Di shows her relief after surviving X Factor
Last updated at 12:08pm on 17.11.08X Factor hopeful Diana Vickers smiled with relief as she headed back to the contestants' house after getting through the latest show. The 17-year-old, who had missed a week because of laryngitis, gave a mediocre performance on Saturday, according to the judges, but still won over the public.
Factored in: Diana Vickers outside the X Factor house
She held her head in her hands in despair after singing Coldplay's Yellow and Dannii Minogue said: “I didn't love that song for you.” Simon Cowell told her: “I don't think you are well enough. That vocal was off in parts and you knew it, I can see it in your face.” But he said he had “missed her” the week before.

I can't look at her now without thinking of Keith Lemon's impression of her! Her voice sounded terrible on Saturday ... an out of tune Delores from the Cranberries.

I agree she cannot sing. She sounds like a female Mr Bean. She or Rachel should have gone last week.
I would like JLS to win, it is a shame that Loui is their mentor.

Her performance was awful, I think she is very limited vocally. She doesn't deserve to win.

Diana will walk this contest - she's the only one that is unique. The rest are just clones of cheesy singers. Diana's won X-Factor by a mile. YES!

She sounds just like and as annoying as the singer of the Cranberries (can't even remember that one's name)...Alexandra to win!!!

Totally agree, her voice is terrible. She should be voted out. Alexandra or JLS to win.

No ..... it's definitely not just you, Scott, I think she sounds awful with or without a sore throat!
