I think she needed to take a Valium before going on stage each week.
Do you think Lola would have benefited with waiting til next years' XFactor??

No...she did 1, maybe 2, songs that appealed to the public before the Live shows and suddenly she was the best thing going! !!! Needed more control over her nerves, also her personality was at times non existent as she was often crying constantly! !!
She might be the surprise one out of the bunch this year, by releasing an single/album..
and having ot go platinum. ..like Ellas!!!!

I think Paul vocally was good enough last year to go straight in.
This year he has slimmed down and looks great and maybe there were one or two issues he needed to improve or sort. For me he is very strong this year.
I think Lola has tremendous potential, sometimes she nails it and sounds wonderful but a lot of the time she gets it wrong.
I think she did need a year to work hard.
I wonder if she is concentrating properly at times or if her technique is good enough, someone working with her could see an amazing return and consistent strong performances, they should have taken Kerrianne and given Lola a year to develop.

No. Lola was always destined to be an also-ran. Her voice was just too weak and shrieky. Nerves can't excuse her dire vocal performances the past two weeks.
It was her lack of character rather than lack of confidence that did it for me. Good singers are 10 a penny. You need something extra to make it big and she hasn't got it

Apparently Lola applied for XF when she was 16. I didn't know that. There is more to her than meets the eye, just found out a lot more about her from the local news. She does have a lot going for her. The XF was purely to boost her confidence. I don't think we have heard the last of her.
I just think she has something about her. Not to be written off yet then.
An attractive girl with more than singing to her bow.
I said from the start that if they put her through with her voice so obviously unwell, needing rehab and rest to undo damage she'd done trying to force a "bigger" voice than is natural, she'd fall apart within 3 shows. Her tone is lovely, and there is definitely something there worth developing(but it needs to be saved/stabilized first).

Can't remember Lola out of tune, (unlike some), however, I do think she got a raw deal on song choices. It doesn't matter now anyway. Her objective appears to be something more than a project for a record producer in today's pop charts delighting people who know nothing about music anyway.
Good luck to her.

she was way out of tune in almost every performance , her sing-off at the weekend was the first time I thought she had even came close to staying in control

Your opinion.
Doesn't bode well for the two females left. Fleur and Lauren. One was worse and the other about the same.
Never mind, they will entertain the masses with their swagger.

I've criticised both for their vocals , and lauren has been my pick to win
some people are capable of being objective when listening to acts and not just overlooking obvious flaws ...
Out of tune is not a matter of opinion.
Where the damage didn't show, Lola's voice is lovely, but she forced it a lot and was out of tune often. She was often flat, most noticeably when she sang "Crazy". I have active perfect pitch(ability to hear when a note is off to the point that guitarists have tuned their instruments by having my hit the note vocally when they needed to tune and had no tuner) and I heard her out of tune more often than most of the others.Iam betting in her case it is vocal fatigue/strain and can be fixed. I think she sounds great when she isn't sounding like the equivalent of watching a talented dancer trying to perform with a sprained ankle, but she definitely needs to work on her pitch and believing in "her" voice more instead of trying too hard to sound like a different "bigger"
type of voice when she doesn't need to do that to make an impression.

Maybe.. I certainly don't think she deserved to go just yet, another couple should have gone before her

I think there are others who could have left instead just as fairly this week. In any case, i hope she comes back strong in a year or so,and gets many gigs. She is so pretty and likable , and you can tell she really loves to sing. I think what bothered me was the desperation in her tone when she forced it. She seems to really not understand that the kind of prettiness her tone has when she isn't belting is something a lot of people would really enjoy a full set of listening to.

This stage presence is a load of bull
She does have it
She just didn't have "it"....she was lucky to be the wildcard and should be overjoyed she was granted a place on the live shows.
