Especially at the beginning of her song tonight. I was cringing.

She made the song her own IMO. I for one was glad to see some originality on the show for once. If it did sound out of tune it was because she didn't sing it in the way everyone else did (if that makes sense!)

I didn't think she was but she didn't sing it in the typical way and since we're so used to hearing songs EXACTLY how they were recorded , note for note on The X factor all the time that when someone tries something different we always label it "awful" or "out of tune".

Shes got a unique distinct style, obviously so much people think she was out of tune. She didnt copy the original like the others.

Ok, so I take it the answer to my first question is no....

But imo, there is a difference between singing a song differently with different notes and being flat on the notes you're attempting.

Sorry I disagree. You can make a song your own and hit different notes without being out of tune.

Yeah I know. I personally didn't think she was out of tune though but we all have different opinions on what we like hearing I suppose!

She wasn't out of tune but her version of this song was horrible imo. Left me totally cold I'm afraid. It just did nothing for me.

watch it again 7.10

Definitely wasn't out of tune. And she completely made it her own, unlike most of the other contestants. Parts of it i didnt like (im the same when leona sings it), but when it was on it was stunning imo.

Her voice along with with hannah is the most original ever in the xfactor.

I didn't really like her version of the song at all. I like her voice and think she has potential, but I think she tries too hard if you know what I mean.

I don't know whether I'd say Laura was out of tune, but there were definitely parts o her [erformance I enjoyed mroe than others. There was a positive originality to her performance but there are also cracks in her voice which I'm used to from my own performances. I'm not sure it was as amazing as the judges seemed to, but I do think she's one to watch and I prefer her vocie to a lot of the other girls' in the competition

She was off the first note, but sounded fine to me for the rest of it. A very raw talent, there aren't many in this competition who are better.

I didn't think there was anything distinctive about it but then again she wasn't out of tune.

She did however sound like a club/pub singer - the sort you get in working mens clubs up and down the country every Saturday night.

'Out of tune' isn't somethning that can be altered by opinions. Relative to the music, a vocal either is or is not in tune.
She was definitely out of tune in places. By that, I mean she couldnt hold some notes without going flat. Example- the line 'ever I laaaay with yoooouuuu' she was flat on the word 'lay halfway through.Making a song your own is one thing, but it doesn't work if the clash with the music is unpleasant to listen to.
She has pitch problems and inconsistencies that show when she holds notes.It sounds like the result of trying to push her voice too hard.She has an interesting voice and a cool tone, though, and I can see who so many people like her .

Fairly average singer who gets over praised and will be a complete flop in the live show once she has to take on a song which isn't in her comfort zone.
