Did Take That make Diana cry?

21 Nov 08

Gaz marks out of ten!

Young Diana Vickers hasn't had the best of times on The X Factor lately, but few things are more likely to make a gal smile than a date with pop royalty Take That - or so you'd think!

The contenders each underwent a one-on-one masterclass with the band's Gary Barlow and Mark Owen on Monday, with tips being specially tailored to each wannabe's needs.

But whatever they said to 17 year-old Diana Vickers, whose throat problems have caused a troublesome two weeks recently, nearly made her cry!

She told us exclusively, "I got really emotional at one point and started choking up"!

And the dastardly words that caused that reaction? There weren't any - the northern lass was overcome by their compliments. Diana grinned, "They were being really nice about me"!

The trio got on like a house on fire and Diana called her masterclass "Amazing".

She grinned, " I was like, 'Oh, my God!'"

"I was too young for the whole Take That era - my sister was into them. She's older than me. But I'm really into their stuff now they've come back".

A positive masterclass reaction doesn't, however, mean the pressure is off for Diana.

She told us, "When I found out we were singing Take That songs, I thought, 'Oh my gosh, I'm going to ruin their songs"!

"But when I got my song, I was like, 'Yay! I like this!' I was really pleased."

Can a voice like Diana's really tackle Take That? Have your say!

Dianna has got a unique amazing voice, and as someone mentioned she doesnt dance, this as a singing contest and not a dance contest. The fact that she does not wear shoes on stage, well it's what ever makes you feel comfortable, I remember Sandie Shaw in the 60s diden't wear shoes on stage, and that diden't go against her and I was only a kid then, but still remember. All so the fact that ruthe sang when she was not well and still sang, well Dianna had laringites and you ca'nt sing with that.

First Laura and now Rachel gone both of whom I had thought were the best singers. This year's contest is the pits! I am very very disappointed in who is left. Diana is the only unique one left. No doubt next week Louie, given the chance will vote Diana off!! JLS are weak and should have never made the final. This is not about talent it is just pop stars. Boring!!

Is it just me then? This girl sounds exactly like Kenneth Williams and "sings" through her nose. Her performance tonight was masked by backing vocals and a very loud musical accompaniment. Everything she sings sounds the same - whiny and nasal
