    A month's work in McDonalds/Spar/fish gutting factory etc will bring home €1500+ which is probably enough to pay this mortgage, presuming her family will pay for all her outgoings.

    I'd say Barry Egan has a hard on thinking about the front page of Life magazine being sorted for the next 5 years, if she makes it.

    Suppose if you can't win the competition by singing, you gotta try alternative means.

    She went to Manchester to audition. She obviously stayed in a hotel over there for a short period and is now probably staying there during the boot camp stage. How can they afford to do that if they can't afford to pay their mortgage?

    Anyway, I like the girl. She's a really good singer and she's hot!

    The XF supplies accommodation for bootcamp stage. There's usually some stories about ungrateful contestants staying up all night drinking, being a nuisance blah blah blah

    If she makes to the live shows at least she'll be sorted for a while with money from nightclub gig's/pa's and maybe the tour. I just hope her story is true and she's not using it for the sympathy vote.

    Not that easy to get a full time job in McDonalds/Spar/fish gutting factory etc.

    Not that easy to clear €1500+ either.

    Pfff €1,500 - you know what I do with €1,500? I put it into a medium term deposit account earning modest annual dividends.

    Wish her well ..... Too young to have the "family's finances" resting on her shoulders. Strikes me as a sweet girl .... But to be fair she is quite deadpan on stage & doesn't have a unique "look" - looks quite like Katy perry IMO!
