Eoghan Quigg - X Factor 2008
After the untimely and devastating death of Stephen Gately, it seems that fans are eager to get Boyzone back out on the road again. Radio station U105 today suggested, that many are already suggesting possible replacements.
Though I find the whole thing a little distasteful, front runners for the role on a few Boyzone fansites, are said to be former X Factor stars Eoghan Quigg and Shayne Ward.
Shayne Ward must be a real football fanatic! Who else would fork out almost £7000 for a manky old office chair, just because Sir Alex Ferguson once parked his bum there?
The former X Factor winner bought the chair in a charity auction at Old Trafford and was obviously desperate to get his hands on some Manchester Untied history.
Shayne told The Sun: “It was between me and another guy. Sir Alex was going wild and said the chair would go to the next bid.
“I paid something like £6,700 for it. Six years ago I could have bought it from the shop for £6.
Shayne Ward is not concerned about the launch of his new album next year, saying that the record will be ‘100% unbelievable’.
Shayne won X Factor back in 2005 and hasn’t released any album’s since his 2007 ‘Breathless.’ The Manchester Evening News now reports that Ward’s new disc will hit shelves in February or March next year.
Shayne told the newspaper: “Am I concerned? Not really, no. I remember having this talk with Leon Jackson, who unfortunately got dropped.
X Factor judge, Louis Walsh, has claimed that Shayen Ward could still be a star and insisted that he would already be one if his record company had treated him better.
Speaking to The Sun, he explained: “[Shayne's] still on my roster. If the record company got their finger out, he could still be a star.
“He’s recording in Sweden now. But he’s the only person who hasn’t had a fair crack of the whip. I still believe in him.”
Reports are circulating that former X Factor winner, Shayne Ward is to marry his long term girlfriend, Faye Mckeever.
The pair have been dating for six years and The Sunday People reported that McKeever wrote on a social networking website: “Faye is meeting her husband to be”, later adding: “Faye is so happy.”
Lucky girl eh? If it was me being asked, I so would!
Former X Factor winner, Shayne Ward, has risked the wrath of his bosses, Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh, by admitting that he prefers to watch BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing to ITV’s X Factor.
Of course this viewing decision is driven by testosterone and the only thing that keeps Shayne glued to BBC One is the gorgeous Kelly Brook.
Ward recently admitted: “I really fancy Kelly – she’s beautiful.”
Shayne Ward has spoken out about the calibre of this years X Factor contestants, claiming only one of them can actually sing!
Shayne, who was crowned X Factor winner two years ago, said: “I think Rhydian will win – he’s the only one of them who can really sing.
“I like Beverley. She seems such a nice person and has a good voice.
“And you’ve got five good-looking girls in Hope who can put on a show.” Read more & comment »
Former X Factor winner, Shayne Ward, has revealed that one of the best things about being back in the UK is that he can watch the latest X Factor series.
Speaking to The Mirror Shayne revealed:
“It’s great being back in the UK cos it means I can watch it. They have had some hilarious people on this year, it cracks me up!”
Former X Factor winner Shayne Ward has reportedly agreed to appear in a fashion show organised by Supermodel Naomi Campbell.
The pair were introduced recently bu Fugees star Wyclef Jean and hit it off immediately.
A source told The Sun: “Naomi and Shayne got on like a house on fire at will.I.am’s gig. They got on so well that she has asked him if he would model in the show she is organising for Mandela. He jumped at the chance.” Read more & comment »
Former X Factor winner, Shayne Ward has slammed Simon Cowell’s decision to sack Louis Walhs from the show earlier this year. Shayne thinks that the show would have flopped without him, but strongly denies any rumour of a PR stunt.
“Louis’s sacking was 100 per cent genuine. They wanted something new so they thought they’d try new judges and change around the set, and Louis did get axed – I know because he was gutted,” Shayne told the Manchester Evening News. Read more & comment »
Shayne Ward has recently recorded his comeback single and video “If Thats OK With You” last month. But his bosses, Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh have decided that it just isn’t strong enough for a comeback record and have sent him back to the studio.
A source told The Sun: “Louis and Simon are unhappy with Shayne’s new single and video. He needs something strong for his return to the charts and they felt it came up short. They are sending him to Sweden this weekend to record a last-minute track to make it a double A-side release.”
I would once again have to agree with Simon. I hate the synthesized voice effect throughout the verses and the song is instantly forgettable. As it is Shayne, there is plenty of eye candy in the video, but would I want to listen to the track on the radio or my iPod? Definitely not!
After spending the last two months working in LA on his new album, X Factor winner Shayne Ward has revealed how difficult he has found the seperation from long term girlfriend, Faye McKeever.
“Faye and I are still very much in love,” Shayne told the News of the World. “Being apart is hard. Because I’ve been in LA, I last saw her two months ago. But we chat every day. I couldn’t do phone sex though, that’s perverted!
“I love being faithful to her, but we’re not getting married. I’m young and enjoying life to the fullest. Marriage hasn’t crossed my mind. Faye’s very supportive, she’d never try to put chains on me.”
Last years X Factor winner Shayne Ward has failed to sell out ANY dates for his upcoming UK tour.
Shayne’s tour kicks off in the Point Theatre in Dublin and there are 2000 tickets left for that show alone.
A source close to the 22- year-old who won last year’s X Factor said: “It was always going to be an ambitious tour for someone who has only been around for a year.
“A tour as big as this costs a fortune and needs to be a sell-out just to break even.”
Last years X Factor winner has revealed that he is backing The MacDonald Brothers in this years show.
He says: “I think they deserve to do well in the future – they’ve got great voices.”
Shayne is obviously very loyal to his manager Louis Walsh who just happens to be mentoring the Scottish duo!
Robbie Williams has claimed this week that Irish X Factor judge Louis Walsh fancies him and wants to be his manager!
He thinks that could be the only reason for Louis’ recent criticisms of Robbie music and his comments that “Robbie Williams’ voice isn’t all that.”
The star added: “I just think Louis wants to manage me and sleep with me, so that must be a problem in his mind.
“Louis has started slagging me off all the time. I didn’t have any history with him so I don’t know why he’s doing it.
“He should decide if he wants to be a manager or a celebrity – I don’t think you can be both,” Robbie told The Sun.
Robbie also said that he gave X Factor winner Shayne Ward his phone number last year, but is still waiting to hear from him:
“I phone in and vote – it becomes the most important thing in your life at that moment. I voted for three or four people on the last X Factor, including Shayne Ward and the dustbin man, Andy.
“Later on I met Shayne and gave him my number but Louis doesn’t want him to have anything to do with me.”
Come on Louis….act your age!!
