Why has Sharon put Shelly through? yes she can sing but she is cringyworthy and common and trashy...She made us all shudder and cringe with her performance. Truly shocked and disappointed in Sharon. Out of the two it should have been Joseph. Sharon has no chance of winning now

Or perhaps she was the best they could come up with for a joke act in the lives
True, though I'd say the same for Sam too.
To be fair, she does have a good,solid if untrained voice, and sometimes, I find myself being impressed with the way she approaches parts of songs. I understand why they want her in the lives, and I think she'd go over really well working as a cruise ship feature performer in the future, at the very least. She may even surprise us, if she can find the right niche . I think a quirky semi-jazz retro thing could work for her, myself, especially acoustic. The cheesy backings with midi drum tracks they've given her are part of the disadvantage she currently has.
I'm disappointed she's through, especially after Sharon said that she had all these bad habits. Surely having a 'limited' voice is at the very least better than that?
Sounds like the reason some people don't want her is good, old fashioned class snobbery.
Hmmm, I doubt the X Factor's viewing demographic or this forum's members are going to be made up of the Vanderbilts or the Windsors. Maybe people are just bored with the joke acts which is what Shelley is this year tbh. Shelley for her part does the whole "ooh awr" Devon lass schtick probably because she has no real identity so its better to fit the 'dopey bird' catergory that proves popular ever year- Stacey Solomon has turned it into a nice little earner.
She'll be voted off first - unless someone else forgets their words and has a car crash first performance. She may scrape through because she can belt out a song - the others might struggle with some of the daft themes.
Joseph would surely get more votes every week than Shelly will? It's mostly women who vote isn't it and no-one will vote for her except her family/friends.
Or other chubby, divorced women who think she's representing them
I think they'd have more taste!
That said, it makes a very refreshing change having a joke act that can really sing (Johnny Robinson could, too, but Louis barely ever let him).
It's nowt to do with class snobbery (hell, Shelley probably looks like aristocracy compared to me), but she really drives me up the wall with all those stupid faces she pulls, the daft "raunchy" moves, and the "quirkiness" she demonstrates in interviews.
She'll be dressed up in silly sequined dresses, given hordes of topless musclemen backing dancers carrying her in on a dfs sofa or something each week, and she'll kareoke her way through cheesy disco faux-empowerment anthems until the judges pull the whole "the competition is getting serious now, it's just your time" line and shaft her off, with any chance of her having a career completely ruined by the fact that she's now seen as a joke.
But, eh, she's a better singer than most joke acts, so...
Although the little dark haired girl was good too
I thought that too
People were saying 'no joke act this year?' well here she is.
