She's got a great voice but that audition was 'I know I've made it, I can't be arsed'. It was distinctly meh.

I know everyone loves a pretty face, but should an artist really be defined by their looks, or by the talent?

A matter of opinion, and I disagree.

She has the best voice of the overs, but I have to agree with the above posters who said her performance tonight was meh.
She oversang in places, and the song suits a "pretty" liquid note producing voice, not a bluesy toned voice like hers. Lorna outdid her tonight.

Regardless, the fact is...the above quoted comment is ugly .

or my favourite;
"bubbly personality"
I absolutely hate the word 'bubbly'. It is almost always a euphemism for 'loud and irritating'

Sam has a much better voice than Shelley. Size and age shouldn't come into it. I think it was a mistake to put Shelley through - she really is a pub singer.

I would agree with you. I was looking forward to her performance tonight and found it a bit underwhelming. All three of the overs that were put through sounded shouty to my ears, including Sam. But I've liked her three previoius appearances

LOL, I groaned when the music started - if you don't like people doing this song, whatever you do, don't watch X Factor USA, I must have heard it a million times over the last couple of weeks :yawn:

But it always will - that's the superficial nature of the industry.

A fat 65 year old with an incredible voice is almost certainly likely to sell less records than a 'fit' 18 year old lad/girl who has a mediocre voice but can be moulded into a certain image. I'm not saying it's right - but that's how it is.

Sadly, Shelly doesn't have the voice or the look; she's quite good fun - but so is my Auntie Joan - and she's got as much chance of winning The XFactor as Shelly - and she's not even in it

Sam has the voice - but again - IMHO she hasn't got a hope in hell of winning the show. Wrong demographic and not young/pretty enough.

She's better than Tesco Mary and Shelly but not by a long way and last night's offering was kinda average.

She'll be around for 4-6 weeks on the lives I reckon but that's only because of the weak competition this year.

Although the girl who's mother had been murdered on USA X Factor and sang I Will Always Love You brought me to tears (and I HATE that song).http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4_vFAZgL4E
