Bouncing onstage like a ball of energy, Diana Vickers kicks off with new single ‘The Boy Who Murdered Love’. For the next 55 minutes Diana holds centre stage at the Waterfront, with backing band pushed as far to the back and sides of the stage, allowing her to jump around, endlessly playing and ruffling her hair.
You have to give Diana Vickers credit, whilst most people have been on X Factor have stuck to the tried and tested X Factor path, Diana disappeared straight after X Factor to work on her album, only coming out to appear in a play last year. She worked on creating something with more substance than the usual pop rubbish. The songs are edgy and quirky.
Her performance is almost perfect, never missing a note. She interacts well with the audience, able to relate to them, as the audience is pretty much all the same age as her or younger. Stand out songs were number one single ‘Once’ and her cover of Snow Patrols ‘Just say Yes’ a song which was written for her, but then Gary Lightbody decided to take it back to use for Snow Patrols new album.
The only disappointment is her set lasts only 55 minutes, which seems very short considering the £12 ticket price.
