How the hell did she get through???

I mean she has a good voice but surely not good enough to get through to the finals. Also she is not good looking either, so I wonder why....

oh what and that pathetic fourteen year old boy that came back twice in the auditions was good enough!! they put through some VERY poor people this year i thought. and kim's very pretty actually! dnt judge when u see soemone on telly!!!!

Surely he didn't get through???

Kim defo good enough for boot camp but a bit of a surprise she got thru to live shows

She is kinda a bubbly type of girl you'd see singing in a pub, so i guess they want the public to identify with her. There are big comparisons with Hayley Evetts.

I shopuld add to what i said earlier that I do respect Kimberly for not pushing her family tragedy in teh way some people do.

Personally, I thought her voice was very good, and I'm pleased she's made it to the live shows. But really, we've heard very very little of anyone.

hi all, look out for kim on boot camp tonight!!!

I still don't know who she is... But i will watch boot camp tonight and try and spot her. The link didn't work for me.

I quite liked her audition too...........She needs to change her makup and hair though, she had a look of Vanessa Feltz. I hope she does well.

wooo go kim told ya she was through!!!!

fantastic, she will go far.
Under all that presure she showed she has what it takes .

X factor............yes

she gets my vote.. i also like leon
the were two other girls in kimberley's group
i think one was scottish, and did the girl who sang 'ben' make it too?

I am also continuing to love Kimberley, fantastic bubbly personality. I don't think they should stereotype her as loud and annoying cos she's not. I also thought the other talented ones were Leon and Stephanie.

they always have to have someone thats simon's enemy tho, same as that rid is hated by sharon!!! i think its all pantomime tho, however simon cant deny shes got a great voice!

as found by one of the previous posters, kim's "sob story" is in the news of the world today. just wanted to say am really really glad she has got so far on her own merit b4 this came to the public's attention, unlike some contestants who we heard their stories b4 they even sung!!

She's quite good seems a bit too loud but they've probably edited her quite a bit. I think it's a given she's in the finals anyway cos there aint a lot of good people left she's one of the better ones. Though from what I've been watching that seems to mean their going home.

l like her. She has a good voice, and seems just like a normal girl. I worry for her because Simon doesn.t like her, he didn't like Dione last year, and he made her life a misery on the live shows.

I don't think she's that good.
But then, not are some of the others they put through.

Well, I think she's lovely.

I also like Emily (not because of sob story) Andy, Stephanie and a couple of others and hope they go through to the finals.

I think she's a great singer , with someting very appealing.

i think kim did great last night & even tho shes a lil bit silly u saw how much she wanted to get through she had tears in her eyes. simon cowell is being mean!!!

I like her. At first, I found her annoying but I've warmed to her and she has a fantastic voice. There's something likeable about her. Stephanie is my favourite girl but Kimberly is a close second.

Oh, no no nooooo ....those are my two clear favourites too...with the thms vote of support I'm clearly doomed

At this early stage I'd like to declare myself a Kimberley fan already...I really like her personality and when she sings she's transformed...a bit like Kelly Pickler on last year's AI (only hopefully better ). Plus it's about time we Midlanders had someone to get behind

i'm told i only back scots. i bet she is part scottish

Hi Ansildrall,

there's no chance of a fall out like last year.. over leona..

Kimberley is my early favourite. Can't promise I won't shift at some point but there's something about her I really like. And she seems to have a great voice that I could imagine listening to. A bit Joss Stone-esque in places.

It's a little bit of a lie to claim she's just a barmaid though seeing as she's Italia Conti trained with an agent. Still like her though.
