"No bloody wonder she was a bit nervous! Wouldn't you be? Could you do what she did, anywhere near as well as she did it?"

Yes, everyone doing a competition gets nervous. I guess that's a part of it. As to doing what she does - I wouldn't want to. In point of fact, and this is the bit where you get to roll your eyes in disbelief and pull faces (off camera - so no worries about receiving death threats), I really wouldn't want to swap my voice for hers. I just don't like it - I find it brash, cheap and unattractive. I've no desire to sing show songs on big telly comps either. I'm more than happy in pubs singing traditional folk songs. Other people are entitled to express a less than glowing review, without it being considered bitching or jealousy. She's put herself in a competition purposefully, in order for others to judge her ability - I personally find it wanting.
