  15. 15

    Sarahaha wake up dumb ass!!! Ofcourse that is Diana, don't forget the picture on the left was taken a few years ago



  16. 16

    The new look, is MUCH better. Something about her old look back then always bugged me. The highlighted hair was much too light for her complexion, it washed her out.



  17. 17

    The Big Titty Blonde Piggy.

    Re: SBFREAKSgirl925 – Hey Hot Stuff!



  19. 19

    She looks like a typical Long Islander woman.



  20. 20

    I prefer the one who's 15 minutes was up 3 years ago.



  21. 21

    look at her eyes and eybrows…yep its her…wow she has matured, I wonder if her voice has also…



  22. 22

    I love the dark look - it looks more like she embraces her ethnicity, instead of trying to cover it up.



  23. 23

    She is awesome and a very good singer



  24. 24

    EW It's Diana DeGarbage! I always hated her!



  25. 25

    i like the old one.



  26. 26

    She looks great both ways but the darker do looks more mature and more natural. She is a beautiful girl.



  27. 27

    Definitely the dark-haired. It makes her look more sophisticated.



  28. 28

    they dont even look like the same person….wow



  29. 29

  36. 36

    Wow, she looks fantastic! She should have won AI that season instead of that screeching Fantasia person who made my ears bleed every time she sang.

    37

    SHE LOOKS GREAT HOT HOT HOT LOVE HER



  38. 38

    we have friends in common….hung out with her at a bar downtown atlanta…

    BITCH

    I have pictures if you want them



  39. 39

    Darker….with the blonde she was just too pageanty.



  40. 40

    dark hair all the way! she looks fab!



  41. 41

    Well, the dark hair is a bit extreme, but she is amazing!!! I got to see her do Penny Pingleton in HAIRSPRAY on Broadway and she was AWESOME! She turned that role upside down!
    I hope she gets more roles on Broadway!!!



  42. 42

    Ewwwwww….on both pics.



  43. 43

    dark is better for sure



  44. 44

    She looks hard, not like a 20 year old. When will young girls get it: Trying too hard makes them look old, not sophisticated.

    45

    i wanted her to win when she was on. her record wasnt too shabby. why did she dissapear?



  46. 46

  48. exBFF says – reply to this


    48

    is there an option for D: None of the above?



  49. 49

    Does anyone else notice her eyebrows in the right picture? It is the better picture of course, but her right eyebrow looks…hmmm…shall we say interesting?

    Re: ShereenGeorges
    I couldn't believe nobody mentioned that before. That was the first thing I saw.



  51. 51

    the 'After'



  52. 52

    did you guys know, that she was asked to try out for high school musical when it first came out???

    who's regreting that now!



  53. 53

    She is looking much better now. Basic black is always a good bet. I always thought she was quite hideous, but this is a step in the right direction. Wow. That sounded like I actually care.



  54. 54

    i still don't like her
    anyway u made a spelling mistake
    sorry im just like that



  55. 55

    I prefer the one that shuts her pie hole and gets off my TV screen. She's been blabbing all over about Jennifer's Hudson family tragedy. UGH! Get a life, Diana!



  56. 56

    Dark



  57. 57

    When I saw that pic on People.com and it said "Diana DeGarmo" I was like 'Oh, whoops, typo! Seriously though, who is that?' Heh, I still can't believe it!



  58. 58

    I thought the person in black was Lucy Lui!



  59. 59

    New!



  60. 60

    I prefer the invisible one, you know, the one where i don't have to look at her ugly face. yeah, that one!



  61. 61

    looking great!
    she looks hot as a brunette!
    another 10 lbs n she will be a knockout!!

  62. tetzy says – reply to this


    62

    She's still jailbait so no, I wont comment.



  63. 63

    WHO CARES?????



  64. 64

    She probably feels more natural with the dark hair - i seem to remember her mentioning somewhere (is that vague enough for you? LOL) that she wasn't really feelin' the blonde! She look s really exotic on the right! Is she still singing??



  65. 65

    dark hiarr

  66. Daxie says – reply to this


    66

    What a classic beauty! She was fantastic then and will always be fantastic!



  67. 67

    Diana looks great with the darker hair. If anyone has Howard-TV. Check out Diana when she came on Howard b/c Eric the Midget showed up for his first in studio appearance. She was so cute. Great body!!!!



  68. 68

    i actually like the chunky version go figure



  69. 69

    I saw her in New York, she plays "Penny" in Hairspray on broadway. She was really amazing and definately made a funnier penny than Amanda Bynes!



  70. 70

    Wow, she looks nothing like she used to. Crazy. I think she looks great either way.



  71. 71

    She looks much better now! A whole lot slimmer, and the hair looks classier. No more schoolgirl hair!



  72. 72

    dark haired diana 100% improvement!



  73. 73

    darker hair. she looks less of a bimbo.



  74. 74

    I prefer whichever one is the first to GET NAKED!!



  75. 75

    Dark Hair, more mature definitly. I liked her better than fantasia or whatever! but the best idol rarely wins so…
