judge private realise
I do think that when you get older, you kind of learn not to judge because you realise that no one's perfect, and we're all fighting our own private demons.

I've been hugely inspired by the songwriting of Lauryn Hill and Tracy Chapman - on their albums, they really tell it like it is.

I've always been interested in beauty. I studied it when I was 16 and 17, and I know it's a good idea to invest in something alongside my music.
bit foundation life model obsessed pop secret trying
Sometimes I won't put a lot of make up on; I won't put foundation on. I'll just pop a bit of blusher on. I'm not obsessed with trying to look like a Victoria's Secret model - it's real life.
best buying guilt loads mum realised
You always have guilt as a working mum, and you overcompensate by buying them loads of things. That was what I was doing, anyway. I've kind of realised now that I'm the best mum that I can be.

I was really good at manicures, facials and make-up.
freedom given
I think jazz has given me freedom with my voice.

We have two older brothers and two younger sisters; Sam and I are in the middle, and I've always felt protective and closest to him.

I do love dance music, but at the same time, I'm not looking to put out a big pop album. You've got to be the best you can be.

I can do an OK manicure, but I need to stick to singing.

After the 'X Factor,' there were opportunities everywhere. It was all there waiting for me to enjoy. I didn't understand business.
happened people poor stuff
A lot of negative stuff has happened to me - that's why I'm tough - but I don't want people to be like, 'Oh, poor Becky,' because I'm not a victim.
