I wasn't critiquing the song, by the way.

Just noting that it was receiving widespread national coverage.

As for Diane Vickers ... really pleased for her. To get good reviews for Little Voice speaks volumes to me ... her voice must be extremely versatile, and she has more talent than we originally judged.

Absolutely terrible song completely the wrong sort of thing all that techno crap - she'd be better doing an Alanis Morrisette-Dido cross sort of thing.

There are lots of clips on YouTube of L.V. She didn't get one bad review from the critics, which is nigh on unique.

First night.

It is important to the story, because L.V. is supposed to do a pitch perfect impersonation of those female singers.



:D

I didn't think she would do as well up against Jane Horrocks .. very unfair to compare really. The Director probably recognised this small fault in Jane and worked on Diana to improve vowel pronunciations in song. I'm sure Jane Horrocks would recognise this herself now.

Mind you I know quite a few men who can do a flawless Shirley, Marilyn, and Judy etc.

Well done again to Diana Vickers. She is on the front cover of the Oct/Nov 2011 "DARE" magazine, the "high street beauty bible", produced by Superdrug. It doesnt seem that long since she was on the X Factor, but now she's all grown up and doing very well for herself! She has a Dee V fashion collection out, another album on the way and is now the face of Collection 2000 (make-up).
