Luke did a Q&A on this site earlier:
https://www.talktalkxfactorwintickets.com/qa/qa.php#_=_ _

You can only access the link through facebook so i'm going to type it here so everybody can read it.

Emilia Marsh: How old was you when you started singing?

Luke Friend: I was about 12 or 13 when I started gigging! I did open mic nights from then on - and I realised I could sing when I was about eight.

Suzy Ryall: Who has been your biggest inspiration so far?x

Luke Friend: There have been so many but I'd say my main one is Jeff Buckley. Just because his music got me into song-writing, got me into playing guitar... he really inspired me.

Hannah Carradice: What made you think about growing your hair and having it in that style?xxx

Luke Friend: I didn't do it to stand out - that happened by accident really. I wanted to experiment with it and I like it so I'll keep it this way for a bit

Jodie Russell: Hi lukey , what has been your favourite performance you have done so far? , love you! x

Luke Friend: My favourite has to be Kiss From A Rose - it's one of my favourite songs and I got a great response from it. Plus Seal tweeted me after that performance. ps. I love you too

Natalie MacFarlane: If yoi got to the final who would you want to duet with? Dx

Luke Friend: Either Pearl Jam's lead singer Eddie Vedder or Stevie Nicks. They're big inspirations too.

Waffle Shire: What colour boxers are you wearing right now? bc ilysm -
@CookiePieNarry x

Luke Friend: I'm wearing... let's have a look... a dark grey pair!

Chelsea Dykes: What advice would you give to someone who wants to make it as a singer? I love you x

Luke Friend: You need a good work ethhic and you have to believe it yourself, even when people don't support you. Take comments on board and use it to get better and HAVE FUN!

Laurie Gomez: Favourite song?

Luke Friend: Of all time? Oh my goodness... that's a hard question! Ther eare so many. and they change all the time but one that has affected me from my favourite film is Heroes by David Bowie. That song is just brilliant.

Amy Sherlock: What country do you most want to visit? I love you

Luke Friend: Hi Amy! I'd love to visit to Australia - my best friend has just moved there and she looks like she's having an amazing time.

Georgia Hamilton-Mills: if you could have any super power, what would it be? oh and i love you insane amounts! xxx

Luke Friend: I'd like to be able to read people's thoughts because I'm quite a nosy person, like Mel Gibson in What Women Want.

Anastasia Ioannidou: What do you do in your spare time?

Luke Friend Play my guitar or listen to music. See what else is out there. And I like to hang out with my friends as well.

Chelsea Kyle X: What's the best thing about being on X Factor???

Luke Friend: It's amazing seeing the loyal fans who have come about. It's a lovely thing and I hope these fans will be with me for life. Also, we've made lifelong friends here.

Madison Gill: Can you twerk?

Luke Friend: Haha OF COURSE I CAN! I might do a demonstration on my Instagram soon...

Wedge Wright: if you hadn't of gone on the x factor what do you think you would be doing now? x

Luke Friend: Erm.. a lot of gigging and writing. I haven't written as much as we're so busy

Martha Thompson: What is the favourite song that you've written? Mine is probably fame of the unfortunate girl! Love you so much x

Luke Friend: Ahh, thanks for listening to my songs! Mine is either Commitments or Good Timings Part One

Leonella Rustamova: When is your birthday? I'm really wondering!!!))

Luke Friend: It's April 30th )

Sarah Thorne: Hey Luke! What would you describe as your perfect girl? I love you!

Luke Friend: I don't know, I haven't her yet...

Rebecca Charman: What is your favourite place in Devon?

Luke Friend: It's probably Totnes - it's so lovely, old villagey and just really special.

Molly Brown: How did you think of calling your fans friendies?

Luke Friend: My people came up with it! I asked them to come up with a name and that seemed to be most popular.

Emily Rigg: Can you roll your tongue? Doing my biology questionnaire for homework

Luke Friend: Yes I can. VERY WELL.

Jade Nevine Towers: What is your favorite item of clothing? xxxx

Luke Friend: I'd say either a jacket or shoes. I recently got some Doc Martins and I LOVE THEM.

Natalya Hinde: Which was your least favourite performance? Or hardest? I love you! X

Luke Friend: Probably Let Her Go, but that's one of the ones I got a great response from. It's just not something I'd normally sing.

Bethany Thomas: What is your favourite song to okay on the guitar?

Luke Friend: At the moment it is Old Pine by Ben Howard or a 1975 track.

Macy-Leigh Birleson: When you finish performing what is the first thing you do? Love you i'm voting<3

Luke Friend: Thank you for voting Macy-Leigh! The first thing I do is sit down and chill out - I try and breathe

Lucy Rafferty: What is your favourite colour?

Luke Friend: Last few questions... it's turqouise! I LOVE that colour. It's the best colour ever.

Danielle Chambers French: are you any good at art? x

Luke Friend: Last couple of questions guys, keep 'em coming!

I wish I was but I'm not very good at art or drawing. I'm very messy!

Leannah Rose: will I ever get to meet you?

Luke Friend:: Hopefully! I would love to meet you!

Katie Duggan: can you do the splits

Luke Friend: Maybe a couple of years time... just need a stretch!

Bethany Thomas: What was the last book you read?

Luke Friend: LAST QUESTION!

I think it was Twilight - the first one. I really liked it but I have a low attention span when it comes to books.

Thank you SO much for all your questions guys. I really appreciate all of your support. My Friendies are AMAZING!

Let's hope that Luke pulls off Your Song as I think if he doesn't he'll land in the bottom two with Tamera.

i think he'll be fine. He chose the song himself. Said it's a song he would actually record and put on an album. And Tamera won't be bottom two. I think Sam C will be with that song choice.

[Vanessa]

Omg! Luke met Seal! :amazed:

Luke could alienate his support base if he keeps changing his style I think as it means everything to some people.

And tbh I don't think Luke doing a One Direction song would work, Luke is a Rock singer and I can't see him rocking a One Direction song up.

The best place to finish is third:

Winning can be a curse (James Arthur was abrasively assertive and talented enough to know what he wants and get trendy producers like Naughtie Boy on board but the Joe McElderrys or Leon Jackson can't). Unfortunately winners get lumbered with a pre-chosen cover single, with cheap formulaic video of their XF " journey" and then pressurized battle for Xmas no1.

Coming second means you feature in the winner's pop video (their best bits and journey) where demot reveals the winner and the runner up looks gutted. Followed by ticker tape. This video will be broadcast for 2 months and will be the only image the public has until you bring out material eg Jls looking gutted when losing to Alexandra Burke

Third place escapes this, no pressure , no expectations, no appearing in winner's video, noone is watching what you're up to, third place is... 1D.

and i think Luke might come 4th as well although union j came 4th and they are dong well I love if he got in the final though

I'd be happy with him coming 5th to be honest. I think it's enough for him to do well. But i'll vote for him as much as i can. Fingers crossed. :hugesmile:

He definitely needs to celebritise himself, ok so he's too young to go clubbing in Mayfair, but a few public appearances at events. He needs to pique interest of showbiz editors.

Don't worry. He'll go on a massive bender on his 18th birthday ! Rock on! :devil:

As much a I loath Styles the curley headed twassock is brilliant at getting publicity. Luke needs to look at the 1D singer and learn how to be a media wh@re.

Luke, Tom Odell and Matt Richardson, her taste in guys is not what I expected.

[alex_front2]

The irony for me is Luke won't win XF but he's the only one who has XF. Tamera has got an aura but it's mainly style over substance. RC has Kasim but Sterling and Joey's voiced actually aren't that great, Joey may have the charisma but Kasim vocally carries them.

Sam B and Nicholas (like Joe McElderry and Leon Jackson) are examples why XF isn't just about the voice, neither have charisma, stage presence, musical identity suited for 2014 or stage craft. Both pleasant....and meh.

Hannah has good vocals and some charisma, unfortunately I think music especially urban music is sadly increasingly less and less about darker skinned black female singers, and more about mixed, lighter skinned and white girls. Infuriating, disgusting but what the market place dictates now.

I suspect LF will be this years "1D" losing success act ie better than winner

I just want to get him as far as he can go. he might be better off not winning. Syco would ruin him.

This is why I want Sam Bailey to win, because it means Tamera, RC, Hannah etc will have better post-show careers than if they won.

His Jukebox songs (from the main site)

Luke Friend

Bridge Over Troubled Water, Simon & Garfunkel

“My Mum has been with me through everything and this song would be a tribute to her.”

Skinny Love, Bon Iver

“I used to do this as a duet with his friend who has now moved to Australia. I miss him lots.”

One Day Like This, Elbow

“I sang this at my sister’s wedding and it means so much to me and my family.”

[Vanessa]

I think we should choose "One day like this". He covered it already and he would totally smash it! :amazed:

That if Luke and Nick were the last two then Nick would win. :bored:

[Black Dagger]

Yes, One Day Like This is a must.

Skinny Love is a bit too high at times, and Bridge is too old fashioned.

[Mystic Mock]

I like the sound of Luke singing an Elbow song, I definitely hope he gets this.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

That if Luke and Nick were the last two then Nick would win. :bored:

oh haha poor luke :hugesmile:

I think he can do all three, but "One day like this" could get him in the final. :dance:

[BigSister]

One day like this would be epic ^_^. skinny love i dont really know and bridge over troubled water could be a bit of a risk song choice wise depending what the others are picked
And so glad luke was out first takes pressure off. LOVED Louis little dance though when both went through
And go ollie ^_^

[Vanessa]

This is Luke singing "Skinny love". Bear in mind he was still a kid here. His voice has changed a bit since then. I think he could pull it off.

James Arthur is alot more assertive than Luke and even he hints he's not happy with Syco.

Oh sh**, the worst song is Bridge over TW, and I bet it gets picked over the superior but less well known songs. Huge mistake.

Not necessarily, a record contract is very very hard to get out of ( see Prince). Joss Stone had to pay £10m to get out of her contract. The record companies often don't even want an act but still keep them as they don't want another to have them.

[Vanessa]

I want to see this next week as well : :lovedup:

I don't think he'll win anyway. But he can get to the final , as long as he doesn't mess up. :love:

louis face though ^_^
I like how the 2nd choice is your musical hero so should be a good choice there for luke

[Mystic Mock]

I'm really hoping that Luke gets One Day Like This as it sends him straight to the final.

[Vanessa]

Luke wants to sing Mumford and Sons for his Heroes song. I don't know it, but i'll check it out. :hugesmile:

Is it I Will Wait? If so he'll do fantastic with it.

Oh ok, thanks for the info Vanessa, let's hope he gets them.

One of the songs will be one of his choice. He said he wants to do Mumuford and sons. The other song has been chosen by the public. Skinny Love, Bon Iver probably. :blush:

[Mystic Mock]

I still wouldn't rule out BOTW as it's a beloved song.

[Vanessa]

I still wouldn't rule out BOTW as it's a beloved song.

That would be good, because it's very well known and will get him votes. "One day like this" is brilliant, but maybe a bit too obscure. :)

[Mystic Mock]

Bridge Over Troubled Water worries me a bit as Leona and Rhydian fans wouldn't take too kindly to Luke performing it, especially if he did it well.

But if Luke is at the semis I want his two songs to be Pompeii by Bastille, and Mr Writer by Stereophonics (I've been saying this song choice since week 3) I think they'd be awesome.

It's a Simon and Garfunkel song and he's dedicating it to his mum. Could be amazing if he connects with the lyrics. :)

I'm worried about Syco getting their hands on him as well Vanessa, but tbf they have never had a Rock winner before so I think it should be tested to see if an XF Rocker can sell Music if they won.

2nd place is more than I ever thought he would get when the lives first started so I'll be happy with that.

If he gets to the final i do believe he can win. He's the only one who takes risks every week and never goes for the safe option. :lovedup:

[Mystic Mock]

I agree with you on that Vanessa, risks = fun, safe = boring unless done really well.

[Vanessa]

I agree with you on that Vanessa, risks = fun, safe = boring unless done really well.

If he gets through to next week he says he'll have to choose between an Elton John and a Beyonce' song. I think Beyonce is better. Elton John songs are too dated for a young boy like him.
