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.

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.

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.
