Did the hype ruin Alice F's chances?

I was no fan of her. I thought she was an Amy Winehouse-wannabee and The Voice were right to reject her.

But did all the negative hype scupper her chances of picking up the votes?

It seemed like she was trying to do damage-limitation in her VT, but it didn't really ring true.

She DID seem like two different people on TV and BGT - I think that's what people were put off by - the public aren't fools!

Its too bad if she really is genuine, but even then, she is average at best!!

Probably, as it does with a lot of people that enter these shows. Shame really, but i guess you know what to expect when you decide to enter. Very few people have long lasting success.

But, last night, on the night, her performance probably was the best. Admittedly there were some, (all?), pretty poor acts. Once or twice, in fact, even Walliams appeared to have more protential, that's a measure of how bad most of them were.

Exactly. There have been very few acts of any quality so far, and the whole show can only improve. Mind you i'm not holding my breath.

There have been no acts as yet, that have made me say, wow.
They have ranged between dire, to ok, with a few pretty good ones, but nothing really impressive.

Let's hope it improves.

I am not really sure why there is even a show like "Britain got Talent".

There a few Variety shows that will ever showcase anyone talents. I know they get a slot at the Royal Variety, but that is really it.

Back in the day, the talents shows gave us Victoria Wood, Lenny Henry, Les Dennis and a lot of other acts as well. But we had a lot of Variety shows on the tv ie Sunday Night at the Palalium and I also vaguely remember one that was shown on a Sat nite, it was like a end of pier show.

There is really nothing for the majority of these performers unless of course they happen to be singers and they can perform on "The X Factor".

If that young comedian won what else could he appear in after the Royal Variety show!!

I'm not surprised she didn't get through. No woman her of her age group has ever reached the final on their own.

Her mistake was going ahead with the BGT audition after doing the Voice and getting rejected.

Had she left it for a year, she could have put a more positive spin on it..... e.g. "I was rejected and I was shattered - but I've gone and got some vocal coaching and worked on dealing with my nerves so I'm back for another go!"

Her other problem was that the edit shown on the Voice intro didn't make any mention of stage fright. waiting to sing she appeared relaxed and confident, and did her little shimmies while singing - no sign of nerves - and when talking to the coaches after her audition there was none of the tears and shakes. Having seen that, and then the BGT audition where she was suddenly this shrinking violet, she was asking for unfavourable comparisons. Given the producers love of sob stories, I'm sure if stage fright was an issue for Alice, the VT would have mentioned it, they didn't so I must admit I don't think it was mentioned!

That said - I detest Jazz, and don't like her choice of music, so I was never going to be a fan - but her performance last night was underwhelming, and all the skirt gripping and tears were just a bit OTT - the composure of the youngsters really showed her up last night.

If stage fright and nerves are an issue for you - don't enter nationwide talent shows!

Most definitely.
I never knew about her audition for The Voice until I read somewhere they had rejected her. I then saw her on BGT and thought she had a great voice but was somewhat over acting the 'wallflower'.. Still, nerves and all that...

I then saw her on The Voice and couldn't believe it was the same Girl

Shallow as it sounds, but I decided she was putting all the shy business on and that's what it looks like a good few others think. Shame as she's not exactly done anybody any harm.

Do you know Alice? Of course you dont, so how do you know what kind of person she is without meeting or speaking to her. Some people on here are unbelieveable.

Seeing her COMPLETELY different on The Voice damaged her credibility, but she could have got over it if she hadn't appeared so fake last night. Whether her nerves and shyness were genuine or not, none of us know, but they certainly appeared like amateur dramatics.

I think the fact she just wasn't any good, very mediocre singer given a bad song and sung like a pissed bridesmaid at a wedding she was never going to get through, no matter how much Simon Cowell bangs on about Liquid Platinum :P

All 4 judges liked her, so are you saying that they dont know what they are doing?

Its all a big con.
I bet she is back as the wild card.
Cowell would love nothing more than to get one up on the Voice.
Think of the publicity the show will get.
When will the gullable viewers who waste their money on phone calls giving millionaires more money realise........
ITS ALL STAGE MANAGED?

No! Ruining a classic standard and daring to think she was as good as the greats who have done it before, ruined her chances.

And yet four judges on the voice did not really like her!!!

I didn't know there was that much hype, i don't keep up to date with all that stuff. I think she ruined her chances herself with her performance last night, seriously she looked drunk.

This is what I was thinking. I watched a bit of her performance and thought it was poor. I assumed the reason she was too upset (or whatever) to appear before the results is because she knew she'd messed it up.

She didn't get through on The Voice because there's something missing when she sings; it's too performancy and doesn't connect with genuine emotion.

They would not allow any contestant to perform on there if they were drunk as it would ruin the reputation of the show.

The point is, we don't know her personally. We have to judge her based on how she comes across on TV. Unfortunately, she came across as two completely different people on The Voice and BGT, so viewers were understandably confused. Then to top it all, her performance last night was woeful! She seemed drunk, slurring her way through the song, forgetting words, then disappearing afterwards. It was just bizarre!

Her performance last night was'nt the best admitted, but she showed enough with her first audition to suggest she could have a decent future.

I didn't think she was very good last night at all. Not only forgetting words but slurring others and out of tune a lot too.

I liked Alice, it's too bad people vote in droves for child acts regardless of how good they are. In my opinion.

Agree with you there. It would be better if they had an under 16s version of the show seperate from the current show.
