I started crying once I met my brothers and then I couldn't stop. Then, I was whisked away quickly by the make-up artist, who tried to dab over the tearstains but it was no good because I kept on crying anyway. |
It wasn't up to us whether we got to perform our talent or not. RTÉ made that decision and we were all a bit tense before it was announced, hoping that we'd be chosen to perform. Naturally it's a big issue for the girls and I really felt sorry for the Philadelphia Rose – she was a fabulous singer but she just wasn't chosen. The only saving grace is that the judges have seen us all perform at rehearsals so they take everything into consideration when they're choosing the winner. Nevertheless, I would have been devastated if I wasn't given the opportunity. |
On Saturday, we were broken into groups and each group was taken to a different place, so there would be a few waiting to see the judges, a few with RTÉ rehearsing for the talent piece and different girls on different photo shoots. I went to Smart Telecom to the hot-air balloon for mine and then to the French Market. I had a lovely morning and then my interview was in the afternoon. |
That was really nice. When we were on tour it was lovely because it was just all the girls and then suddenly your escorts were everywhere. The escorts were lovely and we had great crack with them but it was nice to just have all the girls together again. |
