I've heard singers like Saara before - nothing special to write home about, I'm just being honest. I think she will do well in theatres. Quite frankly, the whole season has been terrible

With different choices by some of the judges, it could have been a decent year |

It was ok until judges houses then it all went wrong.
With different choices by some of the judges, it could have been a decent year OK I did like Relley C and Gifty but I have heard singers better than them. 5am are OK but there were so many R+B boybands in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s who will wipe them clean - even JLS were better vocally |

I loved Saara's first song, but didn't think much of the second 'chandelier' one really.

I preferred her audition to this version. It sounded better to me with how basic it was, just her singing along to the track and not trying too hard.

It sounded ok after the initial stumble, but the original has so much soul in it, you can really imagine Sia trying to stifle her problems by drinking the night away. I can't really picture Saara doing the same.

Still miles better than the other 3.
I think the producers were trying to sabotage her with that ridiculous dress, which obviously restricted her movement and made her nervous. If she is able to move freely I think she would have performed it much better with no inhibitions. Still very good though. |

No. it really wasn't. However, this is. And this is stunning.
Edit - And Kevin Simm's The Voice performance was far better |

She's the best left in tge competition, so far ahead of everyone else, that it's not even funny. That's why people praise her so much. Shes not competing against Leona Lewis, etc, so no point in comparing these two.

She sounded like an amateur opera singer trying to sing pop and the judges reaction was nauseating.

Are you joking. That Kevin doesn't come even close to Saara. I think Saara's version was even much better than Sia's own versions. Let's face it. Saara's Chandelier beats all of your videos by a mile. It was just sensational.

I'm not familiar with the song but I do remember thinking 'wow' and getting goosebumps when Kevin did it on The Voice. I didn't get a reaction anything like that when Saara performed last night.

ITV should just retire this show now that they have The Voice. |

Last weeks winner takes it all was superior to both performances last night. Having said that, she is still the best singer in the competition, has a phenomenal voice and deserves to win amongst those currently in the competition. I disagree with anyone who says she's amateur. |

Edit: I think Saara sang that beautifully though. What a voice she's got. I think Saara's nervousness caused her to lose a high pitch because she ended it sooner than she should have, and the look on her face told you this. It doesn't matter anyway though. She sang it great. Well done Saara, that was great! |

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. |

I don't see any point in comparing Saara to Sia as the latter is not in this competition. For me Saara is the best singer /performer in what has been (imo) a pretty poor year. I haven't voted in XF for years but if Saara makes it to the final, I will vote for her.

I think Sia has the more appealing voice. Saara is a little better technically I think because she approaches the notes with a bit more caution so as to not rip her vocal chords up. But personally I do prefer Sia's voice on that song. I think Saara would suit something like Evanescence music (though I find them a little bit over the top), at least their more piano based stuff.

She is better when she is just singing without all the weird costumes and dancers around her. Her sing-off performances were her best. I hope she wins as she is the best singer - but I am sure Matt will win, unfortunately. |

Hmm, since you have appointed yourself as the forum morality officer I look forward to all negative posts being judged.
