go around with to council estates and decks come out and mike wow the kids come out they record for free and they get to write their own songs so it's quite a fulfilling job who's next please hello hi welcome to the x factor thank you i think growing up i found it hard to fit in sometimes when i was about 17 18 i thought right that's it and i rebelled really badly i just you know i definitely went off the rails music was the only way that i could feel better it is my life it
has saved my life i am so nervous is that mine that's like yours is mine mate i have a younger sister called natalie the song that i'm singing today in front of the judges is actually a song i've written for her i hope you like it i hope i like it i they like it i mean she witnessed me going off the rails and that obviously affected her and if she did do the things i did or the rebellious stage that i went through it would break my heart so i just want to let her
know that i'm there for her i love you so much if i get four yeses from the judges today would definitely inspire her to achieve you know what she wants to achieve in her life and also make my family proud of the fact i changed my life around and i went for my dreams what's the one song that would give you a number one i think for me it's the song that i wrote not saying that i can write a number one i'm not trying to toot my own horn like that i'm just saying this
particular song that i'd wanted to sing today i wrote for my little sister who's 16 and uh she's gonna either kill me or she's gonna love it okay [Music] she's only such a confusing time but it's all right not yet an adult no longer a child [Music] insecure you cry but it's all right pretty little sister i wanna say i love you and on your journey through life i'll always be there by your side it's true yeah i'll see you through yeah hey hey so little sister i dedicate this song to you you're the first
wish i made that ever did come true you made me smile every day now i'm never blue you saved my life girl you don't even have a clue i know that i've left home sometimes you feel alone i'm just a cool away 11 digits on the phone i love you to the bone i wanna make it known you will always be my baby even when you're fully grown [Music] pretty i love you i love you and you love your sister don't you [Music] monica um you are why we make shows like this to find people
