This is the first time we saw Rachel Hylton on our TV screens, 16th August 2008. It was the first episode of the fifth series of The X Factor. Rachel sang Amy Winehouse’s ‘No Good’ but declared, “that doesn’t mean I’m no good!” .. Rachel has landed!


The purest, most stunning, hair stand on end voice I have heard since I heard Mick Hucknall sing the old stylistics “you make me feel brand new”. If this girl doesn`t win the X-factor then it will be revealed that the british public has very little idea of what true class is all about. This girl is destined to be a star if she gets the correct backing, support and of course the right material to work with. Rachel, good luck darling and hold it together for your own sanity you are going to be a world superstar very soon. Oh by the way, that very 1st audition, the unaccompanied version of amy winehouse`s your no good, I will go as far as to say I dont think anyone could sing it better than you. All the best from a white soul boy from south london ( age 45)
i love this girl she should win 100 per cent.. she aint like most ppl aint had it handed on a plate.. rachel to win x
I love Rachel - right from that first audition, and I am heartbroken she is getting such a raw-deal on X-Factor to the present day. I can’t help but feel that had Simon been her mentor things would be alot different now. Danni - in my opinion, is not doing right by her - what does everyone else think??
