I watched it back after recording it and found it took 18 minutes for the first 'act' and there were only around 8 people shown over the whole time. The rest was adverts and crap. I watched the whole thing in 30 minutes, its an hour and 40 long i think. Thats horrific

who copied elton john :rolleyes:

most singers dont right there own stuff i.e. riannah love the way you lie was written by a girl called skylar grey and was written for herself to sing then riannah actually did a cover of.

thats just to name one artist off the top of my head.

She's a good singer, but nothing different.

keep bleeding sung by leona lewis was written by one republic singer, but he made a mint, and so did the skylar bird if she wrote that song!

A couple of things; Ellie Goulding did not 'copy' Elton John, she covered his song, big difference. But there's little chance this Janet Devlin will have even known the song until Ellie Goulding covered the song and it was used in an advert (I know I didn't, yet I'm blessed to have been brought up in an Elton-free environment :nerd: )
And the fact Janet Devlin sings the same song in such a similar style to Ellie's version, to me, seems like Janet copied Ellie.
Not that there's much wrong with that in the fickle world of pop music, everyone's copying what's 'in' as that's where the gwap is.
If it gets her her 15 minutes of fame, all power to her!

And as for 'most singers dont right [sic] there [sic] own stuff', this is very wrong.
So many artists write their own material, unless they are (again) in the fickle world of pop music, which I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were referring to 'pop' 'singers'.


*Apologies for being pedantic, I'm very opinionated when it comes to music and also in a bit of a dodgy mood at the moment  :smiley:

Yeah i admit it is simelar to elllie gouldings version.
and i also admit theres plenty of artist/bands out there who wright there own material

but in my opinion she still has loads of tallent and in the full version of her audition it says she wrights her own songs. Though cant find any so no idea how good they. though shes only young so plebty of time to learn still
