Tulisa: "I know I'm controversial"

X Factor judge and songstress Tulisa loves that she gets to set the record straight on her new album - as people only see her "controversial" side in the press.

The 24-year-old star has been the subject of intense media attention of late thanks to her new high-profile romance with premiership footballer Danny Simpson.

Tulisa doesn't let the negative attention affect her though.

Speaking of her favourite track from her new album 'The Female Boss' she told the Daily Mail: "Obviously I'm sure that a lot of people have already figured out that I am quite a controversial musician and public figure and there's a lot of speculation about me and the kind of person that I am. She added: "A lot of things get written about me, a lot of things gets said and in the song Skeletons I really get to say my piece on that and kind of talk to anyone who had anything negative to say about me and say my bit."

Tulisa is officially the most Googled person in the UK, and thinks she should be flattered by such a response.

She explained: "I don't know if that's really a good thing or a bad thing, it depends on the reason they were Googling me for. But, yeah, I don't really know what to make of that, I suppose a part of me should be chuffed because I guess any form of attention is good in some respects. At least you're being talked about, rather than not."

Earlier on tonight's X Factor results show, the judge and mentor stepped onto the stage to perform a stripped back performance of her latest single 'Sight Of You'.
