We are all lucky to be here, we are lucky to be on stage and have millions of people watch us.

After a gig I get to the hotel all psyched-up from being on stage and get stuck into 'Homes and Interiors' magazine.

I don't think any of us can compete with Cowell. He is the best at what he does.

How could you fear a dearth? Have not mankind tho' slain by millions, millions left behind?

The one thing that came back to me was how lucky I was to be standing there on that stage and it's all because of the benevolence of others and the great gifts and traits they helped me with and instructed me with all through my life. I could not be there without the coaches, the mentors, without the teammates I was able to play with all those years.

We are constantly reminding them that they are in a competition. I had a word with all my contestants and I know Kelly Rowland had a word with hers. It's reality check time.
