Because of where I live, I do spend a lot of time in my room on my own, reading, writing and singing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason why I haven\u2019t been out singing is my lack of confidence and it\u2019s a lot easier to sing in the house than out in front of an audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been writing songs and poetry since I was about seven years old. It\u2019s an easy escape to get thoughts out of your head so they stop bugging you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cThis competition is such a huge contrast to anything I\u2019ve ever done. I can\u2019t even put into words how nervous I am.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After her performance, <strong>Kelly Roland<\/strong> raved: \u201cOh my goodness, I am completely entranced by your voice. It is so beautiful. You could have heard a pin drop in here, it was so silent. Because you came in here so nervous, it makes me love you even more. It was a wonderful audition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tulisa <\/strong>then said: \u201cI love the fact that you\u2019re so shy, it\u2019s so endearing. That is a recording vocal. I was absolutely mesmerized by you today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Louis Walsh<\/strong> commented: \u201cI don\u2019t think you have any idea how good you are. That\u2019s what I like most about you. You\u2019re only 16 and you\u2019ve got this very distinctive voice. And you\u2019re from Ireland!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And <strong>Gary Barlow <\/strong>added: \u201cWhen we\u2019re looking for these artists, we\u2019re trying to find someone who will eventually sell records, sell albums around the world. Not just in the UK but everywhere. You are one of those people. That was such a fantastic audition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With four yeses, Janet sailed through to bootcamp!<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* largexfactor 336x280, created 11\/25\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"7071761240\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 336;\ngoogle_ad_height = 280;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 16-year-old Janet Devlin impressed the judging panel in tonight\u2019s first episode of the X Factor auditions.
