I won’t lie I HATE X-Factor. Totally hate it. It encourages talentless folks to be even more talentless. And I was never one for understanding the appeal of Diana Vickers. Her voice irritated me a lot.
Then. She released Once and I was shocked. Her voice wasn’t as annoying as it was on X-Factor.
THEN.
THEN.
She releases this : The Boy Who Murdered Love. (I’m going to swear dear reader) IT’S AN AMAZING SONG, IT’S A FUCKING BRILLIANT POP SONG AND I CANNOT STOP PLAYING IT. I’m not ashamed at all. Not one bit. I bloody love it. I’d probably dance and sing along to it if I heard it when out. I do a really good impression of Diana Vickers. Can I make a career out of it? Maybe I could…who knows.
Anyway. I bloody love this song. To hell with all the music snobbery. I’m not down with that. I can listen to Cold Cave and then Diana Vickers if I want and not feel the need to repent by sitting in my room listening to Bob Dylan. I like what I like and don’t ever need to justify it. More people should be like this towards music.
