Really impressed by her vocal ability she has both a great tone and range. Her X Factor journey could be a long one.

Love her! Favourite so far. She has a great image too. She looked very Rihanna-esque while her friend looked like Azealia Banks.

Me too. My favorite from tonight's show, I look forward to seeing her arena audition tomorrow.

Have a feeling this thread will be active for a long time.

One of my favourites too. I was impressed, don't get me wrong but when I heard people reference her as the 'British Rihanna' I thought she'd be someone who had style but lacked vocal ability but she proved me wrong tonight. Pleasantly surprised.

After tonight I think she is sailing through to the live shows. She is one of this years big characters.

I really liked her! Can see her being my favourite this year for sure

Love her, my favourite along Melanie.

She's gonna be my favourite this year, I can already tell.

She has potential, but...

She's got to find her own image. At the moment I, and probably many others, see her as a 'young Rihanna'.

We have the same favorites.

Tamera Foster "Clown" by Emeli Sande https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVgDOCBjzlg

She seems to be the most popular contestant that we've seen this weekend.

I hope they don't try to turn her into a Rihanna copycat though.

Me too. There is a lot of talk of her being the next Rihanna or next Leona Lewis but what she needs is to be the first Tamera Foster.

It really annoys me though how Louis says EVERY year to a girl that they'll be the "next Leona or Alexandra". Why can't they just be their own artist? I mean he said Ella would be the new Leona and they are nothing alike. Tamera will find her own image in time - I wouldn't say she's copying Rihanna though, she's just styled the same as so many girls around London. I can't believe she's 16 though. In the room auditions, she looked at least two years older than me and I'm 19!!

I thought she was 19/20. She looks way older than me and I'm 17!!!

I do agree though, I think it's very stupid of Louis to keep on labelling every girl who can sing very well as the next Leona or Alexandra.

I do however love Tamera and I hope she isn't put in a dress every week and made to sing a dreary ballad, I want to see her progress as a performer and take risks. I know she's more than capable of this...

I really like her I think she has the potential to be AMAZING I can't believe she is only 16

Really wish Louis would stop doing this. I am excited to see her grow as the competition goes on, I think we be seeing a lot of her this season.

Alexandra was accused of being copycat in the first few weeks, but then she came out with that performance of Candyman which surprised everyone.

She has a goof voice, but I don't notice a distinct quality in there yet.

Not keen on all the stories that have come out this week about her. Why can't the press leave well alone?

She is certainly my favourite this year despite all the negative publicity. This girl can go far with the potential she has.

I am surprised that "jerefprdterra" hasn't posted on here yet and even more surprised that this person didn't start Tamera's appreciation thread.
Come on over here "jerefprdterra" and join the party!!

You should refer this thread to him and the others who are fans of her.

Love this girl she is a superstar!!!

We will all be here for Tamera Tonight #superstar
