I cant wait for the final Joe to win hope Jedward performs

Bland Joe the winner AND Jedward performing? Sounds like an evening from hell to me!!

Agree.  Joe to win!  Olly isn't brilliant, and Stacey is Ok but has got steadily worse over the past 4 weeks or so.  Joe is definately the only one worthy of winning now.  Hope so.  But anyone is better than last years winner; the ghastly Alexandra Burke.    The most annoying winner ever IMO, and the song Bad Boys was crap.

I still think she looks like a man.

LOL Demantoid.    She is so fecking irritating too!

, not really excited about this karaoke dull fest of a final tbh but will be happy when Joe easily beats them pair to win.

X Factor Final 2009 – and the finalists will sing…..

December 6th, 2009 by Lisa McGarry.

TBH Darlo, it's been the shittiest X factor ever IMO. 

Can't agree I think it's been good it's certainly bringing in the viewers

Trouble is grannyg, it's bringing in the viewers for all the wrong reasons.  The lack of talent has been shocking IMO.  When you think of the quality and high standard of the acts in American Idol by the final 12, it makes us Brits look shockingly lame.

It should be a good weekend anyway.
I'm sure they are all going to shine, they should have good songs and a good chance to pull in votes.

Think Stacey will do well.

She has my vote anyway.

And she is very popular, I know Joe has a big fan base also, so has Olly of course.


It's all down to the voting at the weekend and it will be down to who has the most fans and the most money to vote.

We don't have the Talent like they do over the water so we can't have them in the lineup.

We have loads of Talent but they don't sign into the X-Factor because it's just a joke really, the best singers can get kicked out at the beginning because of the way the system works and they are only allowed a few in each category, it's just a joke isn't it?

 What wrong reasons?. I think  whatever the reasons( even if it's just to moan)

   people are interested enough  to switch on their tv and watch

  Yes change the system

I'll remember this series of X-Factor for Danyl Johnson and the Twins.

Only Time will tell who the most successful acts will be or last
  I've enjoyed it I really have.Am I just on my own there?

My favourite bit is when they all sing a song together.

Exciting times for JLS

Dec 2 2009 By Gordon Barr, Evening Chronicle

THEY may have come second in last year’s X Factor, but boy band JLS are having the most successful 2009 of that series’ contestants.

Now they have announced their first headlining arena tour, and will be coming to Newcastle – but not until December 2010.

They will play the Metro Radio Arena on December 18 next year, with tickets on sale from this Saturday. That’s on top of their February gig next year at Newcastle City Hall.

“We can't believe the demand we received for our theatre tour, which sold out immediately!” the lads said in a statement.

“The response has been incredible and we’re over the moon to announce that we’re doing our very own arena tour at the end of 2010. It’s every singer’s dream to play these venues to such huge audiences! It’s going to be a spectacular and we can’t wait for all our supporters to see the show.”

JLS have had a phenomenal 12 months. Their first two singles, Beat Again and Everybody In Love, debuted at number one and their debut self-titled album released in November stormed to the top of the album charts, selling 239,643 copies in a week – the fastest selling debut by a group since the Arctic Monkeys in 2006.

JLS will be releasing their third single, One Shot, in February 2010.

I agree Grannyg it has been a good series this year, it has certainly thrashed SCD  in the ratings and although I enjoy SCD it is the X factorI look forward to more

That's a good idea, they could all be backing singers for Stacey.

It's always hard to say who will make it Grannyg.It depends on a lot of factors.

I think a lot of thought is put into the acts that they want early on.


Simon knows that he can't have 12 very good acts, he couldn't cope with it.
He can only sign one act a year probably.


He wants the young acts to come back the next year because the contest is too hard for them.


He also wants a load of acts to get rid of, he must know from the beginning who will make the Final anyway, he doesn't want great singers to go early as he won't get his cut.

But because the public are voting he can't always control what is going on.

 

You tend to get more rock oriented artists over on American Idol, which makes it better for me. There's only been two on the X-Factor.

As for Jedward performing, maybe they'll be part of the annual performance from all the worst acts in the series...

More romance talk because Olly & Stacey went to a meeting in the same car.

How pathetic are the papers and desperate.

Why can't they just leave them to get on with the Job in hand which is learning their songs.
Of course they would go in the same car they are going to the same place.

The new improved Same Difference...

Wow Sarah and Sean look great

George Michael, Paul McCartney, Michael Buble and Robbie Williams for X Factor final 2009?

December 7th, 2009 by Lisa McGarry.

Simon Cowell confirmed on last night’s Xtra Factor that he had confirmed all the guest performances and duets for next week’s X Factor final. Tonight Irish entertainment show Xpose reported that those guests would be George Michael, Paul McCartney, Michael Buble and Robbie Williams.

It is thought that Olly Murs will perform with Robbie Williams, Joe McElderry will sing with George Michael or Paul McCartney and Stacey Solomon will duet with Michael Buble.

That looks like a joke photoshoot.

I would love it to be George that Joe duets with rather than Paul but will believe it when I see it - George's twitters Wham week wernt very favourable to the programme

a good line up - looking forward to it

Thanks Hicky for all your wonderful news items

a very john and edward christmas




 I love their randomness so funny, they come out with some funny things to say and talk lots lol.

You are most Welcome.
There's so much happening it would be a shame to miss a lot of it.

It's going to be exciting at the weekend.

X Factor: Danyl Johnson insists ‘I didn’t bully Stacey Solomon!’

December 7th, 2009 by Lisa McGarry.

X Factor’s Danyl Johnson has insisted that he didn’t bully Stacey Solomon during his time on the show.

Danyl was eliminated from the ITV1 TV show last night and had previously been accused of reducing his fellow competitor to tears with his personal jibes.

--------------------

Well he's bound to say that, what a stupid question to ask, you need to ask others not him.

Of course he's going to say he didn't bully Stacey.

Ask him what he said to her then.

Same Difference were that creepily irritating brother and sister, weren't they? That's a very shallow gene pool going on, there. I saw their vid on one of the music channels and it fair turned my stomach.. especially her, she smiles like a psycho.

Couple of Videos on youtube of Joe singing at his homecoming gig yesterday and Stacey at hers today

Stacey

They all got a good reception anyway.
It's lovely to see them go back home with their mentor.

I would have liked to see Stacey and Dannii myself, think they are both lovely.

Hope Stacey can win for Dannii.

X Factor winner’s video was recorded in London

December 9th, 2009 by Lisa McGarry.

I don't think that we have ever watched the X-Factor expecting to see talent. They have only had one success and she isn't everyone's cup of tea. It is an unmissable TV prog which works on so many levels.

Cheryl Vs. Dannii: it's the X Factor fashion face-off

 

Now we know everyone might be busy debating the musical merits of Olly, Stacey and Joe in the run-up to this weekend's X Factor final, but here on the Marie Claire online desk, we're still all about the fashion.

It's been a busy series in the style stakes, with an array of trends taking their place on the hallowed stage thanks to fashionista judges, Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue. 

But who wore them best, and who wins the prestigious sartorial crown?
