This year’s X Factor UK Well everyone will applaud mother of 2 children Melanie Masson / X Factor 2012 UK News Video

Mother of 2 children 44 year old part time fairy Melanie Masson rocks out to X Factor Judges wit Janis Joplin’s Cry Baby but who she is actualy?

X Factor audition star Melanie Masson said having to leave her two children at home if she goes further in the show will be her “own personal bootcamp challenge”.

The mother of two wowed the judges on Saturday with her soulful rendition of Janis Joplin’s Cry Baby while her children watched from backstage.

She has been singing since she was a teenager growing up in Glasgow and supported Wet Wet Wet when she was 21 before signing up to a record company and releasing a single that flopped.

Melanie, who now lives in London, said: “I kind of thought I’d given up on my dreams of being able to get that record deal at my age and I thought it’s probably not going to happen and I was really concentrating on my family and I’ve still been writing and doing the odd gig here and there but the truth is that up until the weekend I’ve been a stay-at-home mum.”

The singer said she was facing up to the fact she might have to spend her first night away from her children, daughter Rua, five, and son Ramsay, three, since they were born if she progresses in the competition.

She said: “That will be torturous because I’ve never been away from them before ever, I’ve never spent any time apart from them.

“They will be fine, but that will be a massive challenge in itself, that’s my own personal bootcamp challenge being apart from them.”

The 44-year-old, who is married to Scottish actor Forbes Masson, said: “I have enjoyed my time so much just doing this so no matter if it all ends at bootcamp I will not regret a single moment because it has been such a wonderful experience and an unexpected experience because I thought it was all over for me musically and it’s really rekindled my dream”.

X Factor 2012: Melanie Masson wants Gary Barlow as a mentor!

X Factor singing sensation Melanie Masson has said she wants Gary Barlow as her mentor on the show.

Melanie wowed the judges at auditions in Glasgow with her performance of Cry Baby by Janis Joplin.

Louis Walsh told Melanie on last night’s show: “Melanie where did that voice come from and where has it been? You’re 44, this is what this show is all about, finding somebody as amazing as you and giving them a chance.”

Tulisa added: “You came on stage and you seemed really gentle and then all of the sudden this fire and this soul and this diva came out of you. You owned that stage you absolutely rocked it – that is how you do an audition. Amazing.”

However despite the praise, Melanie claimed that she wanted Gary Barlow as her mentor if she made it past bootcamp.

She said: “I am a big Take That fan. I’ve had a crush on all of Take That at different stages of their careers.”
