She knows she's safe every week the judges have praised her and she hasn't had any criticism thus far.

Olly Murs got criticism for celebrating when his name was called out. Radio and newspapers were all over it he even had to apologize.

Then I think you are noticing one set of accusations and not the other.
Every year it happens and it's pretty much split down the middle in terms of gender. Last year there were threads and comments about Nicholas 'getting cocky' or complaining that he was excited for getting through to the final two and not showing due commiserations to Luke. Olly Murrs got it a loads in his year as did Matt Cardle in his.
My take on it is that it's nothing to do with gender, and everything to do with contestants who are perceived as 'threats' to other people's favourites. Lauren is widely considered a frontrunner. So if you don't like Lauren, or you just don't get why she's popular, and if your favourite appears to be struggling to get the support in comparison, then it's easy to disapprove and maybe even resent her celebration of being called safe. It's gauche, or it's disrespectful, whatever. Same goes for Nicholas, same goes for Olly and Matt. They were all up there competing for the top spots and it pisses people off.
XF lives and dies on us getting emotionally invested in our favourites, on becoming passionate in support or outraged at injustices. It's tabloid tittle-tattle, and it's tribal. It's why The Voice struggles so much, because it's too worthy to go for the cheap emotive stunts (or if they try, they're just not very good at it) and too short for us to 'gone on a journey' with the contestants. And having an emotionally charged audience leads to emotive outbursts, either positive or negative. These sorts of accusations are just one of the results. I don't believe it's gendered, just that sometimes the language is.

She doesn't know she is safe every week at all, none is.
I think I might have accidentally stumbled upon Laurens boyfriends twitter.

You're in denial. She's making it blatantly obvious.

No, I'm not. Just because I dont agree with you, grow up.
Can't remember if I have commented on this one already...
No she isn't that great. Her voice is good. But she is a bit 'cardboard' for me.

Have to agree with these comments. Sums up Lauren in a nutshell.
I've been watching quite a bit of The Voice US online with Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams as coaches and the young girls in that 15,16 or 17 year olds, absolutely blow Lauren out of the water, both in vocal ability, stage presence and charisma.
Its unfair of me to compare her with these girls but when I watch them in the week including a 15 year old who is astonishingly good and then at the weekend I see Cowell raving and calling her brilliant I just shake my head.
She's undoubtedly in the top pool of contestants this year but I haven't been wowed by her yet, perhaps it will come

While she can certainly perform well enough and sing live, her strength is definitely going to be the beauty of her tone as a recording artist.

She is old enough to know that she still needs votes from the public
