Want to ask, why is there so much hate for Sophie Pecora here? 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?
