Did Our Cher Win You Over?

[Patrick]

I'm speaking on behalf of Cher fans, Did adorable Cher win you all over tonight? :love:

[Shaun]

only for tonight :p if she goes back to the crapping, nothing will have changed :bored:

[Zippy]

For the first time I think she's a contender. Not a hot fave yet but she is gaining credibility over past two weeks.

[Tom]

Kind of but she was overhyped by Simon which made me want to hate her again

[Patrick]

only for tonight :p if she goes back to the crapping, nothing will have changed :bored:

I hope she stays like tonight for a few weeks, then go back to rapping AND singing [like a mix] but stay on the singing side for the majority of the show and she could win :love:

[Ninastar]

I quite liked her before but I loved her tonight

[Stacey.]

Always loved her :D

[bbfan1991]

I hope she stays like tonight for a few weeks, then go back to rapping AND singing [like a mix] but stay on the singing side for the majority of the show and she could win :love:

This because although rapping or that kind of isn't some peoples cup of tea but there is some who like it or the certain aspects;).

[M X]

Always loved her, but tonight made me love her even more.

[Novo]

She should just stick to singing, She is not a strong Rapper at all, but after tonight she has proved she has an incredible voice

[Smithy]

I liked her performance tonight, but I think if she goes back to rapping imma dislike her again :/

[Mr XcX]

Best of the night.

[Chels]

nah, cos i still know she's still a mess and a chav.

[Novo]

I have to admit I really liked her tonight, maybe she should stick to singing? I thought Rebecca was best of the night though

[Kerry]

[Chels]

She's just a dirty chav mess, saying that I'm jealous of her is like saying Blackpool will win the Premiership :S

Get drinking that Milk

[Lewis.]

She's been floating at around 3/4ish on my ratings but after tonight she's at the top now. I just hope that she can stay there.

[Kerry]

Novo - :sleep:

[Legend killer]

NO

[Jords]

One of my favourites at auditions, started to dislike her and found her repetative but she was incredible tonight, had that spark again.

Carries on like that she'll have my support, goes back nawh.

[Z]

Absolutely! She nailed it :D

[GiRTh]

Much better. She should ditch the rapping cuz she's sh*t at it

[Z]

Agreed, although I do think if she hadn't done that up until tonight then maybe the performance wouldn't have been so epic. Maybe it's been a ploy from Cheryl, Cher and Simon all along, who knows? She definitely played to her strengths tonight though, good on her.

She definitely played to her strengths tonight though, good on her.Steady on Zee, I'd hardly call it epic. She didnt attempt some of the very high notes.

She proved she has a good voice but it was one good performance out of all of them. I'd like to see her attempt a few more songs like that though.

[snookered]

She sings one song averagely for the first time and fights to hold back the tears?

That's a no :nono:

[joeysteele]

Hmm, I have to admit I liked her performance tonight,I know I'll likely get a rebuke for that from jedward fever when he is rightly back but fairs fair, she did the song well.She is not in danger this week.

[Patrick]

I hope she does some faster like up-tempo songs but not rap?

That's a no :nono:

It's a song personal to her life.

[Stevep]

it was a good performance but i think some people are going a lil over the top. I think the song she sang is what is getting her all the hype, its a great song which people are bound to love. Dont get me wrong the performance was good, but personally i think the song choice is why shes getting a load of hype over tonights performance.

Thought last weeks performance was better...

[Twilight]

No.

[ElProximo]

It becomes an expectations game.
in fact, she has been singing from the beginning. not worse than this and a few times slightly better.
Then she annoyed the hell out of everyone with the rapping shouting thing so you could say 'wow look she can rap too!'.
Then she returned to the 'evening gown solo' (which we predicted) for the quite emotional song.
Which makes everyone say 'wow! see she is a lady and a real singer!'.

But seriously - despite best efforts that is not good singing. Great song choice but not great singing.
Sorry.
Play her segment. Then play Rebecca. wow.. what a difference!

*then again Rebecca hasn't proved she can rap and 'dance' like a tard so there you go.

[_Seth]

No.

[bbfan1991]

Well according to one of the mags 2 of her family members passed away so she is bound to obviously feel a bit emotional:(.

absolutely, Rebecca is in a different class altogether

Steady on Zee, I'd hardly call it epic. She didnt attempt some of the very high notes.

I don't mean the actual performance, I mean the surprise of the performance when I say epic. I'd never have expected her to be capable of that.

[Iceman]

Yes, it was the best of the night IMO, didn't see it coming at all, great way to close the show.

[fruit_cake]

I liked it a lot, but it's the song thats great, not cher IMO.. although she did it well.

[Kaaarenn!]

I liked her when she sang 'Stay' but when she raps in all her songs, it does get annoying so I'm glad she didn't rap in 'Stay' :) It was a really good performance from her :)

[Livia]

The fact that Cher's performance on Saturday was one of the best speaks more about how bad the others were, and less about how good she actually was.

[Lee.]

No she didn't win me over at all.. Still think she's ****e, they just turned up the backing track a bit. Even I would win you all over if I had production like that behind me!! (and that's saying something)

[GiRTh]

No she didn't win me over at all.. Still think she's ****e, they just turned up the backing track a bit. Even I would win you all over if I had production like that behind me!! (and that's saying something)Loads of people are saying she had thousands of pounds worth of effects on her voice as well as a loud backing track. The show is becoming a farce.

She has to have backing as she CANNOT sing. I think she will do well on the pop scene as she will appeal to the young uns and lets face it, you don't have to be a great singer nowadays to be a succesful popstar.

However, the XF is a SINGING competintion, therefore, in my opinion Cher does not deserve to be there.

Doesn't help that she, herself is highly unlikeable!

[Stephanie]

sounded out of tune to me, was alright. awfully hyped up though.

[leahleaahleaah]

i did really like her performance, however a few weeks back the judges said during John's tape that he would need to hold it together during the emotional song he did, and that he'd need to bring just the right emotion to it, but when Cher got upset during the song there wasn't a single word said about it :)

[King Gizzard]

No, still awful

[Ninastar]

No, still awful
katie and cher will win you over somehow.

[King Gizzard]

Katie, Cher and One Direction are awful, they will never win me over

[stewart64]

Cher was my favourite, but unfortunately I can't seem to get Novo's picture of Katie in that fur hat doing her lippy out of my mind. So Katie FTW and Cher second.

[AJ.]

Kind of but she was overhyped by Simon which made me want to hate her again

Me too. She seemed OK for once, not half as good as the judges & audience made out though.

It seems like most people on here judge who they want to win by who they wanna sleep with,, :/ Wasn't this once upon a time a singing contest?

[nanaimo]

simple answer to your question, NO!

[Tom4784]

The haters are gonna hate her no matter what, she could end hunger in third world countries and people would complain she didn't do it fast enough.

She's not one of my favourites but I can't fault that performance, she performed to the best of her vocal abilities and she worked the staging of it very well. She's got the confidence and stage presence that can't be taught really. She's a bit hit & miss ussually but I reckon it'll be her or Rebecca that wins now.

I wouldn't buy her album though.

Do you not think its a joke though that they travel the country & search through millions & still cant find someone that can hold a note lol? Haters aren't always gonna hate, the fact is she can't sing very well so why should anyone praise her? IF she comes out next week & sings perfectly 80% of the "haters" would be won over, simple as/ :hugesmile:

She's not the best singer no, but good singers are ten a penny. You could be the best signer in the world but that would count for naught without star quality. Let's be honest, not many artists in the pop world are brilliant singers but they get by because they have their niche's and styles. Cher's voice is only average but it's her stage presence and niche that's got her through.

I believe in giving credit where credit is due regardless of if I dislike a contestant. I don't want her to win mind, she'll be sorted win or lose so she doesn't need it.

Yeah your right actually, thinking about it I like many artists that don't even try to sing in tune, thats not what makes an artist imo. BUT for me she has no presence atall :/ all I see is a whiney little brat that can't sing & is just copying other peoples stuff... badly. It should be about showing off your own talents by either writing your own stuff or making a cover song your own, not just singing it word for word exactly how the last person sung it, epecially when you sing it worse. I wanna see something original.

The way I see it is that all the contestants sing covers so you can't single her out for it and plus they don't really have much of a choice in what or how they sing it so I think it's unfair to say that any of the contestants copy other artists because it's all down to the higher ups who tell them what to sing...or rap.

I would like to see a round though where they all have to do an original song though, it would be good as you'd get a glimpse of what kind of artists they'd all be, although it would be a heavy workload to do all that in one week. Maybe do what they do in American Idol? On the finals the contestants pick out a song from the Winner's songs that weren't chosen (Unlike ours they're always original songs submitted by the public) and then task them with that as nobody would have sung it before so they'd have to make the songs work for them.

[Beastie]

I liked Cher last weekend and the other weekends too! It is great she did something different bar rapping. She's interesting.
