Abi same every week

Abi is the same every week, sat behind a piano singing a slow song. It's disco week, surely she could have adapted and sang it like it's supposed to be

agree , same old dull dreary bore :yawn::yawn::yawn:

There is not one act that is versatile! They do the same thing every week and when they attempt a change they crash and burn!

valezio · 03/11/13 - 03:20

Oh come on, that's not true. Abi had two bad weeks but tonight was brilliant!

[Deleted User] · 03/11/13 - 03:21

Not even a half hearted effort to perform disco, listen to her when she Is meant to hold a note longer than a beat or two,,she just can't do it. At least we saw the return of the flower wreath. To take something and make it unrecognisable, doesn't mean they can sing it, she did not sing well at all. She needs to just focus on songwriting, and leave the singing to those who can actually sing.

At least Abi changes up the song.

Nicholas is a much bigger culprit of doing the same thing every week.

Apt, given the sad demise of disco at her hands....

Elton john and billy joel made a career out of it

Good point Maincoony, lol

cat80 · 03/11/13 - 03:23

Abi is a lovely girl but unfortunately no matter what she sings she sings it the same. Jon Bon Jovi, Disco week etc. It's all the same slowed right down and screeching. It's just boring and not that great to listen to when the way she changes songs is the same every week

The screeching is so painful. :eek:

dodger0703 · 03/11/13 - 03:35

didn't she sing moon river accompanied by a guitarist, and week before sing kylie without any instruments on stage?

4troy7 · 03/11/13 - 03:37

Yes and you have to wonder if some of these critics actually watch the show!

BROXI BEAR · 03/11/13 - 03:41

I think it will be the same till she gets the boot, hopefully soon. She could at least try an uptempo number, it can't be any worse than some of her slowed down crap.

Yes, oddly enough we do. And it isn't about the instrumentation, it's about the turgid plodding pace of every number, the repetitive 'quirk' of 'stripping the song back' and slowing it down to half its normal tempo (the Kylie song, Bon Jovi and again tonight). It's just very, very dull - and actually, rather than 'quirky' it's really VERY unimaginative as people have been doing it (and much better) for ages. check out Richard Thompson doing 'Oops I Did It Again' for a real musician giving a different 'take' on a song.

Oh god, I actually cringed when they just played her again, come on people you really think that is someone who can sing???

In a word, definitely.

[Deleted User] · 03/11/13 - 03:51

Guys she can actually sing, just because she isnt that generic belter doesnt mean she cant singer. She is a singer in her own right and was in her element tonight! Loved it!

redcherry · 03/11/13 - 03:54

Agree OP - Abi same every week - boring!

[Deleted User] · 03/11/13 - 03:56

Abi's singing is like fingernails scratching down a chalkboard, that is how it affects me, it is horrible.

I would get help... or a remote with a mute button.

Makson · 03/11/13 - 03:57

Even Diana Vickers went out of her comfort zone and performed an uptempo number for disco week

Thanks for your concern, I will take it under advisement lol. I wanted to listen tonight to see if she would improve, unfortunately she didn't.

SULLA · 03/11/13 - 04:04

She has still not been allowed to do what she does best

friendlyguy2 · 03/11/13 - 04:05

Abi is fantastic because she puts her own interpretation on the song. It is original and inspiring.

Hey there!
