But thats not on the show (as you implied) and most mime on GMTV, they have to. I don't know why but they aren't allowed to have people singing live all the time. And the talent show miming came about way before X Factor- even back to Popstars.

On the show =

Oh I knew about that one (and forgot about it) but its a group performance and not for votes, again as you implied the contestants mimed for their votes.

I didn't imply that, I said why would you get a winner and then make them mime.

I read it wrong- but as I said theres something which makes the majority of the performers on GMTV mime, its nothing to do with Alex's management. Thats a bad example, but I'm not saying she won't mime ever again.

Yeh I lose respect when people start miming, I can just imagine all the horrible things X factor producers said to the contestants to make them mime. If I was in their shoes and I was told to mime I would say no, but I can imagine they say 'If you dont mime we can make it so you leave this show' or that could of been why Ruth and Daniel never appeared on stage.
Its all very very fake... and my friend got quite far in sharons group and ended up going to her house, and she says its not all as it seems. No contestants mean to give sob stories but editing a 10 min talk to the camera, thats always what they seem to use.

People were saying how she was original and we've never had anyone with her sound on this type of show before ... but theres her in that pink tshirt and her who won Fame Academy (but flopped). All 3 have similar sounding voices

Its not meant to be a anti-Diana thread though

No they dont they are totally different?
Susanne and Alex both have husky voices.

Eh? No she doesn't.

[Tom]

She does.

[Billy]

She really doesn't.

[Tom]

She really does.

Their voices don't sound completely the same but if they were signed up they'd have a similar sound. and Diana is husky.
