The Daily Mirror has this story on it's front page too.........there is no doubt that if diana had just stood and mimed on saturday, she would have still got VOTED through. Just wonder though.......a) if somebody developed a 'throat' at the Semi Final stage, would THEY get a bye to the final?... And b) when ruth had her sore throat the week before, had she been allowed to take a sickie would there have been uproar from rachel and austin fans saying they shouldn't have been in the bottom 2?

Did she do Disco? Call me by Blondie can hardly be called disco. And its hardly a singers song is it? Deborah Harry coud never be described a great vocalist. I think the rave reviews she got were over enthusiastic.

Who knows? I dont think her illness was as bad as made out. And as I said before, I think she's already won the contest so if she came out, was rubbish and still sailed through it would have look a bit suspicious.

Any of the finalist could have gicven as good a performance. As I've said, its not really a singer song is it? Its not a song that requires a great singer like say Walk on By.

I agree with you and Louis, both of you are right that "Call Me" wasn't a disco song.

After all Blondie themselves were pioneers in the new wave and punk rock and not a 1970's rubbish disco band.

I can see both of them singng it. That song does not need a good singer.

As for making it her own. I have to disagree. If anything it was a carbon copy vocal of a song that's not all that hard to sing anyway.

Not really they would have looked silly

As for Diana's version of the song she made it her own alright, by sounding like a cat screeching out "call me" as it fights with the other cats late at night.

Actually I thought Diana looked like someone from Fame, dressed in red and that lol and with the headband as well, though it was a good look for her.

No, I sort of gone off her voice, at the start it was like a breath of fresh air, but now it has become annoying. It's the way she goes in and out of key on nearly every note.

Like I just said a bit like a cat in a cat fight.

If this was Daniel how different would this thread be?

Diana has turned into a parody of herself now anyway. She was brilliant until the live shows, shes only done 2 good performances and overdoes the quirkiness.

Blondie aren't disco, but the track itself was. It was produced by Disco producers and has been included on Disco cd's.
