She sings in tune, but to me she's just mumbling the words. I can't make out a single word she's singing.

    It was not brave. It was a cop out.

    A credible soprano is supposed to sing a song written for a soprano.

    It was italian, thats why you probably cant make out the words.

    It ends Vincero, vincero, vincero.

    Vin chair oh

    And its a mans song.

    O mio babbino caro is better for a woman, i think. (as an example)

    I know it was Italian - I have studied it, but I couldn't make out a single word.

    I expect she learned it phonetically then. Thats what they do, isnt it?

    I think shes got a bit of a nasal voice, a bit like katharine henkins.

    Agreed. She needs to work on that.

    I can't lie, I went right off her in her semi-final when she had no clue of the name or the composer of the song she was singing. Which is unfair, but meh :cool:

    I was really surprised it was by ennio morricone. I thought it was from an old puccini opera, or something similar.

    I was surprised too! It was really beautiful - I meant to research if it's from one of his film scores or if he actually composed an opera but I forgot :blush:

    (if I'd been singing it on stage and sure to be asked about it afterwards I would have remembered though! :p)

    Nella fantasia. We have it on a russell watson album. Maybe on a bocelli one as well.

    It was on the film score for The Mission

    I thought Lucy was fantastic! What a voice she's got on her. She was note perfect as far as I could hear. Can't believe how good she is.

    I must been watching a different show as I don't think she has a "nasal voice" and either does Katherine Jenkins.

    She only just beginning and who knows where her voice can take as she gets more better and better.

    She has a lovely voice, however she absolutely sang the wrong song!

    I have to agree . She has way too much vibrato in her voice . I don't know if she has a singing teacher but the first thing she has to do is to get mastery of all this vibrato .

    I know some won't agree with me but I have heard Joe McElderry sing it so much better! His diction is fine.

    Good voice, but horrible diction. No passion either!

    She was asked about that in an interview I saw during the week, she said she couldn't hear what was being asked because of the noise in the studio. At first I also thought it was strange that she wouldn't know the composer but knowing about her training and background I am pretty sure she does know her music. I believe her when she said she couldn't hear the judges because all these programmes have a screaming audience
