Ivy Grace Paredes got the X Factor???.
I've heard a lot of people touting Ivy Grace Paredes so I've watched a few of her You Tube offerings this morning and here are my thoughts for what they are worth!
Great voice - absolutely, got the X factor most definitely not!! More of a BGT act than XF. She is the epitomy of why this show is struggling, XF keep finding fabulous singers with little creativity or chart appeal in other words lacking the X factor. Surely this year they have got to find a current artist someone who is relevant not just a great singer but a great performer too, an artist capable of great chart success over a prolonged period not just the obligatory X factor single! |

When has the show ever been looking for current artists? Never in my view. |

I agree to a certain extent and that's one of the things i think has to change for the show to regain some credibility. Maybe I'll change my mind when i see her audition tonight but for now at least I cant see the audience connecting with her and i think putting her through to the lives would be a big mistake. I am quite interested to see this Peyton dude who i believe already has quite a big career in dance music!

Agree totally and I've made no secret of it but I'm rooting for Relley C 100% this year she really deserves this for so many reasons!

Maybe she will surprise us.If she does, I will gladly praise her. She has voice to do that. I am not expecting it , though.When it comes to this style of music,give me someone like Gifty at her best ,Analisa, or RelleyC over her any day. All can sing as well, are as vocally gifted, but have the connection ,artistry, or both to go with it. |

Agree, the other thing is I for one am sick of the one trick big ballad singers on XF! Week after week on the live shows it becomes mundane and boring! Lets have a few more up tempo performances this year! I'm not 100% sure Sharon will pick her though as traditionally foreign singers don't tend to fair to well and as Ivy's command of English doesn't seem great i think she'll struggle to connect with the audience and Sharon will know this.

Thought she was going to be better than she was, but knew they would put her through.

I am clearly tone deaf because i thought that audition by Ivy was awful! Shouting, timing off and just not that good, But the judges thought she was amazing????? I just thought it was uncomfortable viewing and listening!

There's no control in her vocal, it's like watching Louisa Johnson all over again where someone is battling a song rather than naturally singing a song.
Of that type of singer Anelisa is the much better act imo and I would understand if she makes the lives more than Ivy Paredes so far who's just a typical Diva act that Simon loves. |

Agree 100% Anelisa was so much better, made for much more comfortable listening!
She'll never be my favourite because I don't really like the Diva acts very much, but she would do alot better not going for the cliched song choices as it's a bit dull nowadays. |

She is from the country who adore big belter... in the philippines only belters are the real singers... so maybe that is why she is trying to be a diva to fit in her country's taste of music... but I think once she get a good voice coach she gonna sound even better... like 4th Impact they don't sound trying to be a diva anymore.

In terms of powerhouse vocalists of that sort of style of music, I preferred the Filipino lady from last year, Neneth.
Ivy Grace wasn't very controlled IMO and her timing was off |

I don't know if Ivy's audition was a case of this, but my assessment hasn't changed. She is an almost exceptional singer who shows no fire or creativity or originality in her choices, and while I cannot fault her voice, I much prefer others with equally good voices. |

Was she the one doing the Whitney ballad? If so I was totally underwhelmed - Yes, she could sing, but that song was far far far too big for her, and I was shocked that nobody seemed to pick up on that. I know that singing live is different to hearing a record, but even so?!
