Assignment 2 - Interview

Interview with Vanquish:

Hi girls, Welcome to the show, we are delighted to have you here and are eager to ask you questions on your outstanding X-factor accomplishment and your bright future ahead of you all.

Response: Hello, thank you for having us we are very excited to share wth you all.

Question: Okay so, how did you know that music was the industry that you all wanted to be a part of?

Response: Poppy: Well I remember sitting down on the floor of the lounge with my family sitting in front of the television every Saturday watching my idol Leona Lewis and just saying to my family " Mum and Dad that going to be me up their one day" and here I am today.

Katie: I have always sang since a very young age and have always been told from close friends in family that I can sing and I took recordings after recordings and just fell in love with the whole musical feeling.

Lily: Well to be honest I had never really had the confidence to go up on stage by myself and had always wished to be in a girl group which is why I am very fortunate today. I was always part of a big choir with all girls which is where I can sing more comfortably and confidently in a crowd. But yes I could mot be any happier and luckier to have these amazing girls by my side.

Kate: Myself and my sister used to have a small youtube channel where we would sing medleys of our favourite songs together and upload them. It became quite successful receiving lots of heartwarming and boosting comments which made me captivate the confidence to audition.

Question: And do you ever wish that you could have carried out a solo career instead of as a group?

Response: Poppy: Honestly at first I wasn't too keen on the whole girl group concept and felt a little down when they told me I wasn't strong enough for solo but meeting these girls made me really excited to start a future singing by their sides.

Katie: I honestly was over the moon to be joining a girl group because solo or not I would still living my dream and I couldn't wait to meet them.

Lily: I was over the moon because like I said I would have more confidence with these girls and i prefer more of a group effort than an individual effort, also on tour if we stay in hotels its like a weekly sleepover.

Kate: I liked the idea of just two girls singing and was a little bit disappointed hearing that there were to be four of us being scared that there would be a divide but it is not that way at all and I thought completely wrong.

Questions: So your genre of music is country.... why country?

Response: Well we chose the genre country because it is the style of music that all of us girls love listening to and its a theme we have all listened to since we were yay big. And coincidently we all auditioned singing a country song so getting together and choosing the genre it just became pretty clear that country was the one that we would go for. The reasons why we love this genre is because it allows you to pick any pace of song that you please and you can really add lyrics from the heart and make it a slow song with a twist which hits your emotions harder than a rock song would for example.

Questions: Who has always been you music inspirations?

Response: Poppy: Like I mentioned previously I have always been so inspired by leona lewis and she is just the person I have always aspired to be like. Overtime I step on stage my mind goes to her and she is really the only reason behind me wanting to sing in he fist place.

Katie: My music inspiration is probably Carrie Underwood since she is a female country music idol and she has had an amazing country music career whose songs are popular worldwide and she accomplished all that she has by herself without any aid.

Lily: My idol would have to be taylor swift since she is a woman who is probably looked up to by so many teenagers and even woman who are of middle age audits jus mazing to see how much she has impacted the lives of others so yes my goal is to be looked up to as my as her.

Kate: My answer is going to have to be the same as lily since I agree with everything she has just mentioned and to me I could listen to her songs endlessly and they never age. The way that she writes songs is also just so flawless.
