Just found a You Tube clip about that Diana girl, I don't actually have any idea who she is but thought it was quite funny, it's about her rather bizarre singing style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBvlwkHOxCQ&eurl=http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/blog/article/75328/&feature=player_embedded

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I'm sure she wasn't singing "ship" in the last song.

Nor was I, I thought she was using a word I'd use to describe her musical talent...

Jokes jokes, I thought she was really good. Surprised to see her go, I thought eoughnuoen would get booted off. Oh well, he'll go first next week no doubt and Alex will win.

owen (w/e way he spells it) has been the top vote every week apart from last week when alex was top according to DS

Hmmm I'm torn between who will go first out of JLS and Eoughen. I think my prediction is bias because I prefer JLS but I'm sticking to my first bet that Owen goes. Regardless, with Dianna out Alex will defo win.

X Factor is such a joke this year, if Eoghan wins I may explode in frustration.

Then again, he does provide hilarious clips for Harry Hill (vote for me face).

Yeah. That little forlorn face really made me laugh. I stand by what I've said previously, Alexandra is the best singer and is a decent performer too.

Glad that Diana went tonight, although I think think this was her best week. Alexandria is brilliant and I still think she will win but I just love Eoghan, he's so cute!

i agree i think Alexandra will win. alhtough JLS are good as well and will probably come second - does anyone know what the winners song is this year?

Thank God diana went. Felt really sorry for Eoghan, getting in such a state he couldn't even speak to Dermot.

There is some scandal surrounding Alexandra apparently this week - not sure what though exactly.

I did read something about this - her ex boyfriend claims he has a sex tape of her - the article explains it better than i can

Rumoured performers on Saturday's show are Boyzone, Seal, Beyonce and Duffy- who will perform with who?

I presume Boyzone with Eoghan, although Louis may have got them with JLS, but to me that sounds like too many men on a stage!

That leaves JLS with Seal, and have already heard that Beyonce was rumoured to be singing with Alexandra, so where does that leave Duffy? I guess she must have been booked for Diana before they knew the final three...

I'm sick of these rumours about Eoghan and Diana that have been going of the past few weeks. It's so annoying, they never dated during the show. They went out for fish andc hips or mcdonalds or to the cinema and they made it out to be a date and then the media started rumours that her boyfriend had dumped her to make the story sound more plausible. It's so annoying too because people believed it.

Is that you Diana? ;)

Apparently Take That have pulled out of the final because of Boyzone, I don't know why. Can't say I'll miss seeing them again.

Apparently Simon has accidentally confirmed Eoghan and Diana's romance by describing them as "two young kids in love", although he could just be playing the media in classic Cowell style.

I think they are, judging by Euoghsefen's reaction to Di leaving last week.

Nati square eyes. I've been watching lots of TV tonight. I thought Alexandra's performances were magnificent this evening (even Hallelujah which I had been skeptical about) and I'm so pleased she won. How lucky was she to get a duet with Beyonce though?

That duet was purely magnificent - quite possibly one of the greatest duets I've ever heard. It sent shivers down my spine; they should release it as a single.

Her version of the song was excellent, it really seemed to come from the heart, and I shed a few tears during the course of the show (hormonal female hehe).

I'm not that impressed with the arrangement, the song really doesn't need a key change!

For me, JLS lost it during their performance when they were smiling- I understand that it must have been a great moment and a fantastic experience, but Hallelujah isn't really a song that lends itself to cheesy grinning!

Well done, Alexandra, but the fawning all over Beyonce was a bit much. Cringeworthy.

also, can someone please replace Dermot O'leary, because I'm really get fed up with his flippant and uncaring attitude. Get someone else.

If you really want to see Flippant and Uncaring, they can hire me next year :P

    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
