Fleur East feels "pressure" because Simon Cowell lets her make her own decisions.
The 'X Factor' hopeful feels lucky that her mentor allows her to play a big part in selecting her performances each week, but as a result she knows it is her responsibility if things go wrong.
She said: "There have been a few weeks where other contestants have maybe complained about songs, but Simon always asks me.
"I feel a lot of pressure because, if it doesn't go well, it's on my shoulders, but at the same time I wouldn't leave with
any regrets.
"For instance, he thought the lift in the 'Thriller' performance was too much but I wanted to push myself so he said, 'OK,
if you're comfortable, you're the one on stage.'
"You need to earn his trust. Each time I overcome a challenge I feel like he trusts me a little bit more."
While Fleur is thankful for Simon's support, she initially wanted Cheryl Fernandez-Versini as her mentor.
She added to OK! magazine: "Initially I did want Cheryl, she was the only one backing me from the start.
"But now I've got Simon, I'm really happy and don't think I'd want anyone else.
"He's not a performer, but he knows what people want and what record labels want. That's what I need to hear. He
allows me to be myself - the singer I'd be outside the competition."

Heidi Montag plans to "age gracefully" after swearing off plastic surgery.
The former 'The Hills' star, who famously who underwent 10 procedures, including breast implants, a nose job and chin implant, in one day in 2010, says she deeply regrets changing her appearance and will never get anything altered again.
The 28-year-old beauty said: "I'm just done with all of it. I'm going to age gracefully and bow out."
Heidi admits she only went under the knife because she was very insecure.
She told 'Extra': "I disliked myself so much I literally chopped up my whole body.
"I'm surgery girl. That sucks."
When shown a series of pictures of her before her operations, she said: "Sometimes it makes me a little sad because I see not only what I look like, but who I was."
Heidi regrets her chin implant the most because she still suffers pain there.
She said: "I have TMJ [Temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders] now and my jaw hurts. I don't think people do tell you the trauma of what you're going to heal from. I was in so much pain, I actually thought I was going to die."

Charlize Theron and Sean Penn enjoyed a date night with his daughter.
The couple, who recently returned from shooting their upcoming film, 'The Last Face,' in South Africa, "were so cute" together despite being joined by Dylan Penn at the launch of Nasty Gal Melrose store in Los Angeles on Thursday (20.11.14).
A source: "They were so cute. He watched her while she shopped."
The insider also told E! News that the duo - who have been dating for almost one year - were "holding hands" for most of the evening.
Another source told PEOPLE.com: "Sean arrived hand in hand with Charlize, he followed her around the store while she mingled, posed for photos with her friend [Nasty Gal founder] Sophia Amoruso, [and] shopped the racks. He was a trooper and showed to everyone in the room how supportive he is of her. They looked so cute and in love."
Other guests at the bash included Christina Milian, Azalea Banks and Zac Efron's new girlfriend Sami Miro.
It's no surprise Dylan, whose mother is Sean's ex-wife Robin Wright, joined them at the event, as she recently gushed about how much she admires Charlize, 39.
The 23-year-old model said: "Well, she's brilliant for one thing, and she's the only woman since my mom who can shut my dad up. The only woman! That is a f**king challenge so... She's a powerhouse."

Chris Hemsworth says his tattoos are often "a pain" when he's filming.
The 'Thor' star, who was crowned the Sexiest Man Alive by PEOPLE magazine earlier this week, has a few sentimental designs inked on his body, but admits he hates having to get them covered up on set.
He said: "They're a pain to cover up when you shoot a movie. It's, like, an hour of makeup."
The Australian heartthrob, who has daughter India, two, and seven-month-old twin boys, Sasha and Tristan, with Spanish actress Elsa Pataky, says all of his tattoos have been inspired by them to date.
He told PEOPLE magazine: "I have the initials of my family here. [Points to this right forearm] And I have a Dr. Seuss character from 'Oh, The Places You'll Go' right here [Touches his left biceps]. It's a book I read to my daughter."
Asked if he plans to get any more, he said: "Maybe."
Meanwhile, the 31-year-old star claims his daughter has him wrapped around her little finger.
He said: "Oh, yeah. Both of us. We'll say, 'Okay, that's it. no more ice cream.' And she's like, 'Gelato? Ice cream?' And she pretends to lick an ice cream, and I'm like, 'Oh, she's just too cute.' Then she goes crazy because of the sugar, so it backfires."

Queen Latifah's talk show has been cancelled.
The 44-year-old actress's self-titled series, 'The Queen Latifah Show,' which launched in 2013, has been axed after two seasons.
The 'Dilemma' star confirmed her "incredible journey" is coming to an end on her Facebook page by posting a thank you letter to herself and her staff, writing: "Thank you for your strong work ethic and great effort in getting 'The Queen Latifah Show' off the ground and running.
"Your Family, Partners, Staff and Crew showed up with you every step of the way. Be very proud of that! Not everyone can say the same. We truly changed people's lives for the better. So... STAY POSITIVE, STAY STRONG, and most importantly, STAY OPEN... There is so much more God has in store!
"P.S. This letter is for me, my staff, my crew, and everyone who was by my side for this incredible journey. The most important thing in life is that you wake up every single day and take chances. No matter what the outcome...believe in yourself and continue to fly."
The show will continue filming until March.
A previous 'The Queen Latifah Show' ran from 1999 to 2001.

Kelsey Grammer is "so proud" his daughter has been named Miss Golden Globe 2015.
Greer Grammer will assist hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey on stage during the 72nd annual awards ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on January 11.
Asked how the 'Frasier' star, who has six children from different relationships, and her mother, Barrie Bucker, reacted to the news, the 22-year-old actress said her mother "couldn't believe it" and her father is "so proud."
The 'Awkward' star struggled to keep the news a secret before it was officially announced on Thursday (20.11.14), saying: "I've known for a week, I found out when I was on vacation, about a week ago, I screamed, danced, jumped up and down! I told my parents but I didn't want to, because I didn't want them telling anyone. I made them promise they wouldn't.
"My mom told me a few times that whenever she'd run into friends she'd want to tell them but remembered she couldn't."
Greer isn't nervous about the prestigious role as she was previously crowned Miss Regional California Teen in 2011.
She told E! News: "I've got [walking on stage] covered. I know how to walk. I don't think anyone has given advice because they presume I already know."
But she is nervous about the possibility of meeting 'Wild' star Reese Witherspoon.
She said: "That's the name I keep bringing up, because I've been a fan since I was like 10-years-old, 'Legally Blonde'..."

Ricki Lake's estranged husband wants a judge to invalidate their prenuptial agreement.
The talk show host, who filed for divorce from Christian Evans on October 16 after two and a half years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences, has been accused by the jewellery designer of committing fraud.
He claims she tricked him into signing the legal contract, which likely included how much spousal support he'd receive if they ever split, before they got married in April 2012, but has yet to explain the basis of the alleged fraud.
If the judge decides the agreement is invalid, Evans would be entitled to half or Ricki's earnings during their marriage, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
Ricki previously stated in court documents that they legally separated on October 9 and requested to pay Christian spousal support.
The 46-year-old star, who divorced her first husband, illustrator Rob Sussman, in 2005, with whom she has two children, Milo, 17, and Owen, 13, previously credited Christian for helping her to believe in love again.
During an interview last year, she said: "For a long time I was involved in this very difficult marriage. I had all these struggles and a relationship filled with drama, which I thought was normal and healthy. But a marriage shouldn't be drama filled. It should be loving and based on a real partnership.
"It was very tough and traumatic and my children were very young. I was married for almost 10 years and I honestly did not think that I would ever get married again. I thought, 'I don't need a man. I am an independent woman. I am strong. I was very cynical about marriage but then I met this amazing person and he changed my perspective on what a partnership should be and the value of sharing your life with someone."

Jennifer Aniston admits it wasn't easy to lose weight after filming 'Cake'.
The 45-year-old actress "just didn't work out for two-and-a-half months" and relaxed her healthy diet to prepare for her role in the upcoming film, in which she portrays a woman who survives a car crash and manages her chronic pain with illegal drugs, but was ready to get back into the gym as soon as shooting wrapped.
She said: "It's not so easy coming back, let me tell ya! We've got a ways go, but it puts you in a different state of mind not to be physical and not take care of yourself."
While the former 'Friends' star said she "loved every second" of the complex role, she was more than ready to get back to usual routine and diet afterwards.
She told E! News: "I had to go to a job the day after I wrapped for my hair company and I just sort of had to snap back into businesswoman mode... I was actually ready to let her go, honestly, and felt quite satisfied at the end."
But Jennifer's co-star costar Camille Guaty admits all of her friends thought the actress, who is engaged to Justin Theroux, was pregnant before she lost weight.
She told UsMagazine.com: "It's so funny, because a lot of people were like, 'Is she pregnant?' I'd say, 'No,' and they'd say, 'But she looks so dowdy.' I'm like, 'This is the role that she's playing!' Knowing the story, it's just a complete transformation."

Chris Pine has more respect for Broadway stars after taking singing lessons for 'Into The Woods'.
The 34-year-old actor, who stars in the upcoming movie adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award-winning musical 'Cinderella,' alongside Johnny Depp, Meryl Street, Anna Kendrick and Emily Blunt, says perfecting his vocals was an "incredible challenge" but "a lot of fun."
Asked if he had any training before the film, he said: "No. I mean, I've sung in the shower for years and thought I was my own best teacher.
"I went to a singing coach...that was another incredible challenge as well that I have a lot of fun with.
"And I have so much more respect, because I'm not really a musical theatre guy, but I have so much more respect for the art form of it. I mean, if you're doing a show on Broadway that's eight shows a week, the physical exertion I can't even fathom. So it's a wonderful, beautiful art form and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it."
The 'Star Trek' actor felt very comfortable wearing tight velvet trousers in the film.
He told E! News: "The prince pants!
"I had velvet pants, which were very fun...very comfortable actually. When you throw velvet and Lycra [together] a lot of things can happen."

Cody Simpson and Gigi Hadid have sparked rumours they're back together.
The 17-year-old singer and the 19-year-old model, who split in May after a year of dating due to their busy schedules, were reportedly "inseparable" at the Just Jared Homecoming Dance in Los Angeles last night (20.11.14).
A source said they never left each other's side, held hands, danced and chatted to friends, including Kendall Jenner, at the event before attending The Nice Guy after party together.
The eyewitness told E! News they: "looked like a giddy young couple and left together holding hands at 2am."
The pair ended their romance on good terms earlier this year in the hope that, one day, they might rekindle their romance.
Shortly after their split, Gigi told Women's Wear Daily: "We're still best friends and I'll always respect him and support his career. I love Cody to death and he loves me.
"He needed his time to focus on his music. He's the one who broke up with me."
A spokesperson for 'La Da Dee' hitmaker Cody also said at the time: "They decided that rather than let things sour that they split up in hopes that their lives might someday bring them back together.
"They remain close friends and will continue to show their support for one and other."

Jennifer Aniston thinks she has recruited Benedict Cumberbatch to star in 'Horrible Bosses 3'.
The 45-year-old actress admits she and her 'Horrible Bosses 2' co-stars Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day pounced on the British actor, 38, when they spotted him in the first class cabin on a flight recently and tried to convince him to star in the next instalment of the comedy, which has yet to be confirmed.
She said: "I just flew on an airplane with him, we all did. We think we recruited him to be in number three as the new boss. He might have said yes and I don't think he knows it. Could you imagine being on an airplane and being bombarded by the three boys and me and all of us going 'So you're going to be the new boss?' And I was like, 'He is?' Apparently he said, 'Yes, apparently I am.' He was very excited to sort of digress with us."
The blonde beauty loved reprising her role as Dr. Julia Harris, a sex addicted dentist, in the sequel and had no problem coming up with dirty things to say.
She said: "Did I have a trainer for my potty mouth? No, that's just going and exploring all those sort of fun, dark corners of your mind. It was all about how could I make Jason Bateman squirm and blush and break. If I can break Jason then I know I've succeeded. I am one of the guys. I'm more man than all three of those guys put together."
Jennifer, who is engaged to 'The Leftovers' star Justin Theroux, would love to shoot the next movie in London if it is green lit by producers.
During an upcoming interview with 'The Evening Show' on London Live, which will air next Wednesday (26.11.14), she said: "I would do anything to shoot the third film in London. Anything."
She would also love to star in a British romantic comedy.
She said: "A really good romantic comedy... of course I would. If it was good and well written and with wonderful actors to play with, of course."
'The Evening Show' airs every weekday at 6.30 - 7.30pm on London Live - Freeview 8, YouView 8, Sky 117 and Virgin 159.

Harry Styles is too embarrassed to wear a disguise.
The One Direction heartthrob admits it's difficult for him and bandmates Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik to go unrecognised when they're trying to enjoy a day off, but says "it's not worth" dressing up like someone else.
He said: "The thing with a disguise is that it's far too embarrassing if someone catches you wearing a disguise. It's not worth wearing a disguise. 'Is that you yeah? Why are you wearing a mustache?' "
The 20-year-old star admits he doesn't have much of his own facial hair to play with and has been trying to grow a mustache "for 20 years."
Asked if there is anywhere in the world they can walk down the street unnoticed, he said: "I mean we do that everywhere. I think people think we're like crabs and stay in and just come out for work, but we do [go out]."
The 'Steal My Girl' hitmaker is rumoured to be repairing his friendship with ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift, but laughed off suggestions he sent her 1,989 red roses after she released her new album, '1989,' which includes several tracks about him.
He told 'The Ellen Degeneres Show': "I know about the rumour. I don't know anything about the roses. I think it might have been someone else and I may have falsely taken [the credit]."
The former couple split in January 2013 after getting into a nasty argument while on holiday in the British Virgin Islands.
