Where are your outfits from?'
Oh my God. I don't know, I wish I knew so I could go buy them! The stylist just gives
you them, but you don't get to keep them so I'm a bit gutted about that.
Did you have a fave?
Yeah, the one I wore yesterday. It was a Versace skirt. I would never be able to afford that
in my life. They were literally like, 'Be careful, be careful.' I think they were gonna
return it, I'm not sure.
X Factor Princess, absolutely love it. Thank you so much.
- Thank you for having me. - You've been such a dream.
- Great, fab stuff. - Love it.
