the lady in the wheel chair on x factor

[dave2222]

i have 4got her name and yes shes quite good nothing special and abit boring, all the news papers etc are saying shes going to win x factor but i dont think shes good enough and it does my head in that maybe shes only getting the attention because shes in a wheel chair! does everyone really think she can make it i dont!

[ELVIS68]

I don`t,and I`m surprised she`s got this far.

A few weeks ago Sharon told her she`s through and it`s got nothing to do with her being in a wheelchair...if that`s the case why did she bother mentioning it?
In my opinion that`s why she`s got this far

[Blyss]

I agree Elivs ,, shes only in there for the big sympathy vote.

her name is Kerry btw

[nat_84]

I veyr much doubt she'll win it. Ben is favourtie at the moment, followed by Leona.

If she wasnt in that wheelchair she wouldnt have got far. (sorry for the pun) but she isnt anything special and it just shows what a sad world we live in, that we should all feel sorry for her.

I don't feel sorry for her she is having the time of her life, but it would be a brave judge even by Cowell and co's standards ro have to choose to kick her out. i think her voice is week ans obviously unless she has a majot songwriting talent her type of song will be limited too.

Im confused as she was photographed in the Sunday papers walking with crutches,and I thought she was paralysed from the waist down??

[maggie01]

Apparently she can walk a few steps but tires easily.

It's a tricky one here isn't it, how not to offend. I reckon the maj of the population watching were thinking the same thing on Saturday.
Her voice was weak , the choice of song poor and I am glad Simon mentioned it.
I don't think the general public are daft enough to vote her in as the winner. On the other hand....

[dot.hawkes]

They went for michelle McManus though didn't they? She was as unlikely a winner as u could get as the whole pop star package dictates a certain look and Michelle was morbidly obese, it has been shown that it is not an acceptable image through her own dedication to losing so much weight. I know her voice is amazing though, far more flexible than the new lady.

WARNING - Cynical post...!!!

maybe she should increase her chances of getting votes by mentioning her accident/wheelchair every second sentence instead of every third.

[shineybomb]

They always do this - same with the girl whose mum died. I forget her name but she is a great singer and I just wish they would stop mentioning it all the time. Is that Leona?

[PAWSABELLE]

No, it's Nikita whose mum died

[lithuanian]

you're right, Whickerman, I would like her if she wasn't repeating all the time 'I've struggled so much, I've faced so much adversity', etc, etc.
