Good singer, but I can see her Vicker's-like vocal affectations hurting her appeal over the course of the competition, like it did for Diana. Her style could get real annoying, really fast. Janet will end up a marmite singer, I think.

I'd say the same for Joe this year, and Aiden Grimshaw from last year.

I don't mind her voice for the most part, but I wish she'd stop doing that thing where, at the end of a word, her voice flicks upwards for a split second. It goes way too high and sounds a bit like when you accidentally scrape your plate when eating and it makes that sudden shrill screechy noise that just goes right through you.

She reminds me of someone pretending to be Evanna Lynch whilst trying to sing like Ellie Goulding. I don't know if I'm just boring and cynical, but she seems really fake.

I hope she's not though.

I like the yodel (I liked it in Diana Vickers too) but a LOT of people agree with you about that.

I really like her, but agree with OP that she is too much like DV and will likely suffer the same fate.

This so much, I can't believe no one else has said anything about it yet! I probably would like her if it wasn't for that. It grates me so much.

Because I'm more astute than everyone else

Only joking. I figured someone else has probably mentioned the similarities on another thread or forum, but I haven't paid much attention to what's said about her, so I don't know. But she really does have that Vicker's thing going on, where she can obviously sing, but you can really see people hating her voice after a few weeks.

Gary even cursed her by giving pretty much the exact praise he gave to Diana (he also said she made every song sound better than the original etc. Gary was convinced Diana was going to walk the competition, so if I was Janet, I'd be worried).

I find her far more authentic and likeable than Diana. I didn't like Diana at all but I'm loving Janet.

Her audition was much better, and the eyeliner was OTT. But I still like her, and there's nobody else in the competition like her this year.

I think she has a horrible voice. It's weak and she's just playing on the quirkiness to try to make is sound better. It doesn't work.

No, you are definitely the first, there hasn't been a single mention of a similarity.

To be fair the voice is definitely 'fake'. She could sing plainly, in fact she did on the more powerful bits of the Aerosmith song. It was the same with Vickers - the warbling thing only works for certain songs/passages.

You could say the same about Goulding though - her voice is put on too. I'd say about 0.01% of singers sing oddly without trying and find it impossible to sing 'normally'.

That's my completely amateur opinion anyway.

i made the comparrison the other day, and was shot down LOL

i think she will probably suffer the same fate as diana, and flop somewhere near the middle!

Diana had a good voice but chose to sing in that funny style. Janet...I think this is all she's got and it's not very good.Her whole sound and shy girl image is going to have limited appeal (hopefully)
