--Flashback--

Ever since that first live show on X Factor, I've just gotten so much more comfortable up on that stage performing as a soloist, and now, all of a sudden, it's the finale and there are only three contestants left, and they are, myself, United Vibe and Molly Scott. I feel as though, I don't deserve to be in the final three but, because I am and noticing how many people who watch this show, see how much I want this, they don't want to see me leave the show so, that's a surprise but, once again, I feel like I've gotten so much more comfortable and, I'm performing a duet with freaking Nathan Sykes and we are singing Over and Over Again which I am so excited about! Also, in week 2, I was up against LMA Choir in the sing off which, was bloody awful but, my save my song was Creep by Radiohead and, I was thankfully saved, which, sadly meant that LMA was getting eliminated and, I immediately gave Cameron, one of the members whom I got very close to, a tight hug as I started to cry and, I straight away started to apologise that they were gone but, Cameron told me to not worry about it and that he promises that they aren't angry at me that they were eliminated and, the best thing is, the rest of the contestants are coming back for the final week which is amazing! The best thing is that we all get to perform as the Top 16 all over again which is, very, emotional but, we get to sing together again! 

--End Flashback--

"Estelle, what's it like being in the Top 3?" An interviewer asked me as I smiled at them, sitting with one leg crossed over the other with my hands crossed over and resting against my knee 

"Wow, nice thing you asked Krystel, it's the craziest thing ever in all honesty, I can't believe that I've gotten this far but, the fact that I've gotten so used to now being without Elliot that, I finally can break free from that anxiety of not having Elliot with me to reassure me that everything's going to be okay if I was to do something wrong on stage during a performance or just having that, general anxiety of performing on stage every week but, because I am alone and Elliot's still watching me, I can look up at him if I freak out and, he's always there for me and he always encourages me and screams as loud as he can from that high rise platform and, it's just amazing, anyway, back to the original question, it is honestly the best feeling in the world as, it's not like I never knew I could do it as, I felt that, with some confidence in myself, I knew I could reach the Top 3 but, I honestly just thought at the same time that, it wasn't a realistic placement and how far I could actually go in the show but, I'm here so, it's even better!" I said, wow, I took a while to explain that 

"Wow Estelle, now, going all the way back to week 2, sing off between yourself and LMA, can you remember how you felt and, what it was like being in that position of that possibility of being eliminated only two weeks in?" The interviewer asked, omg, that was just awful and I remember it so clearly as if it was just yesterday 

"Wow, umm, funny thing, I remember that night as if it just happened last night! It was the scariest thing ever! In all honesty, it was something out of my nightmares from when I was a young child almost!" I paused as Krystel, the interviewer looked at me and prompted me to finish my answer 

"Really? It was like a nightmare from your childhood? Could you possibly tell us the song you sang, what it felt like being told that LMA had been eliminated and how you felt finding out you were saved and, the reaction of Elliot's when you reunited with him back on the high-rise platform" Krystel asked as I laughed

"Yes, it honestly felt like a nightmare from when I was younger. The song I sang in the sing-off was Creep by Radiohead and, it was the biggest thing ever because, I was originally going to sing that on that Saturday but, I didn't as, my guilty pleasure changed from Creep to Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston as you all know as, that's what I ended up singing that week so, yes, singing Creep felt so scary yet so, exhilarating as I felt so powerful afterwards before anxiety just then overpowered me during the deliberation of who was staying and going and, getting told LMA were going, omg, I was in so much shock, I couldn't believe it that they had been eliminated that, I hadn't had any reaction as, I didn't think I was good enough to be given a second chance over LMA, and then, Elliot, watching his reaction the whole way through was the saddest thing ever, it was just pure heartbreak it was, throughout watching LMA performing as they sang first, El started to cry and because I could see everything that you guys can see on your TV Screens, I saw Elliot crying and, I felt so bad as, he had gotten so close to the lads in LMA and then, when it was my shot to come out and sing, I strutted down those stairs as I stood with my mic stand and I started to sing, I look over to Elliot and, he was in hysterics, he was freaking out, I was so sad but, then, when it was said that I was saved, he broke down crying and bent down on the floor and had his hands up to his face, one hand holding the railing as Jon and Jack, went down with him to make sure that, 1. he wouldn't fall and 2. to see if he was okay which, he was after I came up the stairs, he was the first one who I gave a hug to so, yeah!" I said as that was a whole mouthful and a half as Kyrstel was cooing and everything as she found it cute
