I don't think we should shoot Niamh down for singing Valerie. As I said in an earlier post, it wasn't a good choice for her. To be honest, it wouldn't be a good choice for anyone other than Amy Winehouse. It's just one of those songs. Let's see what she does next week, sorry this week. Someone in an earlier post said she can't sing upbeat numbers and is only good at ballads. She has done a lot of ballads hasn't she? I'm sure she's done some upbeat stuff to, just that I can't remember any. I can actually somehow see her as Nancy, but she'd need to be a lot grittier and edgier.
I think ALW was right to get rid of Keisha. The public have out her in the bottom two three times now, and on Saturday two of the panel said that she wasn't Nancy. He's gone with the majority and rightly so. Ashley's expression makes me laugh when it's 'voting time' and the results are just about to be announced. She looks like she's going to murder someone. Looks a bit like Kathy Bates in Misery. She started off likeable, I thought, but has become worse over the weeks. All that punching the air and "yes Yes-ing" when she was put through was just a bit ridiculous. Even Jodie was calmer and more dignified about it last week. Good old Jodie, she's still Nancy as far as I'm concerned.
