Any advice from mum and dad?

Its the same as they always said - get plenty of rest and make sure you do you best They always trust my Judgement.

what was in your school report?

My best subjects were art and drama All the other reports would say "He is very lazy"

I dont see those as something important to me - in other words I don t have any, ha I left school when I was 15 I think the real qualifcation in this life are those you get through experience.

» Pop Idol by Jean Walker

By Jean Walker | Published 11/4/2004 | Gamelea Students Yr 1 | Unrated

As Pete waterman put it welcome to the auditions from hell lts been a marthon and at the end of all this I dont think ive ever felt that ive needed a holiday so much in my life it has been an emotional rollercoaster all the way but 90p per cent of it has been fantastic lts gone beyond our wildest dream s and in some ways been a life changing experience mainly for the good. i would suggest to anyone who wants a career in the music industry to read this book and watch this show back I think if you can see it from my point of view and the artists its the most accurate assesment of how the music industry really is the instant high and sometimes, the massive low that comes after performance. lts all here the competitveness, the camaradie, the bickering the full scale arguments the jealousy eurything has been thrown into ths prograramme and at points it felt like a real life soap rather than a talent competition. I feel incredebly proud of what pop ldol has done when I looked at the final five for the first time in the cold light of day l thought "bingo" we had absolutey the right result.

There's Darius a Lazarus who came back from the dead He was the laughing stock of,the nation and now he's in the top five of the biggest talent search ever. Hayley's there simply becacuse she has an amazing voice Then there's Zoe the most confident 16year old iv'e ever met in my life who remained smilng throughout. Will is a middle class boy who had very bad early auditions.
