Raymond Quinn
Manager – Simon Cowell
Odds – 14/1 (Outright), 5/1 (16-24 Winner)
Raymond Quinn is an 18 year old student from Liverpool and almost didn’t make it to the final 12 of the X Factor. On the second day of Bootcamp Raymond sang ‘Easy’ by The Commodores and while Simon Cowell and Sinitta agreed he was a ‘cheeky and likeable’ contestant they were not sure about his credentials and initially told him ‘no’.
However at the end of the second day, as Raymond was about to leave, Simon decided he had made a mistake in letting him go and after talking to the executive producers of the show he called Raymond back to tell him ‘Raymond, I made a mistake, I want you to come to my home visit’.
Raymond lives at home with his parents in Liverpool and he has two older brothers who own a carpet warehouse. He describes his girlfriend of one year Kirsty as his closest friend.
He is currently studying performing arts at The Merseyside Dance and Drama College and during his stay there has had some vocal training and has learnt to dance to an advanced level.
Sharp eyed viewers may remember Raymond as ‘Anthony Murray’ in defunct soap Brookside, a role which earned him a Soap Award in 2002 for ‘Best Dramatic Performance’ and the story in which he killed a girl who was bullying him won ‘Best Storyline of 2003′.
‘To win that accolade at such a young age was an amazing experience’ said Ray, ‘being in Brookside was the only job I’ve ever had and it was the best one’.
After finishing with acting, Ray was unsure of what to do with his life, so two years ago began singing lessons and found he really enjoyed it.
One of his proudest moments is winning £5000 prize money in Manchester based talent competition ‘Search for a Star’ and performing in Liverpool’s Philharmonic Hall for a Tsunami Aid concert.
On the first day of the X Factor auditions Raymond sang Dean Martin’s ‘Ain’t That A Kick In The Head’ and ‘Devil In Disguise’ by Elvis Presley. All the judges were impressed with him and Simon Cowell descrived him as ‘a young Robbie (Williams)’. Louis Walsh thought he had ‘great potential’ while Sharon Osbourne said he was a ‘natural’ and told him ‘I love you Raymond’.
Raymond decided to stick with what he knew at Bootcamp and performed ‘Devil in Disguise’. This time Simon thought he was ‘a bit stage school’ but also thought he was ‘cheeky’ and ‘has charisma’.

There it is, plenty of mountains, beaches, adventures and history, all at an affordable price. What are you waiting for your next trip to South America?
As a matter of fact, if you are reading this, you have already decided to go there or, at least ,you are thinking about it. But, where to? I will show you my three favorite locations in South America, you choose by your own.
Peru: Macchu Picchu and The Incaââ¬â¢s Road
Are you the kind of person interested in history and archeological marvels or you would rather go looking for adventure, and a little (or more) fun within it? Whatever option you chose, Peru is the right place for you to go.
Five hundred years ago, the Spaniards ransacked and destroyed most of the legacy of the Inca Civilization. They could not, however, reach the sacred city of Macchu Picchu. These almost intact ruins where found in the twentieth century, and access to the city is believed to have been reserved for the emperor (the Inca) and the nobility (Hiran Bingham, founder of the remains, held that priestesses were raised and prepared here, but this is refused by current scientists)
Macchu Picchu is also some kind of world spiritual centre, people of all credos consider it an incredible point of contact with the spirit. But reaching the Macchu Picchu without walking the Incaââ¬â¢s Road, one of the most spectacular walking roads of the world, would be a sin. The Incas had built a road system only comparable to the one that the Ancient Romans built. The best kept part of the Incaââ¬â¢s road is the one that goes from Aguas Calientes to Macchu Picchu. After paying a USD 50 rate (USD 25 for students with international card), you will be able to start three unforgettable days in which you will walk 60 miles of mountains, with incredible vegetation and landscape.
The contact with the local people is one of the most attractive sides of traveling to South America, and this is particularly noticeable on the Incaââ¬â¢s Road.. You will find several ââ¬Åpostasââ¬Â all along the way (the antique places where Incas messengers got rest), and the natives hired for carrying the heavy luggage (the ââ¬Åportadoresââ¬Â) still resemble those antique messengers: they run at an incredibly rhythm; when you arrive to the ââ¬Åpostaââ¬Â they will have already set up your tent. However, not only rest is to be expected at the end of the day: depending on which ââ¬Åpostaââ¬Â you choose to stop, you can be received but one of the parties enjoyed by the innumerable youngsters that visit Macchu Picchu from all around the world.
The Incaââ¬â¢s Road is usually preceded by a visit to Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire, and one of the greatest urban monuments from Colonial times in Latin America.
Yet, if I were you, I would start from the Argentine city of Salta, visit Bolivia, the Titicaca Lake, and just then go to Cusco. It is a bit longer, yes, but you will never forget it.
Brazil, always Brazil
What else can be said of Brazil that you have not heard about? Brazil is not a place to be visited once, it is a place to fall in love with. Brazil is also one of the largest countries of the globe, so my first advice is to get a travel guide book, and also one of those promotional plane tickets including 5 destinations for a reduced price.
Brazilians are worldwide known for their eternal smile and happiness; they tend to have less prejudices regarding human relations. That may be the reason why you will find a party almost wherever you find a Brazilian. Although Rio is ââ¬Åtheââ¬Â place for nightclubs, discos, and related events, the entire coast of Brazil is a permanent party.
If you are planning a trip for two, let me recommend you Trindage, an almost unnoticed place between Rio and Sao Paulo. The road ends at Parati, a beautiful beach town known for its Colonial architecture. After Parati, you will have to walk 8 kms. (around 3 miles). Renting a car is an option too, but I prefer hitchhiking. Every night there are reggae parties on the beach, and the sky is so clean that you will see several falling stars. You can a take a bath in of the rivers of the zone, but please remember not using soap in order to keep the environment unpolluted.
For those who enjoy adventures, the Amazon is a huge challenge. If you want to visit the jungle but without taking big risks, it is always nice to visit the mythic city of Manaos, with its Opera and its glorious past. Manaos is today a tax-free zone, so you may also find very cheap electronic devices.
Buenos Aires: the most pretentious city in South America
I was not surprised when I read that a London magazine has chosen Buenos Aires as the ââ¬Ësexiest city in the worldââ¬â¢. With most of its population of European origins, and the frenzy proper of a big city, Buenos Aires has an incredible night life. Fancy nightclubs and pubs (accessible to the tourist, because of the low local currency, the Argentine Peso) are concurred by both young and mature people.
I would recommend going to one of the exclusive restaurants located in Puerto Madero, eat some Argentine meat, and then start the night at the Recoleta, the fanciest zone in Buenos Aires. You will ask yourself whether you are in Milan or Paris (do not dear to remind an Argentine they are from South America, they will get mad at you!).
Culturally, Buenos Aires is the most active city in South America. Writers, film directors, philosophers and artists of all kind are usually in the city giving performances or conferences.
If you like Theater, Corrientes Av. is some sort of local Broadway, all along which you will find uncountable spectacles. Of course, you cannot leave Buenos Aires without visiting the Colon Theatre, the most refined of its kind in South America.
During the day, you can visit San Telmo square, place of bohemians and artists, home of Tango, the Argentine typical dance. You can always go to a ââ¬Åtangueriaââ¬Â (tango bar) and get some lessons or just enjoy the sensual movements of the dancers.
For the weekend, going to a soccer match is a must. If you want to go to the biggest stadium in Argentina, go to the River Plate Stadium. However, if you prefer something slightly smaller but much more intense, go to the antagonist Boca Juniors Stadium, where 60,000 souls tight in a reduced space make literally vibrate the concrete. Soccer is not just a sport for the Argentines, it is a passion. Although Argentine beaches are not famous, you can enjoy several near Buenos Aires.
The most crowded is Mar del Plata, but the most beautiful is perhaps Necochea. If you are thinking on going a little more to the south, you can visit Las Grutas, the most southern beach where you can take a bath (below that, it is freezing cold). As a matter of fact, this would be an excellent excuse for visiting the entire Patagonia, with the lakes, the mountains and the Pampa, but this is subject for another article on traveling to South America…

This series of articles has been written specifically for the work at home moms. The focus of this article is on time management.
You have often heard that time is money; this is so true in the home-based business industry. In fact, it is so important that if you do not master the time management skills required to stay focused and on course each day you run the risk of failing to meet your goals and could end up in business failure.
Think about it for a moment. If you are new or a just researching the inner workings of the home-based industry you may not have an appreciation for the time commitment needed to ensure that you are successful. Let us look at a few things that will happen when you start working from home.
Remember those friends that would just show up at your door to go out for a few hours for shopping and a cup of coffee. Can you still do this, or better, should you be doing this?
Remember how you could volunteer at the school when they needed help getting an event together. Now if the time is not convenient to your work schedule, can you still do this, or better, should you be volunteering?
Remember how you could sleep in if you felt like it. Now you need to answer email, read productivity reports, check on what is going on in your industry, building business leads that can translate into sales.
Can you and should you still be doing the same things you did when you had a lot of time on your hands. The answer is no, you will need to change your routine. You should set a new schedule. This commitment does not mean that you cannot volunteer at school, take your daughter to dance lessons or your son to soccer practice. This is the reason why you wanted to stay at home and to start a business, so that you can raise your children while earning some money. You just have to be smarter now.
Here are some ideas for how to organize the new schedule.
Set a start time each day. Start times can vary depending on your other commitments.
Set a number of hours you want to work each week.
Make sure that you finish off marketing activities early each week, that way you ensure that you will have business in the weeks to follow.
Stick to the plan, but do not fret if you fall out of whack. This will happen and you can recover, but you need to focus on being consistent over time.
Let your friends know that you are still around by spending time with them, but let them know that you are in business.
Lastly, have fun.
This article has been written to give you an idea of things you should be thinking of, but you will need to consult other resources to get the full picture. Try buying a book and speaking to someone else in the home-based business.
I hope that you have enjoyed this article and I hope that it was helpful to you, best of luck in starting your business and if you are already in business for yourself, I hope that you will continue to enjoy success.
