But to here the way people carry on you'd think she was a gangster or a person who shot the Exmoor stag.

I wouldnt deny she is a drama queen, I also wouldnt claim she is an especially strong singer... but she is someone who is quite young, in the midst of an experience that she is obviously finding hard to deal with... dont you think all the hate is a bit over the top?

What has she actually done wrong other than acted like a young person who takes themselves too seriously sometimes (as most of us do at some stages of our lives) while under an immense out of strain and pressure - plucked from an ordinary life to a tabloid one with hardly any preparation?

I might not think she is a great singer, but I cannot find any reason to personally dislike her

She will get the bounceback vote next week.

She needs to stick up tempo songs I think

Poeple are just believing tabloid press sadly(teenage girls)because of alledged dealings with Matt Cardle. Frankly as a male it's pathetic, Ive mentioned before in other threads.

The press pick on the most interesting, self absorbed, fame hungry but fragile contestants and rips them apart. I feel sorry for her- it's like watching Danyl Johnson all over again.

I'm actually younger than that.

But in the context of the competition, singing alongside the likes of teenage Cher, Aiden, One Direction - she's a grown adult and really should start acting like one.

I don't understand the hate either, guess people jump on the media bandwagon. Have no mind of their own

Except that Danyl was neither self-absorbed or fame hungry...or particularly fragile They still went all-out to destroy him though, with help from Biffa.

She's already had an album and been back and forth to America for years. She's also had her mini documentary on YouTube so will be a lot more used to having camera's following her around than the other contestants. Far from being the naive and innocent young girl that you seem to think she is, I think she is a very media savy and tough adult woman, who has been chasing fame so long and changed her name and image so many times to try and find it, that she comes across as fake and it is this which puts people off her. She's not a bad person and I don't wish her harm but I do find her very annoying.

As a female I find it equally pathetic, although not as pathetic as ridiculously sexist, ageist assumptions like yours...

Actually, I disliked her long before the Matt Cardle story broke, & I've lost a lot of respect for him after his reaction to it. But thanks so much for all the baseless stereotypes, & I'm so glad to know that you, as a male, are completely immune from irrational dislike.

I find it difficult to explain why I don't like her, I just can't take to her. I don't buy tabloid papers, and only get to hear about things she has done from what people post on here, so it's not that I'm being manipulated by the press.

From her first audition it appeared she thought she was already a star, but one who just hadn't made it big record sales wise. There was something about her attitude when she got the words wrong, stopped, and asked to sing again that I didn't like. The image was a bit 'try hard', and she seemed like one of those stage school rejects, somewhat delusional about their talents, as if Mummy and Daddy had pumped it into her from an early age that she was going to be a massive star when she grows up. It's quite sad really. The air of desperation she gives off, (which is quite different to the drive, passion and determination some other contestants have shown in the past), repels me a little bit.

I think the true stars of shows like these are the ones who show a bit of grit, don't moan or cry, and strive to do better and improve each week. I just don't think she has that.

(Considering I said I found it hard to explain why I don't like her....I gave it a good go! LOL!)

Generally agree, she's just kind of annoying, whereas I do really do sincerely hate the b*stards who killed the stag (& indeed all deer), that was a really good example!

Good points from JohnHughes there which sums it up for me really...and the vid from IsThisNameFree, with the umbrella and all that it just reeks of effort and trying to hard!

She definitely is unlikeable which is a shame as i quite like her voice, but she is unlikeable as a person.
