She can sing reasonably well but she's nothing special. I think she's deliberately adding more and more yelping/yodelling as the contest progresses. It'a a shame her fans cant see there's not much else to her.

what else would we want?

At last someone mentions something the X-Factor is meant to be about.... unlike the Diana's Acolyte's who religiously vote for her no matter how bad she is.

You mean she doesn't wear shoes and does weird things with her hands?

the X factor imo is about much more than that, and as was said she had a bad week we know shes better than that and was ill. She got votes from her fans because it would be crap without her. If she carries on with below par performances then I wont vote for her

If the X factor is a little quirk that she adds to every note then she certainly does have that. It was appealing at first but now she's doing to every line adn every note, its tiresome and very UN-original

Has any one noticed she only gets one solo line in the Hero's single? I wonder what that was all about considering she's so special and such a great singer?

Of course they don't the X-Factor is a karaoke show when you get done to the basics. It's there to find talented singes that can be developed in popular music acts.

Well that's what would be if people understood what the show was about, and you forget all the manufactured rubbish about the finding the "X-Factor", which not even the Judges understand or can explain, primary because it doesn't exist.

Interesting question.

It annoyed me when Simon was criticising Alex for lacking originality. In this show the acts are required to sing cover version of songs made famous by well established artists. On just about every occasion they have to sing the song with the same arrangement as the original. Given that I ask the question, how much originality can anyone expect?

Personally, I'm not looking for a great deal of originality, I'm looking for talent. I feel Simon was talking a lot of sh*t when he was criticising Alex and was only doing it to destroy her confidence. In the first few shows Diana DID show some originality but since then I think she's shown that she much more limited than we were expecting.

Theyre looking for someone who can make them money, a great singer (which she is) and also the full marketable package and they think shes it and so do I along with many 1000s

yeh it is X factor after all, your right. And I wish Alex could have given more, I really loved Candy man and if she did something like that and wowed me every week Id be on here singing her praises, as for the rest I can never really remember what they sing unless theyre bad. But Diana is the only one thats wowed me, to be honest, unless she wrote her own music though or did some wicked covers I wont buy her album, but I think many would. And for X factor shes pretty damn good really

Sorry to disappoint you she isn't Leona Lewis.

Also, she not going to make millions and millions of pounds. She only has a small market most of which seem to come from the generation that think music is free.

Diana shouldn't win then if she definitely has a record deal when she comes out of the show.
