Thats my favourite cover of hers on youtube! Not an easy song to sing and although she does look a little uncomfortable, it's great!!
She looked so adorable with her shyness and the letter cardigan!

I don't really hear Vickers... She has more of a Birdy/Ellie vibe to her IMO... Will be interesting to see how they try to market her!... Definitely some potential there though!
I thought she was brilliant. Probably a shoe in to be a finalist, which makes me happy.
I just worry that she sounds too much like another artist (Ellie Goulding) that might hinder her. I mean the resemblence in the voice is uncanny.

Best performance of the show today for me!! She was amazing and she live less than 30min away from where i live :O
She sounds a lot like Cathy Davey and Delores O'Riordan, two other Irish songstresses!
It is probably a bit early for this, but she is one of my favourite contestants ever. She has such a lovely tone to her voice, and I love the irish lilt to it. I think it was a bit similar to Ellie Goulding, but she's only 16 and will be used to imitating other artists but I can't wait to see how she develops throughout the competition. For what it's worth, I think Janet's version was better than Ellie's anyway. I think she definitely could have a good shot of winning.
The video of her audition on the official XF channel is out of sync which is disappointing but there are others.
Keep in mind, this is her first audition, and there's plenty of time for her to progress.

I've just seen her I'm watching it taped as I was out last night but her voice is brilliant. She's definitly the best so far I love her voice and she's really likeable. Plus she's from Northern Ireland too. Love her. 
I think she was great, the only one that really got to me last night. She seemed so sweet and innocent aswell, which does kind of worry me. The press hate nice people, so she may be at risk of getting some stick from them throughout the competition if she (touch wood) makes it.
My friend was telling me today that her aunty works with Janet's mum and says Janet is exactly how she came across on-screen, just a really unassuming, modest lovely wee girl. Love her voice, I know you can say she sounds like Ellie Goulding but she actually reminds me more of the likes of Dolores O'Riordan and I actually picked up a tiny bit of the Amy Mc Donald acoustic chick vibe off her. Dead cert for the lives IMO and I'm absolutely not biased because she's from not far away from me
Just catched up on the show and I have to say Janet is definitely my favourite from Saturday's show.
Her shyness, creativity, quirky image and voice makes me want to see more of her. I think she's a definite for the live shows too and, as premature as this may sound, I don't think I would mind it if she became the third female winner of XF and the first Irish one.

I said I wouldn't mind. Not that I would want her to compared to other yet-to-be-known contestants. As things stand, I can't see myself disliking her at all. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not.
