Did she forget to put a dress on ?
Ellie Goulding
Never heard of the woman before and made a cup of tea while she was attempting to sing.
Yet more C class celebs to fill the time slot.
You would think with the BBCs budget, they could find someone well known and capable of holding a note.

Already a thread on her, she looked lovely. One of our very top singers.

LOL we were saying the same thing! Whatever it was it looked like a lace slip over a pair of black knickers.
Heard worse singers, but that's probably not saying much.
Nowt against her personally but I've always thought she has a terribly weak voice to say how successful she is!!
Can't for the life of me find the attraction as a singer!!

That says more about how much knowledge you have of the current music scene than anything - Ellie has had three big selling albums, number 1 singles, arena tours and even done well in America.
Who do you want on the show who isn't 'C class' exactly, a Beatles reunion?

I'd hardly call Ellie Goulding a "class C " celebrity ! She had a top selling album back in 2010 and numerous best selling albums and singles since.
Ellie is a songwriter as well, which in my opinion gives her an edge over some of the "here today, gone tomorrow" warblers we see so often.
The test of time will prove that she is a C class. In another 10 years, I doubt anyone will remember who she was or be dancing to any of her songs.
It shows how far the music industry has fallen when non entities like her are considered good.
Sorry, but compared with yesteryear, this is not music and a Carol King she is not.
In my very humble opinion, "music" stopped being music after the 80s. Anywhere from Elizabethan ages to the 1980s was music. After that it was just white noise.

Her voice is different. She was okay on the results show. I like her. I have her first album, it's really good.

Ah, the old 'music of yesteryear was better' cliche! I'm not a particular admirer of Ellie Goulding but she is very successful, writes her own material and, according to my daughter who has seen her live, has a powerful voice which she uses when she feels like it. I love the music of the Seventies but I'd hate to be stuck in a time warp where anything modern is automatically bad.

I'm the same as you. Every decade produces gold and dross, whether it's film or music and it's so tedious to read of this "golden era of film / music" stuff. I love a lot of Seventies music too, but also music from decades earlier and later - and current! Music is music: it changes, it inspires: if it's good, it's good. I saw Lacuna Coil the other week, and loved them, and listened to T.Rex's early stuff the other day and that was great too.

She has always seemed to have had a pleasant voice when I have heard her. I don't tend to like the ones who belt it out like a pub singer - Adele?
I have mentioned before that female singers always to get a lot more moans about not being able to sing, miming or electronic correction being used but I have to think hard to name any male pop singers who can sing in tune. Most are terrible but it is tolerated or even described as having "character".

I would say that "Love Me Like You Do" has a fair chance of being remembered, it was a massive hit. But plenty of singers who weren't particularly great are still remembered, Lulu and Sandy Shaw for example. Though both had some catchy hits and have "nostalgia" appeal.
I think you know as well as I do that talent has little to do with fame in the music industry, some of the best have been long forgotten and vice versa. Ellie Goulding is never going to be one of the "greats" but she's hardly "C List" either.
