Diana Vickers’ blog catch-up: TBWML

Hi guys!

First up, I just wanna say THANK YOU again for everyone who came to the tour and I really hope you all like the new single and of course the video!

Right now, I’m in Ben’s Cookies eating LOADS of…cookies! I’ve just had a few Australian phoners and met with Molly Meldrum for an interview, which was really great. After I’m done here, I’m going to do some more song writing with Chris Braide. Last week I wrote with Nerina Pallot and we put a cool song together J

I’ve loved your reactions to The Boy Who Murdered Love video so far! I really wanted to get across the theme of the song in the video, but in a gentle way – that’s why we introduced the animation. I didn’t want the theme of the song to be too ‘in-your-face’, so the animation was used to soften it out. The director (James Copeman) sent me a read-through and I looked at all his past animations and just loved his work. It was all so creative, soft and lovely. 

I had so much fun making this video and it was actually quite easy to make – I only had two costume changes! The bedroom scene was the longest, taking around an hour and a half. It was a beautiful day and we had a beautiful boy in the video too!  The only difficult bit to film was when the arrows fly towards me in the video. It took a while to get the timing right, but the director worked around me and the way I moved.

When Perez Hilton put up the video on the site I couldn’t believe it. It’s SO good because he has such a huge following and he’s lovely. He’s been contacting me directly on Twitter – he’s just so lovely and I feel very lucky to have a well-known voice behind me.

I can’t believe I’ve been nominated for a clothes show award either! It’s incredible that I’m up against people like Daisy Lowe – it’s crazy. I’m looking forward to tomorrow night as well, as I’m going to the Glamour Awards and I can’t wait for that!

For the rest of the week I’m writing some more, I have phoner interviews for Asia and Australia and I’ve got a friend visiting me from home J

I’m really looking forward to V-Festival too – I’ve never been before, but I’ve heard it’s such a great festival, so I can’t wait!!

Talk soon, love Diana x
