Well the X Factor final aired last night or the first part of it anyway….which surely makes it the X Factor semi final, but that’s not what ITV are calling it….anyway! As well as the three final acts – Marcus Collins, Amelia Lily and Little Mix – returning to the stage to sing for survival, we were also treated to performances by Michael Buble – it was rather average – Leona Lewis – we liked it but many Johnny Cash fans did not – and a funky mashup courtesy of JLS and One Direction.
The X Factor mentors also got involved in a way that panelists never have before and Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contosatvlos and Kelly Rowland each took to the stage and sang with their last remaining act.

Michael Buble is back….again! He has performed on The X Factor more than many of the show’s former contestants and tonight he returned to the ITV show, for yet another live performance.
The Canadian singer is a favourite of show boss Simon Cowell and this evening he took to the stage in Wembley Arena, as part of the first show of this X Factor final weekend and belted out….

Some details of the lineup of tonight’s first part of the X Factor final have been revealed and it has been confirmed that Leona Lewis, Michael Buble, One Direction and JLS will all take to the stage this evening.
While bosses have saved appearances by Coldplay and Westlife for tomorrow night’s live show, this evening Leona Lewis and Michael Buble will deliver solo performances in between the contestants’ efforts, while – as previously reported – JLS and One Direction will team up for a duet of two of their biggest hit singles.

ITV have confirmed that British rockers Coldplay will be performing on the X Factor final next week.
The ‘Fix You’ hitmakers – consisting of Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion – had previously claimed that they would never appear on the ITV show but must have changed their mind, as it has been reported that they will duet with one of the three finalists on next Sunday’s show.
The grand finale will be staged in Wembley Arena and also in the linup are former show winner Leona Lewis, former runners up JLS and One Direction, along with Canadian crooner Michael Bublé.

Michael Buble has performed on The X Factor more times than some of the show’s contestants, but the crooner has admitted that he has always had a bit of beef with show boss Simon Cowell.
The Canadian star claims that the music mogul once destroyed his confidence on stage, after he rolled his eyes while Michael sang on American Idol. The star was performing ‘Call Me Irresponsible’ on the hit Fox talent show, when he saw Cowell give the bored expression and it was enough to shake him to the core.

Now before you all start attacking us, we really are big Michael Bublé fans but tonight, he was really quite pants.
The Canadian singer took to the stage in the Manchester Evening News Arena for the annual Children In Need Rocks concert but his tuning was not up to his usual standard at all.
The newly wed performed his hit single ‘Haven’t Met You Yet’ and we don’t know if it was because he followed Lady Gaga, who totally rocked with her rendition of ‘Born This Way’ and ‘Marry The Night’, but we were quite disappointed by his vocal performance and his stage presence.

Simon Cowell has reportedly chosen some new X Factor judges.
The music mogul is said to be determined not to take part in auditions for the UK series in 2011, as he wants to pour all his energies into his new American version of the singing show. However he doesn’t want the old one to fail and The Daily Star reports that the music mogul has approached some very famous stars about joining the panel and helping choose talented singers for the live shows.
The newspaper says that Cowell has lined up Take That star Robbie Williams, Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and Canadian singer Michael Bublé – all of whom have been great supporters of The X Factor in previous series.

Well it’s time for us to eat some humble pie as we admit that we were wrong about Michael Buble.
The Canadian Heart-throb appeared on Sunday’s X Factor show and sang his new single ‘Hollywood’. We (and many other bloggers, fans and twitter users) were sure he was miming the track but speaking on Radio 1, Buble has refuted these claims.
He told Scott Mills:
