Fleur East: 'Performing Uptown Funk Was A Massive Risk'

"I'm sorry that my one got the hype before the original," the soulful singer explains...

X Factor finalist Fleur East stopped by the MTV studios today (December 10) to talk about 'that' performance of Uptown Funk last weekend.

The singer caused a whole load of controversy when she performed the unreleased Mark Ronson track, with her version quickly topping the iTunes chart on Mondayand somewhat forcing her to apologise.

On being nervous about the last minute song choice, Fleur told us: "I panicked initially because I thought this is the semi final, this is crunch time and I need to be so prepared."

"To get given a song the day before I thought was a massive risk, but at the same time I thought I needed something to wake me up and push me and thankfully it worked out."

She added: "I didn't expect it to have that reaction and to have that response."
