She is hilarious but didn't deserve her final place.

I found her very entertaining, though her keyboard playing sounded decidely ropy.

How can anyone not love her? As that is the only sort who would be entertained by untalented out of time keyboard abuse. Some people are easily pleased and just don't understand what music is or that it should matter how it's played. |

I just think it's nice to see someone on the show who is genuinely appreciative of the opportunity and not so far up her own backside like some of the acts have been to date. She seems lovely.

But, hey, you must be correct. |

I do like her as a person but I was in the kitchen when she came on and listened and could not see her. She may look great fun but, sound only, her playing was not only not good, it was absolutely appalling, so bad she could never be played on radio or launch a CD, not live anyway. She was better the first time, but, basically, there are hundreds of secondary school music teachers who do every what she does, they just don't wear spangly jackets and act bonkers. When I saw it played back she was surrounded by oiled, semi-naked male dancers. It was totally incongruous. Who directs this junk?
So that's two seriously bad keyboard players in the final round. All 4 finalists so far are music acts. How convenient for Simon to exploit. At least the show didn't push them at us over, say, anyone on a bicycle or doing a traditional variety act. |

I am sure she is lovely and she is clearly very talented but her act does nothing for me.

I feel "some" people on here should go and look at Jeans website, and then might realize just how talented and accomplished muscian she actually is, she has travelled all over the world and is very much in demand.
We are here to judge her on what she did on the show and no one should be required to go elsewhere. Why do you thonk that they should do that before they make a valid judgement? It's truly bizzare that someone would even suggest that in the first place. ![]() ![]() ![]() She was not a talented musician on last night's show as she played out of time - Care to stick with the show and comment about her out of time playing and how VERY VERY bad it was? |

I suspect the vast majority of the negative comments are more to do with the fact that its a style of music that they don't like. Saying that Jean is "crap" and all the rest of it is factually incorrect.
For example I loathe Cliff Richard's style but I wouldn't say he was crap, because he isn't. |

I'm sure she's a nice woman but smiling inanely and bashing a piano out of tune is not talent and an insult to people who do put an effort into a proper act on this show.

This act was utterly laughable, to say the least! Her keyboard skills were all over the place in last night's show. Plus, that running her finger down the whole length of the keyboard was bloody annoying when done as often as she did. I just couldn't hear a consistent tune from her. She was looking at the audience whilst behaving like an escaped asylum patient, and all the time she was doing this I was thinking to myself, for goodness, woman, concentrate on what you're doing. I didn't find it appealing at all, but just a whole mess.

I think they should have had Michael Winner on the show last night after she had finished her performance saying "Calm down dear!"
I thought she as going to explode How that bunch of idiot judges put this manic woman through to the final is totally beyond me. But then again what do you expect from Amanda (I could not get any further up Simon Cowell's backside if I tried) Holden, Michael McIntyre (I am so funny I am) and David (I absolutely love myself) Hasslehoff. As for Simon Cowell - well what can I say but all that botox has seriously affected his brain. |
