Did you know? Emeli Sande used to study medicine!

This is great - some popstars actually aren't just airheads with shiny hair and perfectly arched eyebrows, selling perfumes and being faces of make-up lines instead of doing actual music!

Emeli Sande used to study medicide in Glasgow, but stopped at her 4th year to focus on her music career. She revealed that her dad was very strict to her and her sister Lucy, and wanted the best for them - so getting to such a good university course, Emeli must've made her parents proud.

I personally admire Emeli. She's actually smart doing such a challenging subject. She also has an amazing voice, song writing skills (she wrote for everyone from Susan Boyle and Alexandra Burke, to Alicia Keys, Tinie Tempah and Chipmunk), and a passion for music. She deserves all the success she gets. 

Unlike, for example, Rita Ora on last weeks X-Factor, she doesn't have the need to show off around the stage half naked - you can be in the music business just for, well, music!
