Apart from forgetting the Words I actually thought Tamera was really good

Especially near the end the high notes when she was belting out was really amazing .

    I agree, i thought it started out a bit shaky and was a bit awkward but the second half, minus forgetting the words was really good. I thought it was cool too and showed her to be like a popstar.

    I dont think she will be bottom 2 tomorrow she was on later in the show so more people saw her, so her fans know she is not save so they will pick up the vote a vote.

    I just don't get her attitude.

    She comes across like she couldn't be a*sed.

    yea I thought he was good - she commands the stage and actually is the only 'real' popstar there. she looks great on stage and has showed that she can perform and not just stand there, lord knows why she's only been allowed to do it twice.

    I agree I thought she was doing good before it happened but the end section was really good when she was belting out .

    Disagree, again with Tameras performances, I found it to have great potential but failed to go anywhere really. There was a beat added to the song which she didnt take advantage of and she sang in too much a theatrical manner which didnt suit her voice.

    I'm so disappointed with her on the show cos she just seems to have so much potential but all of her performances have been underwhelming.

    She just seems like the perfect package, something is still missing though (not just a few words) :D

    I think it might be because she sounds different every week, I'm not sure I know Tamera's voice yet?

    If you sing a Shirley Bassey song, expect a comparison with Shirley Bassey. She was nowhere near. The lyric has a quirkiness that she couldn't get close to. It was classic 'song too big for the singer' stuff.

    David McAlmont sang it better and he's a bloke.

    These songs are just too big for her. She has not got the maturity or the emotional connection to carry them off.

    I think she needs to get some more experience doing songs more suited to her style, that way she might at least look like she is enjoying the experience.

    She was really good tonight, by far her best week. If Nicholas hadn't sung so amazingly tonight she'd have been my favourite this week.

    This is why I wanted her to come back in 2 years time because I didn't think she was ready and tonight actually proved it but anyway she is here now so we will see what happens

    She reminds me alot of Rebecca Ferguson in terms of potential. I much preferred Rebecca to Matt and was always willing her on, but yet many of her performances failed to deliver on the potential - Satisfaction being one in particular.
    She was still really good, it was just like you expected her to 'wow' at some stage and she didn't. Tamera is quite like that in terms of the show- She's being measured off her potential rather than her actual performance on the night, I feel.
    Tonight wasn't the best for her but I still hope that she is in the competition next week.

    I don't think the song was right for her voice, her performance was quite bland and boring, her walking looked insanely stiff, but I did see some times when her swag flickered on. I wish Nicole would give her more upbeat songs where she can have fun and enjoy herself

    I agree she needs more youthful current songs to sing.

    Apart from Sam C singing out of tune, he was amazing.

    Yes
    Jamelia's Superstar OR one of the Sugababes songs...tonight was the wrong song choice so B2 for her tomorrow night looks likely

    Her vocals were outstanding as always. The runs she did in particular on 'when love is go-o-o-o-o-one' were amazing. And her performance was great, she has a lot of gravity on stage that is very natural. I would agree that Nicole should give her a younger, more upbeat song next. I did like Diamonds are Forever as a song choice because it's so dramatic and she did really well with it. But she's done songs from the 80s, 70s, 50s and the 60s now. Time for something a bit younger and more fun.

    I wanna hear her sing:

    Maria Carey Like That
    Ashanti Only You
    Christina Milano Say I
    Cassie Me and You

    They could legit re master the production to make the songs more suited to her voice. She could do well with these songs since they have an "Urban" feel but are still Pop. I'd love to see someone fill that Rock/RnB gap that no one seems to be doing, If Tamera did it, it would make her stand out as an artist since no one is doing it. I have so many ideas it kills me :cry:

    But yeah for this week she could of sang Jamelia's Superstar, change the production a bit it could of been gold

    Remembering the words is quite important but I have no doubt that they will sort it out in the recording studio:p

    She is poor in her lower range. She seems to miss words out:eek:

    I cannot believe that she was considering doing Bohemian Rhapsedy:p
