Fleur can sing, she doesn't need power vocals, like the people I just mentioned having a powerful voice seems to be irrelevant.
Give Fleur time, she'll improve. If you're gonna compare her to Rihanna, well she already dances better than her so she's halfway there
(I'm a huge Rihanna fan by the way so not trying to disrespect her).”

I'm pretty sure Kelly is more than happy with a career that lets her travel the world with her music, earn and sell millions, win Grammys, perform for the Pope and at the inaugaration of the American President. Anywho, considering the thread was about performances by contestants on reality tv competitions, I compared Fleur's performance to another performance by a contestant on a reality TV show as evidence to why, in my opinion, it is far from the greatest performance like Cowell suggested. Had Britney, Rihanna, Madonna or Katy Perry come from a reality TV show, I may have used them as comparisons, but they didn't, so I didn't.
I agree that all-round performers don't need the best vocals. But even as an all-round performer, I don't find her that amazing.
I'd say they are on a par dance-wise.
I don't think she will improve. Her voice isn't going to get any better and, like I say, I think she'll be swallowed up in the real world.
