Mary on now. says she cried when she came home seeing all the posters/support she had in Dublin. First sang at 9 "all kinds of everything" and scared the cat 
Did a lot of talent competitions. Then fell in love and got pregnant and stopped singing.
Did a lot of talent competitions. Then fell in love and got pregnant and stopped singing.
Lost her confidence and felt rejected by her ex. She held onto that dream (being with her ex0 for too long. Says she loved him after for a long time but eventually decided to move on as he wasn't worth it. Debora daughter is quite shy but got confidence after Mary on X factor. Mary had menopause and then found new confidence. at 45 her brother encouraged her, she started karaoke, did TG4 show. Her niece entered her for x factor. Started queing at 2 am in Croke park (big Dublin stadium) for x factor. Auditioned for sony producers and whole place applauded, so she got through. Then called back for two further auditions then waited 5 weeks to hear she was through. They asked about her health and when she said she was ok they put her through. Waited from 10.30 am to 11.45 pm to audition for Simon and Louis and was too tired to be nervous.
Tesco paid her on x factor. also sang for louis and sharon O.
Thinks a lot of Louis, said he is warm and generous-says she used to fancy Simon He is a businessman and does a good job. Danni is beautiful, Cheryl is emotional-they had a bit in common "being left behind, egg on our faces" Simon has sexy eyes 
Wagner-a creature papers wrote things out of proprtion. Wagner moved into room beside Mary and went to loo at 3 am and took the wrong turn into Marys room-she asked him what he wanted.
Cher is a lovely little girl and she told her not to be naughty
Rebecca-what you see is what you get-a lady elegant
Katie was misunderstood but she did it to herself. The vulnerable side was the real katie

Her exit: was she robbed?
Theres only ever been 4 in finals and because wild card was introduced they had extra so procedure was changed.
In london picking songs for the album yesterday. Recording in the new year, x factor tour coming up too. She's singing! says she has sore throat. Did first verse of Mans World- sounding great, fair play Mary
Wearing a lovely armour grey v neck dress with jewelled neckline and silver sparkly waterfall cardi. Looks great.Told the host he is going to get her killed for singing

I'm really delighted that Mary has confirmed she has an album deal. I think it will do well for her, and not just in Eire.
If the album is a covers album and she includes some from the show. I really hope she includes 'All I Want'. It's one that people don't talk about as much, and it was the week she was in the bottom 2. But I just loved it.

I liked "All I Want" too. It was one of my favourite performances by Mary.

It was definitely one of her best. Showed up the lie that she was a "one trick pony", too.
Delighted to see Mary get her album deal : if you remember back to her first audition,she said she would love to have her own album,and now her dream has come true 
I can actually see it sell well : there is definitely a market for his type of album....people know and love the songs she sang on the show.

I think it's quite possible that Mary will do as well or better as a recording artist than some of the other acts who finished higher and also have been signed. She has a bit more "X Factor" than Rebecca it seems to me.
(Rebecca seems like a lovely person and I wish her well, but when the chips were down she failed to deliver the star quality that would have won her the competition.)
In any case, Mary achieving her dream is one of the highlights of a series that annoyed as much as it entertained. She'll be having a grand Christmas and she well deserves it.
Mary's votes were a great acheivment. So well done girl.
I thought that she looked reallly great at the final - better than when she was singing,

Some people might assume that because it will be an album of covers that it might not sell particularly well,but as Susan Boyle and Michael Buble have shown,there is a massive market out there for albums of classic songs covered by these popular singers.
It could very easily be the case that Mary outsells some of the acts that finished ahead of her.I'm sure she will be absolutely over the moon anyway when her album hits the shelves : to have your debut album released at the age of 51 must be an amazing feeling
Do you know what's funny ? During the show I wasn't a Mary fan. I mean I didn't dislike her, I just had her down as alrite.
But since the show after hearing her performances in places, she's absoloutely grown on me. I'm now SUPER FIRED UP for her debut album. I really can't wait.
I read in an article Louis has picked the songs and she's started recording ? I think "It's A Man's World" will be on it apparently. I loved that so I'm glad.
But I really really REALLY want 'All I Want' by U2 on it ! Pleease!

Really nice that you posted this. Mary didn't get much love on DS but she had a lot of people rooting for her elsewhere.
I'm looking forward to hearing her album too.

Her album is being produced by Nigel Wright and she has already started recording it.I believe Louis has personally handpicked all the songs
Mary's album our next month ?
It's been quiet on her recently. She's probably been busy recording. I'm sure we'll hear something nearer the time.

I believe so : I read something about it recently and it seems the songs have been recorded
Exciting news today on the album.
I'm so glad "All I Want Is You" is on there. Anyone else? You may have seen all my posts above saying about how much I wanted it on there
. So happy it's happened. Usually when I say stuff like that I usually jinx it and it doesn't happen, so yeh I'm happy. I can't wait to buy the album and listen to that (and the other songs too).
I wonder if she'll release a promo music video for one of the songs from the album? Or even a single. Or will it just be an album without a video?
I've also heard from Taz60 in the other thread that Mary has started to write material for her second album. I wonder if this first album does well, maybe she'll get to release the second near X Factor time?
Anyone I hope she shocks everyone and does REALLY well with this album.
