Thank You everyone for your beautiful kind words

WOW.... Why does Australia have so many great singers? I love watching this show more than the rest of them. This is the best of the XFactors.

A beautiful person, reflecting genuineness of heart and poise. Australians must be very proud.

this was a tear jerker

so often people use their past to make people feel sorry for them and it's really soppy, but she was just so down to earth and real and didn't blame anyone and just saw such a goodness in her situation, far out i'm so glad she has that gift what an amazing girl.

This is just beautiful...!

She is beautiful, genuine and it is hard growing up without having your parents there. She deserves nothing but the best!

Wow, I'm an aboriginal from the other side of the world, and I grew up in bad circumstances as well.. I don't know you but I'm proud of you and can feel your spirit in your voice. I don't watch much tv but I'm sending you prayers, and I know you were meant to fly.

Besides the awesome voice, she's a great person...best of luck. Regards from Portugal.

Her voice sounded so smooth and pure it was beautiful

i think nobody else can sing that song any better....... she got a voice of an angel

what a beautiful young lady -- inside and out. God bless her Nan - what a treasure they have in one another. Beautiful voice.... never heard that song before - so beautiful listening to Shanell sing it. Well done!

Beautiful voice, well done

Shanell is a unique beautiful girl who has a lovely voice and she's one of my favorite contestants right now other than Tee. I want to her more from her and seriously, she should go through to live shows. Who knows what will happen. Fingers crossed.

Beautiful! Such a sweet girl! Love her ❤️

WOWW!!! i've been watching Talent Shows a lot an got to say X-factor Australia 2014 is brimming with rare musical talent. Shanell's personality and honest tone touches my soul...

this made me cry ughhh love her vocals

Each one that comes on I find myself blown away.Many have said Shanell is beautiful, well as I am blind & can only listen, I was about to say that as well as her wonderful voice she appears to have great inner beauty. What a perfect combination. I will keep listening and hoping success comes their way.

Angelic voice, I cannot believe that I have not seen this one in all the years I have followed the show. Shanell, you are a beautiful young lady with a beautiful voice. Your story is heartbreaking too, but I am so happy to see you go forward with such confidence. I wish you everything of the very best for your life ahead.

She's an angel. She's all pure.
