Ahead of The X Factor 2012 live tour next month, TellyMix’s Reality TV reviewer Dean Midas Maynard caught up with Janet Devlin to see what her plans and hopes are for the next twelve months…
Dean Midas: Hope you are well Janet, what are your goals and dreams for 2012?
Janet Devlin: I am very well, thanks Dean. My goal for 2012 is to have my own album released and for it to be successful.
Dean Midas: It’s been a few months since you left the X Factor, when you look back what will be your overriding memory of your time in the show and what was the feeling like performing to over 10 million viewers a week?
Janet Devlin: My overriding memory of being on the X Factor was meeting Florence and the Machine and the other top artists. Performing to the 10 million was daunting for me, but I am grateful to the viewers who voted for me and to the new fans I have now made.
Dean Midas: The X Factor tour starts in February, how excited are you to be performing in so many big and well known arena’s around the UK?
Janet Devlin: I think it’s going to be amazing and I am so excited. I am looking forward to meeting some of my fans and hope they will turn up to see me. I am also looking forward to playing in the Odyssey Arena in Belfast and the 02 in Dublin.
Dean Midas: How flattering was it to be offered a record deal by Duncan Bannatyne’s Label RKA, literally 35 minutes after leaving the X Factor?
Janet Devlin: It was amazing to be offered a record deal so soon after finishing in the X Factor. It gave me hope for my future career.
Dean Midas: Bookies Paddy Power have offered odds of 50/1 for you to have a US number one and 8/1 that you will appear in a hair dye commercial. What do you think of that?
Janet Devlin: I think it is good to be recognised by Paddy Power but I will have to wait and see what the outcome of those odds are.
Dean Midas: If you could duet with anybody, anywhere in the world, who would it be and why?
Janet Devlin: I would like to duet with City and Colour or Devendra Banhart – both of them inspire me to make music.
Dean Midas: You have an unbelievably loyal fanbase, what would you like to say to your fans ahead of what could be a huge 2012 for you?
Janet Devlin: I hope I do not disappoint my loyal fan base and I look forward to performing for them throughout the X Factor tour and beyond. I hope they enjoy the music I go on to make.
Dean Midas: Finally Janet, I am honoured that you and your family allowed me to promote before, during and after your time on the X Factor and I wish you all the best for 2012 and beyond.
Janet Devlin : Thanks again for all your support Dean it is much appreciated by me and my family.
