They'll have her details.

I liked her style of performing, but the doll thing is a bit too attention seeking for me.

I watched a bit of The Xtra Factor and the singer from Liberty X reckoned that had she just auditioned as herself, she wouldn't have made anywhere as big an impression as she has done by dressing up like a doll.

It's almost like a very clever PR stunt.

Judging by her youtube videos, she always dresses like a doll. Unfortunately she was more Baby Jane than Barbie. Liked her voice though.

Completely utter bonkers but can also sing.

My type of act.

Close enough.

It's by Pat Benatar who as far as I'm aware is a one hit wonder in the UK.

Here's the original version of Love Is A Battlefield

Thank you

I skipped the second half of her audition, because her "singing" and her attempts to be "unique" didn't hold my interest.

Just another one of the shows novelty acts to make some headlines. All so predictable.

She has written hits for other acts - not really a big deal.

I just asked a Danish friend and he has never heard of her.

Yeah, she hasn't had a number 1, she wrote a song for someone else and it went platinum.

Her own single didn't get anywhere.

She is nutter then a fruit cake, but I really liked her, and boy can she sing.

The backing track version of love is a battlefield was awesome. Does anyone know if that is her own production or a cover?

I wish she'd stop being silly in her performance at times because I think she's a good singer with very good stage presence. I think she's going to wreck her chances of going very far in this competition if she doesn't drop the silly doll performance. I was very disappointed that she didn't perform properly all the way through. I think there's a good singer and really charismatic performer behind the 'I'm a doll' silliness. I just wish she'd sing and perform properly all the way through her act.

It seems that the "doll performance" IS how she presents herself, at least in public. It's an extreme version of singers who use alter egos to perform. I don't think she can sing as herself.

She walked on and i though 'oh no , not another talentless attention seeker' but when she started to sing , i liked it.

Love her version of 'love is a battlefield'

The below is how she should have performed in front of the judges. Minus the studio sound effects, obviously. She didn't behave as silly in the video below as she did in front of the judges.

She was obviously scouted to appear on the show by producers in the same way that 4th Power from last year were...
