    I really liked her performance of Trouble Maker. It was well sung and controlled unlike Lola's which was just screeching.

    I absolutely would not go that far. She sounded like a lot of female singers who imitate Winehouse/Mary J/Jesse J, actually,but did not remind me of them other than being obviously heavily influenced by them.Having said that,s had a spark of originality and a purer tone and better pitch than most who do so.

    She was easily top 3 of the girls vocally, and I heard enough to think she is capable of more than that. She was definitely one of the strongest singers this year.

    Cheryl was an idiot to let her go. Monica was brilliant. Her singing voice reminded me of Adele. And what was wrong with singing an Olly Murrs song? I'd much rather listen to his music than Cheryl's rubbish songs.

    I saw two issues with Monica.

    First, to me she looked trashy. I'm sure people will disagree with that, but there you go.

    Second, she seemed to have a bit of a defensive attitude, evident when she was quizzed on her song choice. She gave me that "would be difficult to work with" vibe, and I'm sure Cheryl saw it too. I would have shown her the door too.

    First - tbh that's a little rude. I personally think she has a quirky fashion taste. Also the producers don't particularly care about that - look at what they did to Hannah and Tamera every week last year dressing Hannah up in a jumpsuit with a mohawk, and Tamera in raunchy leather jackets - they like the trashy 'urban' look.

    Second - Cheryl's not the one deciding, the producers are. And they let Raign through so evidently Simon doesn't care that much when it comes to people being difficult.

    Not here to sugar coat my opinion for the PC police. I thought she looked trashy, period. As for the producers, here's the deal. They'll work with trashy if there's an underlying attractiveness that comes with it. With Monica, that wasn't the case, so nope, the producers won't be sorry to see her go.

    Regarding the topic of who's doing the deciding, again, I'll correct you. 95% of the time, the judge IS the one who's doing the deciding. Sometimes, and only sometimes, the producers will intervene when they feel a judge (other than Simon) has made a bad call. That's how it works.

    Cheryl only chose Lola because she's geordie. She was shocking!! Monica was far more worthy of a place

    BIB don't be so naive, this is the producers / simon running things here - they pick
