I liked her, but my problem with her is that when she's live she's very hit and miss, but on the recording of hero, she sounded outstanding.

I thought that she was alright, but sometimes she was singing that loudly that it sounded like shouting. Dannii and Rachel didn't work well together and therefore Rachel hardly ever had any decent tracks to sing. I think that if she'd been with Simon then she'd have had a much better chance.

Also, most of the themes didn't suit her style of music.

I disliked her attitude. Her singing was a hit and a miss but she was very unlikeable.

I didnt like her attitude either. I think she might have been a serious contender if it was not for her appalling attitude.

She was too 'hit and miss', unfortunately. The first week was dannii's fault....that trouser suit and that song!! But rachel never raised her game, even when she 'chose her own songs'. The only two quality performances were in Big Band week, and this week's sing-off. Too little, too late. And nothing to do with 'bad press'.

I only liked her as a vocalist and artist during big band week. Thats the only time she really made me think WOW this time shes cracked it.

She would have never won anyway because no producers would want to work with her. She would be a total nightmare.

I think she did a better bottom-2 performance than JLS personally, but I prefer them to her...and she's generally a horrible person. I was also getting annoyed with her family/friends in the audience tactlessly screaming approval when the judges voted someone else off.

She was my joint favourite with Ruth. She was very talented and I don't think anyone gave her a chance.

BB Eye.... she has talent, but didn't apply it enough. Her performance of 'One' was a good example......as Cowell said she 'threw' it away.......compare that to the spirit that ruth has shown in her sing-offs.

I loved the sing off performance against JLS. The problem with Rachel was that she was too inconsistent, one week she could be outstanding and then the next week absolute crap. She does have a brilliant recording voice as demonstrated on 'Hero'. She could be the Jennifer Hudson of the X Factor. The X Factor isn't just a singing contest its about having likeability, that's why she could of never win but the thing is would Amy Winehouse win?

I was never her biggest fan, but what has Simon always said about the sing off?

It has to be decided on the best singer!

..yet, for some weird reason, Cheryl chose JLS to go through to next week, when they were absolutley terrible compared to Rachel!
