She has the voice and overall package and will do just fine
We all know that winning guarantees you nothing!
Jermaine had 2 shoddy songs and his last and wills speech probably helped him across the line, pity vote IMO
Shame that the running order wasn't the other way round hmmm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABauzZBx5q8 - 1:48 in, Christina really shouldn't of done that, she overran the vocal to the point where she missed a beat when it came to timing which highlights a lack of control.
Wow I couldn't fault her, I love when a singer makes me not worry if they will miss a note and for me she nailed everything
Better than Sam Bailey IMO
Well at least all the acts can sing on The Voice. But I do hope she does well, her voice is too good too waste. But the track record for this show isn't great so I am slightly worried
Totally agree:). That is could be why these type of reality shows are losing viewers both here and in the States.
I'm pretty sure that we will never see her on our screens again tbh.
She was nothing special as a singer and she lacked one of the main components required for success . Likability .
I agree.
I like Frankies "The power of love" and she certainly spoilt it for me.
I've seen this comment a few times, about Christina only 'shouting' or 'belting out' her songs. It's quite wrong. You only need to watch last night's performances again and you will clearly see how she changes tone and volume to suit the emotional level of the words.
Light and shade, that seems to be the phrase everybody is using. I saw plenty of light and shade. She's not Picasso, though, she's a singer. So it's not as simple as changing the way you use a pencil.
I thought Christina sang very well with the Kaiser Chiefs. But I don't know why anybody would expect Ricky to remain involved in her career. He got paid to do a job and he did it. He's not record producer like WilldotIdotam.
Some people have criticised her personality but shy and retiring wouldn't get her far when she is knocking on doors trying to get on in the music industry. She needs to be outgoing and confident. Unlike Leanne who didn't seem to want to push herself forward to improve her career, I think Christina will work hard at it.
Not for the final. Lowest of all three years.
Sorry, don't agree at all. She goes too big too soon. It's something she needs assistance with and something experience will help with. I suspect it's because she does, underneath it all, lack a bit of confidence and feel like if she's not giving it everything people will lose interest. Hope she gets good advice from people who really understand performing, not just singing.
A good analogy is gymnast who has one really brilliant move - do it all the time and it doesn't become special though. I don't think she's mixed it up enough. I don't blame her for this but it's the sort of constructive criticism that she should be getting.
Totally agree.
We saw her use subtlety in her BR but once she got to the lives she just seemed to be VERY loud! I think Ricky may have let her down a little there because he seemed to encourage the loudness/power of her voice at the expense of the gorgeous tones she has when she sings softly. She had some great songs but, sadly the meaning of the lyrics were lost in all the noise.
Yes, she has the voice
A voice that's at least twice the volume levels that a song requires
Shouting does not equate to singing, and thankfully the viewers realised that
She'll never be heard from again, thank goodness.
Christina shouted about as much as Sally had personality. Not at all. She had a powerful voice and showed it to us, as well as showing us the lighter side.
We will definitely be hearing about her again, thank goodness.
I don't think it's fair to say 'definitely', as a neutral.
The runners-up we've heard from after the show have had rabid fanbases who never forgot about them - JLS, One Direction, Olly Murs. Whilst the female acts who've fallen at the final hurdle have seemed to struggle - Ella Henderson, Janet Devlin, Laura White etc. These are all acts who DS has said will DEFINITELY be heard of for a long time.
If Christina Marie is going to 'work', the fans need to do the leg work. If she has a small concert, make sure it sells out in minutes. Keep the buzz alive about her. Get her the Youtube views. But if you forget about her when BGT comes on and have a new flavour of the month, she'll be forgotten by 2015.
