On an evening when the standard of the acts was very poor I thought that Melissa gave the best performance by quite a long way.

I adored her. A real breath of fresh air among all the females who think shouting is the only way to sing and she was so likeable too. I'm hoping she'll go far.

Yes, it was nice to see someone that didn't try to over sing.

I really liked her personality and loved she had a normal regular job. Her singing? It was definitely flawed and overhyped a bit imo but I'm sure she'll get better.

She was brilliant! I really like her and her family are just the cutest

Yes, just genuinely nice people all round, and I hope she makes good progress.

echoing you

I don't know what to quite make of her yet as some parts were good, and other parts could be very Sam Bailey so I'll wait and see with Melissa.

On a talent level I thought that Christian won the night for me personally.

Melissa and Samantha were the only two I rate so far. From a performance side, the closed eyes and Mariah Carey hands might get a bit annoying, but I love the tone of her voice.

One of a number of good singers last night

I am hoping she does well tomorrow. Enjoyed her first couple of auditions.
