Imo, she is nothing more than a pub singer and the whole 'wooo I'm so wacky' act has been done a million times before.

She's another belter but Sam B is far superior so I think she's toast.

He wasn't my cup of tea but surely Joseph would have been a better choice for Sharon as he's different to her other 2 picks, would get the female vote and have a chance of staying for a good few weeks.

Not really sure what Sharon was thinking with Shelley

Maybe she was meant to be the 'joke' act this year.

Definitely Zoe or Joseph would've been way better. I don't understand how she thought Shelley would get votes.

Shelley is like a blonde Sammi Brookes

Zoe would have been a better choice - more of a contrast to Lorna and Sam. Sharon turfed Katie off a chair because she was a 'belter' and Sharon felt she needed some variety, so gave the seat to Zoe.

Then in her final selection she picks three belters

Sharon made her choices based on who could sing the best. Maybe this was naive and she should have chosen Joseph just because he's better looking and may attract a few more votes on that basis. However, isn't that exactly the sort if thing we've complained about for years? This is a singing contest and Sharon chose her contestants on the basis of their voices. We can't condemn her for that.

Yes I think she did but I wouldn't exchange her for Joseph though

It's supposed to be about finding a star and Shelley, with the best will in the world, has as much star quality as a cabbage.

It appears everyone apart from Sharon can see she's nothing more than a pub singer.

As I said, Joseph isn't to my taste but I think he can sell records, which is something Shelley will never do.

if not Joseph then either of the other 2 girls she sent home offered something a bit better than Shelley

She has gone through as Sharon's sacrificial act.

I'm not sure grannies are that keen on wacky belters though. I would imagine they're far more likely to go for sweet looking sixteen year olds.

I'm with you on this. I didn't think Joseph's voice was that great, but now I think Sharon should have put him through as she would have had a diverse trio of singers as opposed to having all females that more or less have the same style of singing voice, although I think Sam is the strongest singer of the 3.

I'd've preferred Joseph..but not for vocal reasons..

If Shelley is a "pub singer," then she's an awful lot better than many a pub singer I've heard..

For me, last night, she was note perfect and strong vocally.
Firstly, that's all I ask, there was plenty of pitching issues with a number of performers last night, not least, Lorna, who was all over the shop.

But, let's face it, Sharon O has never chosen a winner in any of her previous attempts..and yet, she's been touted as a would be "saviour," of the show..

I think all of the judges made bad choices..particularly Louis..

I think Andrea would have been the best choice:

Some of us have been saying Sharon messed up for a while now so this is old news to me.

Joseph had a very ordinary voice and he tried to make up for it with a toned body, edgy tattoos and a slightly worrying reliance on using his little son for sympathy.

I agree that Shelley lacks the image to be a star but Joseph lacked the talent.

I sill think Joseph would have picked up more votes than Shelley though. I actually preferred Joseph's voice over Shelley's voice.

Unfortunately, these days, as Louis Walsh's choices more than demonstrate, talent has very little to do with it..image is all...though, granted Nicholas could be the token bit of real talent in Louis' camp.

I agree. Shelley was always going to be fodder this year

Hard to argue with that but I think they ran out of time and credible options

But look what we got because of that

It opened the door for the likes of Jedward, Wagner and Diva Fever
