I'm thinking I might just watch the first 55 minutes in future and miss the contrived sob story endings.

Awww talking to her kids now..

"No Leona/Whitney"? I really don't care. She's not even singing in her first language.
She was good

She was good, but that's it - good. I'd probably even say average.

Amanda, the botox is leaking from your face, better get that sorted or you might look natural!

I didn't think she was anything special? I think she's just that, a club singer... Nothing particularly phenomenal? Or is it just me?

English (along with Filipino) is the official language of the Phillipines.

There were loads of singers like her turned down in the early stages of The X Factor.

No, I suppose she wasn't really, she jus had that sob story to back up her otherwise average performance

Because she chose to sing in that language. It can't be particularly difficult for her to sing in english or she would've chosen another song in her first language.

I agree, I loathe it when they do this. Weepy sad music over sob story introduction, fake out from one of the judges but they get though, and weepy but triumphant music over a slo-mo shot of them looking tearful and hopeful!

It’s so ridiculously clichéd, it drives me mad when they do it all the time on the X-factor as well.

She wasn't that good.

Really nice story and seemed a lovely person but I thought she was a really average singer personally.
