Diana Vickers - Cabaret Scene from Little Voice 2009/2010

[philmott101]

The role of Little Voice was written for Jane Horrocks, she used that routine to warm up before performing. So inevitably she's better at it. Diana Vickers uses too much 'throat closing' sounds to mimic, not real mimicry - however shes much better than I thought she's be, and her body language and expressions are captivating.

[YoursTonight]

I was so dubious about her in this role but shes actually pretty effing goood!!! the transitions...the impressions!!! As someone below mentioned..Jane Horrocks boots were big'uns to  fill but she sounds really good here!! xxx

[rushofblood994]

Face it, she's not amazing, though I'll give her her due - she tried. But her Judy is shit. If you want to put on a West End show, get a West End singer, not a X Factor runner up. She only got the role because of her name/popularity.

I saw Little Voice the other night, and the girl (Lauren Hood) was amazing. You don't need to be Jane Horrocks to play the part, but she didn't deserve this role, and I honestly don't think she pulled it off.

[Minilyzer]

@rushofblood994 I was stunned by Lauren Hood's performance over this week when she's been in Oxford. Just so impressive!!

[rushofblood994]

@Minilyzer She was really fantastic, I didn't think anyone would be able to live up to Jane Horrocks but I think she did! It must be so hard for the actors to match the likes of Jane Horrocks and Brenda Blethyn from the LV film, but I'll give them their due - they were really impressive.

[AMGmusic]

Impressive stuff! She demonstrates some really good vocal technique across the various different pastiches. It's easier to learn them 'within' a song, but I hope that she'll one day use them more generally and really open up that sound!! She often sings with such a closed throat (Kermit).. but I still think she has a wonderful charm.

I love her first album, can't wait for her second. Controversial? Only when talking to chavs or teenagers!! Hah!

[methodicalflash]

Her Edith Piaf impression is abosolutely bob on!

[MATTY0MOO]

Such an amazing Shirley too!

[MATTY0MOO]

This is such a difficult part to do anyway, let alone when you have such a distinctive voice. I think she does it so well!

[baybeehanhan]

she is defo my guilty pleasure

[Terrye29]

she fab voice but she sound like kermit the frog at point x

x

[aicnel]

she's absolutely AMAZING!

i didnt know that shes such an amazing singer :P

i can listen to it over and over again!

btw can somebody tell me the name of the fourth song? pls

[Evelyn4eva]

This was the best thing I went to see all year!! She just absolutely took my breath away and her final song - sunlight - made me cry x x

[92RedRevolver]

That edith piaf is amazing.

[madcowfrommars98]

a-mazinggg!

[GottaLoveShowbiz]

That Julie Andrews impression is bloody awful!! Julie sings in long, clean phrases and Diana isn't even singing the proper words or tune!! That is the worst impression of her I have ever heard!! It's so bad it's sacrilege >:(

And the other impressions are pretty rubbish too!

[Tsukiumiyuri]

@GottaLoveShowbiz

You haven't seen the show. Your arguement is invalid.

[GottaLoveShowbiz]

@Tsukiumiyuri No, true, I haven't. But I have seen this clip and this clip (in my opinion) is very bad! Its just my point of view, I am entitled to it.

[jane3eyre]

was Edith Pilaf in the original script in '92 - or was she added after the success of La Vie En Rose?

[ailee241]

Her voice reminds a little of Leann Rimes. I think she would suit singing country-style songs.

[alexdeejune95]

well this is hilarious,, in a good way.

she is so funny.

and she can belt. she needs to show that more in her songs :)

x

[Super1d10t]

diana vickers doing judy garland = kermit the frog.

jane horrocks = love :)

sorry...i liked the julie andrews song by vickers though.

[BillzProductions]

I think she's so cute.

[Thisismevotingsaxon]

I love her. Her voice is incredible. And i love how practically everybody who sees this, who thought she couldn't sing before, changes their minds :')

[cosmiccoolgirl]

Could someone please tell me the names of the songs in this, and the order too please? Thanks :)

[justanothervoyeur1]

@cosmiccoolgirl

???? - marilyn monroe

????

i have confidence in me - julie andrews

goldeneye - shirley bassey

je ne regrette rien - edith piaf

[cosmiccoolgirl]

@justanothervoyeur1 Thank you very much :D

[leeauty]

i fucking love her. so electric

[leeauty]

i fucking love her

[leeauty]

haha kiss my arse simon cowel. watch this girl go

[aimeeeeLOVESYOU]

ahhhhh! she was so amazing when i went to see this! i want it to come back out again! or if they make another version of this film so have her as LV again! gahhhh! i wish the whole thing had been recorded! <3

[mrsspanner14]

Sorry - not a patch on Jane Horrocks :-(

[Bethywethy6]

My god! I've always loved Vickers, but i never thought she was capable of THAT. Wowza.

[dicky85]

Her impressions of Judy Garland and Edith Piaf are embarrassing.

[DevonSawaFan]

I think shes an amazing singer anyway but i never knew how good her voice actually was:O is it her actually singing wen she does the diff voices and that?!

[Evelyn4eva]

@DevonSawaFan yup! She was incredible!! x

[xZoexA]

@DevonSawaFan yeah its her singing when she's doing all the impressions :) I went to see the show last year about and it was amazing

[MisssAay]

@DevonSawaFan Yeah its all her! I went to see the show it was amazing! just shows how talented she really is :)

[SarahhJayy]

She's a singer, and not only a brilliant singer. She's a good actress and comedian lol She's great x

[caitlinnno9]

I normally hate Diana Vickers, because I think she sounds like Zippy from that programme 'Rainbow' but I actually think this is quite brilliant. She makes a good LV.

[KirstySpencer1991]

@KathLFC10 Can't you tell that the voices in this video are put on? It's called a stage voice. She's impersonating different singers, not using her voice. You can even hear the real voice in this....she doesn't have a horrendous croaky voice. She has an amazing unique voice. She just so happens to be able to impersonate other singers, which just shows the talent Diana has.

[campfiretales]

Diana Vickers is amazing :O

[jerems0410]

Her impressions are pretty impressive (no pun intended). Although nobody can do a proper Edith Piaf impression.

[zstclair]

@sumeet1992 :))

[zstclair]

@sunmeet1992 Isn't it a nearly immaculate copy of Marilyns interpration of this song?

[J0RD2K7]

shes incredable <3333333333333333333 xxx

[Lukester15]

OMFG how actual frigging AMAZING is Diana doing all these performances and voice impersonations of whatever!? :O shes totally blown me away with this!! :|

That song she sung at first takes me right back to memories of school shows, cause people used to sing that song a lot for them :) haha!

Thanks for uploading this! everyone should see this cause it shows how amazingly talented, not to mention how stunning, Diana actually is!! :D

[xprincesssbeccax87]

Thanks god shes getting voice coached by someone new, she was awful when she was on the x-factor it was a forced voice. Shes amazing now

[robahmet1]

wow she is actually quite good at impersonations

[NatalieJ1996]

she is amazing

[LucyAliice]

The Julie Andrews one is AMAZING :D

[pixylovesyou]

She is Fabulous and is a credit to the music industry I have no idea how she didn't win X-Factor. She so different. I hope she goes far and achieves what she want x

[xZoexA]

@pixylovesyou I think the reason she didnt win was cause she was different :/ wich sucks cause to me she was by far the best! She was Amazing in Little voice!! im sure she will go far :D xx

[Bethabobble]

I don't know how people can't be impressed by this! Nicely done Diana! And, to all those who think it's rubbish because it's not the same as Jane Horrocks, why don't you give it a go!!

[pixieroseee]

wow, she did very well indeed!

[92RedRevolver]

@sumeet1992 I think KathLFC10's point is that she clearly has a very well tuned and very strong voice, and she clearly puts on the breathiness that can be heard on The Tainted Cherry Tree.

[tonytiger1964]

Ok, so Diana doesn't do as well as Jane Horrocks who had a lot of assistance and much more intense training coupled with film editing, but the sudden changes in character and voice take immense talent, for all those on here who critisise, where's your award?! Come on, let's see you jealous Kates do better!

[Evelyn4eva]

this was one of the best parts in he play! cheers for putting this up!! x

[thesquashedfrog]

@KathLFC10 The whole point is she sings as other people. And you can hear her natural 'croaky voice' creaping in at points.

[misstillyrosie]

She is different I like that. I don't understand why some people want her to sound like all the others out there...

[Radi0oHead]

I didn't know she could sing like this *_*

[ChannelTin]

YOU CAN SEE HER STRUGGLING NOT TO DO 'THE HAND' HAHA

[snowbell010]

Fantastic!

[minimegz]

I'm not sure her impressions are that good (compared to Jane Horrocks who always seemed to be spot on) However her voice is excellent so who cares?

[NiknSaf]

As i didn't see her in LV, this is quite possibly the most random thing ever... its awesome, makes me laugh, it's one extreme to the other... gotta love her! <3

[TheKesster]

Brilliant!!! XD

[AshleeDarlingx]

i saw this live and she is absoloutely amazing!! i love diana :) x

[snowbell010]

The Shirley Bassey was definatly the best!

[nezz13]

woww she has a huge voice! i mean, i love her anyway because i think her voice is so lovely and unique but i didn't think she had that vocal range! also, i love her acting!

[pinuki27]

She has tremendous talents!!!! WOW.

[IceEsscense]

Omg this is amazing! I love Diana!

[xxxsarah1997]

ye ur brilll.

[adamtreanor1234]

I LOVE THIS SHE IS SO GOOD

[SahTrew]

I'm shocked!!!!! I didn't know Diana could sing like this. That was insane. But that looks like a special performance she did for the cameras not the actual show.

[Ayailla]

It annoys me that she can clearly sing. What is going on in her head that she thinks the voice she used on X-factor and her new single is the best way to go? The girl has talent and she isn't using it. *sigh*

[mariaaaaaxxxoooo]

Why couldnt she prove herself on xfactor and show the judges exactly wat she has , Well not that she really needs the sucess now seeing as she already has it , but it would have been good for her to show that she actually has a really good voice :)

[xxxsarah1997]

@mariaaaaaxxxoooo

ye shes BRIL.

[JakemsTV]

im crying with laughter at the edith piaf one.

[baybeehanhan]

pleasantly surprised :) x

[sophyy1234]

amazing!

[loveyoulikeabutton]

Wow she's very good!

I'm only vaguely sure who actually did which song (:S) but I recognise them all.

[zedy87]

I'm really surprised... who knew Diana Vickers can actually sing??!! I thought all she could do was that breathy-squeaky thing, but she actually has a really good voice, the last part was fantastic!

[BubblyBethie]

she's actually not bad. didn't really like her Edith Piaf, but everything else was pretty ace.

[AliceDeeee]

@KirstySpencer1991 i don't why im getting such grief for just saying my point of view. everybody has an opinion,i did not say anything bad about her singing voice and i did not bitch about diana vickers as a person, and no i can't do it better but i've done this production twice and went to see this so i have a right to say what i want without being told that i 'fail'.

[onmytelephone]

SOO GOOOD :D

[gcam85432007]

i disagree with everyone saying she doesnt do the voices well, having seen it lived i was astounded at how similar she sounded like, Shirley bassey and LuLu. she is so talented and such a nice person to meet!

[AliceDeeee]

no, i obviously dont think i know better than critics.who are you to put words in my mouth? it's my opinion and i can say what i want,i was just saying that she doesnt sound like shirley bassey/judy garland & maralyn monroe which is the whole point of the storyline! i did not say she was awful or a bad singer,i said that she fails in sounding like bassey/garland & monroe. @Gyphia @slopezarmada

[loradora454]

beautiful voice!

[AliceDeeee]

the whole point of the play is that she is suppose to sound like shirley bassey/judy garland & maralyn monroe,and diane vickers fails.

[slopezarmada]

@AliceDeeee You obviously think you know more than the critics and of course the Best Newcomer award means nothing. pfffftttttt.

[nktali]

@AliceDeeee i agree. even though she has a unique and good voice, she was meant to copy the exact tone and techniques of those singers and she only did it to some extent...but then again nooone cares. Shes pretty and can act so these little but important details don't matter

[KirstySpencer1991]

@AliceDeeee you fail. she did a fantastic job, you get up there and imitate all those voices then if you can do better.

[amylily123]

Epic!!!!!!!!!!

[psygodnp]

LMAO this is amazing

[rafflessingapore1]

she is better than I had given her credit for..well done Diana

[ThePag09]

This was absolutely EPIC when I saw it in October!!!!! Sat in the 2nd row in the stalls :D And met Diana just as we were picking our tickets up from the box office :D

[SheslikeaSTARx]

I really want them to put the songs she sang in the pink dress up, I know it wasn't meant to be amazing, but it still was :D

[jennyjenjen80]

Just this second seen this vid on her official site, was hoping someone would upload on youtube. Thanks very much.

I went to see her in LV, I couldn't get over ho good she was. Brings back lots of memories. Best night at the theatre EVER

[amsmart1]

AMAZING!

[goldenstrands]

:O oh wow that was amazing! i wish i could of gone to see it :(

[LostPlanet42]

Brilliant video. Brilliant singer!

[BethMcChicken]

I'd forgotten how good this bit was : ) and all of little voice to be fair :D

[slopezarmada]

Totally transfixed. Amazing.

[KDiizzz09]
