Do people not like Dionne?
Hi Everyone.
I just want to know if people do not like Dionne? I thought she was amazing, and I was seriously shocked that she was in the bottom two. What are peoples thoughts of her? I really hope she stays longer, I love listening to her sing. Although I hate comparing people to other people, She does KIND OF remind me of Mary J Blige. I really like Leona and Ben aswell. |

I thought she was excellent as well. She may have been a little nervous but she has a great voice and as her confidence grows she will get even better.
I agree on your top three of LEONNA, BEN AND DIONNE. |

I thought she was wicked and was easily one of the best that night.

She is not one of my favourites but I was surprised to see her in the bottom two on Saturday.

I thought her voice was just ok, and she was really graceless and awkward-looking when she moved - kind of like Tina Turner (at the risk of sounding like Louis who is forever comparing the contestants to other acts). Compared to Ashley, Ben and especially Eton Rd there was just nothing special about her.

I was shocked to see her placed in the bottom 2. I think she has a fantastic voice. Hopefully this will boost her into being more confident for next week.
She should make the top 5 at least. |

i like her voice loads - pretty professional i thought! hope to get to like her more as time goes on. i don't foresee that being a problem
the Tina Turner comparison IS apt, considering the staggered walk thing she was doing and the whole of the body posturing. now maybe she was 'doing a Tina', or maybe it came naturally - don't know. but she deserved to stay 1 zillion percent. |

One of the contestants who could actually sing in tune. |

I thought she was far better than expected on the live show but cannot like her more for it, theres a sort of arrogance about her that just seems to grate with me. Maybe her desperation to get to the live shows and the fact that I thought others deserved to get through more than her doesnt help.

Only heard her once and wasn't really impressed, but she wasn't the worst(which isn't saying much).

I enjoyed her performance and I wonder if her ungainly walk had something to do with the ramp they had to walk down. At one stage I thought one of the unconventials girls was going to fall as they came down it ( i think it was when they had to sing for survival).

I like what I've heard her sing so far. She's alright. Not brilliant, but just alright.
Time will tell. The only part about her that concerns me really if I'm honest is her nerves. She seemed to react badly and lacks in confidence. Like I said, time will tell and who knows, she may shine in time.

I Thought Dionne was one of the best last Saturday, as to her staggering walk similar to Tina Turners I thought she could have emphasised that a bit more, Tina is one of my all time greats, its about time we had someone like her! I also thought Leonna and Ben were excellent.
I dont like the songs that the mentors chose for the contestants, Mo-Town is notoriously hard to sing. |

I do not like Tina turner , and she she is a second rate tina, saying that! she can sing has an almighty voice, but I have always liked females singers less belty . its a matter of taste, like I wish leaona would stop yodelling, And Ray smiling during ben , its meant to be a sad song about a lonely kid who finds friends with a RAT! why was he smiling ,
ok end rant lol |

Dionne's one of my favourites. I was shocked to see her as one of the bottom 2 last weekend.

I think maybe it's not so much a question of people not liking Dionne and maybe more a question of them not liking her enough to vote for her....

she's got a voice but she's too intense, I didnt connect with her, and was bored. Her posturing was off putting and sorry to say it but she hasnt the staying power of Rowetta or Brenda, who managed to stay almost to the end of their respective shows.

She also seems to have the charisma of a brick
Personally I can't stand her she just seems to too 'well i know I am good and I will win' type of person. Ugh. |

Her family are great though. My cousin says it's because she does not have a likeable face.

Yes she has a fantastic voice, but there is just something I can't put my finger on?? I just don't like her ....... irrational maybe and I don't vote in these contests now so my vote doesn't count..... I don't know why I find her irritating. Maybe that's why she was in the bottom 2.. she doesnt have the likeabilty factor. I hope she grows on me and my opinion changes as she does have a great voice though. |

Dionne does have an excellent voice and in my opinion, did not deserve to be in the bottom 2. I think the worst acts were The Unconventionals, Ashley and the MacDonald Brothers based on last Saturday's performances.
Having said that, it needs to remembered that people are voting for their favourite and unless people are voting tactically, most people who liked Dionne are likely to have liked Leona more, therefore, I think Dionne is always destined to be in the bottom 2. I hope I'm wrong though. |
