A few fans turn out to meet JLS at HMV in Ireland.

Hello. Theres always Leona and the Black Eyed Peas on Sunday. I can't wait till the BEP. I heard Shakira might be going on soon also.

Have just watched (tonight) XFactor extra on one of the Irish tv channels, am I totally going mental or did I just see a family/friend montage for Danyl What the hell is that all about, is it (a) because he was in the sing off (b) he acted like a spoiled baba whingebag (c) He is one of Simons singers?
Can someone answer me. Do they do this montage each week for all the contestants?

Hi

Good to see there are some good guests for a change this weekend, Black Eyed Peas are great but i dont think much of thier new songs

Yeah they do Fairfax, Holly did it to cheer him up. I think Rachel was last week.

So tommorow's papers are going to be full of Jamie ''Afro'' Archer threatening to quit articles, bet it isn't even true and they're just stirring and twisting things.

Oh right. I love most of their tracks. Have you heard the new track Meet Me Halfway?, that is what they will be performing anyway lol. Fergie is pretty though.

I'd rather not answer that, now you are pulling my Leg.

X Factor's Jamie threatens to walk

X Factor finalist Jamie Archer has reportedly threatened to quit the show after his relationship with mentor Simon Cowell hit a new low.

According to The Sun, the 34-year-old singer saw red after being banned from going on tour with rockers Bon Jovi, guests on last weekend's show.

Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi reportedly asked Archer - known as Jamie Afro - to join them on tour, but the move was vetoed by producers who claimed that he is under contract to X Factor.

And a friend told the paper that this could be the last straw for Archer, who fell out with Simon Cowell two weeks ago after he ordered him to change his song at the last minute.

"Jamie's fed up with the competition and how Simon is treating him," the source said.

"He was on the verge of quitting at the weekend because he was so angry at being given rubbish songs and some judges' comments. He hasn't forgiven Simon for changing his song.

"Their relationship is not great. There were already serious cracks but now it's more like the Grand Canyon."

The source added that Archer does not think he will win The X Factor and was convinced he would have a better chance at fame by going on tour with the veteran rockers.

"Jon Bon Jovi came up to him after the Sunday show, told him he liked him and offered him a support act role on the tour.

Jamie was thrilled but his contract means he is tied to X Factor and wouldn't be able to do it. He was absolutely gutted and it made for a tense week between him and Simon.

"He feels Simon gives him rubbish songs to make people vote for Olly Murs and Danyl Johnson. He calmed down and decided to stay as he realised it's incredible exposure."

Archer is one of the outsiders to win the series, according to bookmakers Paddy Power who are offering odds of 16-1 on him taking the title. He has odds of 7-2 on getting the boot this week.

Lloyd Daniels, who survived last week's sing-off, is the bookies favourite to go this week with odds of 6-4 ahead of John and Edward who are second favourites to get the chop.

Olly Murs has replaced Joe McElderry as the 5-2 favourite to win the series. John and Edward's odds of winning have now been slashed to 6-1, putting them just behind third favourite Stacey Solomon in the betting.

I think Jamie may be a bit too old to be take direction from Simon, however if he signed up for the show 'thems the rules'!

hmm, depends how much money he'd make from touring with bon jovi.  if it was enough to pay simon off for breaching his contract, i say go for it

bit worried about jamie though, i loved him at first but now i'm wondering whether he's a one trick pony

This has to be the story of the series. Surely in terms of singing ability, charisma, and baldy napper comb over, he isn't in the top four. Have I missed a category?

All the smart money from the seasoned gamblers is going on Danyl and Jedward I read. We'll probably end up with a Olly, Joe and Stacey final...

Spare us that, Darlo.

Olly is similar to Robbie Williams in that he's a 'cheeky chap' who uses showmanship to cover an average voice.

As such, there will be quite a lot of people who like him.

As for the Jamie situation, I really like him, but I hope he doesn't win. Simon Cowell would not have a clue what to do with him to get the best out of him. But going on a show like this worked for Daughtry, who got picked up by RCA, so perhaps Jamie could end up in a similar situation...

Olly Murs on DOND, he ended up with a tenner, unlucky.

For later performance...

Apparently she's doing Son Of A Preacherman now, lots of guessing before hand but the ITV page has been changed. Lloyd is apparently doing Stand By Me instead of Footloose.

Good one Darlo'

Bottom two: Lloyd and Jamie, with Lloyd to go.

Why does it take a week to find out what they are singing, this can't be good for them surely.

They should be spending the week rehearsing the song, this is crazy.
No wonder some of them get annoyed.
I would be fuming.

Jamie's song choice has been changed from Unchained Melody to Crying by Roy Orbison, perhaps Jamie wasn't keen on Simon's choice?.

When i hear that song i always think of this

What we have learnt so far.........   They could call it "Freaky MM heavy metal acid rock week!" and they would still end up singing the same insipid inoffensive garbage.
