I thought Ben (who,now?) won, not her.
Yes you're correct, what she says is correct, only the winner is guaranteed a contract. She was fortunate enough to be signed too, not everyone who takes part in the show is, that is the point she is making.

That's funny it's actually not - a average voice is 2 octaves, below average would be 1.5, Fleur has over 3, as told to me by Joshua Alamu her vocal coach....which I would probably listen to him more than a DS poster

Here is her highest note live so far c#6
https://youtu.be/FSN2sUzGe7Y

She can sing, she has a wide range NOW and she stays in tune through her live performances and having heard her live she can sing, you might not like her voice but to say she is average without the actual knowledge to back it up - just no

Here's further proof she can sing well

https://youtu.be/H4v1OTkO5mU

And if you go to her old YouTube you can quite clearly hear she's actually a good singer
I don't understand people who say she can't sing when she quite clearly can!
To me it was clear on the show that the she can sing. I think she actually has a nice voice as well. I thought she did that Michael Jackson track really well and she had a rasp that really brought a new quality to the song.

I hate people just coming right out and saying that someone can't sing, it's nasty after all and completely bullish. It's not some sort of gladatorial arena after all. I don't think I could stand the sight or sound of some of the people that hide behind their keyboards on here. Let's face it, it won't be the best of society that go out of their way to be nasty.

However, I don't see the value in arguing about it. It's subjective. Yeah, it's nasty and rude to slag anyone off and it shouldn't be done, but there's no point in arguing with those sorts of people. I'd just rest assured that the people who relish saying that someone is terrible are 90% gonna be talentless and a wreck to look at. It's people's insecurities manifesting and those insecurities likely come from a reality that they would never be considered for these sorts of shows.

I'm not arguing babe I'm just giving knowledge and backup to actually say she can sing talent is subjective to whether you like someone's voice or not but you cant really argue with knowledge based on someone who's job measures people's vocal chord talents so I would basically listen to him more so

It's brilliant to see Fleur getting more attention on here than this years dismal finalist. Shows what a god artist she is.

You don't need to react like this. I didn't make the post to take the piss. I take the piss out the Sax thing but that's no offense to Fleur it's just how much they overpromoted Sax. They're doing the same with Little Mix at the moment. Sax just has a certain quality to it that makes it more funny but it's not an offensive thing. I think Fleur is talented and seems really nice.

My comment was only light hearted. I wasn't having a pop at you.

Who really care what she thinks.
Not me.

She's about 3 weeks out of date and is only stating the obvious..

The Evening Standard obviously thinks otherwise.
