Well that right there makes her far better than Cher and Katie, no? I know nothing of her back story by the way. The girl can sing beautifully. Cher can't. Katie barely holds a note.

Yes. But does/would she have stage presence? No. Does she have personality? No. Does she have the right image? No.

It's the 'X Factor', not the 'Singing Factor'.

Well I remember her audition really clearly, down to the flower in her hair and her mother reminding me so strongly of someone (still can't figure out who it is ). So, from the little we've seen, I'd say she has lots of stage presence. And if by stage presence you mean whatever it is that makes people dislike Katie so strongly and inexplicably - any performer could do without that kind of stage presence. I can't abide either Katie or Cher's image by the way, and I wish they'd leave Rebecca's alone. She had a gorgeous style of her own before the happy clappy fluorescent X Factor styling team were let loose...
