Make it, but I don't want to be
A person that lives with regret.

Sing their faces off.

I hear what simon is saying.
You know, of course, every
Group, like we said, has a lead
Singer.
I feel like, of course, the

What I think you've got to work
Out, which is where I think we
Could help, is how we work the
Vocals, how we do the harmonies,
Who sings what part, because
It's not about democracy, it's
About sounding amazing.
And I'm glad I said what I said,
'cause it did actually kind of
Fire the other two up a little
Bit, and I've got to tell you
Something.
Apart from the groups I've put
Together, this is potentially
The best group we've ever had on
X factor.

my name is denise weeks.
I'm a subway singer in New York.
On the "r" train, I sing for
Tips.
Sometimes when I'm on the train,
There's people that don't want
To hear me sing, but, you know,
At the same time, it's making
The money.
I just have to put my pride to
The side and just do it, because
I need to be able to provide for
My children.
I lost my kids' father when they
Were very young.
It was just very devastating,
You know, at the time, so I had
No choice but to...
> you worked so hard to raise
Me and matthew, and to do what
She has to do as a single mom,
She did it.
> high fives, high fives, high
Fives.
Yay!

Children, but now that they're
Grown, I guess it's time for me
To live out my dream.
