With or Without You…
October 11, 2008
Maybe you folks are much like myself and don’t watch any of those “strictly-come-dancing-on-ice-factor” type shows. In general I have a certain distain for them but shows like the X-Factor in particular hold a high reservation on my hypothetical list of dislikes. There’s just something about “televisually tailored pop sensations” which grate on me a little. Nonetheless, I found myself watching a little bit of the X-Factor this evening. I never really expect to be blown away by anything in particular but, needless to say, tonight was a little different. Meet Diana Vickers…
I was discussing her performance with a friend shortly after the broadcast. You see, while this young lady is better than a lot of artists period, never mind contestants on that show, I almost wish that she would just pick up a great contract from some sincere studio rather than getting sucked into the X-Factor machine. I hope she is allowed to remain the kind of person she seems; honest, genuine and indiviual, character traits that are reflected in her wonderful talent for singing.
With or Without You,
Jim

I love Diana. I cried (twice…) when she got through to the lives. Now if she could just do a little less hands and work on her diction a bit more… She’s a little superstar though.

To be fair, she annoyed the heck out of me by the end. That hand thing. Seriously.
