People are slating her for just doing simple rhythms with her guitar and not having a big voice but if it was any other way she'd lose her charm. As I stated before in a night full of theatrics, acrobatics and melons being smashed around giants, having just someone with a calm voice with simple guitar melodies, with no theatrics really stood out in a strong quarter final and she was very unlucky not to get through, she was in a very strong episode, I think she would've been top 5 last week, and she didnt have the safety net of a judges save due to the technical fault (there is no way the judges wouldve sent her home). What I'm saying is what could she do better? If she had a more shouty voice or played the guitar in a more aggressive way she'd lose her charm. I mean it was that sort of thing (albeit with no guitar) that enabled Salvador Sobral to win Eurovision in 2017.

In fact I am seeing a trend, there has been so much unneccessary hate here for acts like Ansley Burns and GForce and saw some for Charlotte Summers. All 3 have something in common, they are child/teen female singers. So why is it the child/teen female singers are being picked on here? sophie isnt bad, not a gb act, but she definitely wasn't bad. however her performance in the quarters was VERY weak. so she did kind of deserved to go after that performance, maybe not over ansley but still. and ansley and g force, mostly g force, are awful and hard to listen to. and charlotte summers had an awesome first audition, had an ok jc, and a VERRYYYY mediocre quarters performance. compared to the choir and chris, PLUS her attitude, it proved shes not ready for this competition making her more deserving of her elimination.
