Beyonce meets Tina Turner meets Janet Jackson. I love it.

She's so amazing 

you would think she was an established artist 

deserves to go far 

[Harry 26,836]

Lol the best acts never win.

Song's not for me and the UF thing was obviously a ploy by the label as it's what people associate her with, but it's fun and will obviously be huge. And good for her, she's very talented. It will be interesting to see if she can write as well. Girl might just have the full package. Props to her.

This is what the music industry needs.  A little competition.

Fleur KILLED it! Not a huge fan of the song but I love her performance style - she can sing and dance, which is something that is rarely found combined in an artist.

 

Can't believe she is about to take Adele's weave - not even JB could do it, but Fleur looks like she might be able to! 

What a wonderful story to tell to your children.

"Son, you see this weave above the fireplace. I snatched it to Adele back in a day"

I LOVE THIS

She was the real winner for me. This performance and choreo is dripping with Michael/Janet influence. She definitely has the 'x factor' which a lot of 'artists' in the charts these days do not have. If this is just the beginning then I can't wait to see where she goes, the music industry needs people like her who have something worth paying attention to. Also her hair is fab, some killer hairography going on here!

The most admirable thing other than her undeniable talent is how much she really really wants to smash. Reminds me of how energetic gaga used to be, or Tina turner, all mixed with Janet. 

She could be a secret jackson tbh, look at her.

If they keep up with her management wise, she could be bigger than Kesha (set yur sights low) which is big for a UK performer. Unfortunately she's with syco. Goodnight Irene

Beyoncé impersonator ? 

PS: Please ... This is not Uptown Funk formula...
It's been done by The Jackson 5 countless times, it's their formula... 

By the way, song sounds exactly like a The Jackson 5 song I can't recall the name of at the moment. And in some parts, it sounds exactly like uptown funk. Did they sample any songs ??

Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground) by the Jacksons

She's not going to overthrow Adele. Adele has more streaming power and has had greater sales throughout the week. Fleur will need to keep this up for all of next week to stand a chance, so I doubt she'll do it seeing as most XF singles get a massive start but can't maintain it, especially in the second week. Justin might also push her down to #3.

Anyway, this girl really was a suprise. Her first audition wasn't even televised on the main broadcast (unheard of for anyone who winds up in second place) and the judges didn't think too highly of her at first. Cheryl even asked her if she could dance. A bizarre, rather insuting question that had never been asked of a contestant before. It was essentially saying: "You can't sing and there's nothing else special about you, so...there must be something you can do." Then her second audition commenced in front of the live audience. Here, she sang Fine China and I have to say...it was terrible. She was so off-key throughout and didn't exactly sell it. Her dancing was extremely basic and easy to do while singing. Overall, if I had been a judge, I would have said no. Aside from the shockingly bad singing, she had all the ingredients of one of those girls who think they can be a famous singer even though they're untalented because they can get by on looks and s-xuality. Everything I hate, basically. But she unbelievably got through. Her six chair challenge audition wasn't much better. Her judge's houses audition was decent but she shouted her way through a lot of it. Ultimately, I was convinced Simon only got her this far and put her through to live shows because he fancied her (she's just his type and he's done the same thing to other girls who look like her in the past). But then she was in live shows and she was suprisingly good. Her voice was better, her choreography super slick. Before I knew it, she was shaping up to be a credible winner and yet I never believed in her at first. Sax is alright, good for an XF single. But it totally rips off the far superior Uptown Funk and attempts to get her success through associating that song with her perfomance. Her choreography is totally Beyonce, her look totally Janet Jackson. She's hardly the most original of artists. But I will say that her album cover looks different (very Grace Jones) and the tracklisting sounds promising with unusual titles like Breakfast, Gold Watch, Paris and Kitchen (very like Kelis's Food album). It could be a surprising debut.

Have to say, she's one of the rare contestants where I've eaten my hat. She actually can sing and dance (I think she wrote some of an independent album too) and has stage presence and charisma. I just don't know why she took so long to show it.

Nobody said she will overthrow Adele on the official charts, but Fleur might get to #1 on itunes

She seemed so much like Janet Jackson, in the beginning.

I don't know her, but she's a funky diva and she's born to be on stage..i mean, what the hell, she nailed it!!!
