MARKS INTERVIEW

1. How does it feel to come second?
Amazing. Winning is one thing, but coming second is another. I would never have thought in a million years I would reach final. So yeah, it's absolutely wonderful.

2. Did you expect to get this far?
NO. NEVER. It was just wow each week when I survived. Like, on the semi-final, I was so sure that would be my time.

3. How do you feel about Ash winning?
I'm so proud for her. She's an incredible girl, and she truly deserved the win. She grew from strength to strength each week, and had loyal supporters.

4. What was your favourite song,you sung?
If Theres Any Justice

5. Whats next for Mark?
Nothing. This whole competition has put me off singing FOR LIFE. It's been so hard. I could never do anything like this again.

Haha thanks Mark, and well done for coming second!

Thanks. :hello:

aww Mark I think you should carry on singing

:laugh: Haha, thanks, but no thanks.

ASH'S INTERVIEW

1. Congratulations on winning, Ash!
Thanks so much! Haha, I'm still in shock and it's all still sinking in really. It just went by in a flash...!

2. How did you feel when you first found out?
Well, I'd only just got back in time to hear my name. I didn't really even have time to think! I just thought 'OMG!'...and let myself actually realise what had happened first, lol!

3. What has been your favourite song you've done
That's a really tough one! My actual favourite songs out of the lot were probably Too Lost in You and Behind These Hazel Eyes. But apart from Downtown, my favourite personal performances were So Sick and 1000 Miles!

4. What do you think of Mark coming second?
I think Mark's easily been an absolutely amazing contestant. I think either one of us could've won since we got in the final. Not only because he has a good voice, but I also feel he truly deserves everything he's got because of all the effort he's put in. Not to mention that he was nervous to begin with, but just look at him now!
I've already said to him myself that if I hadn't been in this competition, I'd have been supporting him a lot! :hugesmile:

5. Any words to your fans?
OMG my fans. I wouldn't really call them fans, haha. How weird to hear them be called that. But erm yeah anyway, to ALL the people that have supported me and stuck by me - thank you so much! I really can't say thank you enough…it may sound a bit overboard but I really wouldn’t have overcome any confidence barriers or anything without you lot!

6. Sum this whole experience up in three words
Overwhelming. Exhilerating. Fun!

7. Whats next for Ash?
What's next?! Well, I've overcome the first step which is coming to terms with singing more and that's taken long enough! I always used to want to have singing lessons but I then shyed away from them, sometimes because I felt too embarrassed and shy, and others because I felt I wasn't up to it. Now I'm going to try and convince my mum and say that I do perhaps want singing lessons. Or I might just opt for vocal training or something similar! I'm not sure yet, but I'd love to do something like that!

So, we might be hearing an Ash album soon?
An album?! LOL, apart from little-girl dreams I've never considered anything of the sort. It must be really hard to get into the business as well, what with record deals and all that. But you NEVER know! Lmao.

Thanks Ash! And well done!

ooh good interview ash as well

I've sent some U2Us out, but just in case people dont check that lol..

Me and Stacey had an idea of doing a TiBB X Factor reunion party, and wandered if the contestants/judges were intrested in doing it?
Any other members who werent involved in XF are free to join in aswell.
It would just be in a thread, having a laugh and 'partying' lol

Hoping that it will be on a Friday/Saturday
And probably not next week ebcause of DOI Final/St Patricks Day/TiBB Next Top Model final.

That sounds like a good idea! Just a 'party', lol.
We could even plan stuff/surprises for it.

Anyway, for me, it'd be better if we did it on a Saturday, so maybe not next week as you say but the week after's. :thumbs:
