I think that's rather harsh Andy .. I don't see her coming across as arrrogant at all. Yes, she's very good, and she performs confidently, but works hard and is just as anxious before during the practice week as anyone, plus if you read her Tweets, she's thrilled to still be there, and is nervous each week as to whether she'll be able to do her song justice.
I agree that Bernie is likely to get a bigger popular vote because she probably has a bigger UK following, but not to vote for someone who performs best just because she gives a confident performance is a bit sad imo .. and perhaps a reflection of the times and the GBP's way of voting for who they see as an underdog .. as in Come Prancing
These are professional singers, and to come out and give of your best with a poised and confident performance is professionalism imo, not arrogance. Meat always comes out and owns the stage .. and we know how he angsts before and after a show!! .. but it's his job to be confident when he's on stage, so that's what he always gives.
