Cher's voice is only average but it's her stage presence and niche that's got her through.

I believe in giving credit where credit is due regardless of if I dislike a contestant. I don't want her to win mind, she'll be sorted win or lose so she doesn't need it.

Yeah your right actually, thinking about it I like many artists that don't even try to sing in tune, thats not what makes an artist imo. BUT for me she has no presence atall :/ all I see is a whiney little brat that can't sing & is just copying other peoples stuff... badly. It should be about showing off your own talents by either writing your own stuff or making a cover song your own, not just singing it word for word exactly how the last person sung it, epecially when you sing it worse. I wanna see something original.

The way I see it is that all the contestants sing covers so you can't single her out for it and plus they don't really have much of a choice in what or how they sing it so I think it's unfair to say that any of the contestants copy other artists because it's all down to the higher ups who tell them what to sing...or rap.

I would like to see a round though where they all have to do an original song though, it would be good as you'd get a glimpse of what kind of artists they'd all be, although it would be a heavy workload to do all that in one week. Maybe do what they do in American Idol? On the finals the contestants pick out a song from the Winner's songs that weren't chosen (Unlike ours they're always original songs submitted by the public) and then task them with that as nobody would have sung it before so they'd have to make the songs work for them.
