Thought I'd make one as she doesn't yet have one.

Thought she was really sweet and seems a real nice person.

Hopefully her confidence is a lot higher in future rounds and maybe she'll perform even better !

I'm in. I know it was a sob story but her voice was so beautiful and raw, she connected with me.

I really llike this girl. I think she deserves to win or do well out of this show based on all the people I've seen so far. Well she might have a sob story but she has the talent to back it up. I really hope she goes far.

Lemme in!
By far my favourite so far, I wasn't expecting that voice, but it's beautiful!

Just watched the audition again to be certain of my feelings and I'm glad to say my first impresssion remains, Rebecca is amazing.

She has such a beautiful tone to her voice and she sang with such soul. I really hope she gets a long way into the competition 'cos I wan't to hear a lot more of her.

She's great. Very old school. Reminds me of the 1940's for some reason.

Hope her confidence goes up for Bootcamp and she does well.

I'm definitely a fan. Can't wait to see her confidence improve and see what she does at bootcamp!

Took the plunge and placed a bet on 365 of a £100@ 10/1 for Rebecca to win.

Don't let me down girl.

And please no spoilers concerning her progress beyond the auditions.

Lovely little clip of Rebecca singing If I were a boy tonight. Hopefully we will see her bootcamp song tomorrow and fingers crossed she makes it through to Judge's house.

She's head and shoulders above the rest that I have seen so far but her lack of confidence will be her undoing. I don't know where it is going to come from but if she makes the live shows she needs to get it from somewhere.

I thought she sang beautifully tonight. And for once Simon has it spot on when he said about her having a recording voice. I can easily imagine listening to one of her CD's without having to see her in person.

I hope she makes the live shows.

Loved her performance tonight, I really hope she can regain some confidence because if she does she'll be absolutely brilliant.

I think she's this years winner tbh and I did predict Joe would win last year from this stage!

That's my fear too. The girls category is even stronger now that they've raised the bar to 28 and with Cheryls love for the abomination that is Cher Loyd it only leaves two places for her to fill and there's some decent competition.

I really like her, I could see myself, relaxing just closing my eyes while I listened to her sing. She's really good, her voice actually reminds me a bit of Billie Holiday.

Love her, so modest, lovely unusual voice that sounds old fashioned, but current too (that sounds weird but makes sense in my head ) A real lady!!!

This is why I like her so much already. That and she is immaculately presented in a very classy way. I just hope the stylists don't try to make her "young".

The style matches the voice. Leave her alone!

I am surprised there are not more on Rebecca's AT. She is my favourite recording voice of the girls this year so far.

Joe McElderry's AT started off slow last year and then exploded. Perhaps the Rebecca AT may follow the same pattern. Once she has had time to demonstrate her abilities so that everyone gets her of course.

Wish her well. Her and Matt are my favourites so far.
