I want Diana to sing "Nothing Compares 2 U"

She sung that at Cheryl's house thingy, and it was really good.

I personally think its another slow song, same type as she's done throughout the auditions, and live shows! And they have the nuts t tell Alex she is predictable? Is there anybody more predictable than Diana? I dont think so! Bet you wont hear the judges call her on it!

The thing is though is that she's doing her own version of the songs she's done. Alexandra's good, amazing in fact but she's stuck to the same arrangement for most of her song which gives people the impression of another 'Mariah/Leona/Whitney' type singer.

Of course, she did I wanna dance with somebody, and I'll be there, they can only be the same arrangements! Have they said that to Leona, when all she did was Mariah Carey, Celine dione, whitney houston songs, and didnt change any arrangements of them? NO they havent, because she was their chosen winner! They are not consistant! Diana has sang in the same tempo since her first audition! thats like 7 songs!

It was different with Leona though, We'd never had a contestant like her before she came along. Now Alexandra's through to people she just seems like a Leona Lewis Version 2. While Diana's very different to what's ussually on the X Factor.

Finally, the arrangement to ANYTHING can be changed anything can be made to sound different, it doesn't matter if it's a whitney song or a Mariah it could still be made to sound unique which Alexandra unfortunately lacks AT THE MOMENT. She needs to find her own style.

Diana does stick to her own style but what makes her good is that she can change songs that wouldn't be considered suitable to her to make them suitable. That's why she's loved. She's unique.

If you're so adament that the arrangment of those songs can't be changed, she shouldn't have sang those songs. Someone who has a similar voice to Whitney Housten singing perhaps a more contemporary song, or something unexpected would make her stand out more than singing songs sung by people with similar voices.

I'm glad some of her fans are starting to get sick of her predictability.

She put me off on Saturday, I'm not as much of a fan anymore. It was just samey and I actually thought she was off key and unable to hold notes properly throughout the song.

You're right.

It wasnt as great a performance as the judges said. The quirkyness in her voice hid some of the problems. I cant wait till Disco week. Then we'll truly see she's a one trick pony. It dont matter though, her army of fans will still vote her through.
