Did the hype ruin Alice F's chances?

I was no fan of her. I thought she was an Amy Winehouse-wannabee and The Voice were right to reject her.
But did all the negative hype scupper her chances of picking up the votes?
It seemed like she was trying to do damage-limitation in her VT, but it didn't really ring true.
She DID seem like two different people on TV and BGT - I think that's what people were put off by - the public aren't fools!
Its too bad if she really is genuine, but even then, she is average at best!!

But, last night, on the night, her performance probably was the best. Admittedly there were some, (all?), pretty poor acts. Once or twice, in fact, even Walliams appeared to have more protential, that's a measure of how bad most of them were.
Exactly. There have been very few acts of any quality so far, and the whole show can only improve. Mind you i'm not holding my breath.
There have been no acts as yet, that have made me say, wow.
They have ranged between dire, to ok, with a few pretty good ones, but nothing really impressive.
Let's hope it improves.
I am not really sure why there is even a show like "Britain got Talent".
There a few Variety shows that will ever showcase anyone talents. I know they get a slot at the Royal Variety, but that is really it.
Back in the day, the talents shows gave us Victoria Wood, Lenny Henry, Les Dennis and a lot of other acts as well. But we had a lot of Variety shows on the tv ie Sunday Night at the Palalium and I also vaguely remember one that was shown on a Sat nite, it was like a end of pier show.
There is really nothing for the majority of these performers unless of course they happen to be singers and they can perform on "The X Factor".
If that young comedian won what else could he appear in after the Royal Variety show!!
Had she left it for a year, she could have put a more positive spin on it..... e.g. "I was rejected and I was shattered - but I've gone and got some vocal coaching and worked on dealing with my nerves so I'm back for another go!"
Her other problem was that the edit shown on the Voice intro didn't make any mention of stage fright. waiting to sing she appeared relaxed and confident, and did her little shimmies while singing - no sign of nerves - and when talking to the coaches after her audition there was none of the tears and shakes. Having seen that, and then the BGT audition where she was suddenly this shrinking violet, she was asking for unfavourable comparisons. Given the producers love of sob stories, I'm sure if stage fright was an issue for Alice, the VT would have mentioned it, they didn't so I must admit I don't think it was mentioned!
That said - I detest Jazz, and don't like her choice of music, so I was never going to be a fan - but her performance last night was underwhelming, and all the skirt gripping and tears were just a bit OTT - the composure of the youngsters really showed her up last night.
If stage fright and nerves are an issue for you - don't enter nationwide talent shows!
Most definitely.
I never knew about her audition for The Voice until I read somewhere they had rejected her. I then saw her on BGT and thought she had a great voice but was somewhat over acting the 'wallflower'.. Still, nerves and all that...
I then saw her on The Voice and couldn't believe it was the same Girl:eek:
Shallow as it sounds, but I decided she was putting all the shy business on and that's what it looks like a good few others think. Shame as she's not exactly done anybody any harm.
Do you know her?
I bet she is back as the wild card.
Cowell would love nothing more than to get one up on the Voice.
Think of the publicity the show will get.
When will the gullable viewers who waste their money on phone calls giving millionaires more money realise........
ITS ALL STAGE MANAGED?
And yet four judges on the voice did not really like her!!!
The point is, we don't know her personally. We have to judge her based on how she comes across on TV. Unfortunately, she came across as two completely different people on The Voice and BGT, so viewers were understandably confused. Then to top it all, her performance last night was woeful! She seemed drunk, slurring her way through the song, forgetting words, then disappearing afterwards. It was just bizarre!
