I preferred Katie singing the Etta James song to We Are the Champions. I think it was a shock suddenly to be told to sing something else, which could be why she forgot a lyric early on.
I could picture Katie as a biker chick, a bit like Katy Bullock who featured in the first episode of X Factor last year.

Katie comes from Harefield on the London/ Herts border, not far from Geri's home town of Watford. This might explain any likeness in their accents.”
WOO! That means I'm not mad!
I have to say I love Katie's style. I don't get why people think she's pretentious. People can be naturally quirky. It really comes across as though she loves the 80s.

but her 'style' is all fake. the quirky is an act. She probably didn't even know who Freddie Mercury was until the XF powers-that-be constructed this persona for her.

Katie left me looking forward to seeing her again. I have liked a few others (such as Mary, Amy Louise yesterday to name but two), but nobody has struck me like Katie. So it will make my day if she makes it to the finals!
