" Ellie Goulding has revealed that she has been supported by other popstars including Courtney Love, Florence Welch and La Roux&amp;#039;s Elly Jackson. The &amp;#039;Starry Eyed&amp;#039; singer, who topped the BBC Sound of 2010 poll and won the Brits Critics&amp;#039; Choice prize, admitted that she was offered advice about dealing with fame. &amp;quot;Times like this can be difficult. There&amp;#039;s been massive pressure. There&amp;#039;s a definite dark side to all of this,&amp;quot; she told The Sun. &amp;quot;Courtney has been really motherly, I was shocked. She&amp;#039;s been saying how well deserved my Critics&amp;#039; Choice Award at the Brits was.  &amp;quot;Elly Jackson from La Roux has been telling me to be careful, that she wasn&amp;#039;t prepared for how hard the industry can be.  &amp;quot;I talk to Florence and Daisy Dares You, too. It&amp;#039;s good to have people who understand.  &amp;quot;Lady GaGa was also so nice, saying she knew what it&amp;#039;s like for me, that she&amp;#039;d been there. It&amp;#039;s been hard for me. It&amp;#039;s not like I&amp;#039;m a brain surgeon or anything.&amp;quot; According to midweek sales, Goulding&amp;#039;s debut album Lights is on course to top the chart on Sunday. &amp;amp;gt; Click here to read our recent Ellie Goulding interview "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
