Watching the Xtra Factor programme on ITV2 last night when they were looking back at the Jedward v Lucie sing-off just brings back painful memories of what might have been.
If Simon Cowell had common sense that night and saved Lucie, things would have been totally different today. She may would have not gone on to win the show, but I always reckon she would have been a big success with many chart albums and singles.
As much as Lucie has still had some success in the West End, I sometimes wish she hadn't put more emphasis on her acting career and still dedicated some time to her music. Her album, which she's recorded for several years (as early as 2010 I recall she said about) and was meant to be released years ago (mentioned in 2012), will now probably never see the light of day.
This is exactly why I haven't, and never will, forgive Cowell for his horrendous error of judgement on that fateful night nearly five years ago now.
