I believe I could have had a career in the music industry without 'X Factor,' but it was an amazing platform that propelled me to where I am now.

It takes me a while to come out of myself and get to know people.

I don't really read the tabloids, and you never know if what's being printed is true or not.

I really love getting hot stone massages. They really help me relax and it's so soothing for your muscles.

I think when people see that you are shy, or even just calm, collected and reserved, they think you can be pushed around, made to do everything they want - but that's definitely not true of me. The people closest to me know that's not the case. They know I'm not a pushover.

I love a beautiful gown on stage, and luckily I've been fortunate to wear some amazing dresses.

People write music, and the music is out there for people to interpret it how they want to.
