Diana 'Gutted' she can't sing Hallelujah
10 Dec 08
Diana Vickers admits to disappointment over winner's song.
She sang the track at Bootcamp, where Simon Cowell told her, "You made that song your own".
It is no surprise, then, Diana Vickers is devastated that she has no chance of releasing The X Factor single Hallelujah, after all.
Sad Diana told us, "I've left The X Factor, but not releasing Hallelujah is probably what I am most devastated about".
"I really, really love that song - I have wanted to record it ever since I can remember - now the chance to do that is gone".
In fact, the week before last, Diana did have the chance to record the song - as well as make a video for it.
She said, "It is weird to think there is a version of me singing the winner's song somewhere. Recording it was an amazing experience. I can see myself now, standing there singing it, thinking, "This is how I want to live all the time".
"Now the song is gone. And unfortunately, we don't even get to take a copy home".
Despite her disappointment, Diana is being philosophical about it all. She said, "Four of us recorded it, but we always knew there would only be one winner".
"I was prepared for this. Honestly - I was prepared".
The hardest thing of all, however, might be listening to someone else sing 'her' song on the radio from now on.
"Hallelujah is one of my favourite songs in the world. It is my heart. The lyrics are absolutely beautiful."
"But when I hear someone else sing it on the radio I will be gutted. There will always be mixed emotions when I hear it from now on".
