Cassie Compton (born July 1987) is singer/songwriter and actress, famous for first appearing on the UK TV music talent show The X Factor. Compton finished fifth on the show in 2004 at just 17 years of age. Under guidance of mentor Sharon Osbourne in the under 25s group, bookmakers had her as one of the favourites to win throughout the show. She was eliminated from the competition three weeks before the final after ending up in the bottom two, however, some people say that her final performance on The X Factor singing "All By Myself" was the best of the entire series.^{[citation needed]}

After the X Factor, she made an appearance at the Smash Hits awards where she and fellow X Factor star Tabby Callaghan presented an award to Kylie Minogue. Since then Compton has been recording songs and opened an official website. Her single "Stay with Me" charted at #14 in the official download chart as well as being a success at myspace.com.
