LAURA MARLING
MASSIVE WELL DONE TO YOU'S ;D
- why? I mean cheryl so should've won and if she never won then Ellie Golding should've. Cheryl was robbed and no-one even knows who this laura person is so how is she the best brittish female even though she's not famous and not pretty. literally this girl"laura" or whatever the hell her name is should be arested for theft!!! Cheryl this should've been yours!!!
- whf is she waering. omg where has her style gone.
- I was so chocked when Laura Marling won the best female solo:!Im 100% shure the British average audience dont even know she exist:!This year was a massive win for folk artists like Mumford's, Laura.
Im really happy these X Factor persons were out of luck.Really hate to read about X Factor Cheryl gossip thingies,they pay the papers for that luxury, so i know they exist:D.
- Ainslie x---are you stupid? You complain about Laura not 'being pretty' it's about music not looks! Laura has more musical talent in her finger tips than cheryl has in her whole body! Well done Laura!
