I love all reality TV - Strictly, 'The X Factor.' I really don't see why people are so snobby about it.
When I saw Adele, I thought: 'I'll give it an hour before people say I was her,' just because I was fat. When you watch 'X Factor,' you can bet your bottom dollar, every single fat singer sounds like me as far as the judges are concerned. Can you imagine if they did that with every black artist?
My mom and I shopped for my 'X Factor' outfits at La Cantera. We went to Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters. I live really close to the mall, so I'd always go there to shop.
You wouldn't find a Joni Mitchell on 'X Factor;' that's not the place. 'X Factor' is a specific thing for people that want to go through that process - it's a factory, you know, and it's owned and stitched-up by puppet masters.
The rest of my family are obsessed by 'The X Factor:' I'm intrigued by it, although its musical values are far away from mine, like a cup of tea with 400 lumps of sugar in it. There's something very strange about Simon Cowell's lips, isn't there?
To me, 'X Factor' is like Vegas. Fake, twisted, but kind of wonderful. Maybe I'm sick, but I find the whole thing quite funny sometimes.
There is usually an 'X factor' that is hard to define. For HTC, I think it is our culture. We embrace the best of our Eastern roots and combine it with the best of the Western cultures where we have leadership and offices. It makes the culture colorful as well as energetic and creative.
This whole 'X Factor' thing with people assuming I'm going to be a one-hit wonder - that won't happen with me.
When I came off 'The X Factor,' I wasn't necessarily the biggest thing. I really wasn't.
I didn't know what I was in for when I joined 'The X Factor' - I underestimated it.
