X-Factor fans - possible spoiler

alison76, 7 November, 2008 at 14:35 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 23

Apparently Diana might not be singing in the show tomorrow:

This really doesn't seem right to me (not least cos I can't stand her - Simon was right when he said she is the singing equivalent of marmite).

Thinking back, Rik Waller had to drop out of the first series of Pop Idol as he had a throat infection and couldn't sing - Darius took his place. Why should it be any different for Diana, if it is true.

    I might be wrong but didn't Rick Waller miss one week then had to drop out the next because he still couldn't sing?

    I dislike Diana, I get that she has a good voice but it's not my thing at all. I'd also like to cut her silly wiggly little hands off and stuff them down her throat....

    That's a shame. I actually really like her!

    I think Rik Waller was replaced when he missed 2 shows, not just 1.

    Aha, just googled and indeed he missed the first week of live shows and then was replaced for the 2nd week.

    I still don't think it's right - let's lose Diana and her annoying squeaks at the end of each lyric and her hands.

    It's convenient it's Mariah Carey week, I think she would really struggle with it.

    Well, marmite she is then, I also really like her.

    If she does have to miss a week though, this Saturday will probably be to her benefit. While I love her voice I don't think she'll match up to the big balad Mariah numbers required this week.

    Ugh, I hate Mariah - they'll be far to warbling going on this week for my liking.

    isn't is funny too that all these singers get laryngitis and things like that, it's never just a normal cold ?

    I was thinking that too Duckula ? Cynic, moi?

    I like Diana but just wish she'd get over the high heels thing. She finally had shoes on last week and then sat down all the way through her "disco" track. I felt cheated!

    As for the hand wiggles... I'm sure Brian Freedman can train her out of that ?

    I'm with Maxi on this one. I wish Diana would keep her hands still but I prefer her to Mariah Carey!

    She couldn't walk in them could she. Does she have a phobia or something?

    I 'get' her sound, though not so keen on her look. I hate hate hate her f***ing hands though!!! Whenever she's on I pull silly faces and twist my hands around, until MrMG gets cross with me. He luuuuuurves her, after the 'shorts that make it look like you're looking up my skirt at my knickers' pose last week ?

    Didn't Ruth have a sore throat last week - and was told tough luck, sing?

    She sounds like she's straining to get her voice like that anyway. It's probably a throat infection from putting her dirty fingers to close to her mouth ALL the time.

    I like Diana a lot. I wasn't sure I would, but I do, even though I've had a bet on Alexandra to win ?

    I'm not entirely sure she does the hand thing on purpose though, some people don't realise they're doing stuff like that and when they watch it back they're gobsmacked.

    I'm not surprised that some of them get throat infections/laryngitis [sp] though, it must be tough singing every day when you're not used to it and sharing a house with a bunch of strangers probably doesn't help ? Or am I just being naive and she's pulling a fast one? ?

    I remember at the beginning of the shows/bootcamp that when I saw her sing, she always threw her head up into the sky at the end of a note. That, to me, is a sign of a badly-trained singer. OK, so a lot of them have had vocal coaching, but she's really picked up some bad habits along the way..

    If you look at any divas out there, they either dip their head down the lower the note, or at least stay with their heads level. Kicking your head back is The Worst thing you can do for your vocals.

    But then again, I could be completely misinformed, so don't take what I say as gospel.

    Anyway- interesting voice, HATE the hands, find it slightly convenient that she's not performing tomorrow, considering Ruth had to last week, and the week before when she (Ruth) was in the bottom 2, she'd been sick all day etc..

    I don't like her voice. My faves are Laura and JLS. I did like Rachel until last week's performance. Terrible.
