I was reminded about her first, and only, performance the other day and it really wasn't bad enough for her to be voted out with.
Do you think she should have stayed longer and would it be a different competition now if she had?

I dont think she would've got to the final 4; however she certainly should've beat Emily, Alisha, Daniel, Andy, Futureproof and Hope oh and Beverley and Niki... so top 5

yeah, she was one of the best singers, i think she couldve got to the final

Totally!

It was so unfair her first outfit & song she was given.

She might not still be in now, but definitely could have gone further.

It was unfortunate that she had to be the first act on and could have done without the choreography but I doubt that Simon had much time for her.

Girl was totally robbed. She should have been allowed to return when "Lady" (the contradiction of the year) Shivers or whatever it was got the boot.. err left the show.

I liked Kimberley but she was very annoying i think she shouldnt of stayed i think shes got a contract anyway shes supposingly announcing something after the x factor I believe Alisha was the more talented although Kimberleys voice was very good.

Do you mean stay indoors and not go to the auditions?

hmmm....not really, I thought she was one of the weakest comtestants and didn't really mind that she left. If she wasn't voted off that first week she would've been voted off quite soon afterwards.

I can't find her performance on youtube has anyone got it?

Kimberley was a great singer. Her vocals were one of the best and that is her doing a fast routine and fast song which are both hard to get good vocals on. If she would have belted out a ballad, she could have outsung Niki. However, most of the voters are young girls who would have hated the way Kimberley acted.

I thought her its raining men was really good, I dont think her and Alisha where the worst of the night there where others who really should have been in the bottom two, it was a bit of a dissapointing start.

I'd have liked her to stay in and do some country or country/rock.

I think she had potential and was better than Hope, Alisha and Andy - a shame she was voted out so early.

IMO, if Kimberley hadnt been stitched up the way she had, she would have either: a. still be in there nowor b, just left. The girl had a fantastic voice, and was probably the least deserving person to be eliminated this year

I think people were turned off her with her attitude to be honest. I never got to see much of her and that was a shame.

I thought Emily was only mediocre at best, and shouldn't have been in the final girls; but hey they always like to have cannon fodder(but wouldn't it be so much more interesting with 12 great competing acts? much more thrilling)

Whoever is voted off first is usually seen as having more potential, but its the way the show works somebody has to go first, and I agree it shouldnt have been Kimberly but wouldn't we have this thread whoever it had been?

Not if it had been Emily (or Hope, th would be cheers)

Loved her voice in the auditions but she fell victim to some appalling production ideas and song choice. Not sure if Sharon even chose the song or not but who ever did really didn't understand her at all.
I felt sorry for her from the first bar of her performance, she deserved much better treatment than that.

I really liked Kimberley, I too thought she was truly stitched up , she had a great voice and never got to show it off IMO. I wonder if she will be on the final show, they usually bring all the contestants back don't they?

I always feel sorry for the contestant voted off first as we never get chance to see their true potential. All that way to fall at the first hurdle.

Good point, she should definitely be asked back for the final.

Last year they had all 12 doing a song together

They won't be able to bring back Happy Slappy though will they!

They will just leave it at 11, unless anyone else gets embroiled in a scandal.
