Ruth says goodbye
30 Nov 08
Hey Ruth how are you feeling?
I’m feeling absolutely great! It’s cloudy outside but I’m feeling very good, because I left the show singing my best, I received great comments from the judges, and I went out on a high.
How would you describe your X Factor journey?
A rollercoaster with a lot of fighting in it!
What was your favourite moment?
I’ve had a few favourite moments – the Hero single was definitely one of them, performing Purple Rain, and my relationship with Alex.
Do you and Alexandra still plan to see lots of each other?
Oh my goodness! Are you kidding, we are not getting rid of each other, ever! She’s lent me a suitcase for all my stuff, so I’ll see her real soon when give it back!
What will you miss the most about being in The X Factor?
I’m just going to miss all the craziness about it! I’m going to miss JLS and obviously Alexandra, she’s my best friend, but mainly just the mad rushing around in the build up to a live show. It’s so crazy, nobody would ever believe how crazy it actually is!
So what will you miss the least about the whole experience?
What I’m not going to miss at all is eating salads all the time! I’m looking forward to eating some real food and at least sitting down when I do so!
Do you feel a sense of achievement at having come so far?
Oh yes, it’s been amazing and I will only take positives from this, I can’t think of anything negative to say, that’s why I can’t be sad today.
Have you got plans to go back to Spain or will you remain in England?
I want to go to Spain for a few days to see my mum and get a cuddle! But then I’ll be back here because I believe I’m going to be in England for a long time, I think this is where my future is.
Who would you like to win the show?
I really hope JLS and Alexandra will be in the final, and Alexandra will win! And I ask everyone who has voted for me to now vote for her.
Did you get to speak to any of the judges after the show last night?
Yes all of them apart from Simon, but I am hoping to see him later in the week. Cheryl was so sweet she kept sending me kisses saying ‘I love you, I love you’, and Louis was crying too. And of course I saw Dannii who is amazing. She’s such a lovely person and has invited me to Australia to do some rock festivals and stuff – she is so cool!
What’s next then Ruth?
I don’t know what’s next! I know that I have the live tour to look forward to which I am really excited about, but the main dream is to get a record contract, I want to get to the point in my life where I can help others through my music. That would be amazing!
