Laura - was she too big?
In the past few weeks Cowell has been saying that he didn't like Laura's "image" and that Cheryl should have been spending more time with her.
I couldn't help think that Simon was alluding to the fact that Laura is carrying a few pounds - but IMO that shouldn't matter - its a singing contest! If McManus can get to the final of Pop Idol (or whatever version of the show she was in) then whats it matter? Its not ike Laura couldn't drop a few stone once the show has finished after Xmas. I just hate the fact that despite people's talent some people still feel the need to bring size into things nowadays. ![]() PS: Daniel to win!!! |

Agreed. And I think that what people seem to forget is that Diana is probably a size 6/8 which is fine, and Laura is probably a 12, and so she would look bigger next to her. size 12 is by no means big when you consider the national average size of a woman is a size 16. I thought laura looked great!

They stuck Laura, a young curvy woman in the most unflattering dress on saturday, the style and material were both deeply unflattering to a naturally pretty young woman who may not adhere to the size '6' ideal but looked happy and healthy.

Laura is a similar size to me, she isn't fat she's curvy and I don't think that is what Simon was getting at...
I think it was because in the auditions she had an image she was quite Soon as she got on the live shows they put her in those dresses and they just weren't Laura..

No, she isn't too big at all.
But she had the wrong style. Looking @ the pics after she left the show, she looks much better and comfortable with what she is wearing. |

Yes she would have looked the part more if she was trimmer.
No teenager wants to identify with a baby elephant thundering around on stage in a tu-tu!

I just think it's that some people seem to be obessed with other people's weight, it makes me laugh really because the girl has talent and can sing, there was nothing wrong with the way she looks, or her weight, she is hot how she is, and none should have to change the way they look to please other people.

Well, perhaps they should try harder not to start threads on the subject.

Nah her weight seemed fine but she lacked an onstage persona if you know what I mean and I think that is what Simon was getting at with the whole "image" comments. The maternity dresses certainly weren't helping her.

Having the X Factor is all about image too. Sadly that dress Laura was wearing made her look pregnant!

I don't think her size was too much of an issue but her face was.
I know that sounds awful but it's all about image sadly. |

ppl connect the look to the song and if it's not a good look then it won't matter how good you are. and that's sad too in a way. But talking body weight in genral in showbiz. It is good to be fit as it demands a lot being on stage, touring etc. You need to be fit to deal with that. But it doens't mean you have to slim down. |

That is funny. The OP is complaining about people bringing size into everything and it is the OP that started the thread about Laura's size!

She isn't fat - but she was flabby and had bad posture.
She needed to wear dresses with sleeves to cover her upper arms, and learn how to standup straight without turning her toes in and how to use a microphone properly. No matter how good her sound (and it wasn't always good) the look needs to be right as well |

Actually Laura is about the same size as Ruth, but because Ruth's dresses are all so low cut, noone actually looks at her from the waist down!

The first week she looked really bad, that dress was sooo unflattering but the performance was so good, it didnt matter.
However, the pale lipstick annoyed me the most! It just doesnt suit her! |

But Ruth
stands up straight, wears clothes which hide her bad bits (and accentuate her good bits) and she can give a performance as well (and you can understand every word she sings even though English isn't her first language!) None of which Laura did very well |

I hadn't noticed Laura was chubby until this week.She should shoot her stylist and replace them with Gok.
