believe good grew knew needed sing
When I was on the X-Factor, I found that I grew a lot as a performer. I knew I could sing but I didn't believe in myself enough... I needed to hear that I was good.
came money needed work
I came from nothing. We didn't have money, so I started work at 14 because I really needed the money.
backup bench needed realising remember singer sitting york
I remember sitting on a bench in New York and sobbing and realising that my ambition to be a singer was making me selfish - I was a mother with two children, and I needed a backup plan.
bought loads needed phase worthless
After 'X Factor,' I got loads of gigs. Then I went on holiday just after the tour and bought my Rolex in Tenerife. I needed to go through that phase - splurge and see that it's worthless - to get it out of my system.
cut date loudly shout
My first-ever date on my first tour, the sound completely cut out. So I had to go on and just shout loudly to the audience.
good great hope love
I love a good remix! Moto Blanco did a great one of 'I Hope'.
freedom given
I think jazz has given me freedom with my voice.
allowed love
I think that's what I love about jazz is that you can do what you want, and you're allowed to mess up.
good
I was really good at manicures, facials and make-up.
album cool definitely single work
I think there's definitely a dance album or at least single in me somewhere. I would want to work with a really cool Ibiza DJ, though.
buy family lovely rule taught
My nan taught me never to put value on possessions but to value family, friends and people. I buy lovely things and enjoy them, but they don't rule me.
brought lovely loving mum
My mum is a lovely woman, so strong but so kind and compassionate. She brought us up to be proud, loving and forgiving.
learnt people society
I think, even in society, people get so caught up in how they look. I think I let that go, and I've learnt to not care.
good holiday musical positive sorrow
What I loved with Billie Holiday is she had a good way of parlaying the sorrow with a positive musical twist.
