which by the way is my favourite song ever (Mariah original, Il Divo and X Factor finalists all on my ipod)

But tonight - does anyone else think she sounded either robotic or that she was singing in a different language - so staccato?!

Her face amused me, it never changed one bit. She didn't even smile with her eyes, as Ty ty would say.

Yeah, I thought it was funny how she didn't seem to move at all.

I think she's great, but what was that random screeching going on during the song (not from her, was it a really really bad backing singer?)

I was kind of wondering how come she's supposed to be one of the world's greatest whatever

Both her spots were uniformly dull tonight. Was she actually 'there' at all?

Maybe she didn't try to move too much for fear of popping out of her dresses, particularly in the first song!

It was kinda weird; she didn't move and she added all these jumpy "o-o-o's". Plus what was up with the "you-e-you-e-you-e-you" at the end?

Frankly, she was mediocre and looked as if she couldn't hardly be bothered

She's not as good as she was. It's as simple as that. Also, she always seems like she's on valium or something these days.

I don't think it does that.

She has been lip syncing for so many years now she has possibly forgotten how to sing?

she can't sing like the way she used to 15 years ago!

Not only does she drink alot, but she has damaging vocal nodules that only get worse with age ; she's nearly 40 years old.

Its not botox

No-one will be saying that she is the world's greatest based on the performance tonight; her vocal peak will be preserved on CDs!

Give her a break, her voice has faced alot of "wear and tear"; touring, performing takes its toll.

I don't expect a soaring ballad every time from her similar to the music she did earlier in her career, but tonight was like she couldn't be bothered. Does she really loathe some of her old material- or is her divorce from Tommy Mottola going to be milked dry for another album, ala 'Emancipation'.

Whatever went on in their personal life really dented her professional, as soon as she was rid off him she started stripping and having guest rappers on her singles and became JLo.

Mariah was shockingly average tonight

She should have been in the bottom 2!

Honestly, even though it was generally a below par week all round, the contestants put her to shame IMHO. Alexandra sang her off the stage!!

So much for her and the x-factor finalists singing together - more like she sang the song and they came in at the end - for a line!

Yes it was pathetic. She probably insisted on this, knowing that at least half the contestants would have sung her under the table and shown her up!

I was looking forward to seeing/hearing Austin again but I couldn't even see him on stage! I mean I know he is little, but pass me the magnifying glass... What was going on It was very disappointing all round.

I think they should all have got their opportunity to sing the song.

YES! She was born in 1970! She's 39 next year! She looks great.

It's a bit unfair for people to expect her to have the voice that she did in her 20s!

Mariah was mainly known for her stoccato voice when she started out and having heard her sing live on another show years ago, its really how she sings, no matter what they dub together in the studio to please the masses.

Her head looked stuck on, her body didnt move, her neck looked as wide as a bodybuilders (hidden beneath her hair) and she generally didnt look human. Probably the surgery is telling

Ruth was vocally superior to Mariah tonight by a country mile IMO.
