Since her age is the sole reason people are hyping the song, I thought a little context might be useful. And its the overblown praise and inevitable broken promises that'll cause her the harm. At her age, its entirely understandable that she doesn't know how to write a real song yet (or sing, or play the piano). Keep trying, work harder, take the time to find your own voice, then come back in two years, or three or four, is what the judges should have said. As it is, she won't get anywhere near the top 3 in the final and will soon be forgotten whether or not Syco release a single, and then by 15-years-old she'll be has-been forever striving to recapture past glory. Nice work, Simon!
Oh, and 'light blues' - if anyone is listening to anything published by the Syco label (or indeed anything currently in the charts) in 250 years time then I'll happily rise from the grave and eat my hat and boots. |

nice to see plenty of people have time to come on here and criticise a 14 year old girl for either:
a) playing the same song twice (which all performers do!!) b) not being as good as mozart (?!?!?!?) c) suggesting that at a concert people should not light their lighters and wave it in the air (have you seen a band play live) and this from a number of people who praise The Voice "coaches" for being "constructive" and not "critical". Tut tut. whether you "like" it or not, this is a great song for a young writer and better than anything from last years "the voice" and "x factor" winners. Like it NOT ! It's a mish-mash Of "Where is the love" and Alicia Key's "No One " plus a few others . I bet there are lawyers working around the clock to get their clients a cut of the royalties. |

Wonder if the judges would have said to anybody else had they done the same 'performance' as they had done in their 1st auditions!!

She's a one trick pony. I bet her other songs are poor, that's why she sang this song again just 2 days after her audition was shown.
This is a cute song, but it shouldn't be about one song being good, it should be about her talent as a singer. Every other act did something different. They are all told at auditions to bring something extra next time. Clearly this didn't apply to her. And if she is in a competition that is open to all ages, then her age is irrelevant, she should be judged by the same standards. |

well there are no rules as to how an individual judges someone, but obviously large numbers of people disagree with the negative comments as she made the final.

The two dancers who opened the show (I think they opened it?) performed a very similar routine to their one at their audition. And didn't Shaheen sing the same song twice (once in his auditions and once in the live shows)? |

It's an incredibly catchy tune and a pretty well constructed song. Her voice is strong and in tune, she has more talent than a lot of adult so called 'stars' who can not write their own material and can barely sing. She has a great future as a songwriter if nothing else.

I missed the first audition and for some reason, I expect it to be better. I found it quite cheesy, especially the rap parts.

Was a bit boring to hear it so soon. Both Amanda and Alesha told Philip Green last night they didn't like his performance as much because it was similar to his audition and had therefore seen it before!!
Cue Gabz with the exact same song and she's applauded to the rafters. You're so right. Obvious and blatant:yawn: Quote:
^ It did remind me of Alicia Keys' "No one".

They should'nt be allowed to do the same performance. People want to see how versatile they are.

Four acts through to the final so far, and three of them are kids. Are there anymore kids acts to come ?
At the rate these kids are going through, the final is going to be like and end of term show. |

Yes - once in the audition and the final. Not many acts do the same performance twice in a row.
She told Ant 'n Dec she has at least 30 songs ![]() Lets hope the one she sings in the final is different to the lighter one

I'm personally not a fan, it's very samey in my opinion. But she seems like a nice girl and evidently has fans so good luck to her.

Pretty sure all the production work is done on her next song already guys. They probably went through those 30 songs with her and picked out the next one ready for the show. You don't know how this industry works. It's all very staged.
