The 'looking sad' bit was pure class.
what? what's wrong with you? the sob storys are what helps make it for me.
you can sing - so what? singers are ten-a-penny.
you can sing AND all your family got killed in a horrific car accident on the way to your wedding? and your husband-to-be ran off with the WPC who came and told you?
WINNER!!!

Nah she wasn't. I thought that an ugly girl wouldn't have gotten through on the strength of that voice.
She may get better though. I hope so.

This thread's gone a bit quiet.
Rachel or Laura for me, although I'm not sure how Rachel would handle fame if she won. Fantastic voice though

I watched a bit of it and was (surprisingly) really impressed by that blonde girl singing, "Hallelujah". It made a change from all the usual speedy excursions up and down the octaves and thought she put real character into what is a difficult song to pull off.
And at least she didn't blubber out all that ridiculous, "I'm doing it for my family/baby/sister/dead relative/recently deceased pet rabbit bollocks. You're not doing it for them. You're doing it for yourself you lying fucktards!

I'm just watching last nights and there are some really good acts but oh my god the same fucking songs over and over again. 
I'm watching tonights boot camp now and Diana was amazing, I think she's got a fantastic voice.
Rachel was brilliant at her audition but I just don't see what the judges are seeing at boot camp and she'll be a fucking nightmare to mentor.

Yeah we were laughing at how many Valareies and Hallelujahs there were, it was ridiculous!
Not that really fuckin gratin lad from Essex who weeps every time someone talks to him?

The black girl that had a barney at Simon (I forget her name) has the best voice, imo. Genuinely good singer and doesn't go in for the Mariah Carey warbling too much. She's a 'I'm doing this for my family' merchant, though. Didn't one of them make their sob story up and get exposed by the tabloids? I hope it's not her.
Bit disappointed that Cheryl didn't cry this week, though. I doubt they'll pay her now.

it was one of the blokes that embellished his sob story.
i do like rachel's voice (the one that had a go at simon), but voice wise i think alexandra's doing it for me the most at the moment. though I also quite like laura (the girl from bolton) and the girl that sang hallelujah differently to everyone else.
the boys are all a bit meh.
cheryl's been offered a million quid to do the next series

Fifty quid a tear.
Good value for money, imo.

The first day of boot camp had all the Valeries. I was counting em too. Only one person did it any justice imo. But they let a few of them through
The second day though they had to choose a song from a list of 25. So repetition of songs was forgivable.
It was the first day that got me, Valerie, Chasing Cars, The first time ever I saw your face. The last one particularly, every other fucking wannabee singing that shit. That's why Diana singing Hallelujah was such a breath of fresh air.

that was the northern bloke who sang "desperado". i think
The one with the daft hair? That doesn't narrow it down much, i know.

Like a boss.
Alexandra's gonna win, surely? She's got the best voice and is about as perty as you can get. And she crys a lot. And she's a tryer. And she's only 19. And she'd sell in the US.

Afraid so. He's very good when he is performing. Once he stops he needs a slap.
