i fail to see what she will gain from carrying on...
two of her songs are now in the itunes top100 by 'tribute acts'.
which must be gutting, to see your songs turned into some karaoke abomination!
though would she be allowed to release her music if she left? has she signed any cowell type contract which means he owns her regardless?
she will get a record contract no doubt.

They are practically that right now.
I love all of her songs, but she's not a typical mainstream singer like the X Factor looks for, and I fear that she'll drop into obscurity as a result of carrying on with the show .. because let's face it, she won't win.
Should've done BGT though.
she will make money from that though. the x factor made her remove her music, but they cant stop cover versions from cropping up. no doubt syco will take a cut from any profit she makes through her song writing though.:rolleyes:
I think it would be great if she got to the live finals and they didn't have categories and they could sing what they like each week.
The best artest we know have their own style and don't need to sign every other type of music. Would make a change as well.
:D:D They are, a bit. Comedians and comediennes have been writing and speak/singing spoof songs for donkey's years. However, trends always repeat and there's clearly a new generation who think she's the most original thing since Lady gaga (:D). Good for her; but this show won't do her any favours.
She'd be better off going at this stage for a number of reasons. Firstly; she's had the exposure now and a lot of people haven't seen the novelty wear off - yet. Secondly, she's coming across as a bit arrogant and entitled. Not a good look. Finally, she hasn't a snowball's chance in hell of lasting against people who can actually sing in what is, effectively, a karaoke competition.
but thats not what the x factor is about tho
it would be like a break dancer going on strictly then complaining they cant do their own routines
exactly
we have seen her sing three times now
the two times she did her own songs she got a great reception , the time she tried to do a cover she absolutely murdered it
We've all seen limited, if vocally gifted, singers flounder on genres. Most often they will arrange a song to be in a genre of their choosing - it doesn't always work. Lucy is clearly great at that. She has every chance of winning this.
You're a bit late with that prediction -

Can you get last week's lottery numbers wrong for us as well while you're at it?
I'd buy her album tomorrow.
The audience will get bored of her arranging her own acoustic guitar songs week after week.
So far they have been "conditioned" to find her amazing and original, since the producers have created this idea. And also deliberately not shown her doing any covers shes comfortable with.
Good luck to her strumming along in big band week
Last year's themes. (Whether theme allows original songs)
Week 1: Songs by UK or US artists (no)
Week 2: Love and heartbreak (yes)
Week 3: Rock (yes)
Week 4: Halloween (yes)
Week 5: Dancefloor fillers (yes)
Week 6: Songs by Lady Gaga/Queen (no)
Week 7: Songs from films (no)
Week 8: Guilty pleasures (yes)
Week 8: Musical heroes (no)
Week 9: Motown (no)
Week 9: 'Songs to get you to the final' (yes)
Week 10: No theme (yes)
Week 10: Mentor duets (probably)
Week 10: Favourite song of the series (yes)
Week 10: Christmas songs (yes)
Week 10: Winners single (yes - if they have any sense)
Almost all of the 'no' themes are very easily changed in a way to suit her. Though of the 'yes' themes I see her struggling with dancefloor fillers regardless of whether it's her own material or not..
The thought of Tulisa up there swinging her pants whilst Lucy chats away on the guitar about someone getting caught giving bj's would be TV GOLD!!!! :eek:
I look forward to her judges houses performance before I decide for definate but I would buy her stuff now so I cant see how she needs X factor...
