Diana's still rough
11 Nov 08


After emerging as one of the competition’s early favourites, Diana Vickers had her world thrown upside down last Saturday night.

First the Blackburn girl was told that she would not be able to sing during Mariah week due to a severe case of laryngitis, and then her best friend in the X Factor house, Laura White, was voted off the show.

Diana has been really down in the dumps since being struck down with the infection, which is an inflammation of the vocal chords, and now her best buddy has gone things aren’t looking better.

The latest news on her condition is that she has been to the doctors for a second check-up, but it still remains unclear whether she will be well enough to perform this week for Best of British night.

Should Diana be given another week off if she is still too sick to sing?

as posted on xfactor site.

Think if she cant make it this week she should leave.

It would be outrageous if she were to be given another bye.

Well anyone who dislikes Diana is going to say no.

I'm going to say open her phone line

A lot of Diana fans on the itv website want her to have another bye

No.

There wasn't much of an uproar because it was just one week but if she gets a bye again, then expect there to be more of one. Apart from her fans, nobody is going to be happy about her having two bye's, especially since Rik Waller was only allowed one

If she can't sing on Saturday again, then the best thing would be for her to leave the competition. She can always come back next year if she hasn't got a record deal by then.

No I dont think she should she had one already and they cant make another rule up just to keep her in. If they do this will back lash on them and Diana IMO.

Whilst I would in no way want to see Diana kicked out the competiton, it would be so unfair to let her through again.

Once was fine, twice would be pushing it. Therefore I say no.

Though I really hope she's better soon.

I suspect no way they will give her another week they may let her back in next year straight to the top 12 which would be fair. I wonder if Laua still showing on Betfair is something to do with this.

No. One bye is enough.
There be a big backlash (deservingly so) if it happens again.

Last time this happened on pop idol Rick only got 2 weeks before he was removed from the show it would be unfair on the other contestants to let her automatically through for a second week no matter how popular she is with the public it just wouldn’t be fair.

They never made the first rule up, the one week bye for serious illness/bereavement is in their contracts.

I am a huge Diana fan but if she's still ill this week then unfortunately she has to go....

Cuz Cowell is desperate to sign her to his label, if she walks he might lose her

As much as I like her, no, she should not get a free pass if she still has laryngitis.

Perhaps open her line up, or autimatically place her in the bottom two? I don't know.

Opening her line up without singing is the same as a bye as she will sail through

I think if they tell her she is out if she dosen't sing, she will sing even if the drs have said no, on the tv it will come over as them making a sick person sing and it would not go down well, that's why they may be considering another bye if needed

No (and I'm a Diana fan)

1 IMO is reasonable (for any contestant)... 2 takes the p!ss; if she can't sing this saturday; she should be out... would probably help her in the long term if she was out anyway as I can't see winning the X-Factor and having to perform one of the dreary winners singles doing her any favours

I think one bye week is fair enough, but not two. It's not fair on the other contestants. It's a shame if someone does have to leave because of being too sick to do the show, but it's not fair to keep giving them weeks off either.

If he's "desperate"he would sign her up regardless.

If she has to leave they should let her stay in the xfactor house though and keep Eoghan company

no shes should go, otherwise you might as well keep the fave to win out and just put them in the final with the other person who slogged their way to the top.


If you were a contestant still in, would you be happy for her to have a 2nd week off.

They can do whatever they want, it's their show.

Having said that I don't think they will or should give Diana another bye this week.
