Diana is a Michael Jackson fan definitely, and I love all of his records.” She also said that though the song was not her type, Diana had made an extremely beautiful version of the song.
None of the other Michael Jackson songs sung by Diana’s rival contestants re-entered the charts.
Ann also said, “She loves the Beatles as well as Michael Jackson.”
Diana is the 7/4 favourite with bookies after two of the judges commenting that she was the contestant to beat following three of the most captivating performances on the show.
