I wasn't impressed with Cheryl's singing, or the song. Some of the girls on the show have a better voice, For me her voice lacks strength or power, it sounds too weak. And filling the stage with about 50 dancers and the razmatazz of lights everywhere couldn't diguise for me what I felt about her performance, quite liked the little dance routine she and they did at the end though, shades of MJ's style I thought, but he was the master of it

The twins!!!

They are playing up to their arrogant persona to wind up the press and people who don't like them for example Cheryl Cole it's funny, they're not devil incarnates as portrayed by the Media they're having fun and know they can't sing and won't win they deserve criticism but some has been way OTT. I'm now a fan after not liking them.

Rachel still has X Factor

3:53pm Monday 19th October 2009

THE sister of X Factor finalist Rachel Adedeji says that she has been given the wrong look and the wrong songs.

Sandra Okunnu, 25, has been in the audience for the past two weeks as her little sister has been in the bottom two on the reality show.

Rachel, 18, chose to sing ‘With or Without You’ by U2 and Simon Cowell voted to keep her in. He sent Ricky Loney home on Sunday night.

The songstress spent her teenage years living in St Francis Way, Chadwell St Mary, and went to secondary school in Basildon.

Sandra, said: “I was there on Saturday and Sunday. I thought she was great. But I was crying so much when she was in the bottom two again. I could not believe it. Seeing her cry made us all cry too.

“I really think what Simon said was true- the audience are not getting to know the real Rachel. They are trying to make her look too much like Grace Jones with the make up. It’s hard because she cannot really say anything.”

Sandra explained how before Rachel even went on the X Factor she said that she didn’t want people to feel sorry her and then vote and how at home she loves to sing Coldplay songs.

Sandra, added: “Rachel was born a fighter. She was a premature baby who only weighed 1kg when she was born.

“She was kept in an incubator for months and nearly died. I don’t think she has to win it to do well but she has a good chance.

“Her confidence is being knocked by being in the bottom two each week. My mum was not there this week, she can’t see Rachel going through such pain.”

This year’s X Factor is not short of Essex links. Stacey Solomon is dating a 19-year-old student from Grays called Aaron Barham.

Very strange show all round this weekend,  The songs were a disaster for all but 2.  Cheryl Crowe's mimed performance was a disaster as was her outfit.  Whitney's song was good but the outfit and her interview were both disasters.  The result was a disaster.  

On the question as to whether it was a pre-recorded show or not last night I don't think it was.
Louis didn't hear about Stephen's Gatley's death until about 12.30am the previous week.  He was not at the Sunday show.  If it had been pre-recorded Louis would have there because the news hadn't come through to him until he left the studios.

X Factor: Brian Friedman – ‘Cheryl Cole has made some very big errors!’

Brian Friedman

X Factor creative director, Brian Friedman has claimed that Cheryl Cole has made some big mistakes during this year’s series.

Friedman told the Daily Star: “Cheryl made some very big errors of choice this year and I don’t think she’ll win.”

He continued: “I think Cheryl went for people who would win votes instead of the better singers, but I think she made a mistake. I would have put Ethan [Boroian] and Duane [Lamonte] through.

 

“I don’t think Cheryl is pushing them enough. I don’t think she is choosing the right songs.”

Alexandra Burke wants to be the godmother to Cheryl Cole's kids

Alexandra Burke wants to be godmother to Cheryl Cole's children.

The 'Bad Boys' singer has remained close to the Girls Aloud star - who was her mentor on UK TV talent show 'The X Factor', which she won last year - and believes they will always share a special bond.

She said: "I definitely think we will always be friends. When she has her kids, I'm going to be godmother - I guarantee you. Or an auntie."

Alexandra - who is currently single - is also hoping her future children will one day play with Cheryl's brood.

Asked where she wants to be in five years time, Alexandra replied: "Probably on my third album - and they'll have all gone to number one. And, maybe, I'll be thinking about kids. Just thinking!"

Cheryl - who is married to soccer star Ashley Cole - recently revealed she is keen to become a mother soon.

She said: "Having a baby is important to me because I am from a big family. I have friends who have put it off and I don't want to do that. I feel like all this that I do is just make-believe and at the end of the make-believe I will always have my family. So if I am blessed, I would love a big family."

Cole set for singles chart record

Cheryl Cole
Cole performed Fight For This Love on Sunday night's X Factor

X Factor judge Cheryl Cole's first solo single is on course to become the year's biggest-seller so far, the Official Charts Company (OCC) has said.

Fight For This Love sold more copies on its first day than Alexandra Burke's single Bad Boys - the current UK number one - did on its first day last week.

Bad Boys is currently the fastest-selling single of the year so far, with 185,000 copies sold last week.

Girls Aloud star Cole performed her song on Sunday's X Factor results show.

The singer, 26, stepped away from the judge's chair to take to the stage in a performance described by chief judge Simon Cowell as "incredible".

Cowell, whose Syco record label is home to last year's X Factor winner Burke, added: "Unfortunately, you're going to be number one next week."

An average audience of 12.7 million viewers watched the show, while Cole's Girls Aloud bandmates and footballer husband Ashley were among members of the studio audience.

OCC managing director Martin Talbot said Cole's "amazing" first-day sales put her in "pole position to top the official singles chart on Sunday".

"She is likely to set the sales standard by which everyone will be judged for the rest of the year in the run-up to Christmas," he added.

Alexandra Burke was brilliant last week.

Cheryl got too much stick and even though she doesn't have the strongest voice her performance was entertaining.

Whitney Housten looked like she way way out of it, perhaps her drug taking days are not over.

Thought Simon was getting way over confident with his acts....although I do like them a lot, he needs to play it cool and stop being so bloody mean.

I missed Louis this week and cant wait for him to come back.

Miss Frank pull each other up

X FACTOR trio Miss Frank are clearly looking out for each other - as Graziella Affinita showed when she pulled up Shaniece Davis's trousers.

The big-voiced singer hed her pal as she got into a bit of a tricky situation outside the X Factor house today, after she exposed her belly to snappers.

X Factor finalist Jamie Archer arriving back at The X Factor House

Go with the 'fro ... Jamie Archer

Curvy Graziella admitted on her Twitter page that she'd pigged out on Pizza Hut grub last night.

If comes after TV Biz printed photos of her and some of the other X Factor wannabes scoffing their faces at a kebab shop today.

Meanwhile, Jamie 'Afro' Archer proved he was far from lacking in confidence when he stepped out wearing a t-shirt with his face and the words "Go with the 'fro" printed on it.

And fans continued to cause a frenzy around the hopefuls any time they left the house.

Dannii Minogue's girls, Stacey Solomon and Rachel Adedeji were swooped upon as they grabbed a meal at Nando's near the north London pad last night.

The show's producers give the finalists free food vouchers for the chain.

But Stacey and Rachel showed they had a wild streak by ignoring the 8.30pm curfew imposed on all the contestants.

Been reading what the papers are saying about Rikki blaming Cheryl.

I don't believe what the papers say anyway.
The problem is that one of the red tops prints something they have made up, then papers all round the globe copy and print it in their paper.

But 90% of it is pure imagination on the part of the editor etc, but if they told the tuth their probably wouldn't be a story.

Robbie backs twins to win X Factor

Robbie Williams has performed his first full concert for three years and shocked fans by backing cocky X Factor contestants the Grimes twins to win the show.

The former Take That singer performed to a sell-out crowd to open this year's BBC Electric Proms.

Williams opened the show at north London's trendy Roundhouse venue with new single Bodies and said: "You nearly made me cry then, but then I realised it's not The X Factor."

Williams, who appeared on the ITV1 show earlier this month, revealed he was a fan of twins John and Edward Grimes.

"Go for the twins," he told the crowd, who responded with deafening boos.

But he insisted: "John and Edward all the way."

The gig was watched by celebrities including radio DJ Fearne Cotton and singer Will Young.

Later the cheeky singer appeared to hold back tears as he revealed his hit Feel was his auntie's favourite song, saying: "I'm sure she's looking down now."

But he then deadpanned: "She's not dead - she's just condescending!"

Tuesday's performance also set a world record for the most simultaneous cinematic screenings of a live concert. The show was screened in more than 250 cinemas across 23 countries, meaning ten s of thousands of the singer's fans across Europe watched the show as it happened.
