When did you start singing?
I startedsinging at the age of 7, just in my room. Then a year later when I was 8, mymum and dad said that I should try some singing lessons. So when I startedsinging lessons, I loved it and then started singing in school shows and when Iwas 16 I started singing in pubs.
Why did you audition for X-factor?
I always knewI wanted to be a singer. I've been singing from the age of 7. I've alwayswatched the show and my family just said ‘might as well give it a go’ so… I did.
What did you do before the X-Factor?
Well because I'm 17 I was at sixth form studying my A levels. I also had a part time job workingat Greggs. Just to earn a little money. And when it came to singing, I used tosing in a pub around the corner from my house.
How has the ‘X-Factor’ changed your life?
Everythingis different, everyone knows me. Everywhere I go people recognises me and askfor pictures and autographs. I have been signed, so that’s changed everything! Andmy first single has just come out, which people are buying (thank you fans).And most of all I get to sing live, which is my dream.
Did you enjoy having ‘Gary Barlow’ as your mentor?
Yes! He is sonice, and helped me so much. He gave me great advice and support. He was great, couldn't ask for a better mentor!
How are your friends reacting to all the new fame?
My friendshave been very supportive. I know a lot of them are so proud of me, but theyknow I haven’t changed I'm the same old Lucy.
What you going to do now?
Well I'm touring a little to perform my new single. Then I have the ‘X-Factor’ tour inDecember. Then I guess I’ll be working on some new songs.
