Hey...I'll say that she's "got the right instrument" but needs a REAL producer to get her the right song with the right prompting of vocal dynamics.

Chris is spot on about the show hosts "setting it all up". They wouldn't be doing thier job if they didn't!

The irony of this performance is that the setup actually requires that she is middle aged, dumpy, never been kissed, etc. It's the whole context that makes the story. If Cinderella was just another rich tart, then who would give a toss if she married some aristo or not? It's the 'rags to riches' part of the old tale that keep sucking readers in.

If this lady was 30 and moderately pretty she'd have been warmly applauded and then taken her place in the long line of pretty good singers who do OK in talent shows but don't quite have the final few yards of X-factor to push their way to the top.

It's an interesting twist to take her looks etc and turn them into her biggest asset - a different hook to hang the audience attention on other than sheer musical ability. Lord knows, it's common enough in the 'Clothes, hair and image' world of pop music - it's just another twist on an old dodge... :)

Good luck to her...

Chris
