CeCe Frey has admitted that she never expected to win The X-Factor. CeCe was eliminated from The X-Factor on last Thursday's (December 6) results show following weeks of harsh criticism from Simon Cowell and most of the judging panel.
"I pretty much knew [I wouldn't win]," Frey told MTV News following her exit. "I mean, I had leopard print on my face, for Christ's sake! I pretty much knew that I wasn't that cookie-cutter girl that you pick to win one of these things, but I knew that I was going to use this and run with it."
CeCe went on to express hopes that her music career won't follow the typical reality show contestants and thinks she's the type of performer that has more success after the show.
"When Adam Lambert was on [American Idol], I said, 'Now that's the kind of dude that needs to win one of these shows'," she explained. "But the thing is, performers like me and Adam Lambert and Diamond White and Lyric 145, we're not the kind of artists that win these things."
She added: "We're the kind of artist that win afterwards - or I hope so, anyway - and I'm going to work my butt off to get there."
The X-Factor 's semi-finals, featuring Tate Stevens, Carly Rose Sonenclar, Emblem 3, and Fifth Harmony, airs Wednesday night at 8/7c on FOX.
Do you think CeCe will be successful in the music industry?
