    Love Tamera :) the Daily Mail on the other hand :mad:

    Thought she was one of the best tonight. Can see her and Rough Copy in the final.

    Thank you for confirming what a sad, selfish society we live in. I think if it had been a member your family she degraded and assaulted you may have been singing a different song.

    You only don't like her because of what you've read in the papers, I don't see how she's done anything on the actual show to be branded 'unlikeable' :rolleyes:

    I'd have to say though there's something not quite right with her body language, even if we had never read anything about her.....she doesn't come across as the most likable of people personality wise.

    for sure :) if this is her week 1 what will she be like in week 5/6 !!!

    You know what...I'm glad she started with a uptempo track and did a good performance. If she does stay longer we will hopefully see her do some ballads:)

    She hasn't done anything on the show that makes her I likeable, but she has confirmed that the stories are true, so its not just "what's in the papers" is it?

    Anyway, why does it upset you so much that others don't particularly like her or take issue with her past?

    The problem is she's being pimped for the finals. The public don't appreciate being told who to like so unfortunately we direct our ire and dislike for her. Kitty was far more likeable imo.

    I have to agree, I definitely think they're pushing her, I'm not crazy about her either

    If despising the Mail makes me sad and selfish then I welcome those attributes.

    I only watch the show and go on what I see on there and I see a great singer and ready made pop star in Tamera.

    If the article in the Daily Mail is true then she is a drug taking, violent bully who should in jail.

    Yes IF the article is true.... but it seems you already believe it and are sharing it anyway!!

    She confirmed it to be true and made a public apology when the story broke. So no "if's" needed.

    Umm it clearly is 'what's in the papers' because you haven't pointed out anything she's done on the show that makes her unlikeable, I don't see what the other contestants have done to make themselves so much more likeable...

    And because that's not what this show is about, people should be purely judging her on her voice and how she comes across on stage and nothing else.

    This has only happened once before for me - with Kitty.

    The person has been really good, but it's so hard to like them. She won't be getting my vote because of that.

    Anyone else struggling with it too?

    Kitty was rubbish.

    Tamera is a star - she just has whatever it is.

    But you're right there is something about her that she will have to be really careful doesn't work against her. If we see any Diva behaviour she'll be toast.

    I know Tamera can do better but I thought it was a decent performance by her. Doing uptempo tracks and keeping it in tune isn't easy

    This has been done far better by other past contestants. Tamera was good, but not worthy of the hype and praise she has been getting from some.

    Mate it's only week 1...I'll think she'll get much better as the shows goes on

    But that's just it. Comparing her to others, she hasn't come in as strong as previous frontrunners did in week 1. She will improve, but I don't think she's deserving of the hype.

    They might as well call it The Tamera Show, with support.

    I shall chose who I want to support or not by my own standards thanks. If I cannot morally support someone like that, I won't.

    I'm not going to pretend she isn't what she is because she is pretty and has a good voice, or because she hasn't gone postal on the show.

    Thanks.

    Give her time and we will discuss this later in the weeks (if she is still there). I personally don't agree her being the frontrunner. I rather if she wasn't the early favourite

    It's the producers who promoted her into favouritism. They uploaded an 11 minute clip of her arena audition onto Youtube....maybe the longest clip for an auditionee ever.

    I know you love replying to my posts - I was waiting for your responses :D
    Personally I don't agree with the hype and favouritism in any contestants whether they are my favs or not

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2411030/X-Factor-star-Tamera-Foster-threatened-teenager-attacking-high-drugs-Gravesend.html

    Is this the article or is there more :confused:

    It was in her past and it was dealt with. The police were involved but it wasn't taken any further than a telling off. She is sorry for her behaviour and has publicly apologised so isn't it now time to move on :cool:

    Regarding drug taking as she is only now 16 I think that is something for her parents to deal with tbh.

    I didn't notice her that much in the audition stages but thought she was great tonight and I agree with Louie she will give Leona and Alexandra a run for their money.

    Thought she was Lip Syncing badly tonight and did very little of her own singing during her song

    Tamera = ok, but Chaka Khan she ain't - nowhere as good.

    This she is a weak singer I don't see what is so great about her.
