Posted March 4, 20241 yr Diana Vickers - Once rpkxgDpCyAc This happened almost 14 years ago in May 2010. :cry:
March 4, 20241 yr I think this is such a phenomenal pop song, so unique sounding. She deserved so much better than she got.
March 4, 20241 yr I really liked once and still do but i have always preferred my wicked heart by her.
March 8, 20241 yr I find it quite bland but nonetheless happy Diana managed to get a #1 hit with it 18 months after her time on X Factor. Always preferred the underrated 'Boy Who Murdered Love'.
March 9, 20241 yr Their problem was going with 'The Bore Who Murdered Love' as the follow up over songs like: 'You'll Never Get To Heaven' (HELLO!?????), 'Notice', 'Four Leaf Clover', 'Remake Me & You' and even 'Jumping Into Rivers' would have been a better choice. (OK maybe not 'Notice' or 'Four Leaf Clover' as second single choices, but they should have been released further into the campaign and given an X Factor performance...

The song was an utter snoozefest after the very unique bop that is Once. Maybe she just needed more time to work on her craft, so that she could come up eith other songs like Once.
March 9, 20241 yr I remember people on here used to call her DiVi! Her voice really does channel the Cranberries! 'Once' is one of the songs I played sped up about 4x a lot as a joke when I was younger, I especially liked the sped up the chorus ONCEONCEONCEYEAHONCEONCEONCEYEAH Edited March 9, 20241 yr by TheSnake
March 10, 20241 yr :lol: :lol: :lol: Last good number 1 single on the UK chart?! It’s ok, found her voice a tad annoying though.
March 10, 20241 yr I used to really like her but let's not compare her to Dolores O'Riordan from the Cranberries please I also kinda liked The Boy Who Murdered Love and think it's was the correct followup sorry :D
March 11, 20241 yr The entire first album was perfection. My Wicked Heart was amazing but the RHCP comparisons killed it for her. Second album wasn’t as good but Music To Make Boys Cry is amazing.
March 12, 20241 yr My Wicked Heart was amazing but the RHCP comparisons killed it for her.I've listened to the song a decent amount of times and never made that connection before :o But I can hear the resemblance now!
March 12, 20241 yr Surprised you didnt pick it up, it was the only thing people talked bout when released it, did 1000% ruin the song for me :o My fav song of hers from album 1 is Put it Back Together Again written by the fabulous Nerina Pallot <3
March 12, 20241 yr 'Music to Make Boys Cry' is one of those pop gems everybody deserves to know :heart: Both albums are basically perfect when I think about it. With regards to the second single, I do think 'The Boy Who Murdered Love' was a perfectly good choice. I'm not convinced anything else would have done better, they piled a ton of hype into the first single and the album to get them both to #1 and they dropped down the chart very quickly (unfortunately)
