Admittedly her first performance last night was not as good as her second (in the sing-off), but for me it was her perfomance of 'Jolene' that made me a big fan of hers. I've said it before (and will probably say it again!) - I don't think even the great Dolly herself has ever sung that with such expressiveness.
And I now listen very carefully to Tara's phrasing in her songs, and she seems to bring something different to them.
I haven't watched the live feed, but from the clips I see of her on the main programme there's nothing about her to dislike and a lot to like - though she's obviously nutty as a fruitcake and would be hell to live with.
Sometimes it's impossible to actually put into words why you like someone/something, and other people will never understand why you just
do. It's a bit like people's sense of humour - my dad and I have been in stitches at something whilst my mum has sat there without even smiling.
