Janet Devlin claimed she didn’t want to be ‘a puppet’ on The X Factor, but is happily following in the path of former contestants.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has long been an established ritual that evictees from the reality series perform their first post-show gig at central London venue G-A-Y.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the Irish teenager obviously had no qualms about taking to the stage, despite lashing out at the programme that gave her a platform.
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"Comeback<\/p>\n

Comeback kid? Janet Devlin performs at G-A-Y after being kicked off The X Factor last week<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The redhead channelled her inner rock chick, as she performed in chunky Doc Marten boots, denim shorts and tights speckled with stars. <\/span><\/p>\n

Devlin also opted for a vintage Roxy Music T-shirt, with her trademark wavy mane hanging loosely over her shoulders.<\/span><\/p>\n

She was obviously pleased with her performance, writing on Twitter: ‘<\/span>gig went well tonight! audience were great :)roll on glasgow tomorrow :}’<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Stars in her eyes: Janet sings for fans, and manages an uncharacteristic smile<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Janet also revealed to her followers that she had been watching the remaining contestants compete in the semi-final from her hotel room.<\/span><\/p>\n

And despite Mischa B, Amelia Lily and the four girls of Little Mix still in with a chance of winning, Janet showed little support for the ladies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, Devlin wrote: ‘watching the xfactor (sic) in my hotel room brings me back to watching it last year \ud83d\ude42
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘c’mon my wee marcus :)!’<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"Doing<\/p>\n

Doing things her own way: Janet said she refused to be ‘a puppet’ on the ITV series, which ultimately caused her to be voted off<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Earlier this week, Janet told
\nLorraine Kelly that she would have excelled further in the competition
\nif she played by the rules of the producers.<\/span><\/p>\n

She said: ‘To me the sad thing about X
\nFactor, and it’s brought me down a lot, is the fact that I’ve just been
\ncovering other people’s songs.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘It got to the point where I felt like a karaoke artist every Saturday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘From the start of the show I wanted to be myself and I didn’t really care, in the sense that I just did what was me.
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I could have been a puppet and done a lot better but why would I do that?’<\/span><\/p>\n

Janet was evicted last week after forgetting the lyrics for the second time.<\/span><\/p>\n

She initially stumbled over her words to a version Jackson 5’s I Want You Back earlier in the series, before suffering temporary amnesia while singing Hanson hit MmmBop last Saturday.
