Rachel is doing a Niki
Last year Niki started off brilliantly and if she carried on could have won. Then she lost the plot a bit in the middle whilst trying to experiment and it cost her a lot of fans, and eventually her place in the show. It seemed as though they expected her fans just to stick.
Rachel had a really good start in the auditions, she had quite a few fans before the live shows and her odds were quite healthy too. But she seems to be on self destruct mode and if she doesn't do well on Saturday she is going to spectacularly crash out of the competition. They seem to be also expecting her fans to stick. I'm not comparing the two styles, I just think there are similarities in their situations. |

Niki's first couple of performances in the live shows were far superior to Rachel's though. I think her 'All That Jazz' performance marked the start of her decline.
In contrast, it feels like Rachel hasn't really shown up yet. |

most people started to dislike Niki for her attitude rather than her performances, she had a right 'know it all' attitude to the judges comments, she'd stand there like she was Mariah Carey and she didnt need to be told she was good...and then they kept repeating her sob story as well (not entirely her fault i admit) which again didnt look good for the audience.

rachel has a better voice than niki and rachel has way too much more to give, the word potential comes to my mind.

Actually, I think the main thing that did Niki in was her tuning.

Her problem is that she sounds good when singing on her own, but with music and a setup she just doesn't fit.

They both have a unique style to there voice. But imo Niki had potential, maybe even doing a brenda. IMO, Rachel has had two poor performences since being on the live shows.She needs to come out next week with a song in her comfort zone.As i think it might be the only chance of her progressing further |

if you call rachels performances poor than you must be watchin a different show. im not being funny right but her vocals are beyond good. they might not have been the best song choices but she has got star written all over her. she has a stage prescene and her talent is raw.

I don't think we've seen a truly great performance from her since the first audition. |

I agree. It's just not working at all.

I think she can still go far and possibly be in the final but she has to up her game considerably. |

Rachel is clearly in her comfort zone doing things like Amy Winehouse. Alisha managed to be saved last year by doing Valerie (OK partly down to the 'everyone hates me' sob story as well) but looking back that was one pretty good performance (HERE). Unless its already reserved for Laura, I think that song has to be for Rachel.

Thats right. I really hated her personality. Her voice also got kind of weak near the end of the competition, couldn't really hit half of the high notes. |

She does remind me of Rachel in many ways. Both have good voices, but their attitudes are what making people dislike them. Similarly, Rachel wont win in the same way Niki wasnt ever going to win because of that. XF is as much a personality programme as it is singing - you have to draw the viewers to you and Rachel and Niki dont/didnt. |

Rachel needs to do a decent performance before she can do a Niki.

Rachel has been awful!
Niki was ok during the auditions but nailed the first live show performance, rapidly installing her as favourite. There's no way Rachel will make the final 4 like Niki did. No chance. |
