Murs suffering with throat infection

X Factor hopeful Olly Murs is suffering from a throat infection, say tabloid reports.

The Essex singer has the same illness that Lloyd Daniels complained about last weekend, according to The Sun.

Murs and Daniels have been ordered to rest their voices by doctors and were told not to talk to anyone at last night's A Christmas Carol premiere.

"Both are determined to make Saturday night's show," said an ITV source.

Last year, final 12 X Factor contestant Diana Vickers was forced to miss a show after being diagnosed with laryngitis.

The X Factor continues on ITV1 on Saturday with a Songs From The Movies theme.

Hmmm. who's doing the Oompa Lumpa song from Willy Wonka then?

Maybe the Twins then.

I think this week they all have plenty of choice for getting the right song, unless it's forced on them by the crazy judges.

If it was hip-hop and scartch week Danyll would still do a power ballad.

STYLE SNAP! Taylor Swift v Stacey Solomon in Topshop

Monday 2 November, 2009

Both singers don Topshop's one-shoulder frock for their TV appearances

We know the stars love Topshop just as much as we do. The high street giant counts every celeb trendster from Kate Moss to Olivia Palermo as fans.

So it's no surprise that rising X Factor starlet Stacey Solomon got in on a bit of Topshop action. But we didn't expect to see both her AND country singer Taylor Swift in the same frock within days of each other. The dress in question is a nude, one-shoudler bustier style with a black polka-dot overlay.

Stacey Solomon took to the stage in the second week of the live shows on The X Factor wearing the shimmering frock. She cinched it in with a black waist belt and added nude court shoes for height.

Over on the other side of the Atlantic, Taylor Swift chose the dress for her appearance on America's answer to Strictly Come Dancing, Dancing With the Stars. Taylor kept her look simple and accessory free wearing just a pair of black peep-toes and her signature curly blonde hair tumbling over her shoulders.

With one-shoulder, polka dots and a subtle sparkle this is a divine cocktail dress and it's no wonder Topshop have already sold out... Luckily they've got a similar style which you can snap up online now! Go to topshop.com and get shopping...

 

JLS: Jedward can join band

THERE'S no escaping twinsmania.

Even JLS have gone crazy for the oddball brothers.

MARVIN, ASTON, ORITSE and JB have invited Dublin lads JOHN & EDWARD to join their band if they fail to win The X Factor crown.

Aston said: "If they don't win the show there is room for them in our team.

"They are two of the bravest kids I've met. It's not right to get booed, but they still come out smiling."

Oritse added: "They're very entertaining and they are fantastic to watch. We fully support them.

"We met them when we performed on the show last Sunday and it was nice to see them asking us for advice. It's good to give something back.

"The reaction they're getting is unfair though. It's their right to be in the competition as well as anyone else.

"They show a great family bond and it's a good example people should give them credit for."

JB, real name Jonathan Gill, revealed it was brilliant returning to the show as artists instead of contestants.

He said: "We could relax for a change as we knew we weren't going to get booted off."

But Aston was surprised at their reaction to being back on the stage.

"I watched it back and when we were talking to SIMON COWELL we still looked nervous and scared.

"I don't know why we did that. It's hard not to act that way around him."

And if Jedward don't accept their offer, the lads have also said there is room for Dragon's Den entrepreneurs THEO PAPHITIS and DUNCAN BANNATYNE.

"We saw Theo and Duncan jumping around at the side of the stage at one of our gigs with their kids. They've got to join the band," Oritse said.

He also revealed he has been a victim of bullying, but says what happened in the playground only made him stronger.

"I used to be a big geek. I had big round glasses and was very uncool," he said.

"The kids teased me because of my eyes. It was horrible.

"But recently I saw a massive billboard with our faces on it when I was going to rehearsals in Shepherd's Bush.

"I used to go to school round there and walked past the same spot for six or seven years - and now it has our big heads on it.

"It's weird to see yourself up there, but it shows me how far we've come."

Aston added: "Everyone knows our journey. The debut album is out on Monday and when I see it I'll pinch myself - and buy a copy.

"I'm not embarrassed. I'm proud."

Heat are backing the twins??? I'm havin words

Brian Friedman blames Jedward for the exit of 'real X Factor talent'

By LONDON LITE - Wednesday, November 4, 2009

The X Factor's Brian Friedman has laid into John and Edward again — this time saying they're getting the show's genuine talents booted out.

At last night's film premiere of A Christmas Carol in Leicester Square, the choreographer was asked if he thought the twins were taking more deserving contestants' places.

And Taylor 'Kanye West' Swift wore the dress better.

What next?We'll be having a vote in parliment, or getting the troops to vote.

The mind boggles, I suppose one could sit on the others knee and act like a dummy.

I thought it looks better on Stacey, she fills it out more.
But it doesn't really matter, does it?
The papers just want something to fill their pages.

Heh Heh lovin' The Dyer - one of our true talents


"Stop being a DIV"  . . .thats classic, ha ha ha !!

I am backing Olly, Jamie or Danyl to win.  I doubt any of the girls will win this year.

The twins might though

That has to be the most stupid X Factor comment ever. What a div cock.

I have to say, I am not quite sure why they have to have been on a "journey" to be any good.  Maybe he has been on one but prefers not to bleat about it

I agree with LL although I would substitute Lucie for Olly.

I think that unless the singers have moved up from performing in Pubs and clubs for many years they don't rate them.They don't like you to go straight onto a stage and get known by Millions.They want you to slog it out for years for no pay.Probably like they did.
Tough, things have changed, it's 2009 now not 1956.

It seems like 1956. The fifties and early sixties were crap times for music too.

Stacey on her way to rehearsal's today.


Lucie on her way to rehearsals as well.


Move over danny, Simon has had Enough.


Dannii moves over 1 place.


Dannii moves to the end of the row.

Next move is onto the floor.

The press has gone Jedward crazy, loving it. Can't wait for their Ghostbuters performance and their odds are shortening each day. The fact is most of their fans never presume they are safe and are prepared to vote to keep them in as they like them that much but their luck could run out at some point if they don't have enough votes...

I agree with Danny Dyer regarding Stacey ACTING alike div, all too contrived in my opinion.

Me too, glad his daughter likes Danyl though.

I saw a report that said her sister is exactly the same, I don't think she's putting anything on, it's just the way she is.

Dannii Minogue certainly is growing in popularity, topping DS poll for the favourite judge very deservedly with Simon second, Louis third and Cheryl last (). She's really lovely and has kept in touch with most of her acts, she's totally fair to all of this years lot also.

No doubting she is a div , I do think she's exaggerating it though.

What a difference a year makes eh

Simon is the only one that knows what he's talking about.
The girls talk rubbish, if it was them that was going to give the winner a job they would be a lot different, like Louis, do you think he would give the Twins a job, no chance, only Simon knows the financial potential, and that's what matters, it's a business.

Simon knows what he is doing that is obvious, but he is so hypocritical he's bound to be with what he's acheived, his marmite personality is great he's easily forgiven, he's a softie really.



Dannii actually can sing though and had lots of experience in the music business so she can understand what they are going through more. Cheryl can't sing but is only there because of GA and because she's the most famous one out of the band . Nadine has the voice in the band and it annoys me when Cheryl takes all the credit.

x factor stacey breaks joes rib



Something Danyl can't be blamed for.

Another rubbish story, it's an old one.
Stacey didn't do it, and he didn't break a rib anyway, he was chasing her up the stairs and he slipped., so that's his fault, can't be Stacey's she was in front.

I'm reading an article about Stacey praising Jedward on DS, thats nice of her they do get on well indeed from what i've noticed.

Simon and Louis have launched Westlife and Boyzone, both dreadful acts, can't sing, can't dance but loved by teenage girls and made tonnes of money for them both. Both groups introduced to Simon Cowell by Louis Walsh. (Can't STAND Louis Walsh by the way, one of the rudest people I have ever had the misfortunate to encounter) so I still believe they are colluding in the whole Twins situation. Simon knows EXACTLY what he is doing.

does anyone know the whole playlist for this week?   we all know the grimms bro's are singing ghostbusters .......  what about the rest?  (btw luvvin olly)

Why why why why why why are those blasted twins still there?!

Olly is the best one and Stacey is so irritating.

Rachel is coming to the West Midlands in the main town near us to turn on the Christmas lights our local paper confirmed it, she will be joined by Eoghan Quigg and Demi Cullum who auditioned this year and got a hug off Cheryl after being rejected amongst the numerous entertainment planned.
