Abi is quite good and she plays piano and guitar too. Some people may think her glasses make her look geeky but I think they make her look a little cute.
Abi is the best of the girls

Agreed, but even with a limited vocal range there are singers out there who can sing in a variety of styles..
I think, a lot of today's contestants think that vocal acrobatics and fireworks are what it's all about and in the end that's what you get..
But, if the songs, whatever the genre being explored, are carefully chosen, it's perfectly possible for a person with a limited vocal range to sing almost any style..
Apart from ABBA,.
I hope they never do another ABBA night, as it usually amounts to the sort of horrors you're likely to hear on any karaoke night, or by any group of people who think they're an ABBA "tribute," act, when what it actually amounts to, with very few exceptions is utter sacrilege worthy of eternal damnation...
Rich.

Would rather have Melanie instead of Abi. I like singers with ability not creative quirks. Just IMO.
She is boring, plain, has no charisma, and a weak squeeky voice. Don't understand how she got through.

If you look at her image from a few months ago on FB & YT, her image has been changed completely. I don't think it was her decision but the producers wanted her to "play" the character. It's also why her vocal comes across so poorly, her natural singing voice is much stronger than the put on voice.

If X factor was a "who can sell the most albums" competition then maybe, but it's not.
How many winners have been outsold by the runners up? Almost all of them”

It's a "who have the producers decided should win this year, and how will they manipulate the public into voting the "right" way" competition .
The last time the producers messed up was Cardle beating 1D. Cardle had been blacklisted since. Not even allowed on the XF anniversary video although Union J were. Only Syco acts & major artists like Gaga are allowed on that show.

You're better off not winning. The winner's song is usually dreadful, middle of the road crap and the first single you release determines how you will be seen for years afterwards. Matt Cardle's was Collide, a truly dreadful song with that excrutiating lyric "when we collide we come together". Poor sod never really had a chance after that.
You'll be able to tell how the producers feel about this year's acts by the songs they're given and the arrangements. Once you're in a niche it's very hard to get out.
Abi has the sweetest voice out of everyone. I thought she stood a great chance of winning the competition from the first time i heard her.

You both need to stop being cheapskates and buy better speakers. You cannot hear the sweetness in her voice with crappy TV speakers.
