Another Guest singer that is overrated

I agree get rid of Cheryl. Dannii really is coming into her own as a judge she's the best on the panel she's fair, constructive, honest and fair she's also the most caring out of all of them so Simon would make a big mistake getting rid of her and it could backfire.....

Former X Factor contestant Jamie Archer – aka Jamie Afro – has said that he’s a massive fan of controversial twins John and Edward.

The rocker, who left the show after being in the bottom two on Sunday, said that he enjoys their performances, and that they are great guys.

He told stv.tv: “I’m a massive fan of John and Edward, I think they have every right to be in the competition, I think they have every right to be there.”

Jamie also praised the twins’ outlandish performances - which have seen them take to the stage in red PVC suits for a performance of Britney Spears’ Oops…I Did It Again, as well as singing the Ghostbusters theme tune, decked out in boiler suits.

He said: “All great music should be controversial, and it should be over the top and a bit crazy, and everyone should be talking about it.”

Jamie added: “The fact that John and Edward get such big productions I think that’s brilliant – The X Factor is a massive resource and if you want a big production they’ll give it to you. I personally didn’t feel I needed a big production because it’s not what I do.”

The rocker – who was knocked out on Sunday after performing Radio Ga Ga as part of Queen week, admitted that the show is no longer just about singing – and that the spectacle of the performances can have a lot to do with who impresses the audience.

Jamie continued: “It’s not the singing factor, it’s The X Factor, it’s a lot of different things…perhaps in the beginning, the first X Factor was more voice, but not now, I think people want to be entertained.”

 What a strange theme...

Tell me about it, according to the papers Simon has been very undecided thats why we wasn't told on the Xtra Factor like we normally are, seems like his mind is made up now.

John and Edward singing I'm Your Man, can't wait.. I'm so glad they didn't go with Wham Rap because i've never heard of it until this week, my choice would have been Wake Me Up for them.

looking forward to this    assuming George might be helping them so a song from him would be fab

lots of material to choose from so it will be interesting what songs are used

Well said Jamie Afro. You rock

Good on Danyl.


I'll only be watching half heartedly to see Joe McElderry win when John and Edward and Danyl go soon.

There might not be a Wham week after all, according to rumours the theme has been changed again.

The chances of it being someone remotely interesting are nil. Why not break with tradition and go with someone like The Smiths, Bowie, Beefheart or whatever instead of the same old songs every year?

Apparently both Mariah Carey and Subo will be mimed performances

And Subo's will be pre-recorded apparently.

Let's have punk rock week.... Jedward can 'sing' Anarchy in the UK...

The final results show is on a Sunday, more time for voting apparently but it's the same time as BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

They should get rid of the themes and let them choose their own songs every week

Can't see the point in the themes anyway, it only benefits a few of them, whats the point in that.

Well Stacey says she has hers sorted and it's great.

X Factor star Danyl Johnson wins row with Simon Cowell over song

Exclusive By Nicola Methven, TV Editor 20/11/2009

Simon Cowell last night caved in to Danyl Johnson and changed his song for this week’s show.

The stroppy drama teacher had a hissy fit and stormed out of rehearsals when asked to sing George Michael’s Praying for Time.

But after crisis talks Cowell agreed he could perform the star’s classic hit Careless Whisper.

And the X Factor judge brushed off their row as a “storm in a teacup” blaming 27-year-old Danyl’s meltdown on the pressure of competing for the top prize. He said: “The frustration got to him and he boiled over but when we talked it through he was as good as gold.

“It was always going to be one of those two songs and it turns out Danyl had set his heart on the other one.

“Danyl is now going to sing Careless Whisper on Saturday and it is an incredible version. We love it.”

Danyl ran off down Battersea High Street in South London on Wednesday after a bust-up about the track.

Last week’s loser Jamie Archer, who also had arguments with Cowell over song choices, said he had a long chat with the contestant after his walkout.

He added: “Sometimes you have a  strong idea of what you want to do and it doesn’t match what the X Factor think is right. It can be very frustrating.

“It’s very high pressure, I don’t think anyone can ever understand what it’s truly like to be in that house.

“People will flare up from time to time. It is natural to think, ‘Oh my God, I need some time to myself’.”

A charity auction for two studio tickets to watch X Factor a week on Sunday have attracted bids of more than £10,000.

 Pilotlight, which helps charities grow, is behind the scheme. To bid visit www.pilotlight.org.uk.

X FACTOR TWINS JOHN AND EDWARD FOUND BY U2 MUSIC MAN ROBERT STEPHENSON

X-FACTOR twins John and Edward Grimes were found by Roberst Stephenson who discovered Irish band U2.

Robert Stephenson predicts the twins will end up just as famous as megastars U2.

X FACTOR TWINS TO RELEASE SINGLE AND ALBUM WITH LEONA LEWIS MANAGEMENT

X FACTOR twins, John and Edwards Grimes, are already planning their first single and album, we can exclusively reveal.

Well i've read that they have ALL the finalists signed up anyway with that company, yet again the papers slagging off John and Edward, they will all get something out of the show but it can't be denied the Twins are profitable and their charm has won some important people over.

XFactor has turned into a farce IMO   Jedward signed up for an album They can't sing-- choreograpy is a laugh   Top Musicians have slagged em off,if folk are willing to pay good money for computer enhanced sound of these 2 then so be it.

It is, because John and Edward really entertaining imo as where everytime I see the likes of Olly, Joe and Stacey who will be in the final I just want to go to sleep they're just not interesting enough and lack charisma, will the 3 of them be remembered like Leona or JLS?, don't think so.


I would go for a Joe win in that situation because I do like him after the pantomime villains/marmite people for this year Danyl Johnson and Jedward.

"Jedward are interesting in other ways. They have helped to establish the convention of combining names to signify a couple, as in Brangelina. If only this had been the norm when Posh Spice started dating David Beckham — what could have been more perfect than Peckham?"

Frank Skinner in the Times. 

I don't think you actually have to be able to sing to produce an album as long as your timbre is good.  The recording deck just brings it all back into tune.  A single album will probably make some money, if only for the novelty factor!  Hold on ... Novelty Factor!!!!  I ought to copyright that and sell the concept to Cash Cowell.  A Christmas One-Off show celebrating quirky acts.

Got this in my head now.

Republic of Ireland can vote now through this website...

An Irish phone company called Swiftcall has set up a website that re-routes Irish votes through an exchange in London and into the main voting pool

They're too busy with David Cameron, at the moment.

O.M.G. Darlo, I cannot believe it. Thanks so much for putting this up. I could kiss you

Rhydian & Lucie having a cosy dinner.
-------------------

X FACTOR reject Lucie Jones has a new mega-quiff in her life after bidding farewell to the dreaded Jedward.

She covered up her locks with a winter hat as she met up with 2007 runner-up Rhydian Roberts and his strangely familiar hair.

Blond Welsh opera singer Rhyd, 26, treated his 18-year-old countrywoman to dinner at a posh London restaurant.

The pair later made tracks to Lucie's hotel - and it was a few hours before Rhydian emerged.

Maybe Lucie was checking out his arias...

Awww thats nice of Rhydian, he should have won his series. Lucie has lots of things going for her now.. so John and Edward have probably done her a favour in terms of interest of what she is doing because of the outrage of Simon's decision.


You're welcome Fairfax, it's about time and hopefully bad luck doesn't strike again.

Proof that Mariah Carey is the most ridiculous diva EVER!

Dannii mentions Lucie in her latest twitter.
