    kelly embaressed herself and the whole of the midlands with her attitude and behaviour, her vioce wasnt the worst but her and her family’s attitude stunk.

    I saw her on TV and heard her. Maybe she didn’t pick the best song for her voice, maybe she was too nervous. But she didn’t sing well.

    Yeah…um…well, saw this audition and have to agree with the judges. I also think her reaction and that of her family, just shows that this ‘girl’ hasn’t got any star qualities at all. They all looked awful and conducted themselves in a very undignified manner. In short – they were terrible ambassadors for the region.

    Sheesh! The poor wench be deluded, methinks. Whilst certainly not the worst, I think she’s just reached the peak of her non-existent music career.

    Kelly was the worst I have heard for a long, long time and I entirely agree with all the judges. I’m glad I don’t live in Walsall in case she sings in the bath and maybe her dad is going deaf.

    Well done for having a go kelly,it took guts, but try to face defeat with a sence of humour, a smile goes a long way……..it defeats me why anyone would try and sing a classic song and hope to impress the nation, you set yourself up to fail because you ‘shouted it’ more than sang it. Gutsy lady though, so well done, ave another go cocka.

    i cant believe people can be so nasty about someone they have seen in a few minutes clip on the tv.
    i know kelly in fact i am her cousin i dont know what gives you nasty people the right to be so rude about somebody you have never met. ok the audition wasnt great but she got told by the producers (i know i was there) to argue with the judges and play up to the cameras also louis did want to giveher a chance after she sang another song but they didnt show that bit did they, so to all you horrible people out there dont start badmouthing people you know nothing about. kelly has got a good voice she is a good person and a great wife and husband!!
