Actually Diana is one of my faves' but her hand movements are getting far too irritating now.

If you read the whole of this thread you will see quite a few saying the same thing.

Yeah but I don't see why people are getting so upset about something they see for 2 and 1/2 minutes a week, still if Diana is in the final they'll probably look past the hand movements by then

I like her hand movement but agree she needs to tone them down to a few per song.

To some of you who support her and claim that comments here are just of people who want her out of the way because she's a threat to others, I think you're getting this soooo wrong!

Myself (and everyone else commenting here, I'm sure) actually respond to her hand movements just because we do care about her, and actually WANT her to succeed!

And beacuse we want her to succeed and want to be her fans, we just wish she will get rid of this unnecessary habit, so she could gain a greater success!

Its the shoes (or lack of) that drives me mad. Put on your faking shoes girl!

grrr her hands i ruddy hate em!!!
I wish she would stop i find it sooo aggravating to watch her and rachel are the 2 people i have to walk away from the tele when there on i hate them!!!!

chop em off..

I think she is trying too hard to appear quirky - the hands and the bare feet are starting to feel like a gimmick. Diana had a purity about her in the auditions, but her purity and naturalness are disappearing under a wave of annoying gimmicks. I think that might be why a lot of people are irritated...she isn't doing what we hoped she would do. She isn't being herself - just a mishmash of Doloros O'Riordan, Kate Bush, Cilla Black and Haysi Fantayzee!!

and mr blobby imo

LMAO! That's exactly what I was thinking during the 'Hero' performace.

even in the hero she only performed about 2 lines and i saw more hand movement in them 2 lines than the others in the whole song!!

i have not liked her from day 1 and dislikes are stacking up & up lol

Katie is dreadful - Diana and her bizarre hand waving any day.

Katie Who can sing? You're not talking Katie Melua are ya? She couldn't hold a note in a tin bucket!!

What a truly, refreshing discussion this is for a chan... oh no, wait, hold on. It's not. It's more bitching about Diana.

Yawn.

I wish you were a bit more bright, then perhaps you'd understand that it's not about bitching - it's about giving a constructive advice for her own sake and success.

with all due respect, even if she didnt move her hands or wear heels people would still find a reason to have a dig, bet my bottom dolla on it.

goes alot deeper than that, people have just see evryone critisising her for those 2 things and think "YEAH!" imo, its because she is so popular

Even for that split second she was onscreen in the 'Hero' performance her hands were there. Was so funny.

:yawns with misshollywood:

I wish you were a little bit less condescending and didn't feel the need to have personal digs at another poster.
Also, you should possibly have considered that my post wasn't directed at those who were genuinely put off by hand movements, singing style and so forth and was actually aimed at those who were bitching just because they can't stand her popularity or whatever and need someone to snipe about.
You should maybe take more time to think about all possible meanings behind a post and if you feel it's unfair, then take time time to ask the poster why they seem to be including everyone in their statment.
I would then politely inform you that this time, it was not the case.

it'll be interesting to see if tonight she tones it down. surely xfactor insiders must read these forums.

I completely agree with you ! I am trying my hardest to like her.. because lets face it she is talented and is probably going to win But i just can't.. theres something incredibly irritating about her !

Oh no, guys, she is standing..
