I know she wasnt everyone's favorite. I criticized her all the time last year, but I really thought, she would be the break out artist of that bunch. NOt in terms of the show, she wasnt always the best performer, but i thought she generated the most amount of interest, and has so many fans.
I thought she could be a really good recording artist, but time is running out. She had to have something out by this year.

Is there some type of contract thats preventing her from releasing an album? I dont get it. Just wondering.

Shes currently the lead role in 'Little Voice' in the West End and has an album out in March

OK! Thanks. Didnt know about her west end stuff. Good for her.

Courtney, she actually do have a really nice voice. She just wasnt cut out to do the week in week out Xfactor stuff imo. And her studio recording voice, is really beautiful, if you listened to any of them. :)
I think if given a chance, and the right management, producers, she is a Gem!

Well she's doing that play and she's got an album coming out early next year. She's doing quite well for herself.

to be fair, she hasnt got a very good voice.:D lmao
she covered herself up with screaming the highh notes in her song...
even though,, i was just listening to her on YouTube, comparing her to Danyl,singing 'man in the mirror'
Danyl just .... RULED it, man/!!!! :D

Ugh Danyl's was a karaoke version, it was just overblown and boring. Diana's was a lot more subtle and better.

When Diana had big screechy songs she was awful, but when she had quieter ones she was quite good. I think Cheryl ruined her and in the end she turned into a parody of herself

I mean this was nothing like her until the end

I thought she also did an amazing ob with Man in the Mirror. I know I am a biased MJ fan, but I usually hate all the overs of his songs. But I really liked hers, because it was very different. Only the singing tough, disregarding her movements. :)

As already mentioned, she's the lead in 'The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice'.
I went to see it for my birthday and she was incredible, she belted out classics by Judy Garland, Shirley Bassey, Marilyn Monroe and Lulu and always sounded fantastic. If she'd belted like that on the show, she'd have been recognized more for her singing talent.

Also, her first single, 'Once' is released in April, co-written by Cathy Dennis. The album should follow after that, and she's been working with Patrick Wolf, Guy Sigsworth, Nerina Pallot, Lightspeed Champion, Ellie Goulding and someone who's worked with Bjork and Madonna. Another track title floating around is 'Survive'.
A song of her's leaked earlier this year called 'Jumping Into Rivers' which you can find on youtube, and was then given out on her official site for free download if you want a preview of what the album may be like.

Ugh, I'm too obsessed.

She's going to be huge next year!
Like everyone said she's in LV, and she's performing to amazing reviews (I dont think she's had a bad one yet), and she's working on her album which is due out in March/April.

So did Diana.... You only latched onto Danyl because Jedward left, you wouldn't have liked him otherwise.

Quite simply no, Danyl lacks subtlety. He can only do big booming performances well which doesn't bode well from a recording prospect. He had to resort to the same big note at the end every week to get through as the other two minutes of his performances were dull as dishwater.

No she wasn't. Alexandra was boring, Diana was magic. Had it not been for her laryngitis she would have walked the series.

Firstly, i always liked Danyl, from the VERY first time i saw him:)

The girl can stay, but the hand's got to leave.

I wasn't a big fan of Diana but on that particular night she really did get it right. Still though, her voice was pure affectation and it became jarring to me after awhile.

Deirdre

13-12-2009, 01:56 PM

She might have had a better voice, but she's the exact same as Leona Lewis and we didn't need two Leonas. Diana should have won because she was completely different and had something quirky about her, which is what the X Factor looks for, something extra.

Wildcat!

13-12-2009, 01:57 PM

Alexandra was MUCH better than Diana!

I was rooting for Alex, JLS and Laura last season. I thought they were the best acts, in terms of Xfactor. And fair enough Alex won. I think she deserved it, and was the best live performer.
But I am pretty sure Diana has a lot more life in her, long term. I thinks he will establish herself more subtly and slowly. But will have a long career, if she ever get a breakout hit. Thats always the key.

Stacey.

had it not been for her laryngitis, she would have been out sooner :joker:
That kept her in another week - very unfair to the other contestants.
the show should have been delayed until the next week,, and 2 people should have left! :spin:
Better idea,, i think because the weekkk that she 'skived' she might have gone then.
Also, The Person That Left Could Have Won. :/.

She'd have won if it wasn't for that week, up until that point all her performances was highly rated. She never really recovered from missing that week.

Courtney, Every point you've ever made on this forum has been shot down and proved wrong by nearly everyone here. You're just doing it to piss people off and it's working, along with Patrick you're probably one of the worst members I've ever seen on this website. Some children really shouldn't be allowed on the internet.

I never really paid much attention to her until this year, I was too busy supporting Eoghan last year.

But after watching some of her performances back I really like her, and i'm looking forward to the album next year :)

Early favourites NEVER win. Diana was an early favourite. Alexandra never became favourite until about week 8, and there were a few weeks when she wasn't far off the bottom 2. She was very 'meh' until close to the end. If it hadn't been for Listen I don't think she would have won.

Thats definitely true. Listen, won it for her in the final. I think Eoghan had the tweeny vote (very powerful), and jls imo, where the best act overall. But that Listen performance, was just ridiculously good.

Jack_

13-12-2009, 02:17 PM

I definitely think Listen won it for Alexandra, it gained her a surge of votes.

If it hadn't have been for that JLS would've taken it no problem, or even Eoghan considering he won 6/10 Live Shows. His fans were just outvoted by Alexandra's and JLS' towards the end.

It literally was down to that week, people didn't like that she got a bye into the next round, she topped the votes on the week she came back but then she lost support after that. If she never had Laryngitis she'd have won or made the final.

X Factor isn't about the best singer, the best singer has only one twice so far. and plus you can have a good voice but not much else. Look at Leona, brilliant voice but dull as *****. The reason why Diana was so loved was because she had the whole package. A good unique voice, good stage presence and a great style of performance.

All Danyl could do was scream loudly.

The Laryngitis is what literally screwed her over, you're only saying I can't use that because it's the truth, She'd have been in the final if not for that.

Yo man!!! WTF??? Why dnt you lot leave courtney alone? SHe is just a serial stireer! :laugh:

Ermm, the thread is about Diana Vickers1
ANd no one answered y question,is there some rule for the xfACTOR candidates, to not realease albums early? I know, she wouldve contended, in this years christmas releases, if she was allowed, knowing her huge fanbase.

She'd have been lost in the shuffle I think. Her album is gonna be big I think and she'll probably end up being an album artist rather then a singles based one so I think they just want a clear week to launch her on.

The problem with releasing an album quickly is that it'll be rushed and plus most X Factor albums that aren't winners albums tend to be full of covers. Dianas taking her time because she's got real potential.

13-12-2009, 02:26 PM

it should have been the 3 girls in cheryls group (alexandra, diana and laura) in last years final, that would have been a great final night, but the public ruined it, although i will say jls did do a good job in the final. cant say the same for eoghan.

Most X-factor stars rush albums out? Eoghan released one about three months after the final :\

Diana wanted to take time with her album and it would probably have been out around this time, but she took time out of recording and writing to do Little Voice, hence the delay.
