This whole 'X Factor' thing with people assuming I'm going to be a one-hit wonder - that won't happen with me.

I don't care about the charts; I just want to make great music that I enjoy performing on stage and I'm proud of.

I think it's really important to do what you want to do because in the long-run it's your career, you want everything to go well and you want to be happy with what you're doing. It was really important for me to take control of my career.

I like to YouTube a lot, and try and find unknown singers.

When you see the mega-stars doing really, really well, it gives you hope that you could probably do that too.

In school, I was the quietest girl ever! I had a lot of trouble in school. Kids were mean to me.

There's lots of R&B blogs that I like going on and it basically just names new music that isn't out and won't be out for a long time and stuff. It just gives you an insight on what's coming up next and finding out about new artists.
