X Factor (UK) 2012

I hope that's not the last we'll hear of Lucy Spraggan,she was a good singer.

For me, District3 were the weakest last night, but Kye did well. Not a big fan of Christopher. Union J did well.

District 13 were rubbish (again), but if 137000 people have bought Robbie Williams dreadful single (which sounds like a bad nursery rhyme) and made it number one, then there must be plenty of suckers out there who'll vote for a very average boy band. Can't believe Tulisa put Rylan through over Kye, but I guess she just wanted to put another nail in Gary Barlow's X Factor coffin. Looks like she's determined to sacrifice her last ounce of musical credibility and be remembered for being a brainless bimbo - thereby joining the dreadful Nicole Scherzinger who's proved to be a fully paid up member of that particular club! The best outcome now would be a Christopher v Rylan final, which would Serve Cowell right and bring an end to the annual farce that this show has become.

Next weekend's X Factor will have a Best of British theme, it has been confirmed.

All seven remaining acts - Rylan Clark, Ella Henderson, Jahmene Douglas, James Arthur, District 3, Union J and Christopher Maloney - are expected to cover classic British pop and rock tracks

Meanwhile, the special guests for next weekend's Results Show have been confirmed as last year's winners Little Mix, One Direction and Brit Award winner Ed Sheeran.

Little Mix will perform their latest single 'DNA', while One Direction will be showcasing the Sheeran-penned 'Little Things'.

Kye Sones became the latest act to be voted off The X Factor last night, losing out to Rylan Clark in a sing-off after the judges sent the final vote to Deadlock.

X Factor's ratings tumbled yet again over the weekend, losing out to Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday and Sunday in the long running ratings battle.

The X Factor continues on Saturday (November 10) at 8.05pm on ITV1.

Week:5

Best acts:
Ella Henderson
James Arthur
Jahmene Douglas

Worst acts:
District 3
Rylan Clark

It's getting a bit too rediculous that now they're down to the last seven acts that Rylan is still a contestant,with so many better singers getting sent off each week.

Jaheme or James to win they are constantly good but I think Ella isnt choosing the best songs lately but will make the final

I am happy Kye is gone found him too self assured and arrogant and up his own **** tbh believed the hype that he was so great the pratty fool

[tammyy2j]

Lucy will do well with her own songs X Factor gave her a starting off platform

Aren’t you being a little bit ‘mene, Tulisa?

X FACTOR judge Tulisa had a dig at timid contestant Jahmene Douglas — saying he’s unlikely to make it as a pop star.

Tulisa, whose remaining act is Ella Henderson, was asked if she thought people wouldn’t buy Jahmene’s music even though they voted for him.

She said: “I agree with that. That’s the way the cookie crumbles.”

Speaking on Birmingham's Free Radio Tulisa added: "If he does win, which obviously I hope Ella does, lets hope they do buy his CDs."

You can hear the full interview on the station today from 4pm.

X Factor ratings are heading in One Direction – down

DESPERATE X FACTOR bosses have drafted in One Direction to stop the ratings rot.

Producers are lining up a series of big-name acts to perform on Saturday nights after conceding the wannabes are no longer enough of a draw.

Chart stars have previously been saved for the Sunday night results.

But with Simon Cowell aghast at the show’s collapse in ratings, producers have been forced into drastic action.

One Direction will appear alongside the contestants tomorrow, with other top acts being lined up for the rest of the series.

Cowell is furious at the slide in Saturday night ratings, with last week’s show pulling in an average of just 7.6million viewers — down by a million viewers on the week before.

By comparison, BBC One rival Strictly pulled in a bumper 10million viewers last week — its biggest lead for more than six years.

An X Factor insider said: “Everyone is worried about the ratings, particularly Simon. Something has to be done.

“Producers have known for some time they’ve had a problem with the main show and have decided to bring in chart-topping acts with a big following to boost ratings.

“If anyone can save the Saturday show, it is One Direction, with their massive following. They are the biggest X Factor act ever and everyone hopes they will bring some of their fans with them.

“Simon always wants his shows to be number one and this is no different.

“He’ll do everything it takes to put The X Factor back on top.”

Experts predict District 3 will get axed this weekend and reckon Jahmene could beat Ella in X Factor final

District 3 and Rylan are favourites to get voted off the X Factor this weekend while Jahmene will battle Ella for winners crown
Good news for X Factor hopeful Jahmene Douglas - the giggling singer is nearly joint-favourite with Ella Henderson to win the show.

Since the former Asda employee has overcome his nerves on the live shows, betting types reckon he's going to go all the way with Ella (not like THAT).

They're predicting bad times for District 3, though. Betfair told us the latest odds that we didn't really understand (who uses fractions anymore, anyway?) and explained that the boyband are going to struggle to survive another week.

District 3 didn't give their best performance last weekend with their cover of Taio Cruz's hit single Dynamite.

And here are the important facts and figures you probably haven't really been waiting for...
