I think it's about time that this talanted lady gets an appreciation thread! Who's supporting her and who will be voting for her?

MARIA TO WIN THE X FACTOR!

I liked the sound of her version of Since You've Been Gone. She seems like a nice person too. Would like to see her do well out of the show!

I love Maria, I think she is my favourite act this year (after Alexandra but she didn't get through )

She has a big soulful voice, a sweet personality and easily has one of the best voices seen on a reality tv singing programme! She should do very well in the competition!

Yes, she has the potential to go to the end! Brenda and Chenai are also great!

I think she's got a tremendous voice and we haven't even heard her at her best yet. She's one of my faves. I don't have an actual favourite yet, but she should definitely be a finalist. Best of luck to her.

I'm glad she's through but to be honest i don't think her performance was anything to shout about. I've seen her sing much better in the earlier rounds. Brenda gave the best performance last night IMO. I hope Maria shows us what she can really do next week.

I agree! Maria's performance last night wasn't up to her usual standard! I think that it's got a lot to do with the song choice because she needs songs that she can belt out, which she can't do with "Emotions." I'm glad to see that the British Voting public can see her talent and vote for her. I think if she gets the right song choice, she could do something very very special!

Come on guys, show your support for Maria! This week she'll be singing "The Way You Make Me Feel" by Michael Jackson. She sounded good singing it on The Xtra Factor:24/7.

I think this is a good choice for Maria, she could do very well with it. I'll catch the repeat of 24/7 at 7:30 (if it's the same one as before?) and see how she sounds!

I thought she sounded good also, wasn't paying attention enough to properly listen, sorry! I think she can do better with it, maybe her performance on Saturday will bring the best out of her?

I like Maria too along with Brenda and Andy. Their voices are much better than the rest.
