Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue return with new judge Cheryl Cole for another series of The X Factor. This is our X Factor blog with all the latest X Factor news and gossip and opinions.
Susan Boyle gave X Factor bosses a fright last weekend, when she turned up to do her performance sporting a new bright red hair colour.
The Britain’s Got Talent star reportedly tried to dye her grey hair at home, but messed up and ended up with vibrant red locks. ITV bosses called in top hair stylists to recolour her hair before she went on TV.
On tonight’s Xtra Factor Holly Willoughby claimed that Stacey Solomon is the only remaining contestant that hadn’t yet found herself in the bottom two acts. However, being the eagle eyed reality TV buffs that we are, we knew that the gorgeous Joe McElderry hasn’t found himself in that position either.
John and Edward Grimes have finally been voted off The X Factor, though how got onto the TV show in the first place still baffles Unreality TV.
The boys have been a massive PR coup for the show, because love them or hate them you can bet that most of us talked, wrote, tweeted or facebooked about them.
Susan Boyle performed her debut single, ‘Wild Horses’ on tonight’s X Factor results show. Well actually she pre-recorded it yesterday but we’re not ones for splitting hairs.
Unreality TV have never really been aboard the Susan train, she sang well on her first Britain’s Got Talent audition but the hype ran away with her and we never felt that she lived up to it on subsequent performances. However this song is goose pimply stuff, she had a couple of wobbly moments during her vocal but we’ll put that down to nerves.
Wham week wasn’t quite an inspired choice on Simon Cowell’s behalf but I always did love the track, ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go Go’. Tonight the remaining six acts performed the song for the opening of the X Factor results show and our first thought was, these people need to learn how to lip synch a bit better. Some of the boys were so out of times at places that they could have been singing a whole other song!
Ah campy pink and yellow colours and pure cheese performances. Yes, it really was an authentic take on cheesy 80’s pop.
On tonight’s X Factor Mariah Carey performed her newest single ‘I Want To Know What Love Is.’ It is the second single to be taken from her 11th LP Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel.
We’re back, we’re severely hung over and we’re liveblogging X Factor! Yay! Thanks to our Primetime writer Lynn for her brilliant coverage of last night’s show – her comment about Dermot, “I would wreck that dude” has had me in stitches more than once today!
As always, follow us on this post and leave your critiques and comments below.
So, the beautiful thing about tonight is, we really don’t care who gets booted. I’m just here for the Susan Boyle performance and to see what Mariah Carey’s boobies are wearing.
And we start with the ensemble performance. Ah, campy pink and yellow colours and pure cheese performances. Do you remember the days of fluorescent colour schemes? Oh yeah, they were singing Wake Me Up Before You Go-go.
And then we get a few minutes of gloating over the various X Factor chart successes – Leona’s album, the charity single, etc. We segue directly into a recap of yesterday’s performances.
After recording her performance for tonight’s X Factor show, Susan Boyle reportedly advised John & Edward on how to deal with the negative press they have received.
“She spoke to them about her experiences and especially how to cope afterwards,” a source told The Daily Mail. “She also talked to them about some of the bullying comments she got from people before the final about her appearance.
The X Factor charity single, ‘You Are Not Alone’ has scooped the number one spot in the UK singles chart.
The single, in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital, became the second-highest selling single of the year so far after selling 193,000 copies this week.
Judge Simon Cowell told the Official Charts Company: “I’m very proud of the single and I really hope it raises an enormous amount of money for people who really need our help.”
Mariah Carey is reportedly planning a £10,000 champagne party for this year’s X Factor winner. Mariah has already pre-recorded her performance for tonight’s result’s show and so impressed was she with the staff and contestants, that she wants to do something special for the winner.
A source told The Daily Star Sunday: “She’s been really impressed by everyone on the show and thinks whoever wins deserves to feel like a superstar.
X Factor twins John and Edward Grimes are reportedly being frozen out by the other contestants from the show. After the departure of talented singers like Lucie Jones and Jamie Archer, the acts are beginning to take their frustration out on Jedward.
An insider told The Daily Star Sunday: “The boys are really starting to feel like everyone hates them.
“They have been Public Enemy No.1 for weeks but the house was always their safe haven. But now they are also feeling the brunt there too.
Danyl Johnson’s mum has blasted Simon Cowell and The X Factor today, claiming that they have set her son up to gain extra publicity for the show.
Maria Burgess says that Simon Cowell has favoured Olly Murs over her son from day one, giving him better songs and routines whilst Danyl is just used as tabloid fodder.
Speaking to The Sunday Mirror Maria said:
Danyl Johnson’s diva like behaviour, is said to be having a negative effect on the other X Factor acts.
A show insider told The News Of The World that all the drama surrounding Danyl’s song last week, meant more time spent on his routine and less on everyone else’s.
They said: “This is bringing everyone down. Tensions are already high enough but it’s not right for one contestant to take so much attention.
X Factor singer Joe McElderry has insisted that after weeks of judges sending the show into deadlock with their indecisiveness, the public should be allowed to decide what way the show works from now on.
Judges were unable to decide on a act to save for three weeks running and Joe told The People:
“I cannot comment on the deadlock situation.
“But I think the public should be allowed to choose the format of the show.”
A former bandmate of X Factor’s Danyl Johnson has claimed that the singer has always been prone to diva like episodes, but insisted that he does feel remorseful afterwards.
After Danyl had a hissy fit over his song choice for this week’s show, Tim Bland, 27, who sang in boyband 2Tone with Danyl told The People: “I’m not surprised Danny walked out on Wednesday. It reminded me of all the times he threw a tantrum with us.
“Danyl is like a pressure cooker. He allows the stress, which is often over something minor, to build up for a long time and then bang – he explodes and all his anger floods out.
