I think it was last night...could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain of that. I missed it though so I can't fill in the gaps.

Diana chit-chatted, a mile a minute, with Jay, but it was mostly what we've heard before. She looked fine, in a long, black dress. Her hair was down, and well-done. She didn't sing.

Oooh, I love Don't Cry Out Loud. I might have to get it just to get that song. I was too young to have purchased the MM version, but I *always* sing my heart out when I hear it How much do "singles" run, anyway? Speaking of singles, why didn't Clay put out Bridge Over Troubled Waters? I thought that was supposed to be on his CD, too. Will her full blown CD have these songs on them? I'm not that familiar with this "single" CD concept, since I'm from the <gasp> records generation. I have lots of 45s

Highlighter, Clay released Bridge Over Troubled Water with This Is the Night. It was his first single after AI2 ended.

Well, foo. I guess that answers my question about whether songs in the single are included in the full CD......No. Because I have his full CD and it does not have that one on it. Thanks. Is that single still in stores? I don't know if I've ever seen them to know where they are located.

OMG, I can't believe how impressed I was by her singles CD! No one else here gonna comment on it? I liked her better than Fantasia, and I thought Diana had a good voice, but I really bought the CD for DCOL......and was blown away by how strong her voice comes across on all the songs when it is not overshadowed by background music or her goofy attempts to "connect" to the audience. I think she is very very very underrated. I thought her voice sounded so mature and *strong*-I would never in a million years have suspected she was only 16yo. Wow.

I bought her single a few weeks ago, and I agree Highlighter. Her voice is flawless. The one thing I didn't like was the version of DCOL, it was arranged exactly like the original, but of course Diana's voice is superior compared to (Can't think of her first name) Manchester. But, I really enjoyed her version of I Believe and LOVE Dreams!

I thought about Diana today so I searched for news on her. Here is Diana's album cover for "Blue Skies", her debut album out Dec. 7.
Unofficial Track Listing: Cardboard Castles Emotional Blue Skies All I Never Wanted Then I Woke Up Go On And Cry Difference In Me Till You Want Me Dreams Don't Cry Outloud (I think) That's only 10 tracks, so I'm pretty sure there's more. Her first single is called "Emotional" and from what I understand it was a song off of the second UK Idol's album. You can hear it here. (You have to scroll down a bit.) It's not bad, kind of catchy.

Who in the hey writes these songs?! I thought the same about some of Clay's-they start out sooo wordy and take so long to get to the "meat" of the song that it almost ruins it. Sounds so amateurish. Still, I love her voice once she get "into" the song and the song does play up her strengths nicely at that point. Good for her! And thanks for sharing the link because I was awonderin!

I know she will not be in the Macy's parade, but she will appear on the Disney Christmas parade, which is really a full song exposure. I will be interested to see what she sings. So is she what Disney is looking for, now that it's other teens grew up or is she just a little old for that type of thing? Her body indicates she is growing pretty fast.

Diana was on my local radio station this morning and was adorable (and I'm not a huge Diana fan). She was cute and bubbly and entirely appropriate for her age. She sang "Emotional" with a background track and blew the DJs away with her rendition...it is a hard song to sing at best and I'm sure much harder at 8:00 a.m. - there were a few trembly parts (she admitted that) but by the end of the song she was awesome.

Diana sang the national anthem at this weekend's NASCAR race and did a great job.

I guess I need new ears or a new tv because I thought she was less than stellar to put it mildly. I think she may have had a co.

Ketchup, I guess I'm comparing her to other attempts...she at least managed to stay on key and didn't try to "oversing" it like so many other artists. But my favorite singers of the anthem are the trios that sing acapella harmony - for some reason country singers seem to be the best at this.

I'm not implying at all that it is "over" for Diana but it's a tough business. I was at an event the other day where a band was playing and I was thinking to myself that they were pretty darn good. There's a fine line between the few that make it and the many that don't.

I thought Diana asked to be released from RCA. It was interesting because she was not signed by 19 (might have been the vote count), but she was the only runner up not to be signed. He mother was her manager. She does seem tohave a Disney connection, if that pans out, I think she could be quite successful, otherwise she will continue to be an opener for other acts. People make a living that way. I think RCA ave her a good shot because she got to work with good producers, instead of the usual AI stable.

Her album was a shot gun attempt to find her niche. Her age, powerful voice and technical prowess gives her the ability to sing just about anything, and it worked against her in they tried just about everything on one album. If the Disney connection gets her a shot at doing power ballads for a popular movie soundtrack she might score a break through hit there.

Oh, Rabbit, I *hope* so! I thought she was absolutely awesome on the power ballads. I bought her CD and *hated* it because it was just so not what I liked about her voice. It was almost like whomever chose the songs purposely did so to torpedo her. Many of them had her singing in her low range, which she just doesn't do well. Who cares because she has an awesome high range!

I read that she was going to appear in Harispray. I think that this is the play Vanessa Oliverez also appeared, except in Toronto. What confuses me is that I thought there was just an announcement that Diana was going to tour as the lead in "Brooklyn".

Diana sang the National Anthem yesterday at the NASCAR race. She looked very cute (in a Hairspray kind of way) and sounded in great voice. Oversang it a bit, but most people do. She really has matured a lot.
