That's the question I'm asking myself tonight after such a bland performance of an instantly forgettable song.

I recognised one of her songs (the overplayed one) in her intro, but her flatline performance, looking like MC Hammer's lesser known twin, was diabolical and made Kylie look good by comparison.

What on earth?!

They're trying too hard to portray her as the next big thing. It isn't working.

She's amazing

Not if tonight's show is anything to go by.

I had never heard of Rita until being on xfactor.

Xfactor is no longer a talent show, but more of a promotion show to get more sales for existing artists.

Her songs are good, but she can't sing very well, doesn't have a lot of star quality and just lacks 'it'.

In contrast to Rihanna's performance in the 2010 final.
