My mum and dad split up, I was confused. I was drinking on the streets, getting arrested by the police and it progressed from there. When I was 15 I went into a behavioural school and that\u2019s when I looked at all the people there and thought \u2018I\u2019m nothing like this\u2019, I stood out like a sore thumb. I just want to get on stage today and prove to everyone I\u2019m a good lad, I\u2019m not a bad lad anymore.\u201d<br \/>\nOn stage and Bradley told the panel: \u201cIt\u2019s all in my past and I\u2019ve come here today to prove to the teachers who think I\u2019m a bad lad that I\u2019ve got something good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* small video 468x15, created 10\/1\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"5758087862\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 15;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Judges Comments<\/h2>\n<p>Following his performance this is what the judges had to say:<br \/>\nTulisa: \u201cI love that song, and now I love it even more,\u201d<br \/>\nKelly Roland: \u201cI look at you Bradley and I see so much passion.
