Just noticed she practising the song Edelweiss from Sound of music.
Perfectly suits her voice. Hope she gets into finals

Hollie Steel singing Edelweiss today
Poor little lass. She shouldn't worry though : it won't make any difference. People will vote for her based on what she did sing. I reckon it will be her and the countertenor.
I thought she was brilliant. She would have been again exceptionally perfect if the nerves hadn't of affected the performance a TINY bit.
.. a vote for Hollie is a vote for parental pressure. I'm troubled that a parent would allow their child to be exposed to so much intense pressure, instead of protecting them.
Well, I think it is bl00dy disgusting.
It is obvious that she's been pushed into this by her parents. Her mother was pushing her into "having another go" despite the fact that the girl was clearly distressed.
She will have the p1ss taken out of her by her School friends on Monday morning and her "failure" in front of millions of people will haunt her for the rest of her life.
I hope ITV, Cowell et al wake up and see the pressure that these youngsters are under and realise how shattering it can be for someone to suffer such a dramatic failure, on live television, at such a young age.

Exactly.
Assume for a moment that she gets through to the final on a sympathy vote.
How will she perform, bearing in mind she'll be more nervous than tonight?
If her performance doesn't go well at the final how badly will this girl's confidence be scarred?
Think about what you are doing before voting, people!

Clearly that was abusing the child. ITV will have to pull her out of the program there is no way they can allow her to contine they would have the child protecction authorties on them if they did not.
What you saw on your screens tonight was, I believe, a little girl who's missed out on a normal childhood due to a pushy mother.
Very sad imho.
Very sad imho.

The little girl who I know who has a pushy mother is really mixed up and insecure. These pushy parents live their lives through their kids. Disgusting.
