2011 Live Show 2: Samantha Brookes ‘I will Always Love You’ too Cruise Ship for Gary Barlow

sami brookes week 2Sam Brookes took on her idol ‘Whitney Houston’ tonight singing one of her biggest hits, ‘I Will Always Love You’ and was labelled by Gary Barlow a cruise ship performer.

Before taking to the stage Sami admitted that she connected with the song and the theme of the week, saying:

“The theme this week is love and heartache and have I had my share of heartache baby!”

We believe that Sam connected to the song very well and delivered an entertaining performance. However, we feel she will have to go someway to beat her unbelievable audition performance, which was another Whitney classic.

Judges Comments:

Kelly Rowland: Sami I think you already know that you are one of the most lovable people anyone could ever meet but the fact, whoever was it broke your heart? Let me go stamp on his. Girl you sang the heck out of that song, ok….put it down!

Gary Barlow: Sami let me start by saying you look gorgeous tonight babe, absolutely beautiful. You know I’m a big fan of yours, that song was a little bit too close to being a cruise ship singer for me but you have a brilliant voice and I really enjoyed the performance…well done! I would never have given Sami that song, it’s too old fashioned for her….she’s a diva!

Tulisa Contostavlos: Sami do you know what, that is a massive song but I tell you what you have a massive voice and not many people can get away with singing that song and actually nail it but tonight, you nailed it.


Louis Walsh: Sami everybody in Wales is so proud of you tonight, I want them to lift their phones and vote for you. That was effortless, it was emotional and it was beautiful and I am really proud of you.
