How did Alisha get so far...?

[*mazedsalv**]

Im sure that she was very good during the audition and bootcamp, but when it came to the first show she was quite bad, and ended up in the bottom 2, and survived. Then she ended up in the bottom 2 another 3 times. Im not sure why the public and/or the judges kept her in all the time.

I think the public felt for Sharon as just 5 weeks into it, she only has 1 act left.

I thought she was very sweet though.

Because they had to keep Sharon on they show. Alisha was shite.

[rayheartbliss]

same here... but her valerie performance i thougt was good though...

i think the girls were just not good that year.

Some peoples' voices just don't work in such big studio's, they don't bounce off the walls and around the place well. Alisha was good but was more suited to enclosed spaces like during the audition processes.

I loved Alisha, she was the only one of them who was relevant to the pop music industry nowadays. Rihanna hasn't got a stunning voice exactly, but look how many hits she's had.

[Christina]

I loved her but i dont think Sharon gave her the right choice of songs x

I didnt really like alisha when she was on the show but i liked her on the tour and thought she was good

[Spike]

I really liked her and she has got to be one of the most underrated contestants ever
When she was in the bottom 2 that first week I was shocked because I thought she was one of the best of that night

[xDramatick]

IMO, she was good, and deserved to get where she did.

I think she deserved to go first night out of her and Kim, however I do also feel she deserved to be in the bottom 2. First night performance = awful.

Second night, she was decent and didn't deserve to be in the bottom. From then on, she was really good and I think she deserved to stay a few more weeks.

Just because she doesn't belt out ballad after ballad doesn't mean she isn't good.

I think after a crap performance in week 1 her confidence did slip, then she got through twice then she got the sympathy vote for a few weeks (where she was actually quite good) then she got kicked out on another crap performance.

She was in the bottom week one cos she was ****, and deserved to go. Week Two, wasn't good either and she was bottom but she had to be saved cos they couldnt let Sharon have one act left in the third week. Week Three and she was great and imo, improved drastically, she upped her game that week and i think people voted on the performance aswell as sympathy. I was shocked when she got through the next week, cos I thought she'd be going home, but she put in another good performance and stayed. The week she went was the right time for her to go, but based on the performances, Hope should definitely have gone.

So yeh, she stayed so long because she was talented, and the only contestant who really improved imo.

[Wildcat!]

I thought Aleesha was good! specially when shedid put your records on!

But the public just didnt like her. People like Leon put in numerous bad performances and got away with it. Aleesha had to be amazing every week just to survive the bottom 2. She had no chance. I am actually expecting the same thing to happen to Rachel cause she got that tough exterior. Xfactor voters dont vote on talent, they vote strictly on likeability

I think she would of been better if she was given the right songs by Sharon. I actually supported her for Wekks 2-4 because I felt bad for her and Sharon.

[XxShortyxX]

I remember her, she can sing, but I think there were stronger singers there then her.
