I've really gone off Diana recently for some reason. She's still my second favourite but if Ruth was still there, she'd be third.

 

Alex FTW now for me!

It really wasn't that bad Aly! yes she's had better performances, but it's not as bad as that!

 

Anyway, in "Loving Memory" :kink: what were your favourite peromances?

 

Mine were...

 

01| Call Me :heart:

02| Yellow :wub: (The Mp3 has made me love it!)

03| With or Without You :wub:

04| Man In the Mirror

05| Girlfriend

06| White Flag

07| Everybody Hurts

08| Patience

09| Smile

10| I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman

 

But I do really LOVE them all :wub:

With Or Without You was my favourite from her, it was a shame she never topped her first for me anyway. I adored White Flag from her tonight aswell.

Amazing article on Diana on Popjustice :heart:

 

Diana, X Factor Winner Of Hearts

 

We thought Diana Vickers was great on The X Factor. All the way through the series, in fact. But every time we wrote about her, on Popjustice or anywhere else, we'd be bombarded with emails, messages and comments from outraged people. Here's one of the most recent.

 

"Lost all interest in the article after Alexandra Burke was branded 'rather pointless' and Diana Vickers was inexcusably labeled 'totally brilliant'.

Billy, London"

 

We find it funny that in many instances the same people who bang on about Diana Vickers' lack of 'substance' and 'proper talent' have, bizarrely, been the same people who've beaten her down by banging on about trivial, superficial distractions: she moves her hand around. She sometimes doesn't wear shoes. These are hardly grounds for a call to the pop police. Sometimes Michael Jackson wears a glove and walks backwards, sometimes David Bowie has a lightning flash on his face, sometimes Madonna gets herself a new frock and calls it a reinvention. That's what popstars do when they are on duty. We think it is safe to assume that Diana Vickers probably puts a pair of shoes on when she goes to Poundland. Perhaps people don't want popstars to behave like popstars. Perhaps those people should GET OVER IT.

 

Affected? Everyone on that show is affected. There's nothing unique about what Alexandra, Eoghan, or JLS do. They study their idols and they spew it all out again. Nobody on any of these shows has ever been an original talent. Everyone copies - at least Diana chose to copy some unusual singers. And the voice? We like her voice, as it happens. Not the strongest voice, but with a nice tone. The live singing thing is a bit of red herring, anyway. There's no denying the British public expect live vocals in 2008 in a way they didn't in 1998 (nobody complained when Britney lipsynched ten years ago, for example) and the odd swing towards fetishising this concept of muso realism is, ironically, almost entirely thanks ('thanks') to Popstars, Pop Idol and The X Factor. But really. Let's be honest with ourselves now. How much of a popstar's job actually involves singing live? Half the time singing 'live' doesn't even involve singing live, and if you think your favourite popstar was performing at that last arena date totally without vocal assistance then you're likely to be sorely disappointed. Lovely National Sweetheart Cheryl Cole is on the judging panel but managed to totally bollocks up her live vocal on 'The Promise' a couple of months ago. Should she be sacked from Girls Aloud?

 

Finally, the news just in: in eight years of reality pop shows, none of the finalists has been quite like Diana Vickers. Being different is different from being great, of course, but it might have made a nice change.

 

Anyway now that Diana is out of the competition AND NO DOUBT ON HER ROAD TO AN AMAZING SOLO CAREER we are putting our voting weight behind Alexandra as a win for JLS is a win for Louis Walsh and Eoghan is clearly a horrible and terrible little $h!t who would bring about The End Of Music if he won.

has anybody got the MP3 version of Diana singing 'Hallelujah'?? (Audition or if the HQ version (that we will perhaps never hear now :cry:) if available Thankyou! :P)
"AND NO DOUBT ON HER ROAD TO AN AMAZING SOLO CAREER"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

 

Get Ready to eat those words Mister :P

LOL she isn't bad and am sure her first album will make Top 10 but I just don't see long term for her, I can like see a niche market for her doing gigs at uni's and festivals like Glastonbury etc but I just don't see her as like having a huge chart topping career
