I thought she was a very likeable little girl; looked beautiful apart from the ghastly shoes which the camera kept picking up on (they made her feet look huge!)
But her performance did little for me though clearly she has potential of having a great voice, if she gets some GOOD vocal training. I agree with what has already been said (somewhere above) if she doesn't get proper training she is likely to ruin her vocal cords for ever by trying to sing at a pitch that is not presently natural for her ability.
CAnt remember her name, but what an amazing voice tht little 11 yr old had ......a superstar of the future
Her singing was awful. OK for karaoke but that's all. She was straining her vocal cords beyond believe and singing from the throat and nose - a really bad technique.
She reminded me of Jessica Sanchez from last years American Idol. She had been on AGT a few years before and had done ok, but when she auditioned for AI when she was 16 her voice was so much better and she went on to be runner up. I think Arisxandra should wait a few years and her voice will be even better. Although she was fantastic I think song choice for the semi-finals will be crucial.

Yes, she was like a younger Jessica Sanchez. I agree they should be more careful about song choice next time round.
Yeah but it wouldn't have made a difference, that was a strong year what with Stavros Flatley, Susan 'overrated' Boyle and Diversity she never stood a chance anyway.
Just hope she comes back again sometime in the future.
Ronan Parke was made to sing an unsuitable song (IMO) in the final (?) when he did Make You Feel My Love. It just didnt feel right. Anyway he had no soul, sadness or emotion when he sang it. Even though Adele didnt write it, when she sings it, it makes me want to cry, you feel she lived through that song
It seems the lovely people at the daily mail agree with some of you...I'm going to guess that the article goes ott with it although I'll admit it wasn't a great choice!!
No matter how good her voice is I am not a fan of child stars. let them have their childhood and if they have the talent it will still be there when they are older and better able to cope with the pressures of the harsh entertainment industry
I don't like children singing like adults either - I saw two very ambitious parents there in the wings. Too OTT at the end of the song...once a singer begins contorting their face and showing their tonsils it becomes unattractive to watch in my opinion.
Was an ok performance but did anyone else notice the comments that Simon made were almost word for word what he said to Carly Rose Sonenclar on the latest American X Factor? The one about it not possibly being her singing and not being human? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU_dBDccruI
I do agree with others that the song choice was a little odd but it could have been chosen to show off her range and they weren't necessarily thinking about how the content would be perceived.
I really didn't like her singing. She seems cute and that so happy for her but the song was too old for her in terms of both lyrics and style of singing. Why can't children just be children?

Was it only me looking down at her little girl shoes... as these lyrics came out and .... CRINGING !!!
Absolutely agree . I posted that during the show , the bloody audience whooping and clapping and screaming before she finished was awful
I thought you could hear every word loud and clear!

Still stand by the fact that Shaheen and Ronan are my favorite kid singers to have ever been on the show.
Natalie Okri is my favourite.
And she was screwed over at the semi's. Another instance of 'I was made to sing that song'.
Just hope she comes back again sometime in the future.

Glad I'm not the only one!
