Matt had one when he sang "First time ever I saw your face."
Mary had one when she sang "this is a man's world"
Cher when she sang "stay".
It was meant to happen for Rebecca too. She had lots of really good performances but why did she never have her moment where the audience, judges and viewers at home were all stunned?

Did she get a standing ovation from all 4 judges for this song?
I can't remember.
I agree with this - if she'd done this in one of the pimp slots she had earier in the series she may have had a similar reaction to Stay
funny no-one is mentioning 1D's moment!! that was probably Harrygate:D
Yeah she did but all 3 finalists got standing ovations for each of their performances in the final.
yes but all of them did in the final for everything I think. The only one during the series was Matt's for FT they were a lot more stingy with praise this year I think (well appart from the Beatles of course:D)
cher got a standing ovation, tells you everything.
In the real world she would of been booed off stage and forced into hiding she was that bad.
Dont read anything into it.
This was the problem - she needed a standing ovation from all 4 judges on any show apart from the final. The final is far too late to have a moment.
Another issue for Rebecca was that she had some slightly shaky performances e.g. yesterday.
So maybe she would have found it harder to please everyone then the other acts.
I loved her Sweet Dreams
This.
Yesterday was a terrible performance.
However Sweet Dreams turned me into a fan of hers - that's the route she should go down in terms of her career in the future IMO, but like you say - she left it too late.
She would make a great dance music singer. Rhythm is a dancer, sweet dreams, Show me love etc etc.
Stage presence for many singers is a cover up for 'I have no talent so I will distract you with some pointless and stupid dance routine'
Genuinely talented singers do not need to prance around like an idiot because they have great voices.
You pay for the music, if you wanted to see a show you would go to the west end or similar.
Stage presence is not about dancing. It's about commanding the stage. You can do that by dancing or by standing still at the mike. You can also dance or just sing but have no stage presence.
Many genuinely talented singers may not need to dance because they have great voices, but choose to do so because they can.
Yeh maybe she should of squatted down and curled out a (c)rap like cher.
It's not Cher's fault that Rebecca didn't have a moment.;)
Stage presence is nothing to do with that.
Its to cover up a performers flaws.
Only a few can do both, Lady Gaga being one. Dont like her but she owns the stage and she can sing.
A great singer commands the stage with their voice, everything else is just a gimmick.
poor singers use gimmicks to detract away from the awful sound they make.
Put Cheryl Cole on stage on her own and witness exactly what I mean.
Cher had a lot of moments.
I feel sorry for the cleaners. The smell must of been over powering.
Sweet Dreams gets it I think, if only she had done that a few weeks earlier.
Rebecca was the only contestant who stayed for a decent length of time not to attract one iota of criticism from any of the judges.
We constantly had all the subliminal messages about her being a role model, being from Liverpool & a potential winner etc, even during the weeks where she wasn't up to scratch.
She had arguably the easiest ride this year from the judges; even One Direction received the merest hint of derision from Dannii one week.
All the talk about her not having a stand-out performance is not really fair because she received positive feedback for every single performance she did, even the not so good performances.
Great post:)
