I hate Rebecca's voice. To me that is not singing, it's putting ridiculous strain on your voice as well as a silly American accent to try and sound like an older woman with soul. She's from Liverpool - she doesn't have soul. I hate the fact that so many contestants feel the need to put this American accent into their singing - it sounds ****ing stupid.

Not many would agree with you there!

They have both gave the show exactly what the guys in your username gave last year - publicity.

For good or for bad Cher has been the star of the show so far this year, and Katie has divided public opinion just like Jedward did.

Most people are idiots, you're right.

because they don't have the same taste as you?..................ohhhhhhhhh k then:rolleyes:

She had to......had she left her out as well there would have been a full scale inquest into the whole XF policy. If you get my drift.......

Well I for one do not believe it,Cheryl picked Cher because it is said "she looks like her"cheryl loves herself that much she would put a lookalike through even though she is crap,and has mental issues apparently,then Katie who has the memory of a goldfish and cant remember her words,Rebecca was the only decent one she picked,bliddy idiot.

HARSH......especially as you seem to support the two who really stank Cheryl's house out!
Seriously though, if we are to believe that the visa issue was true (and xf producers deny it), then why did Cheryl act her way through telling Gamu she hadn't made it on ability alone? Truth is that Cheryl 'appeared' to care more about Tracey C and the others who didn't survive her cull.

:amazed: The girl can sing! Whether or not she's to your taste, you cannot say that she can't sing!

She absolutely does, she's like a little mini me! I thought Cher was a really good though, fair play she didn't exactly pull it out of the bag at the judges houses but she did have tonsillitis!

Katie was a very poor choice because she messed up ALL of her auditions but i think it's time to just let it go...

I personally would have put through Kerri.

I loved kerri too. I was just saying in another thread that katie must know someone high up or something, how she managed to get to the lives shows is just beyond me, infact how she even got as far as bootcamp tbh with all her ***** ups

What the hell does the fact she comes from Liverpool have to do with her having soul or not? And plenty of singers sound older than they are when they sing, it's not putting anything on it's just the way they sound.

She's got a fantastic voice and you can still hear her accent imo.

I don't get this 'she had tonsillitis' for goodness sake, okay that would have impeded her voice but it wouldn't stop her 'performing' the song and showing she could remember the words at least.
She only had to sing for barely 2 to 3 minutes,she hadn't lost her voice,she didn't have laryngitis,nothing in Tonsillitis would stop her at least performing the song,allowances could have been made that her voice would not be as strong as usual due to tonsillitis but people make hour long speeches with Tonsillitis.
In a University, any student saying I cant make my presentation today because I have Tonsillitis would be laughed out the room.
It was hardly a taxing song she had, and she could have kept ini the soft area of her voice but still performed the thing.
She stood there and did nothing at all.Therefore failed by herself not due to Tonsillitis.

and on top of that rejected cheryls offers to come back later too!

According to The Sun,

Katie has spoken of being friends with presenter Dermot O'Leary's radio producer Simon Ward.

In another interview, conducted when she had her own reality show, she claimed ex-judge Sharon Osbourne - now helping Louis Walsh - had praised her singing after seeing her perform.

Katie also joined singing binman Andy Abraham on tour after he was a runner-up in the show's second series.

X Factor bosses came under pressure to disqualify her when it emerged she'd signed a US record deal under the name Lola Fontaine.

She had a realitly show?!

Totally true, I had forgotten about that,really she was a waste of space at Cheryl's house.

Oh really???!!! The plot thickens..................

I still have money on Gamu tbh.. She could win, she is amazing!

You are talking out of your arse and if you think Rebeca has a bad voice you are either deaf or have really bad taste in music. Also what does the fact that she is from Liverpool have to do with anything? It just adds to the charm. Do you seriously think the other girls are better... Okay then, clearly deluded :pat:

but i dont think they have enthusiam,spark or entertainment like jedward did.

There is no comparison at all with Jedward and these 2 no hopers. JEDWARD had massive enthusiasm,energy and determination to be noticed, they have a charisma and personality that pulls you to watch them, 'even' if you aren't keen on them.
They took on everything that they were asked/told to do in boot camp, judges house and the 'live' shows.
These 2 girls showed not one single element of all of those things.

Rebecca's a dark horse, I can see her pulling a Alexandra, putting in good performances but largely goes unnoticed until a few weeks before the end. I'd currently say she's my favorite although I'm waiting for the first live show to decide properly.

It was a joke.... Ohhhhhhhhh k?

You think my opinion is wrong, I think yours is wrong :shrug: That's all this comes down to.

She's good at putting on this fake voice of hers, but for me it's just a complete turn off. I'd rather people sing with their accents - this is a dig at most of the other acts in the competition and British artists in general, not just Rebecca!

Although my comment was made slightly in jest, where she comes from actually has a lot of relevence when talking about soul music. The origins of this music are a far cry from her hometown. "It adds to the charm"? You may be right there - she seems like a nice albeit timid girl - but this really has no relevence to the soul music she attempts to sing as she doesn't even try to put through her personality into a performance.

I don't really support either of them, but in terms of originality, personality and potential, yes I think they both are. If that makes me deluded in your eyes then so be it. You're clearly deluded in mine too :pat:

I dont get this whole fake voice thing you are on about. She is hardly going to sing in her broad scouse accent is she??? A persons natural singing voice isn't always the same as their actual voice. Think about it, how many singers these days sing with an accent? Put it this way... if you were a singer and had an accent such as geordie, cockney or scouse, would you seriously try to sing with that accent?

Like this?...
