She doesn't even have a voice as good as them. She could have got away with the standing on stage if she had an impressive voice like Leona did, but Ella just has no weight (well not emotional anyway) behind her voice, I agree she sings like some stage school wannabe not a diva in the making.
She may 'write songs' but so have many other contestants, and the material that I've heard from her is far from hit material. She has been massively overhyped, and when you look at it she is just an average contestant all round.
Take Rebecca or Amelia, neither of them could dance, but they had their own styles and commanded the stage. Ella has no stage presence and her performance last night was dreary and boring.
