Not sure how she won this one! For me Alice Cooper and Paul Anka were spot on. Paul Young was pretty good, didn't quite have the same purity of tone. I'm not familiar with Marie Osmond so cannot comment on her likeness.
It's the English language music industry. "We're looking for someone original who can bring something new to the music scene. Unless you're a black woman, in which case we expect you to sing like Whitney."
I love these, but I now remember how annoyed I used to get about the choices the audience made 🙄
I really cannot understand how on earth Sharon Hepburn who went on as Whitney Houston won this heat as she sounded nothing like her
It was the song that did it.
Whoever told Sharon she sounded like Whitney Houston lied to her and was possibly tone deaf because she doesn't and she could never match her range!

But this isn’t the X factor or any other search for a new star, its just a soundalike contest.
@@kellygorton-smith208 Generally speaking, if you sound like Whitney Houston, you're guaranteed to win most singing contests.
True but this lady doesn’t!
