not perfect by a long shot, but i see his potential standing out a mile above some of the other acts. his voice seems to be the main bone of contention - as i said before, he sounds kind of like the lead singer from Beautiful South, and i love his voice... but there are many who don't like that sound. so i have no idea if he'll win, but he should get recording contracts after this unless he really messes up bad. he's good enough to stay in and have time to improve.

i just dont like the sound of his voice. It is distinctive and hearing him on the radio you would know its Ashely instantly but it doesnt work for me

And as for Louis "I know nothing about music but what the heck" Walsh comparing Kerry to Karen Carpenter!

LMAO!
Anyway, I wasn't a fan of Ashley in bootcamp etc, but last night he completely blew me away;fantastic.

Well, he was out of tune in parts but I agree that he has potential and I'd like to see him stay longer.

he does seem to polarise viewpoints, doesn't he? that's good in a way, because it means people will talk about him and remember him, like him or loathe him.

He's got a very distinctive voice but will suffer if they keep giving him naff songs to sing.

Not on my sympathy vote she won't

I agree that I would rather watch Ashley than Kerry though.

yeh i agree. Although I dont personally like Ashley's voice, he would do much better than Kerry outside of the competition. Hes young, hes got a funky look and hes individual.

Kerry, bless her, is very bland and nothing special. She'd have her album off the back of Xactor which would go to number 1 and that would be it. It would be another Michelle McManus, Andy Abraham, Steve Brookstein

The kid looks cool. Great image.
But I have not been impressed by his voice from the beginning - however, there were some lovely low notes on his song tonight, and I can now see there is a voice there under all that image.

He could win it IMO.

I was no fan of ashley either in the bootcamps.
Last night he made me sit up and take notice i think.
He isnt my favourite but i do think there is a talent there,and he will probably grow on me even more before this is over.

Ashley has also sounded great, his voice is incredibly original.

I just didn't like his strop at bootcamp.

But I liked his song on final night.

He's one of my least favourite. His tone of voice reminds me of Kermit, he has no sparkle, no passion, no charm, no draw, no excitement to his performance, and was out of tune in several places.

He's been getting criticised quite harshly after last night but I love his voice. You don't expect him to have a voice like that, it sounds like the voice of someone older. It is distinctive and unusual but in a good way. Those people who hate his voice can't deny that he is individual and he has alot of charisma.
It wasn't perfect last night but I think it was better than some of the others who the judges raved about but I just couldn't understand why

Dull, dreary and bland.

There are some singers who can sing their hearts out without breaking sweat but Ashley sings in a lazy way. He thinks he has a guarenteed final night placing and isn't making much effort.

He seems a nice enough bloke, but I can't stand his voice. Sounds as if he's waiting to gob something up, and he was very out of key last night. Simon needs his lugholes testing. He said Ashley is better than he thinks he is, I'd suggest he's not as good (by half) as Simon thinks he is.

Wish I'd thought of that
