Simon Cowell has been offering his opinion on the final two X Factor contestants and reading between the lines, it sounds to us like he is backing Joe McElderry to win.
In an interview with The News Of The World, Simon admitted that he likes Olly Murs and thinks he ‘could do really well’ but he then goes on to discuss how he would manage Joe’s first album if he won.
When asked about Olly Simon said:
X Factor contestant Jamie Archer has exposed his fellow competitor Joe McElderry as a coke addict!!!
Of course we are referring to the beverage, not the class A drug.
Jamie told The Sun said: “He can’t go any given day without drinking three or four cans and he gets in a mood if he can’t find any diet coke.
First she was being pursued by Aston from JLS, then by fellow X Factor contestant Olly Murs and now reports claim that Stacey Solomon is romancing Joe McElderry.
The pair were snapped out shopping together yesterday and fans have speculated on their touchy feely behaviour on last week’s Xtra Factor.
Lucie Jones was singing with a sore nose last night, after she sustained a hit on it from a flying tambourine.
During a rehearsal for the acts group performance last night, the singers were told to throw their tacky white tambourines in the air. Unfortunately, Joe McElderry misfired his and it flew straight at Lucie Jones face.
Lucie’s grabbed her nose and shouted: “Ouch! What the hell did you do that for? It really hurt.”
Big Brother star, Charlie Drummond, has admitted that he is backing fellow Geordie Joe McElderry to win this year’s X Factor.
Charlie told The Shields Gazette:
“I’m backing Joe 100 per cent, and I’m so pleased he’s in Cheryl’s category as well – Geordies together.
AGE: 18
LOCATION: South Sheilds
OCCUPATION: Student
Joe still lives with his family in South Sheilds; he started singing a few years ago after playing around on a karaoke machine.
Here is a sneaky wee video of Joe McElderry performing at this year’s X Factor bootcamp.
Simon Cowell is unsure if Joe’s rendition of George Michael’s ballad Praying for Time was good enough, though it sounds pretty great to me.
Just in case you missed the big X Factor kick off tonight, or perhaps you want to remind yourself how brilliant Danyl (and Stacey and Joseph) are, then we have brought you Unreality TV’s top three pick of the night. Enjoy the clips below and leave your comments in the box as always.
This weeks X Factor première features some truly awful acts but one singer who actually manages to impress the judges is Joseph or Joe McElderry from South Shields.
Joe auditioned in Manchester earlier this summer and from the moment he started speaking, he had a fan in Cheryl Cole, who seemed thrilled to speak to someone from her home town.
