I was just a normal tennager. In my own little world most of the time, college through the week, a saturday job in the loacal chip shop, spending time with the friends like you do. Then one day I remember spotting a poster on the college door saying "rehearsals at dinner today for clarendon has talent". I was very shy as a teenager, I couldnt even walk up the road alone being scared that someone was going to give dirty looks. Anyway, the day that I saw the poster I didnt really think anything of it. So I just carried on to the canteen as usual. I waited for leanne and kirsty, my bestfriends at the time, as they were always a few minutes after me. I remember sitting there on my own reading my sociology book with my earphones in, singing along as you do, I didnt think I was singing as loud as I was though, I looked up from my book and saw that the whole canteen was looking as me! It was one of the most embarassing times of my life! The next minute they all stood up and was cheering for more. That was when I got the confidence to do the rehearsals. Leanne and Kirsty came with me, I remember standing there in complete shock thinking "why am i doing this". After I sung the song "reach for the stars", by S-club 7, every one cheered and jumped up from there seats. That was the first time I had ever done anything like that. After a few years passed I had done more and more shows. I had different idols as the years passed. Nikki minaj and Cheryl cole are the two main ones now. I entered the X-Factor last year and this is how I ended up here. I now have a massive obsession with looking good! I bet sound like a right bitch, but if my hairs a mess or I have spots, I cant leave the house! Its just the way Ive been for the past few months, with all the photo shoots Ive had to do, Ive had to be edited to be put in the magazines and for my new album cover Ive had to have my blemishes sorted out and the bits of hair out of place have had to be removed. Id love a picture to be put in the paper or a magazine that hasnt been edited and look it and think I look good for a change, that is why I am so fussy about the way I look.Any way my road to stardom has been very long and rocky, but I am finally where I want to be, and I wouldnt change my lifestyle for the world! I love waking up early wondering what the day would be. The advice I would give to my fans is that no matter how little confidence you have, do what you love and see the outcome you will receive. Without that 3 minutes confidence Id still be working in my chip shop on a saturday afternoon!
