Hmm I dont know. I did love rebeccas 'fireflies' though, at judges houses I think it was. Think i need to watch a bit more of her before making my mind up on her, this week though...I actually thought she was one of the worst -ducks-

well, this what I was saying in another thread. Cheryl gave her a terrible song, she seems to be concentrating on her little "mini-me" and I would wonder is she deliberately trying to take Rebecca out of the running?

That song just didn't suit her voice at all

I think its more to do with Cheryl not having a clue about song style outside of her own little chavvy bubble.

yeah, could be that too. as Vicky said the version of fireflies she did at judges houses was just fantastic, she has so much potential but I really think Cheryl will ****** things up for her

I agree, Cheryl knows Rebecca has a great voice really, this was number ones week, think of all the great songs and great peformances there have been in songs getting to number one.

Then Mystic Meg Cheryl dives into her cauldron and brings out a song that really doesn't change in tempo, gives no opportunity to really vocally shine then throws it to one her best and strongest singers as to vocals.

yep, the choices were endless for her last week, Girl put your records on or something like that would have been a good choice for her imo

Pretty much sums up what I thought too..... she sang an average song well.

Even fans agree that the song choice was awful and not her style at all....but then again coming from someone who had "Fight for This Love"
as her debut solo song,....i'm not too confident that Rebecca's fortunes will favour her obvious talent.
Another example of a good singer being ruined by song choice was Laura White, who was outstanding till they messed with her style choice and home she went.

Sounds like we like the same tunes Niamh....and as such we can feel when an artist of a certain genre is then put outside of that and expected to sing away from their comfort zone.

great taste you have

and yeah, I mean Cheryl should be listening to the artists that Rebeccas been compared to and try and pick something more suitable for her voice. She has such a lovely voice but it is a little harder than the likes of Treyc to find the right songs for her

100% agree, but that individuality could be what makes her stand out in the long run if handled correctly.

Its what makes Rebecca & Matt my fave two acts as they stand outside of the others on the show IMO.

yep, they're my two favourites but were both let down on Saturday by poor song choices. I think that Matt especially really did the best he could with the song but it was just not right at all for him. And that is worrying when last week they had such a wide scope to chose from, they literally could have picked anything.
