So

Favourite performance
Least favourite performance
Her moment

For me favourite performance is either how will I kmow, happy or the first sing off one. It's hard to decide but I'll go with the sing off one.

Least favourite was smile but vocally was excellent.

Moment again was sing off unfortunately not enough to get her into top two of votes the week after

That was actually her own small concert at some bar for her fans, I am not sure, but I think this is what she was planning to do. But she did say she has a great manager, so I think she will go far with a few vocal improvements and learning how to perform properly.

I watch this show for the vocals, I don't care about performances that much, so having said that...
Favourite performance: I know where I've been (1st sing-off), followed closely by Smile
Least favourite performance: Clarity (if she wasn't sick that day she would probably nail it)
Her moment: I know where I've been (1st sing-off)

Fleur was so close to taking Lauren's place in the first sing off and Lauren was 1 judge vote away from getting into the finals... :/

Without spoiling anything, the final 2 based on vocals shouldn't have been in the top 5, but I am happy about the winner in this case.

My fav was actually Beneath your Beautiful at judges houses. I only started watching at judges houses and wasn't really keen on anyone from the other categories, but as soon as I heard that sung I knew that this was the singing discovery of the year. It's just such a good vocal tone that you can listen to over and over again and still like it.

It was clear she can sing well before the judges houses, but she became my top favourite only after that performance (my 4th favourite of hers).

Also when people are talking about who will be successful after the show and I say Lauren. They reply no lauren wont be successful. no chance too many better singers than her in the market.

When i explain why i think she will be the next reply is like (not in so many words but it is) nope can we stop talking about Lauren. This is a pointless conversation she wont be successful.

I hope she really proves them wrong and if in the next couple of years she gets a successful album to number 1 then i shall be the one laughing. I hope i remember her haters as well in case they suddenly go "i always liked her"

I don't know if she will be successful or not yet, but I think she has the potential. She looks good, she can definitely sing (people should judge her by her 3 best vocal performances on the live shows and not by those she messed up the most - Clarity and 2nd half of Let it go were her for me her worst performances vocally).
I would love to hear some of her performances now that she is doing random gigs like the rest of the contestants, so I would know if she has made any improvements already. She has to improve her vocals a bit so she can hit those high notes without any problems every time and do something about the stage presence (it never bothered me when she just stood there, I only wanted to hear her vocals).
I have a feeling Only the young, Ben and Fleur will be successful (I didn't and still don't care about any of them because there were better singers than them this year), I am not sure about Andrea, Stereo kicks and the others yet, we will see.

I think she will get signed though.

There are a couple of random gig videos up but they're quite badly recorded on phones with lots of audience shouting (https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1006330862716656). I'm going to the tour in March so will see how good everyone is then.

Bad audio, but I liked it. Her live show version of Don't you worry child grew on me after I listened to it for the 3rd time. I would love to hear her sing I'll be there flawlessly without any issues with high notes or a note perfect version of Clarity

I think Clarity is underrated as well as Stay another day but id agree the former is one of her weaker performances

At least Stay another day sounded nice to me, but I felt like the song choice was a little bit safe for the semi finals. Her being sick ruined Clarity, it would be nice if she sang it again when she is at 100% as a comparison, I think she could handle those high notes.

I agree with you entirely here.

I dont know how many songs she gets at the tour but i heard its 4 excluding the group performance.

If so id say Happy, How Will I Know, I know where i've been and Beneath your beautiful is the songs id sing. Perhaps the latter a duet with Andrea.

I'd like to hear It must have been love, which was done at Judges Houses (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVHJln8d5rk). I can only find a small clip of it; I'm assuming the full thing exists somewhere but was never shown on Xtra Factor. A full version live would be great.
