Already had my first bet on her at 20/1. Yes i know, i'm sad 
Show More
love her cofidence,sang that better than the original.
Dont think its that sad mate.
Something about her. One that will be the talking point for the next week in the media.
If she has that wide vocal range with many music styles. She will be signed up,if not on X-fACT
Cant sing. But something about Katie Waisal. Or is it Katie Vogel http://www.youtube.com/user/greeneyedworld

She could make the live show, but not a hope of winning.
She was natural, not contrived.great take on that song that i pressume she created..Such natural stage presence..You gotta be pretty good to just stand in one spot and command the stage and have everyone unable to take their eyes off you..She has a great look and reaction face to her words and she actually sings the song and feels it.
I not seen anyone with this kinda natural soul and natural ability that makes her already look like she has been 'famous' for ages..She would fit right in to the music industry and if managed right etc..be as big as anyone in thi country imo..She has that much potential and talent I think...Just from those 2 mins she did so much..quite a rise in the standard of this show..Even if she don't win I would be shocked if she not in final..Either way she has a meaningful and long career if she wants it

10/1 about right at this stage. We could easily get 3 or four more better candidates. Therefore I want more; so no bet.Well done if you got more. This show is all about improvment ( in performance and in likability) and the "Chosen one" moment.
I missed the last two chosen ones due to my Alien tastes and my tendency to be against Simon. But you do not have to pick a winner to profit on this one.
I still see more point in Vickers than Burke and in Stacey Solomon than the vapid Joe Mcnobody. I lost money on Burke but backed Joe when it became obvoius that Danyl had no chance and Joe was a massive threat with the "OOh he's a good singer" crowd.
We have not had a white girl winner for a while and Simon gets what Simon wants. I am very suspicious of 25's on Katie. Good price if she is in the finals Simon definately setting her up. No bet though I have lost money on eliminations before. I need a jedward 500/1 or a Stacey 25/1 before I bet before the off.

i think she could do a great version of that 60s classic my boy lollipop
The last 8 is known already if anyone wants to take advantage of trading, especially an Irish Women whos on it in 2 weeks time shes already into the last 8
Oh dear. On the basis of this which shows we have a very grounded 18 year old. This will also go down very well in the states.

Also the dreaded Scotish vote. I am well aware that she could go the same way as the Welsh bird last year. I also think Simon wants a white girl.
Nevertheless I have taken the 10's. Yes you are right its a bad bet but everytime I watch this is want to cheer this girl on. Unusually for me I am betting with my heart.

Prediction number one Simon will tell Gamu she is not contemporary enough.
gamu is def contemporary..She is soulful..That is always in existence in music..How many younger soulful black singers do we have..Hardly any
I thought she did a great version of that sunshine song and with good writers, She can be like a nina simone type person..But you can't really compare artists to artist..Think she got great dramatic facial expression and has a personality performing..That is a rare thing..It seems very natural for her.
Her winning is I guess the point of all this.But that is all determined so probs not banking on her to win..But she really should be gttin to the end even if it is all pre determined

how many people cried at this at the christmas concert when she sang it ?

16 hours ago My fav Gamu quote so far.
Is she the best singer ever on Xfactor. She is more versatile than Leona and she has more personality.

I never watch xfactor because of what it truely stands for and te absurdity of it all..But I can't think of nayone other winner who could have as much longeivity as Gamu..Seriously.
She has deep soul and will learn more about all the components of a singer..But it is natural for her and she has a much more expressive face than leona for sure..She is quite wooden.
She could truely be the first person from this show who turns into a legend perhaps..If things go to plan..Might sound mad I know but she has the attributes

Some amazing singer like Ollie Murs could beat Gamu. Or a group like JLS. Unforunatly she may very well be too good for xfactor as indeed was Vickers. Highly talented in a differnt way to Gamu.
I just hope the "She's a good singer" vote the non threatening famale vote,( may be considered too clever by half , posh and stuck up for some females.They may go against her), the "fair play the most talented must win" vote, the family values vote and the entire Scottish nation all vote for her.
The "I love Olly" or (whoever Cheryl says is sexy)vote blows Gamu away everytime.
I cannot see Simon making her the chosen one. Too many black girl singers dispite the fact her sheer ability gives her a kind of uniquness as did Leonas. Simon will criticise her and may upset her. Simon may also ensure she gets awful song choices then blasts her for it. I just want to hear to sing as many songs as possible. I consider my couple of quid @ 10/1 a lost bet. I did it for love.

woulnd't call olly urs amazing...michael jackson is amazing..n imo gamu has much more likeability and stag presenece tan olly..He tried too hard, was not a natural dancer and I could watch gamu stand in one spot and command stage muc more than olly...
Sorry I was being ironic. Olly was awful in everyway. But if Cheryl tells the girls that some-one like him is sexy the females will multi vote intheir millions
oo lol.yeah it is tragic how lemming like viewers and people are in certain situations. esp with shows like this..They will buy anything..It is only now people got that big brother is ****..Will take a while for people to realise reality shows suck too.
But they look upon chlry as inspiration and in essence she is an awful performer and singer..The ego has now been inflated because so many commend her and make her feel like she is special..It is all tragic..How that panel can judge music is beyound me

We must rememeber that evn Susan Boyle did not win her show. Possible the most sucessful contest on one of these shows ever. Who beat her? some cute males dancing. I loved them but Subo is an amazing phenomena. How did that happen. Ok the press reported that she was bonkers. All that show is how fickle the great british public are.
I think that this girl is overall a better performer than Boyle. I would not buy Boyles records but I did like the stones cover she did. Gamu could be anything.
On the other hand Scotland got Michelle Mcmanus through Pop idol against all the odds. Michelle is another good singer . I think that Gamu is better, more unique and overall a much better package. Leon was a cute Male so he does not count. Any female no matter how talented has problems against cute males. If Gamu was a cute male she would be odds on already. So come on Scotland the brave lets get the most talented and technically best contestant on the winners podium. It'll be massive effort. Worth it though. I'd never heard of the Wee county before Gamu can put ot on the world Map.

The Scots voted for an obese horror, a decent reflection of Scottish culture.
An 18yo Zimbabwean immigrant is more likely to get strung up by the backwards thinking lot north of the border than be voted the winner of a talent show.

Gamu is now due to pass one Million hits any minute.
I do not think she will win though I cannot see anyone else coming along with more talent. IMO she is the best singer ever on one of these.
To win this you need to improve in performance and likability and you need Simon to sell you to the GBP.
She can improve on performance. Consistently brilliant counts as improve as in “That’s the the 4th week that you have been consistently brilliant”. However; say she does an Andrew Garcia style world beating version of a standard say er “I got life” the judges could them beat her up with it for the rest of the show. You know,
the old; “Good but not as good as “I got”; torpedo.
Likability; can easily improve from here.
On the other hand I can also see the;
too clever by half, goody goody Afro-Scottish princess, “guaranteed a career anyway”; hate line being used against her.
Does Simon want her? Does he want a white girl? Does he want a group? This is the big question. If he does he gets an act classier than Leona.
But he may think; where’s the celebrity gold dust in jazz and gospel and anyway she’ll never be as sexy as Cheryl.
Her odds have now shortened to 8/1.

Melv, please don't get too attached. Remember Vanessa Wolfe?
No I had forgot her. BstdActually I hope you where not paying attention over the Andrew Garcia fiasco; which was probably my worst ever. Never laid one penny off waiting for his moment and he just got worse. I still think there is still miles more to come from him. But he absolutaly lost his mojo.
It is so posible that Gamu could go the way of many of my other loves. Unfortunatly I think she is the best one of the lot.A very bad sign. More personality more expression, better comunicator and altogether more class than Leona; who is the gold standard.(and she nearly lost to Ray the spinning scouse kiddy vampire .)
Stacey woz robbed and Jedward continue to show their class.

Allez- the backward lot might see her as an immigrant but she is THEIR immigrant,Scots can be fickle like that.........
Gamu is going to need the whole of Scotland behind her to win this. If racism or anti immigrant hatred stops people voting she has had it.
It think that the 500 people in her choir are going to be an asset. Now I thought that Garcias music network would help him[smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy]
. So much for my theories.
However among 500 scots there are going to be some canny people and 500 musical Scots are going to be canny musically. Surely she gets some brilliant advice????

I know she cannot win this with likes of painful Liam around. But I am taking the liberty of assung that there are other fans out there.
First the bad news "Where will you sleep this Christmas" an original song written by her teacher for Gamu has been removed from youtube. It shows a side to Gamus voice
not seen in other songs. Its absolutely beautiful such as shame its gone.
The good news is I have found another of Gamus songs. The style is similar to "Where will you sleep" If it was not for this similarity I would doubt it was Gamu.
Enjoy fans.

Some keeps removing this song from youtube. Have a listen before it goes again.
Gamu has not just got a classy voice. She has at least 3 different kinds of classy voice.
Miles too good to win xfactor.

It's a major barrier, it must be said
True George, in XF ugliness is more forgiven in the old, but I think her singing ability more than compensates (and she has a certain puppy fat cuteness anyway).
The OP did well to get 20/1.

I do not want this thread to be lost.
She has the weaponry to do the impossible
which is to win this on pure ability by
just being brilliant everyweek in every style.
But I am expecting a boy. My bet is Matt goes close.
Lee won AI and I think Matt is dynamic compared with Lee.

Absolute travesty that bookmakers are easing their prices if they know they aren't even going to run.

Here we go. Awful unsuitable song choice. The ones they want to get rid of given apalling song choices. I can hear the script now.
"Gamu there is loads of compettion you are going to have to be really "current" to get through this. Forget the tunes do something really now. Can you do rap?"
You do not need "current" when you are classic. Brilliant is always the thing to be.
If she gets through which she won't they will go garcia on her and undermine her until she loses her mojo. They probably will use the same tactic which is to constantly say she is not doing as well as she did in audition.
Yeah looks out to me. What mystifies me is why they do not even want her on the tour. Could it be because she will make the car crash tv and drama queens look bad with her style poise and class. Everyone hope she gets a contract but they never do. Do they?
Come on Matt. But enough of the falsetto already.
I did not and will not watch the show. Watching on youtube is bad enough.

Danni admits she chose Matts song. Did Cheryl actually choose Gamu's song? I bet Gamus heart sank when she got that idiot.
do we know for sure that she is not wanted on the tour
Nothing is known for sure. Thats why Simon has got me waiting for tonight. We may even be waiting for next Saturday if the "surprise" is not sprung by then. 10 out of 10 tv values. Which is I am boycotting the box.
Funnily enough Ladbrokes are currently going 8/1 on Gamu , the rest of the bookmakers are nowhere near this. Does the magic sign know something I wonder?
