Cos its all an act to gain popularity, she seems false and over the top to me and I have heard that she isnt very nice to other finalsts off camera! I think she'l go a long way - i think shes awful but for some reason people out there seem to like her...im obviously missing something

i DON'T KNOW WHERE SOME PEOPLE GET THJEIR INFORMATION(LIES). Ro has always been nervous before going on stage, but once on she is a professional. what you see is the real person. she is very emotional, but what you see is her being herself. she gets on with all the acts, as i'm sure they will all tell you, so dont be so judgemental She is the kindest, most down to earth person and her friends count themseles as being very lucky.

It's infuriating for all the Ro fans to have to read these things over and over and over again but it must be even more so for you Marci as you actually know the real person. We defend her as best we can but unfortunately people will still hear 'stories' and make what they will of them. I, and many, many others are backing Ro 200% though and will carry on to defend her as best we can.
Go Ro!

thanks for your words. you sound like you might know her, i hope you will, if you done. what you see is what you get with Ro, warts and all, but she's real

No, I don't know her Marci, but from the first time I saw her on X Factor I have been a big fan of hers and I think that she comes across as genuinely a nice person, with heaps of talent who is very emotional. But surely it is better to be emotional than a cold fish who comes across as false? Well it is in my eyes anyway! Like you say, at least she is keeping it real. People are just scared of the competition so have to do her down But for every person that does that there are loads more who can see the good side. I feel sorry for you having to read all this stuff though. It must get very tiring for you. I wish her the best of luck

Also - let's not foget that pre-performance nerves create adrenaline and often a better performance! Often it's the really emotional people who are the best performers. I think Rowetta is just honest about how she's feeling and I don't see what's wrong with that.

I'd also guess that the comments about her 'rock and roll' lifestyle were tongue in cheek and referred more to smoking and late nights than to any kind of drugs! I'm sure that if there was the slightest whiff of anything like that that Simon and Co wouldn't be stupid enough to let it out into the public arena with a throwaway comment.....

Just my two-penceworth!

What goes on before is not important as long as they can do the business on stage. Didn't the King himself famously say, " I'm all shook up".
Mick Jagger was heard to say, " Here comes my 19th nervous breakdown"
