There is NOTHING wrong with Diana Vickers.

The problem is that she's trying to compete on the X Factor.

Now... Diana sings very well. So do Tom Waits and Gary Numan.

The reason she's getting on our tits is because, like the other two I mentioned, she has a very distinctive and particular voice. But unlike the other two, she doesn't stick with singing what works for her.

Diana has a voice akin to Bjork. She'd be amazing singing that sort of stuff, perhaps some lazy lounge jazz like Stacy Kent.

The X Factor is about all-round versatility and that is why Diana is faltering here. She simply doesn't have the range to compete effectively. She is trying and the result is the awful wailing we're getting.

Would I buy a Diana album - Yes.

Will she win the X Factor - No.

Diana, Laura and Ruth were my favourites.

Ruth did well with I Love Rock N Roll, which was actually an Arrows song made famous by Joan Jett (who I adore). BOLLOCKS is it a Britney song (Britney was CLEARLY miming, by the way). However, although her version of Always was good, she did better at delivering the emotion with Purple Rain.

BTW - What on EARTH did Laura do to get booted?

I missed that show and IMO Laura was always THE one to beat.

I hope she does some albums.... She and Ruth are the only two I'd ever deem capable of handling songs like Black Velvet.....

yes....yes there is .....she cannot sing. She covers the fact that she cannot sing withthat horrible screech on the end of every line.

People have compared Diana Vickers to Dolores O' Riordan of the Cranberries - what an insult.

Dolores HAS a distinctive voice - Diana Vickers does not even come close.

However - i do agree with you that the X Factor being about versatility - so what the hell is she still doing in the contest?

She can't sing, she cannot dance and she has zero personality.....everything about her, right down to that annoying thing she does with her hands trying (too hard) to make herself look like a lost little girl I dislike.

It was an absolute shame that Ruth was voted off on Saturday - she was brilliant.

Laura didnt do anything wrong to get booted - but Diana Vickers did not sing that week because she had a throat infection - that was totally unfair. If one cannot sing then no one should be voted off.

Britney Spears - hahahahahaha!!

Who the fuck does she think she is? Miming - damn right

She didnt even mentor the contestants this week - something even Diva Mariah Carey did!

Alexandra is the clear winner now - the others dont even come close.

Just signed on to club and thought i,d see what was going on.

If this is a sample of random chat then i,ve waisted my time.

Get out a bit more, or get working on your project bike.

Sad bugger!!!!!

Then i suggest you fuck off somewhere else, cos you sure aint welcome here with comments like that.

And who the hell are you to call folk sad?

You obviously have not got the intelligence to take a proper look around before you post comments like that so keep your insults to yourself.

That's no way for a lady to talk, much less one of such high standing in this forum - everything in moderation :rolleyes:

Mind you, I am begining to wonder about you lot - there are two women in my house, and I manage to avoid this X-Brother Celebrightlynot getmeoutofDancingwith Ice on crap, even manage to avoid the soaps too.

Maybe I'm just some kind of wierdo........ I should stay in more and watch TV...

I would have thought that by now you would have known im not one to hold my tongue, and i have neber professed to be a lady - and if the moderation comment was a dig at my status - did you think that i would suddenly change overnight?

No - i didnt think so.

It annoys the shit out of me that in the GENERAL NON YAMAHA chat section, folk talk about stuff - ok this time its crap telly, but so what....and you get some ignorant fuckwit just join up whos only comment is to call someone a sad bugger.

It is damn ignorant and downright rude to slate someone because of what they post so dont expect me to keep my gob shut.

Wooooaaaoooooo....

I shall consider myself well and truly spanked :D

I will leave you all to your "crap telly"

PS - There are 4 winners in X-Factor, and none of them are contestants :lipseal:

Tom Waits "cannot sing". Gary Numan "cannot sing". Mick Jagger "cannot sing". Ozzie Osbourne "cannot sing".

I notice a pattern, here..... All the above people who "cannot sing" have all had several top ten hits, most even reaching No. 1.

She can sing, so long as she sings songs that are appropriate for her voice.

The X Factor does not allow for that level of specialisation.

I'd rather an evening of Diana than a single song by James Blunt. I'd rather James Blunt than any of today's so-called R&B artists.......

so what the hell is she still doing in the contest?

She keeps playing the cute vote and winning the hearts of the public, who are even less reliable than politicians. Notice how she always says how nervous she was before the song. Regardless of how trite it gets, people hear that and go "Awwwwwww", thus securing her votes.

If Ruth were to get her tits out and smile, she'd win.

If this is a sample of random chat then i,ve waisted my time.

Why?

Just because it's not 100% bikes?

What did you want? Tits and Arse?

It's 'anything goes', mate - So long as it's not politics, religion or anything else likely to spark a war, really.

Get out a bit more, or get working on your project bike.

Sad bugger!!!!!

FYI, the TV was on whilst I was making my own leather saddlebags. I *was* working on my bike, so NYAH NYAH NYAH!!! :D

It was on X-Factor because I have a girlfriend and because Ruth has nice tits.

If you need more justification than this, you clearly have never been laid.

Welcome to the grown-up world :D

That's no way for a lady to talk, much less one of such high standing in this forum - everything in moderation :rolleyes:

That was moderate :D

A 'Lady' is usually some prissy stuck-up bitch who'd never touch a motorcycle because it's dirty.

Goff is a real woman, the kind that we mostly only hear of in Old English legends.

I applaud her strength and stand by her remarks.

Mind you, I am begining to wonder about you lot - there are two women in my house, and I manage to avoid this X-Brother Celebrightlynot getmeoutofDancingwith Ice on crap, even manage to avoid the soaps too.

I only have a TV because my other half moved in!!

It's actually her TV, so I don't get a say in what goes on. I don't really care either, but when I'm working in the background I do end up watching whatever she's watching.

About the only decent things she ever does watch is House MD.

and you get some ignorant fuckwit just join up whos only comment is to call someone a sad bugger.

Yes, well you get people like that sometimes.

You'd never believe it, but they do actually own the internet, you see. So, how dare you pollute the bandwidth that they themselves have paid for.......

Alternatively, fuck 'em.

They're doing the online equivalent of coming into a pub, hearing us chatting at a table, calling the whole pub a bunch of tossers, on the basis of what were chatting about and then storming off.

What do you imagine would happen in a real pub?

Exactly - Anyone with enough energy would go out after them, kick their head in, leave them in the gutter and go back to their pint.

Sorry ??

I'm not sure where I was swearing - I did watch loose women today, maybe it's screwed with my mind, and vision.

And you appear to be having a pop at the legendary Tenere, the go anywhere, anytime bike. Oh dear, I actually thought Goff was a little OTT with her rebuke - but as usual (and I can't believe I'm typing this), she's (Oh crist, no, what am I about to do)

RIGHT.

I've ben out my bike, in the freezing snow, it was brilliant, and it's my birthday today, so NO, I'll be having a great night thank you.

PS - still can't believe what I've just said.

As was once said by a man universally respected for having considerable intellect, razor sharp wit and unmatchably well-contrived humour.....

"There is nothing wrong with a well-placed 'Fuck'......"

Stephen Fry.

Now - Fuck off and troll a forum that gives a shit, eh!!

As I said earlier, if someone had the balls to say this to your face, you'd have put them down by now.

You can't virtually deck someone (yet), so all you can do is tell them to fuck right off and hope the Mods boot them.

Yes, our vernacular gets attrocious sometimes, but it's not exactly inarticulate, is it?

I ain't no legend.... I'm just a knowledge junkie who enjoys sharing what he has discovered, while basking in a feeling of intellectual superiority..... Kinda like Stephen Fry with a gun, really :D
