Hi Lillie, I would first like to say that it is an honor to
be able to interview you! So come on.
1 - How did you know you wanted to sing and take it as a
profession?
As a small child at
the age of 12, I started singing. At 6 years old, I knew I wanted to become a
professional singer. I was inspired by The Motown sound. My #1 artist was
Michael Jackson.
2 - The X Factor was essential for opportunities?
The X Factor helped
in many ways. I could never have paid for such worldwide promotion.
3 - I have seen two video clips on your channel, and I think
all your fans (including me haha) want to know if you still want to release
some material yet in 2018?
I don't use the
YouTube channel much but I guess I should. I have an album out released in
2017, my X Factor fans inspired Called “Red Apples” this album and a few of
their favorite songs from my performance are on this cd. When you buy it, part
of your money goes to St Jude hospital for children in the cancer research
center. Yes! I'm working on a
new CD now for 2018. Here's the surprise, there are a few Latin songs on this
CD for my Fans in Brazil, because Brazil was one of my biggest followers and
supporters on The X Factor.
4 - Were the artists and essential people who in some way
encouraged you to enroll for The X Factor, or even pursue a career as a singer?
My Mother was and is still my biggest influence in my
singing life. As she was a singer in church herself and has always been
supportive. My Older Sister Dr. Rebekha McCloud. Was the one who pushed me to
try my career again by going on The X Factor?
As I had walked away from my career for many reasons. My kids was the
biggest reason of all. I wanted to see them grow up. In addition, to stay in
this career was just too stressful. The music industry can sometimes be very
very confusing and unfair in many ways. However, I am back, stronger, smarter,
and ready to take it on.
5 - Do you feel like coming to Brazil?
I wait every day for the opportunity to come to Brazil! I
even have my visa for Brazil. I was scheduled for a concert there last year
with Mr. Jimmy Bohorne but the concert was cancelled for some reason but I pray
that I’ll be invited there soon. I'm ready!! Please tell everyone in the
industry to invite Lillie Nicole McCloud in concert so I can Rock Brazil! My
wish is to also be a guest singer or a judge on X Factor Brazil.
6 - As everyone knows, the phase of the 4 Chair Challenge is
the most brutal of The X Factor, how did you feel when other participants came
and introduce yourself and you were already sitting in one of them?
No, I was not worried about someone kicking me out of the 4-chair
challange because I was the last one hahaha. However, I was nervous if I would
be chosen to sit in that Chair! In addition, when I did o make it in the chair
I was like, WOW, I'm in!
7 - Which is the song that you most are you currently
addicted?
"Super bad." Song from my Red Apples cd. You can
see it... It's the Super bad Dance mix official Video on youtube.
Starts slow but then!
It's a party, And "Alabaster
Box "
This song brought to
me so many emails from fans who have changed their lives around for the good
and seeking to be closer to God. WOW! I love it. For Me God is First.
8 - Did you expect to get so far in The X Factor?
I had hoped to win but there was a lot of controversy behind
the scenes that people don't know! I found out some things rather quickly and
together with my fiance we decided that if I were to win on National Television
we would not accept the winning prize that we would reject it right on National
Television. The important thing was to get this great promo. I would tell anyone who would enter into such
a contest yes go to win but most important is to take advantage of the
promotion.
9 - What do you have to say to all who support you?
I love each
supporter. It's because of my fans that I have the courage to continue my
career. My fans all over the world and Brazil has touched my heart to let me
know that I can do anything. MY fans are my friends my backbone. Again, this is
why I'm doing a few Latin songs on my CD because of the support that I get from
Brazil.
Ps. Of course my Latin Songs will be in English and even if
I try to sing, Latin I'm not so sure you would understand it but let's see what
happens in the studio.
Lol.
Always and forever
your Lillie Nicole McCloud.
