She is terrible, I'd actually rate Janet and Diana over her, it's such a bad decision by the producers!!
That squeeky voiced Abi is crap isn't she?

Her success in the show so far just perplexes me. Loved Janet, loved Lucy, really can't hear what Abi has going for her at all.

She seems to have gone down really well with the live audiences. I don't find her similar to Janet or Lucy. I like her better TBH.

Think it's more to do with being different, wearing flowers in hair, and playing the piano. Mary J called her a one-trick pony, and think she's right, as she comes over that way. The Lives should be interesting
I like her, and I absolutely loathed Diana and to a lesser extent, Janet. Neither had any song writing ability either and neither were any good at musical instruments.

I agree. They always put someone like her in to make the show more varied. To be honest there are too many shouty females in. They should pick different voices but the niche singers in the overs didnt get through though.

I'm glad it's not just me
Her voice isn't weak, she has been very good at hitting the notes and staying in key and she's able to sustain a long note too. She hasn't really showed any range or much power yet but that's not to say she can't, I have a feeling there's more to her voice than we've seen because what she has done so far has been very competent. She's done what she's been called upon to do.

She's primarily a decent musician but that doesn't mean she's a good singer and she will probably be found out quickly.
She is the only real musician in the contest.
And I hate that they get them to sing songs out of their comfort zone. It's like asking Pavarotti to start doing rap. Stick to your own genre.

Janet plays guitar and writes all her own songs.

I've seen nothing to suggest she'll be found out, her singing so far has been good. I don't rate her songwriting at all either so it's not like I just think everything she does is great, just actually on the evidence we've been shown she can sing very well
For me, she is arguably the most talented singer left. I don't think everyone will get her though and because of this will struggle to get the votes. There are a lot of similarities with Diana and Janet.

I've watched a few of her videos on Youtube and it seems to be all slow piano ballads and they mostly sound identical.....she'll not get far unless she shows some versatility.

Overs rules generally are Whitney Houston numbers power ballads or songs about breaks ups etc.
Males are generally dad rock Bon jovi type numbers.
After 25 on X factor you are old and would not know anything current it seems

Actually she is doing well, she has just been signed and has just finished a UK/Ireland too and has got excellent reviews. Does that sound like someone that isn't doing well, (I don't think so(lol) ). Ps: I went to see her on tour on Saturday and she is amazing live. Ps: I don't like Abi , she is boring.
