Anyone agree with me that Tamara performance was way below her usual standard?

[Vanessa]

She's one of my favourites, but i hated that performance. Wrong song choice maybe? What are your thoughts?

[Niamh.]

I thought she was really good actually. The reason she was in the bottom 2 was a personal thing imo, because she was leagues better then quite a few of the others

The song wasn't disco and i thought it did not suit her at all.

[Cherie]

Like Hannah she is totally unlikeable. Wishing on a Star is from the disco era.

I was disappointed to be honest. I was expecting an up tempo song.

[Black Dagger]

I think she was actually quite forgettable this week, and that was her problem, she still shouldn't have been B2.

[Brother Leon]

She was hyped up too much by the judges. She's good, but the judges built her into some ready made superstar, which isn't the case. Of course when she fails to meet that standard she is in danger.

[Vanessa]

Wrong song choice i think. Nicole hasn't got a clue about that. She never gets it right. :bored:

[Vanessa]

I think she's not going to win. She doesn't have the public support. She may even not make the final. :shocked:

[GiRTh]

Of course the judges are hyping her. She's 16, she one of the more talented contestants, she's good looking with a good image, she has to make the final. Imagine if they had a final of Abi, Nicholas and Sam C. Simon would go mental.

[Kazanne]

I've never rated Tamera,yes she's pretty and has the 'package' but nothing different from loads of others,that Whitney song she did was an exact replica,so for me she is nothing special.

It was an exact replica but anyone who can do an exact replica of a Whitney song has a serious voice tbf

[GiRTh]

:joker:

And, she's 16. Its impressive for any one to do a replica of a Whitney song but a 16 year old gets extra points

[Marsh.]

Is this the Boots thief? Get rid. :laugh:

[Tom4784]

It was a good performance and it showed how much control she had over her voice and how strong it was without having to do vocal olympics to show it off.

Tamera's pretty much the only real contender, Hannah is strong but she has no chance, Abi is an annoying bint, Luke will be eliminated very soon since the faux 'rockers' rarely do well, Sam B will make it to the week before the final while Sam C will go in the next few weeks while Nicholas and Rough Copy have pretty much got their runner up spots set in stone.

[Samm]

Her singing a beyonce song is the best :love:

If anything I think hers and Hannah's B2 placings in the last two weeks show that neither of them have much chance at all, despite being the early favourites. I think now a final of Nicholas, Sam B and Luke is looking increasingly predictable.

She has got a good voice Niamh,no denying that ,but so have countless others.

I agree with this but I wouldn't rule out one of abi, sam c or rough copy taking the place of luke.

I want Luke in the final so bad! :dance:

Tell that to James Arthur.

Luke won't get close to the final, people tend to stop voting for the 'rockers' around the mid point since they rarely have strong fanbases. Nicholas will be in the top 3 but Sam won't as her and Nick will share similar fanbases.

A top 3 of Tamera, Rough Copy and Nicholas is all but assured.

Luke has proved he's versatile, so I think he can get to the final.

[King Gizzard]

I think it was one of her best and it just came down to people thinking she was definitely safe so they don't vote for her

I think the song wasn't disco.

[Sophiee]

I don't believe people would vote for a performance purely because it was disco so I don't think the reverse effect works either. it was very average and forgettable, I think her fanbase simply isn't as big as first thought.

[joeysteele]

Wishing on a star by Rose Royce is a really good song, the problem maybe was Tamera just did it as it was done by Rose Royce really.

Having said that, I thought her vocals were spot on and she did it really good,I was genuinely amazed to see her in the bottom 2.

[Benjamin]

I thought she was really good actually. The reason she was in the bottom 2 was a personal thing imo, because she was leagues better then quite a few of the others

See I like her voice, she can sing really well but her song choices are so dull and forgettable and not really anything new or different. She needs to stand out more.

She can sing so much better than that.

James was bottom two in week 7 (same week Olly and JLS were in the bottom two as well and ended up coming 2nd), which is a lot closer to the final than week 4. To land there this early in the live shows isn't a good sign. That's not to say if she ends up there again the judges won't keep on saving her until the final (I'd hope that would be the case), but I wouldn't rule out another bottom two placing before the judges vote is scrapped.

[Benjamin]

I honestly cannot see any female other than Sam B being in the final. Sadly Tamera and Hannah's cards are marked and it won't be long before they go.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Danyl was in the bottom 2 week 3, after topping both week 1 & week 2. He came fourth, but was very very close to coming 2nd in that vote. (Olly, Stacey just a percentage off), so he almost came 2nd really.

So Tamera can still get 2nd I think. (I don't think she will as Danyl was amazing, Tamera is not)

I think
1st - Sam Bailey (hopefully)
2nd - Nicholas
3rd - Rough Copy
4th - Tamera
5th - Luke
6th - Abi Alton
7th - Hannah
8th - Sam Callahan

Tbh Vanessa she's only done one performance that I've liked of hers all through the series and that was Beneath Your Beautiful, my main issue with Tamera is that she's a decent vocalist but not as exceptional as she's made out to be, and she sings songs in a robotic way and she never turns any of her songs into her own, they're carbon copies of the original version.

I agree and that's the reason why i think she may not reach the final.

[GiRTh]

But surely the judges will keep her in if she's in the sing off?

[Mystic Mock]

The judges can't do anything if Tamera came bottom of the votes at the final 4.

They might change the rules. LIke they did with Cher Lloyd.

If its three mediocre acts in the final it'll be a disaster for the show.

Chris Maloney reached the final and there was nothing anyone could do. Thank god he didn't win. :joker:

[Mystic Mock]

He came so close to beating Jahmene as well.

Unless she ups her song choices and stands out, she is mediocre.
