Diana Vickers - X Factor 2008

X Factor finalist, Diana Vickers is said to be acting like a spoilt diva behind the scenes of the ITV talent show.

She is reported to be upsetting both staff and contestants alike by her constant demands and grumpy behaviour.

A source told The Daily Star: “Diana comes across as really angelic and sweet on the show, but she makes a bit of a fuss.

“Most people behind the scenes think she needs a bit of a kick up the backside.

“She doesn’t like being filmed before she has her makeup done and the constant cameras in the house that the finalists share.”

  8. Holly says:

  9. Jasmin says:

    OMG I love Diana.
    I don’t believe she moans about everything and is grumpy all the time. But if she is, remember that she’s the youngest girl at only 17 and is still a teenager.
    I love her voice.
    Diana to win (or Laura)

  11. Joe says:

    SHES SO PRETTY. AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

  12. dave says:

    sorry about the last comment. it was my immature brother paul.

    she is a very talented singer, i thought she perfomed best on saturday night. i love her take on man in the mirror.

  13. Paul says:

    Diana is a breath of fresh air in the world of stale music, she dares to be different, she dares to be true to herself. I don’t have a problem with that. She has however, stolen two songs off the original artists and made them all her own. The songs are; Man in the mirror – i was in a stunned silence throughout her performance, and With or without you – U2 could never put such wonderful feeling to that song.

    Yes Diana is quirky, thats what makes Diana so special

  14. fiona says:

    my wee bro fancies her..
    she is a wee cutie, shes my fav..:)

  15. Nick says:

    She looks like a Barbie doll lol
    shes so HOT tho!

  16. Millie says:

    diana to win! She’s so amazing, when she sings it’s captivating… just can’t take my eyes off her! With or without you, soo good, could listen to it over and over again! Diana to win!

  17. Phoebe says:

    I think Diana is a really bad singer.

    I don’t think she is unique at all, besides Simon said at her audition that he didn’t like the sound of the Christina Aguilera take-off.

    Personally I think she sounds like a crappy mixture of Shakira and Christina with a muck weaker volume.

  18. clare says:

    I’m afraid I have to agree with Phoebe. I think her diction is terrible and her voice is weak. However, there are obviously a lot of people who like her and the judges will say they like it because they know it will sell. It just won’t sell to people who know what a bad singer is when they hear one. She’s only 17 though, shame she’s not singing in front of people who will tell her the truth. A good singing teacher could get rid of her bad habits and strengthen her voice. Maybe then she’d have a shot a decent career in the music industry. As it is, I think she will be another flash in the pan.

    Diana
    You are great , what a lovely voice , can not wait for you to make your first album.

  20. anne says:

    oh dear

    So, she sounds like Christina or Shakira does she? I think NOT. We have tried to find anyone Diana sounds like…perhaps a little regina spektor mixed with Sinead Oconnor and Delores from the Cranberries. But Christina and Shakira GOOD GRIEF. As for her “weak voice” well she was as ever pitch perfect with a powerful vocal over the big band. And what’s more…you could hear every word. Her diction was that good. makes you “smile” when people talk twaddle. This little girl is totally unique, contemporary, whistful, but no wimp – the voice is strong and clear. So far on stage she has dressed as a perfect role model for modern teens (not a christina midriff in sight thank god), the Peaches look mixed with shades of Twiggy in the Boyfriend. Clever styling maybe, but its a breath of fresh air. Theres no pleasing some people, unless you sing flat and dance about to overcome your weak vocal, or reduce louis walsh to – CROCODILE tears (now that did deserve a prize next tv awards show…best emotional ham up). So obvious it was almost funny. But not for poor Scott who suffered for Louis obvious determination to take a swipe at Simon with his vote. Shame on you Walsh after all you said about Daniel previously and did we see a small triumphan gloat a few moments later?!. OF COURSE the guy put a lot of passion into his wife’s tribute, but Scott must have known he was up against that emotional card before he started. No wonder he was so downcast. But it’s meant to be a singing competition and only one of the two sang in key.

    I Think Diana Does Have an Amazing Singing Voice And She’s Gorgoues But I Doubt She’ll Win As Shes Not Really commercial Enough Unfourtunatly, And Remember, XFactors Only Issue Is Making Money.
    I Wish Her All The Best Though :)
    xo

  22. Joe says:

    I think Diana is absolutely ace, as soon as she opened her mouth on first live show, it blew me away.
    She’s a proper northener, and LOVE the accent. Diana to win xxxx

  23. Cuticake says:

    anne – whoever is gonna read ur thing and not get bored must have a hell of a lot of patience! I cant even see wat ur on about lool

  24. Jay says:

    Urgh get her out, unique voice because she’s unable to pronunciate???
    Are you kidding?
    Laura or Austin to win!
    Diana is wrong on too many levels! Put the hand down and walk away from the mic!

  25. dan says:

    everyone dissin diana can shut the f**k up, i dont see any of you goin on x factor bein that good and gettin that far!? so stfu coz she’s mint :D xxxxx

  26. ricky says:

  27. Rachel says:

    love the way u dress :) Rach xx

  28. ava says:

    Yes Diana is quirky – but so are old ladies who smell of wee! She reminds me of a bad karaoke singer.

  29. Brenda from Blackburn says:

    COME ON DIANA !!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!

  30. Imogen says:

    I know anything I say against her will just be shot down, but I SERIOUSLY disagree with the whole ‘her voice is so unique’ thing. It is REALLY not. I’ve sat through many secondary school ‘talent’ contests with hordes of teenage girls trying to sing in exactly the same way as their ‘fave singer’ and I’m telling you, they all sound the same as her- disjointedly squeaky and breathy, singing with their throats closed, sounding like Andy from little Britain. Say ‘I want that one’ to your self and then sing ‘And it was all yellow’ and you’ll find you sound exactly like she did on Saturday. There is no talent to the way she is using her voice, I can do exactly the same with my voice (I‘m just not as beautiful as she is ((and don‘t get me wrong I REALLY think she is stunning)). Ok if that’s what people want to hear, fine, If that’s what makes a successful singer. But any of the girls I have watched singing in front of my school in the Christmas concerts do exactly the same voice.

  31. fern says:

    imogen if any of those teenagers that do sound like diana are rlly just like her then tell them to go on x factor love coz if there anything like her then they will have a contract quicker than u can say I’M JEALOUS

  32. Imogen says:

    Lol you won’t believe this, but a couple have, and we all knew they would come back dissapointed, and did. They just aren’t pretty enough! It’s really quite unfair.

  33. flipper says:

    Sorry guys…it’s a no no, yep her voice is definitely different. Even is she gets a contract she won’t be around for long, she’ll fade in and out just as quickly. Yeah she’s lovely and pretty but guys she just can’t sing and when she does, it’s damned flat !! There’s far better singers out there who the public will pay to see, she ain’t one of them, she’s another five minute wonder !

  34. kd says:

    where was that dress from that diana wore on nov 22nd, when she was singing PATIENCE by take that.
    would appreciate it, if anyone knows.. thanks

  35. Caoimhe says:

    I am in P.5. Our class sent letters to celebritys,I wrote mines to Diana.I picked her because every celebrity is stuck up but diana isnt i really think she shuld win the x factor.
    i hope diana replys.

    GO X FACTOR/DIANA

  36. shirley says:

    Does anyone know where Diane got the long red dress she wore on X Factor on Saturday 22 November?

  37. sheila says:

    hey does anyone know where diana got the black dress with the silver detailing at the top, she wore when singing ‘everybody hurts’?

  38. Lucy says:

    I’d love to know where that dress was from too! the silver/white beads at the top? from saturday 29th, it was gorgeous!

  39. Now I know she’s going to be a star – if people bitch about
    her it means she’s a SOMEBODY – I know, because I work in the
    theatre – if they bitch about you, it means you’re good, if they
    say you’re NICE, it means you’re dull.

    Besides, haven’t you noticed how MANY people are talking about
    her – one and a half million hits on YouTube for her “With
    or Without You” – ’nuff said. She’s a star already!

    Hang on…..first thing Diana is a fake and the illness thing proved it all, i think thats when the public turned agaisnt her. Second thing she has been booted out…..thank god…she cant sing its screachhhhing and she looked god dam ugly on saturday. She isnt unique and theres no market for her…in fact her and owen!!! shouldnt even of been in that competition, good singers lost there place because of them kids! Goodbye diana vickers

  41. leefy says:

    Bull….I have too agree, as lovely as she may be, excellent singers lost a chance because of the wibbly wobbly warbler…..sorry guys, she will always be a no no …..
    Well said Bull, honesty is always the best policy
