An X Factor insider said: "There is a massive buzz about her. All the fan forums are calling her the new Avril Lavigne.
"She is so keen to make it she has given up her place at drama school and her job with the band."
The insider said Lucie was told to try for X Factor by the owner of a bar in Spain last year after her stunning karaoke turn.
Lucie, from a small village near Cardiff, impressed the judges on Saturday's ITV1 show with I Will Always Love You. |
