Biography
Bad Lashes are a four-piece girl band from North East England, made up of Emily McNamee (born 30 June 1989) from Newcastle upon Tyne, Sophie Wilson (born 21 November 1984) from Hartlepool, Samantha (Sam) Bennett (born 26 April 1987) from Durham, and Stacey Lincoln (born 24 October 1987), also from Durham, most know for their top 12 finish in the UK TV series The X Factor. In the first live show, they received mixed reviews from the judges, attracting praise from Cheryl Cole, but harsh criticism from Simon Cowell, who compared watching their performance to 'eating water.' They were the first act to be eliminated in the live shows, because of the public vote.
Bad Lashes have since released their cover version of Wonderwall in November 2009 as a single.
In 2012, Emily MacNamee went auditioned for the X-Factor as a solo act.
