Hi everyone, Paul here again. Hope you’re enjoying the blog so far – it’s Friday now and the album will be in the shops on Monday – I still can’t believe it!

I’m in Bristol today – it’s a beautiful city, and I’m really enjoying myself – since winning the competition I’ve been lucky enough to visit some fantastic places and I’m trying to take as much of it in as possible. That’s why keeping this blog is so great – it means that I’ll be able to read it back in the future and remember all the amazing places I got to visit and the lovely people I’ve met along the way. A real highlight of the whole adventure so far was my trip to New York a couple of weeks ago.

It was a really short trip, we flew in one day and flew back home the next – I can tell you I was pretty tired after that – but I did have time to take in some of the sights including the Empire State Building which is something I’ll always remember and the Rockefeller centre . I remember thinking the whole time that I was the luckiest man alive, and I still think that every minute of the day. There were so many really talented people taking part in the competition that I never dreamed I would get past even the first stage. I was so nervous before I went on stage the first time, and in fact every time I performed on the show I was nervous. I’m still nervous every time I perform but as soon as I start singing I lose myself and that’s when I really feel myself.
