Tbh, it is she that provoked this thread amongst a couple of others.
Its almost as if the judges have been told to put them through.
A long way? Like the previous winner?
The girl who sang the Noisettes' song was also flat, as well as putting on a comedy voice. Quirky is only good if you also have a good voice.
Do you mean the mum from Belfast? I thought the same until I listened back and think the nerves got to her in the beginning but when she settled in it was very good. I thought there was a little bit of Etta James in there. Surprised Tom didn't mention it.:kitty:
Wasn't keen on here at all. Or any of them tonight really.
The folk duo were my faves! (not that I'd have turned for them either).
She was awful and out of tune none of girls are a patch on Leah.
You are overlooking that the point of the show is to reject anyone who can already sing and to jump at the chance to coach someone who is flat, out of tune and dull because what they are singing sounds different to how the original artist sang it and hence illustrates their potential.
They may well be massively successful songwriters and performers, but they clearly don't have a clue about good singers. Unlike you.
What are your credentials, by the way? Are you a famous recording artist or suchlike?
Wow I totally agree with your first sentence.
My credentials are that I've got a good set of ears and can recognise a decent singer when I hear one, which last night was non existent apart from the last girl.
Some truly dreadful caterwauling this episode (and series generally).
Yes particularly Will I Am...
Thankyou I agree.

Anybody who can hold a note can put on an affected silly voice and be hailed as the next 'unique and truly original' singer. The real challenge comes when the 'quirks' and 'gimmicks' are stripped away from a song and all they are left with is the melody and meaning of a song.
totally agree with the irony in this....what is wrong in singing a song how it was originally sung, too often songs are completed ruined by poor vocal gymnastics. The programme is supposed to be about the voice not the music arrangement, that is something the judges can help with at the latter stages of the competition.
This programme is dire, the auditions take far too long, too much time spent on VT's and I don't know how people sound in the studio but so many of the judges decisions are totally baffling.
I can't believe so many Judges turned for her. She wasn't anything special whatsoever. When the rels were shouting for the judges to press their buzzers I was shouting for them not to do it.
Yes, a good melody, sung well, would be nice.
Why is screeching, 'quirky', and vocal gymnastics supposed to be so great, when it sounds so f'ing awful?
It's all very bland and mediocre imo
And why do they say to Leanne that she was too close to the original verson of Skyfall (which she did very well) etc, but the copy cat of Amy Winehouse (was it Melissa?) they said nothing to about not being original. Not only did she try very hard to look and sound like Amy but her performance was very flat.
Bizzarre.
