Questionnaire - Owen Powell

You're well-known for being part of the band Catatonia - what was the best thing about being in the band?
The recording period of International Velvet was a very happy time.

Did you always want to be part of a band?
Yes. Ever since seeing the band Thin Lizzy live when I was twelve years old.

Would you have ever taken part in anything similar to Wawffactor if you'd have had the chance when you were young?
No chance at all! I was way too sensitive.

Do you think it's a good way of making it in the pop world?
Yes. But success or a career in pop can be short lived unfortunately.

What have you done to embarrass yourself recently?
Thrown a massive "strop" in the recording studio. Acted like a child. I'm still embarassed!

What makes you laugh?
My son. I guess the world is a strange place for someone that's four years old.

What's your idea of a nightmare?
Having to hear "Karaoke Queen" by Catatonia again.

What kind of things will you be looking out for them in Wawffactor 2005?
Someone that has the voice, image, character, dedication and most of all "star quality" which is needed to win the series.
