best on the night but do not like HER, nothing would make me vote for her because of that. You have to have both talent and be likeable to make it, she may well struggle in the personality stakes.
If Cher had the same vocals but the personality of Rebecca, she would be the untouchable favourite IMO.
I am puzzled by the judges' reactions to a number of acts tonight, Cher being one of them, Katie and 1D and quite probably Aiden the others. While she was singing I was actually suffering for her because (I thought) she was embarrassingly bad, but then, no, the judges tell us she is best in the whole series, which means (since Rebecca has just been told she's 'World Class') that Cher is preternaturally, or universally brilliant. :eek:
That's just crazy talking.
Trust the evidence of my own ears or Simon Cowell... Give me a moment to decide. :cool:
Hats off to her for trying something different but stick to the rap. That's what I would advise the kid.
Can I just re open it to present you with the Most Honest and Rational Poster of the Night Award.:)
Thank you My very first Most Honest and Rational Poster of the Night Award. I would like to thank.. hehe just kidding.
I felt I needed to get across that unfortunately I was a victim of Simon/Cheryl/Audience Cher Lloyd manipulative praise syndrome. They took me when I was most vulnerable!! Thankfully now I am fully recovered and I can safely say she was definitely NOT the best performance of the night, or entire season for that matter. And most definitely NOT amazing.

I am ashamed of myself.
Sleep on it. I think you will find that you will wake up tomorrow and realise that you were right when you started this thread.
Thought the judges talked her up due to her age, if I'm honest. She sang like a kid in a school production. Competent but barely that. No risks vocally, nothing interesting about her when she's not being Shaggy-from-Malvern. She also seemed very immature in that she didn't seem to connect with (or understand) the lyric. Appalling, I thought - and a lot of echo on the mic which is usually the clue they think someone has a 'thin' (weak) voice.

Maybe, we will see. But I think I'm almost pretty certainly maybe definitely sure that Cher wasn't AMAZING tonight. Very good, yes, but by no means AMAZING. A Leona or Ruth performance is AMAZING. I have a better chance of swimming the channel than Cher coming close to that standard. Sorry, I know I sound like I'm hating on her but I do honestly think Cher was very good. Amazing was the wrong word for me to use. Apologies.
Some people think she was amazing, very good, good, satisfactory, diabolical etc etc .. But we all have our own opinion, lets all respect that
I've just watched the show as I've been out tonight.
OMG, Cher was amazing. I thought she was great last week too, but tonight, just breathtakingly good.
I can't stand 'her' - but I think I'm warming to her, I admit.
Katie to go tomorrow night, please God. I'm not lucky enough (or daft enough) to think One Duh-rection will go as I'd prefer - they are utter fu**ing shite and I pity the little ***** voting for them. It's just not funny.

Not in the slightest. He's a love, but a singer he isn't. I like Matt, I think Aiden is absolute crap but generally the rest (except One Duh-rection - they make me want to spit) are ok, but I'm pretty indifferent really.
I thought she was good - a better singer than I've given her credit for, although I don't like her voice when she goes too high. She has one of the best performances of the night, IMO.
Having said that, she was absolutely nothing on the original. But I do love the original so it would have to be pretty amazing to come close for me.
I think the overhype is ridiculous though. It was good, but I hardly think it was performance of the season (or 'ever' as some people are saying!). I wouldn't say she's one of the best singers, but she'll make the top 4 at least I think.
I think people dislike her as a person more then what talent she has, I know I do, she was good tonight, but how can you really praise someone for "singing" in a singing competition.
She is not somebody to like, quite an ugly sort of person, her make-up is horrendous, and her attitude is awful
I pity those of you who let Simon Cowell's praise cloud the fact that it was a very ordinary vocal that is inferior to what most of the other females in the competition have already done.
In your opinion OP.
In my opinion Cher was very brave and did sing well. She stepped right out of her comfort zone and I admire her hugely for that.
But I don't think her straight singing voice was "amazing" compared to some of the older contestants.
She is still very young and has years to develop her voice.
All in all good for her.
she was good last night - however I do think it is weird on here that you can't put out any constructive criticism without people getting on your back. Surely everyone is entitled to an opinion on all the singers in the show when following it every week and we never all like the same people. I love Aiden but would not slate anyone who didn't. Just a thought.
edit: this thought was not so much aimed at this thread but other Cher ones I have been reading - rant over
i thought she was very quiet when singing, so much so i could barely hear her vocals. the song never took off like it does when the original artists sing it. it was a 'safe' performance and enhanced by the fake tears at the end. i've nothing against cher but it was awful - katie in comparison is letting her singing do the talking.
Cher in my opinion sung very average. She was absolutley not the best on the night let alone the series! She seemed very weak without the staging and dancers. IMO Rebecca, Aiden, Matt and 1D were better than her.
Sick of Cher supporters claiming her as the second coming. She is a rather ordinary girl with a thin, reedy voice who is getting far too much attention

I don't smoke. I think she gave a great vocal rendition.

All in all good for her.
There are several massive vocalists in the competition where to surpass their previous performances will gett increasingly difficult.
Cher provided shock and awe last night, hence the reason for the overhype about her performance.
She is a great young performer, but I can't see her blowing the rest of the top notch vocalists out of the water yet.
