And we have the pleasure of Lloyd Daniels singing twice, that really fills me up with excitement. Fair play he got the votes even if it was a OMG he's so fit one but people have their own reasons when voting thats just one of the factors.



Oh and I didn't like the audience booing him either, they should be told to shut up. He's going to be the next target now on Saturday, it's like a BB eviction audience.

I hope it is darlo.  I think that will suit Olly as he has said he wants to do R&B and also Soul.  Not sure how the others will do though.

If they did it at a sporting event they would probably get thrown out.
Alas no! Graham LeSaux had to put up with much worse and unfounded material. I well remember turning to a fellow supporter, complaining about his attitude, and ending up in quite a vicious argument.
Christiano Ronaldo also had to put up with foul and disgraceful abuse too. (Though TBF that was me   )

Blimey. And they're playing a Brum gay club shortly
FAbulous. Didn't Take That start out playing the gay clubs. I've always thought the boys are lovely looking and extremely camp. Wouldn't bother me in the slightest if they were gay, although Louis (Mr. Camp himself) was ramming the 'Young girls love them' a bit too much imo. Saw them on TV this morning and did have a chuckle about their clothes. I'll really miss them every Saturday they were such good entertainment and moreover, they appear really sweet

X Factor: John and Edward Grimes changed final song just before Sunday’s show

johnandedward

Outgoing X Factor singers John and Edward Grimes, have revealed that they changed their sing off song just an hour before the live show.

Last night the boys sang Boyzone’s ‘No Matter What’, against Olly Murs rendition of ‘Wonderful Tonight’. Today during an interview on This Morning, host Holly Willoughby said: “Every time I’ve played it back to you, there and when I played it back to you in the X Factor studio, you’ve both goneâ€Ķ eurrgh.”

Jedward back Stacey to win

Twins John and Edward Grimes have backed Londoner Stacey Solomon to go all the way in The X Factor and win the million pound record contract.

The twins were booted out of the hit show on Saturday after the judges voted three to one against them.

They had been in the bottom two with Olly Murs who up until the weekend had proven popular with the public voters.

The boys urged viewers to get behind their favourite acts now that the final result will no longer be decided by the four judges and purely on the public vote.

Citing Olly as a surprising act to be left in the bottom two, the Grimes twins said that no one was safe and that if people have a favourite they need to pick up the phone and vote.

The boys assured their fans that despite reaching the end of the road on The X Factor they will be seeing them regularly performing in a number of locations over the next few weeks.

X Factor twins Jedward in line for ÂĢ2m consolation prizes

John and Edward Grimes

They may have been voted off The X Factor weeks before the grand final, but John and Edward Grimes are being talked about as the real winners of this year’s series.

Industry experts said that the 18-year-old Irish twins, nicknamed Jedward, could make about ÂĢ2 million over the next year on the back of the crazy costumes and hyperactive dance moves that characterised their routines on the ITV talent show.

Although the twins’ musical performances leave a lot to be desired, they already have more than 100 private bookings, on top of the official X Factor tour, each of which will earn them a minimum of ÂĢ20,000.

Three publishers are in a bidding war to secure their autobiography — which could be rushed out to catch the Christmas market and bring them in ÂĢ250,000 — and executives at the Disney Channel are understood to be considering inviting them to become television presenters.

The pair said yesterday that they would consider any offers that came their way. “We’d like to do different things in future,” said John. “Right now our main focus is The X Factor and music but we still want to pursue different things. You never know what’s going to happen. It’s about keeping doors open. It’s all about moving forward in the right direction.

“We have to reinvent ourselves — it’s about doing it for all the fans because, without them, we wouldn’t have done as great as we have. We’re living our dream. We’re so amazed to be on stage and we’re staying focused on keeping the creative energy going.”

In common with the other X Factor finalists, the Grimes twins are locked into a contract with Modest Management for a four-month “cooling-off” period after the programme finishes, during which they cannot enter into any commercial deals without the permission of Simon Cowell, who runs the show. During that time they will embark on the 30-date official X Factor tour of Britain and Ireland with the other contestants, for which they will be paid ÂĢ180,000, and will schedule their other appearances around those commitments.

Edward said: “The tour is coming up next year so we’re really excited about that. We just want to throw ourselves into that. We’d love to do all that stuff like TV shows because we feel like we have so much more to give. Our fans are so dedicated and we can’t leave them standing around the place, so we need to keep supporting them so that all the Jedward memorabilia like T-shirts don’t go out of date.”

The twins are also likely to land product endorsement deals worth hundreds of thousands of pounds — a natural fit being hair styling gels, sprays and mousses. Brylcreem, however, is out of the running, as the company supports only one “Brylcreem Boy” at a time and Kevin Pietersen, the England cricketer, holds that title. Louis Walsh, the judge who acted as Jedward’s mentor on the show, said that they would be missed. “They just love pop music. The show’s not going to be the same without them, the fun is out of The X Factor. I’ve had the best time working with these guys. I feel young again.”

He added that some of the criticism of the pair was unfair, and that they had improved over the course of the show. “They’re actually getting better,” he said. “They can dance a bit and they can sing a bit.”

Lloyd threatens to quit 'X Factor'

24/11/2009 - 13:24:28
‘X Factor’ contestant Lloyd Daniels is the second finalist to threaten to quit the show.

The 16-year-old singer reportedly broke down in tears over judge Louis Walsh’s criticism of his singing, after he said he “can’t believe” Lloyd is still in the competition.

Nevertheless, Lloyd survived another week as one of the most popular acts with viewers, and escaped the sing off between the bottom two acts.

However, afterward he reportedly told producers: “I'm going, I can’t carry on.”

Speaking on ‘X Factor’ companion show ‘The Xtra Factor’ Louis said he thought Lloyd should have been in the sing-off rather than Olly Murs.

He said: “I thought it would have been Lloyd in the bottom two because he's been there, like, three times. Olly did not deserve to be in the bottom two.”

A show insider said Lloyd was shaken by the comments and also upset by the studio audience’s reaction.

A show insider told the Daily Mail newspaper: “Lloyd was in a terrible state after the show. It has got a bit too much for him. Being told that you belong in the bottom two is devastating for any of the contestants and Lloyd is really young.

“Also, when he was not put into the bottom two, the audience started booing loudly, which is a lot to take on for a young lad.

“He will be OK, he just had a knock on Sunday night and the pressure is really on. After all, there’s only three weeks left on the show.”

The X Factor’s voice coach Yvie Burnett says she's been been teasing Stacey Solomon and Olly Murs about their ongoing flirting – and has been joking she's going to have a starring role at their wedding.

Talking to new! magazine, Yvie, 46, said she would love to see the pair settle down together.

She explained: "We’ve all been teasing them about it. I’ve just been with them and was having a tease like everyone else was.

"They just laugh it off. They’re just good mates as far as I know, but they’re really lovely together and it’s great that they’ve got each other.

"Who knows what will happen? They’re from similar backgrounds, so they obviously have a lot in common, so let’s see. If they do fall in love, though, I want to be Maid of Honour at the wedding!"

Jedward's live show set to bring in huge crowd

They're the sensation of this year's X Factor – and now they're coming to Fareham.
And the bar where they're performing is set to draft in extra security as Jedward head to town.

Irish twins John and Edward Grimes will be making a special one-off performance as well as meeting fans at Chicago Rock Cafe.

It is part of an exclusive agreement with the X Factor contestants which has seen Miss Frank, Ethan Boroian and Lucie Jones perform at the venue – with Jamie Archer on stage this coming Sunday.

Stefan Boxall, manager of Chicago Rock, said a big crowd was expected for the twins' gig on December 6.

'We can't wait. It's going to be an awesome night,' he said. 'We are looking at the possibility of extra security.

'We want everything to be safe. It's more of a precaution than a necessity. Every artist that comes has their own security anyway.

'But we will have one or two extra security staff just to make sure everyone is aware we are nice and safe.'

John and Edward have divided a nation for their appearances on the ITV show, including the memorable Ghostbusters routine.

The 18-year-olds from Dublin eventually lost in a sing-off to crowd favourite Olly Murs on Sunday night.

Mr Boxall said of them: 'It's one of those love-hate relationships.

'People have grown to love them over the period of time they have been on the show. They want to come down and see them for themselves.

'With John and Edward, it's more of a panto thing.

'They are two guys living a dream who have tried to get as far as they could in the competition. And it was the public keeping them in. People like having someone to boo. It will be great – an electric atmosphere.

'I don't think anybody thought they would win it.

'From all accounts, they are a nice couple of lads and you can't blame them for doing what they have done.'

Tickets, which are already on sale, cost ÂĢ10 or ÂĢ15 including a meet and greet. Doors will open at 7pm.

All acts to dance on this week's X Factor

All of the remaining acts on The X Factor will be dancing on Saturday, according to the show's creative director.

 

Brian Friedman says now John and Edward are gone, the plan is to give all the finalists routines to learn.

The choreographer said: "I could have to cut some of it if they're really terrible but we should see everyone dancing, even Danyl."

Mentor Dannii Minogue revealed earlier this week the theme is Take That and Elton John songs this week, although Friedman would not confirm: "You never know when the theme's going to change."

Speaking of rumours twins Jedward could be heading to the Australian jungle to join I'm A Celebrity, Friedman added: "It would be terrible, that's all I know."

X Factor's Lucie Jones at Chicago Rock Cafe TONIGHT!

8:00am Wednesday 25th November 2009

Lucie

WELSH singer Lucie Jones – who was at the centre of controversy on the X Factor a couple of weeks ago – will be appearing live at Chicago Rock CafÃĐ in Yeovil TONIGHT.

Lucie was knocked out of the hit TV show when judge Simon Cowell gave his backing to Irish twins John and Edward.

It meant that the vote went to deadlock and with Lucie receiving the least number of public votes it meant that she was eliminated from the show.

That sparked a wave of protests from X Factor fans saying that the wrong act had been kicked out.

But X Factor’s loss is Yeovil’s gain as the talented Lucie will be appearing at Chicago Rock CafÃĐ in Stars Lane, Yeovil, tonight (Wednesday, November 25).

Doors open at 7pm with the entertainment starting from from 8pm. Admission is ÂĢ5 payable on the door that night.

Another X Factor finalist, Jamie Archer, will be appearing at Chicago Rock next Wednesday (Dec 2).

X Factor to pay tribute to two acts

The themes for this week's 'X Factor' have been announced, with the contestants set to perform the songs of two different acts.

According to The Sun, both Take That and Elton John will be honoured on the show this week.

A source said: "The plan is for the acts to do one up-tempo number and a more ballady one to show off both sides of their voices."

"Learning two songs is killing them."

The source also said that choreographer Brian Friedman will be working closely with the remaining acts this week.

"Brian is having to come up with loads of energetic dance routines for them."

"Some, like Olly and Danyl, are convinced that the key to their survival is down to them having a big performance."
