Saara's Chandelier was nothing special
She sounded like an amateur opera singer trying to sing pop and the judges reaction was nauseating.

It was decent. Her very apparent nervousness and her comments on being overwhelmed afterwards are what made the performance to me.
As the song ended, I wasn't that moved, but after the interview I really was. |

So, it wasn't quite as perfect as I was expecting if I'm totally honest - you could feel a hint of nerves. Still streets ahead of anything else on the show this evening though, no contest.

An amateur opera singer would have sounded a lot worse
Saara is very formal and theatrical, but she's not popera I didn't think it was great, but I'm blaming the arrangement for that (yeah, I don't think she's very original or current or even interesting sometimes, but for an "X Factor is just TV" person like me she's still better than everyone else) |

Is that the song that Kevin did in his Voice audition? I prefer his version TBH.
Saara is a good singer but it's all a bit theatrical and Eurovision for my taste |

dont forget to add 'in your opinion'
![]() on any talent show or cover that is the best i have ever heard the song, better than Kevin on the voice IMO.. even with her obvious nervousness. |

I don't rate Saara that highly as some people on here. Come on folks, we know there are a few female singers who came on this show in the last 12 years can outshine Saara - she isn't THAT great

I think people are missing the point that Chandelier was probably not one of her outstanding performances on the show, perhaps because it didn't entirely suit her. If she was supposed to have peaked on XF tonight then you could rightly start saying she was nothing special but it was perfectly decent nonetheless.

She can only beat what's put in front of her. There's not much point comparing her to a Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke or Sam Bailey or whatever as she's not competing in the same year as them.

She's phenomenal. Technically, the best singer on the show by miles.

No-one on the X-Factor is 'original', to be fair, so it seems odd to use that as a criticism of one, when it applies to them all. Personally, I think Saara has the best voice in the competition by a mile, and has shown some versatility (as much as can be shown on a TV show which is basically a karaoke competition).

Powerhouse? I actually like strong female powerful singers (I'm a fan of Leona and Alexandra) - I just don't think she is that great IMO
