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.

I'm not going to bash anyone who doesn't like Saara (I'm never going to like Emily) and I know that she has a somewhat narrow appeal (she's formal / crossover / theatre instead of pop), but I think she's really talented

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.

Shes fabulous! Superb vocals, first song..superb. second song, a bit cheesy...however, still better than the others in the competition.

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.

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.

Your difficulty is that you don't appreciate good singing

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

Saara is eclectic and she could rock any sort of music, especially her own.

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

A malleable voice without any real personality or uniqueness.

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.

I love singers with unique vocals on these singing shows, sadly they never appeal to the masses though and they all get voted off the show (if they even make the lives in the first place) so I think in the end that alot of people are like myself and are just going for someone that can at least hold a note and can perform to a basic level, something which imo the other four are lacking in most performances.

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

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?

Auditioning for the West End is exactly what she's doing and where she hopes she's going, too. She has done musical theatre before in Europe and obviously wanted to show off her dancing and singing skills.

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.
