Im not making excuses I like her voice and the screeching and yelping

Diana's got a type of voice that normal X Factor fans won't understand sicne it's not a pop voice. If she wasn't in the x factor she could have become a big indie songstress I think. Her voice has got the 'perfection in imperfection' vibe that's present in a lot of indie acts.

If she was an Indie artist then most of the discussions about her would be meaningless. But this is a singing competiton and I dont believe she is a strong enough singer to have made the final 12 in a singing competition.

I agree Dezzy, I think some people don't like it because we have never heard a voice like that on the X Factor.

Its called X-Factor so that Simon Cowell doesnt have to pay Simon Fuller for the rights to the idea for Pop Idol. Other than that its a singing contest and she's not a strong enough singer to still be there.

I think it's kinda unfair to compare Alex and Diana in a way since they are apart of different singing disciplines. You wouldn't compare Whitney Houston with Laura Marling since they do completely different styles. Alexandra wouldn't be too great at singing the Blower's daughter because her voice is too belty while Diana would fail at a big belty song because her voice is suited to Lo Fi affairs. In Alex's performances it's her amazing voice and diva-esque perfroamcnes that give her personality while with Diana it's more stripped down, it's just her voice and one or two instruments. They're just two different to compare. Both are amazing though.

I agree again Dezzy lol you talk sense

yeh you dont have to be technically perfect to be a good singer either Imo

Just to say, that if there is any SHRED of credibility left of this year's XF, after Saturday's travesty of justice, then Alex HAS to win.

Have you seen anyone put in TWO performances like that in the same show? If so who?

She's going from strength to strangth. She sang two completely different type of songs and adapted her performance accordingly to give two completely different types performances. She was awesome on Saturday. She did something that no one has ever previously done on X-Factor. Even Leona.

no i havnt actually seen TWO perfomances like that:

Toxic- Ruined a perfectly good song
Listen- made a good ballad sound boring

Well in your opinion, but the majority find that Alexandra was the best of the night on Saturday, Toxic was amazing, at least that wasnt boring and had the best production than any other performance. Listen was really good, she was great singing it so

?!

I'd just like to pick you up on a couple of points - none of Britney's tracks are good songs in terms of lyrical ability, all of Britney's career is based on the performances she gives - Alexandra gave a performance on par with one that Britney would give. Did Diana, Eoghan, JLS or Ruth manage that on Saturday? No they did not.

If you think that her version of Listen was boring, by default you think all ballads are boring, thereby negating your argument - ballads are slow paced songs, she hit all the notes correctly and actually had variation to her voice.


I just don't get why people feel the need to rubbish the artists completely because they don't like them - I'm not really a fan of Diana or Eoghan, but I don't go around saying they "ruined" songs.
