I won't argue with her singing ability. No question she has a superb singing voice but then so do thousands of brits. The thing is what makes her different to them (does she have the X factor) and the answer i'm afraid is no. 12 live shows and 12 perfect immitations of other singers, their styles and their gestures.
She will do well as the female version of Joe Longthorne though.
Was a little disappointing this season after high expectations (pre judge's houses.) All started to get a little boring with little 'real' talent and by the last few weeks I was quite bored with the whole thing.
Tom - I won't be auditioning because whilst I have a very good singing voice (I can sing in tune as well unlike many of the finalist), I can play guitar, bass and keyboard too.
However I am far too ugly (see avatar
) I don't have the body of an athlete. I have much more to think about than pipe dreams of being a puppet at the beck and call of some music mogul's publicity ideals 24/7.
I have 2 children and so I think it better to 'Not do this for them' as that would mean they would see less of me
I am far too honest to be interviewed in 'Take That' week saying. 'They're great, they've done it all. What an experience' when I would really be thinking 'They're not too bad now but they were crap when they were young and popular with the teenies' and 'Is this the best act Simon Cowell could get? He only needs to get 10 acts for 10 shows'.
So no....unless I lose interest in my children, get prettier, build my body up, lose my honesty, become a dreamer and not mind being pushed around for the sake of publicity....I will put up with moaning about the people who have so little in their lives that they think that this is life.
It is good to have a moan at the saddos that do think this though. lol
