Here's Rebecca's answers - not 10 as promised, I think she's a bit busy with duet preps, but she has done five. UnquietDad, I assure you your muff q was one of the ones we sent over as was the Cher slapping Q but sadly they were declined by the PR.Still big thanks to Rebecca for taking time out of her schedule to answer these - and good luck to her for Saturday, I'm rooting for her!
Q From SuePurblybiltByElves - OK, Rebecca, as a fellow Lone Parent, did you think about the impact winning or getting as far as you have will have on your children? Do you think it will benefit them? Not having a go, I'm interested in the balance between material gain and the exposure to fame or seeing less of you. Thanks and good luck.
A RebeccaFerguson - I think it will have two impacts. Hopefully if it goes well and I have a career, it will provide for their future. There have been times in the past when I've had to say to them, 'Mummy can't afford to buy you that'. But I think there will also be sacrifices. I won't be able to be with them 24/7 like before, but in the long run if I work hard, I will make a better life for them. My aim is to make sure all my family are looked after, I'm a family girl at heart.
Q From Readinginsteadnow - Why can?t the contestants in the xfactor house have a bedroom each? Its not like big brother; surely a bit of privacy would be good? Whats the logic with it? Does it bother you?
A RebeccaFerguson The house isn't actually as big as it seems. It felt quite crowded at the start when there was so many of us, but now we've got lots of space. It feels quite strange when there are so few of us there now.
Q From Italianlady - Don't you think it is time you did some dancing?
A RebeccaFerguson I know a lot of people have been saying that! I try and keep my performances as entertaining as possible, but my main priority is to have a good vocal performance. I think I have incorporated a bit more dancing recently compared to the start.
Q From Custardo - what is your fave band or singer? And which of the contestants do you get on with best? ( you can't say "ooh i love all of them")
A RebeccaFerguson I'm a really big fan of Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston, they've both got such impressive voices. I also really like Kings Of Leon, it would be amazing to be able to work with them in the future. Mary and I got on really well and I was sad to see her go. I also hang out with the OD boys alot, they are so funny!
Q from Unquiet dad - Rebecca - Do you not get a bit fed up with the Sade/Aretha type songs every week and beg Cheryl to let you do a bit of "Firestarter" or something?
A RebeccaFerguson I'm actually really pleased with the songs I've got to perform. I work very closely with Cheryl deciding what to perform. People like Aretha Franklin are my idols so I see it as a privilege to cover their songs. Saying that, I do also like doing the more fun songs like 'Show Me Love'. I'm also really excited about performing with Christina Aguilera - that will something different!!!
