What was so good about Sara?
She sang it good, but it just ended up being another generic X Factor "big moment" ballad. It took away what made Sara unique.The judges are so out of touch
These kinds of big ballad singers rarely ever do well in the real music world. I would have liked something different |

I thought she was outstanding. She can sing, dance and perform all at once.

I like Saara but she will never make a pop star More suited to The West end and musicals.

Good: Great vocals on both songs tonight.
Bad: Second performance was very cheesy. Also, it was very theatrical. It was like she was auditioning for West End, not to be a recording artist. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with West End, but that's not what the show is supposed to be a search for. |

Saara's the best vocalist out of what's left in the competition I think, however I would say that she's slightly overrated on here because she can actually do a basic level of singing and performing.

I would have preferred Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Saara is pretty good, but I have no idea about what her preference is musically. She seems like a performing monkey to me. She has managed everything that has been asked of her.
She is a competent vocalist. She's the sort who might be employed by Strictly, to cover songs competently in a given style, but her own personality/stamp is not required. A voice for hire. |

They used to be called session singers and they are some of the best around.

She's just overrated by people on here really. Reminds me of the entire boards collective hard-on for Melanie McGabe actually.

Nothing
She murdered one of the most iconic ABBA songs and her second diamonds mash up was a complete mess. |

That's it exactly - a session singer is exactly what I see Saara as.

Personally, why I like her so much (and why I'm now totally invested in XF having not watched for years) is that she totally gives everything to the performance each week. There's no sense of her holding back and there's such emotion when she sings I'm in total love.
I know some don't like the theatrical style but I personally think she is incredible- Possibly the best XF artist for a long time |

what's so good about Saara
1) she's Finish (always a positive)
2) she's got 5 a's in her name 3) she's my favourite for being the first in the phone directory. Double a surname, how many people could beat that? |

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with West End, but that's not what the show is supposed to be a search for. She's also going all out for the LGBT vote -which might be hers anyway because she's gay - but quite a few gay men adore musical theatre. Far and away, Saara is the best singer and best performer, because she's a SEASONED PROFESSIONAL competing against amateurs. Next year, the XF will be invaded by second string West End performers if Saara wins. |
