I’m so bad at these. Help me, [FF; I’m bad at these questions?] Woo! There you go! Love it.
That’s a very good answer! So where would you like to see yourself in 12 months?
I would like to be on tour with Coldplay with an album produced by Massive Attack.
When writing songs where do you take inspiration from?
Well in the past they have been stories about stuff that’s been going on in my life. It’s always something I feel at that moment; which is maybe why a lot of my songs are quite dark, because that’s what was happening with me. But the more life gets upbeat, the more the music get’s upbeat.
Well at least we know you’re singing from the heart.
There was a moment when I realised that all my songs were quite dark, but then again, I had to let it all out because I just can’t block it; when there is something wanting to come out there is no way around it!
Fair enough; so despite being a solo lady, if you have the chance to join any band in the history of music, which would it be?
Wow, there are so many. I think I’d have to be a token Rolling Stone. Also I think I’d have to be a chick in Girls Aloud too, I reckon I’d struggle with their dance routine and the fact that they have the most unbelievable bodies too; maybe I can just sing along and hang out and have a beer?
No more cheese from Alex James’ farm for you if you join Girls Aloud! Although I’d sacrifice Girls Aloud for Alex! But apart from Alex, who is the greatest musician of all time?
It would have to be Bob Dylan or Jeff Buckley.
Good choice. Now tell me, what did you always want as a child but never got?
One of those little plastic stoves with a fake toaster and a frying pan and a fried egg… I always wanted one and never got one; I was thinking about food from my nursery years!
Oh I loved them, I never had one either!
I also wanted one of those little bubble cars that you got in and pushed along with your feet; all my mates had one and I never got one!
Get to Toys ‘R’ Us now and get yourself one! Although I was always worried I’d get momentum going and my feet would get stuck underneath and start dragging between the pavement and the car and I’d scrape all my skin off.
Oh dear! Well when I used to go to Toys ‘R’ Us my dad would say everything was so expensive and I’d end up leaving with like a clown hat and a whistle!
I can level with your there Bo, sounds just like my mum! Let’s leave the childhood memories behind then and can you describe to me your dream house?
My dream house would be in the middle of the desert. I’ve always wanted a house in the desert. It would have loads of air conditioning and a huge oasis style pool. That’s what I want.
That would be amazing! So finally; if you were at a friends house having dinner and you found a dead cockroach in your salad, what would you do?
[In a coy voice] Eat it, come on, we know that! If it was covered in Caesar dressing I could bring myself to eat it!
Oh no, we’re not on I’m A Celebrity… now! Okay, so we also ask everyone we interview to come up with a question for the next person, and Toby Sebastian wants to know, do you like to paint?
I love painting actually. My mum’s an artist, I’m not very good but I still do it!
Paint FemaleFirst a picture for our wall! We’d love it. So can you think of a question for The Script please?
Ask them if they will marry me!
Okay dokie, I had better get an invite though! Good luck with the rest of the competition anyway!
Thank you! Bye!
Bye!
So with Bo Bruce finishing our run of Orange Unsigned Act with Sony Ericsson interviews, I am left completely baffled by who I want to win: The cheeky Scottish Hip Parade, who have to be my favourite musicians, the immense Tommy Reilly whose songs leave me with goosebumps, schoolboy Toby Sebastian, who would perhaps benefit from this the most, or Bo Bruce, the only girl remaining, and possibly the only other person on the planet who loves Alex James as much as me.
Whatever happens, Bo Bruce has won me over 100% and even if she end’s up only playing in a local pub, I pray to God that it’s my local.
