Sam Bailey
Breaking the mould
When X Factor came along it offered the ultimate
rags-to-riches opportunity for the general public to
enjoy and maybe even chase themselves. But the
competition, which has run for 10 series now, needed
something more than the usual twenty-something
wannabe. Step forward mum of two (soon to be three)
Sam Bailey. She’s over 25, she’s sung professionally
before and she is career focused, not fame hungry. Her
career looks set to take a different path to past winners,
aiming at a more mature, sustainable and this summer
she continues in that vein by taking to the stage at
the Cornbury Festival. We went along to meet Sam
and talk about her X Factor experience and what the
immediate future holds.
