She came to prominence in 2010 when she became the runner-up of the seventh series of British show "The X Factor" and was mentored by Cheryl Cole. Ferguson made it all the way to the finals where she dueted with her idol Christina Aguilera performing 'Beautiful'. Ferguson placed second behind winner Matt Cardle, and the same week was signed to Syco Music owned by Sony Music Entertainment. As Songfacts reports, her debut single, Nothing's Real But Love, was released in November 2011, a week before Ferguson's debut album, Heaven, was made available.
Ferguson is a qualified legal secretary, having studied at Hugh Baird College, Bootle. She has previously unsuccessfully auditioned for The X Factor and for P. Diddy's Starmaker in New York but in 2010 she got the chance she had been waiting for and got through to the audition process. She sang "A Change Is Gonna Come" during her initial audition. At her bootcamp audition, she sang "Like a Star" to which Cowell said "That is a recording voice!" and Nicole Scherzinger said, "I told you first time I saw her, she is our generation’s songbird." She sang "Fireflies" at the judges houses stage. For the first live show she sang "Teardrops", in the second live show she sang "Feeling Good" and in the third live show she sang "Why Don't You Do Right?". In the fifth live show, Ferguson received a standing ovation from Simon and Cheryl following her performance of "Make You Feel My Love". In the following episode, Ferguson received another standing ovation from Dannii and Cheryl after singing "Candle in the Wind".
Ferguson's second studio album, Freedom, was released in December 2013.
In 2015 Ferguson released her third studio album Lady Sings the Blues covering a number of jazz classics made famous by Billie Holiday.
She released the single "Uncrazy" on 1 December 2017, a dance song, which moves away from Ferguson's usual style of music.
On 8 May 2020, a single entitled "Nothing Left But Family", and featuring Nile Rodgers, was released.

Nothing's Real but Love
Rebecca Ferguson Lyrics
Standing in a line
Wonder why it don't move
Tryna get a hand
Watching people break the rules
And maybe the man in charge
Doesn't like my face
But then this world's not always good
And nothing's real but love
Nothing's real but love
No money, no house, no car,
Can beat love
They watch us open-mouthed
As we joke around like fools
See who can be the worst
Watch what I can do
But then the door gets slammed,
Slammed right in my face
And I guess this world's not always good
And nothing's real but love
Nothing's real but love
No house, no car, no job
Can beat love
It won't fill you up
No money, no house, no car
Is like love
La la la la la la la la
Yeaaah
I put it all away
Holding it back for a rainy day
But what if that day don't come
I need love
No money, no house, no car
Is like love
It don't fill you up
It won't build you up
It won't fill you up
It's not love!
And nothing's real but love
No money, no house, no car
Is like love
Nothing's real but love
No money, no house, no car
Is like love

The best voice that was ever on X factor

It saddens me that Rebecca's talent isn't appreciated. She bares her beautiful soul in her music, but it isn't felt by many. I guess most of society are out of touch with real music- a piano and a voice :/

The terrible thing about beauty is that so few seem to miss it when its gone.
