Diana Vickers



Diana Vickers (born 30 July 1991) is an English singer and stage actress who came into public attention after finishing fourth in the 2008 series of British talent show The X Factor. In January 2009, Vickers signed a record deal with RCA Records, and released her debut album Songs from the Tainted Cherry Tree with them in May 2010. She later parted ways with them in 2011 due to "creative reasons"; she is currently unsigned. Her second studio album is expected to be released sometime in 2012.

Diana has released three singles: "Once", "The Boy Who Murdered Love", and "My Wicked Heart".


 * B-Side: Each of her singles have one: "Sunlight" (Once), "Cold Kiss" (The Boy Who Murdered Love), and "The Way You Say It" (My Wicked Heart).
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer
 * Cover Version: Diana recorded her own version of "Hit" by The Sugarcubes for her debut album.
 * Darker and Edgier
 * Digital Piracy Is Evil: For some reason widely circulated on file-sharing sites and spammed on warez sites.
 * Europop
 * Lyrical Dissonance: If you can ignore the happy-sounding production, the song lyrics will shock you.
 * Manly Tears: "Music to Make The Boys Cry" expresses her aim to evoke these with her songs.
 * Mondegreen: Diana's particular style of enunciation often leads to this, such as during her cover of Take That's "Patience", which has been subtitled for your convenience... to the best of the subtitler's abilities.
 * There's more where that came from; here's Diana covering the seminal Blondie classic, "Corned Beef".
 * Oop North: Diana comes from Blackburn, Lancashire.
 * Refuge in Audacity: Too vast to describe, but she's been doing it this way since she was 16!
 * Refuge in Vulgarity: Takes it Up to Eleven
 * Retraux: Diana's fashion style embodies this trope.
