They are the Joke Factor instead of the X Factor
i cant believe the twins have got through they cant even sing! :wall:
i really really like stacy, shes has such a good personality hope she wins or the man with the afro (cant remember his name) :lol:
:heart: :love: :heart: :love:
hopefully the twins will be voted off straight away :thumbsup: what is Louis thinking
Kandy Rain and John&Edward are the worst in the top 12 hopefully they will be eliminated firstQuote:
The final 12 X Factor contestants have been revealed.
The hopefuls, who will perform in live shows from next week, were chosen while at the judges' houses.
The successful girls, picked by Dannii Minogue with the help of her sister Kylie, are 18-year-old Lucie Jones, single mum Stacey Solomon and Rachel Adedeji, who got to bootcamp last year.
On hearing the news, Jones asked Minogue if she was joking before adding that everyone in her village will be proud of her. Adedeji squealed, "Yes!" and hugged Minogue, while Solomon sobbed: "I can't believe it, I didn't think I could do it."
Louis Walsh, who is in charge of the groups, was next to pick his finalists and chose Kandy Rain, twins John & Edward and Miss Frank, who were formed at bootcamp after failing to get through as solo artists.
After hearing the decision, Miss Frank squealed, while John & Edward laughed and hugged Louis. Kandy Rain looked shocked and said that they were "so happy".
Cheryl Cole, who is mentoring the boys, selected 16-year-old Lloyd Daniels, Joseph McElderry and Rikki Loney, who got to the bootcamp stage of the competition last year.
On hearing the news, Loney began to cry and told Cole that he would win the show for her. Daniels grinned: "I can't believe it!" while McElderry exclaimed: "No way! I won't let you down, I promise."
Simon Cowell, looking after the over-25s, decided to put teacher Danyl Johnson, Olly Murs and Jamie Archer, also known as Jamie Afro, through to the live shows.
Johnson dropped to his knees when he heard that he was a finalist, while Murs began to cry and promised: "I'm going to give it everything I've got." Finally, Archer hugged Cowell, and said: "Thank you so much! Tell me you mean it! I can't believe it."
The X Factor live shows begin next Saturday at 8pm on ITV1.
I cant believe Simon didn't put Nicole through :(
I think Simon may win this year, with those two lads, if they can keep it up, not really been watching but the impression i get people seem to be upset with putting though the twins.
Jamie Afro to win he by far the best in the 12 closely followed by Lucie
I think this is Simon's year with Ollie being a dark horse of the competition. What on earth was Louis thinking about putting John and Edward through is he just doing that to wind up Simon. Project A and the guys doing the duet were much better than those two and Kandy Rain.
Miss Frank are my favourite! Can't believe they've only just got together - they fit together so naturally and are really quirky. In short, they were awesome! My favourite performance from the judges houses.
I'm really surprised a girl from the over 25s didn't go through.
I would have choosen Nicole over Daniel. Daniel is a good singer but I just wish he would sing a song without all the gimmicks. If he gets it wrong in the live shows he out on his ass and I think he will be the first one of Simon's voted off.
Those 2 irish lads are the most pointless act I have ever seen on X factor.. even my kids groan when they come on ... I love Olly!!!
yep jamie afro to win!!Quote:

BTW who decides what judges gets what category?
I wish the public could vote on that also.
I thought Cheryl was cruel to Daniel Fox who imo was better than her picks Lloyd Daniels, Joseph McElderry and Rikki Loney :angry:
Shakira has confirmed that she will perform her new single during the live rounds of this year's X Factor.
The 'Hips Don't Lie' star told You Call The Hits on The Hits Radio that she was looking forward to her appearance on the reality talent show.
Shakira said: "Believe it, believe it because it's true, I'm definitely confirmed. I'm going to be singing, I'm going to be dancing - the whole nine yards!"
Regarding the continued success of her current single 'She Wolf', she added: "I hope I don't drive people mad with the song being played over and over again."
Other acts confirmed to appear on this year's X Factor include ex-Take That singer Robbie Williams and Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle.

Discussing Simon Cowell's Over-25s category, he continued: "He always gets the best ones. They've all been round the block a fair bit. They've all got more experience than mine."
Cowell, who joined Walsh at the ceremony, criticised his co-star for not being more supportive of the bands.
He is quoted by MSN as saying: "They're not exactly going to have bags of confidence after this, are they?
"It's not a question of being spoiled for choice, it's how you prepare your contestants on the day. And I prepare my contestants better than the others."
The first X Factor live show airs on Saturday at 8pm on ITV1.

I can see the twins getting quite far as long as the public is voting, like the McDonalds brothers last year or the year before, just to annoy Simon. :D But I think he is right, the girl groups won't win either.
i was watching gmtv yesterday and the reason why simon didnt put nicole through is because simon will want a boy to win this year which is a shame because she is so good but she said she will probably apply next year
I didn't want him to put Nicole through anyway, she was far too shouty for my liking.
does anyone know if theres a theme this week on x factor, robbie williams maybe? as he is on the results show on sunday. im so looking forward to saturday and the 1st live show should be good.
Whitney Houston is to perform on The X Factor, it has been confirmed.
The singer will make her first UK TV performance in 12 years on the October 18 Sunday results show.
"I have always loved my UK fans and I'm thrilled to perform for them on The X Factor," she said. "I am also a fan of Simon Cowell's and look forward to meeting him. It should be a fun night."
Houston will release I Look To You, her first studio album since 2002, the day after her X Factor performance. The album debuted at number one on the US albums chart last month.
This week's X Factor results show will feature performances from Robbie Williams and Alexandra Burke. Shakira has also confirmed that she will perform on the ITV1 talent show this year.

I was surprised Louis got the groups again this year i think Cheryl or Dannii might have done better with the groupsQuote:
Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell are at war over their categories.
The Irishman reckons he doesn’t stand a chance of winning the show with his bands.
And he believes Simon has been handed the strongest group in the compet*ition.
“I’ll get into the final but I won’t win,” said Louis, adding that Simon was spoiled for choice as the mentor of the over-25s.
Louis said: “He always gets the best ones.
“They’ve all been round the block a fair bit. They’ve all got more experience than mine.”
But Simon, who turns 50 today, criticised 57-year-old Louis’ attitude about his finalists.
He said: “Oh that’s positive, thanks for taking part.
“They’re not exactly going to have bags of confidence after this, are they?
“It’s not a question of being spoiled for choice, it’s how you prepare your contestants on the day. And I prepare my contestants better than the others.”
But they both agreed that fellow judges Cheryl Cole, 26, and Dannii Minogue, 37, had the “dark horses” in their boys and girls groups.
Among Dannii’s faves is Stacey Solomon, 20, from Essex, but Simon is backing his over-25s including rocker Jamie Archer, 33, alias Jamie Afro.
whitney has confirmed that she will be on the x factor on the 18th october...so looking forward to that :thumbsup:
[quote=tammyy2j;687440]Apparently in the Metro today, his groups spoke out saying it was all a bluff and that if everyone thinks he won't win, it will make a surprise exciting finish to the competitionQuote:

Lucie Jones has said that the theme of X Factor's Week One performances is "up in the air".Quote:

"We're not really sure [what the theme is]," Jones told DS. "It's been up in the air. It's been chopped and changed quite a bit."
When asked whether she is concerned about the pressure of being one of the favourites in this year's show, Jones said: "I'm taking it one week at a time. I'm concentrating on this Saturday's show. Then on Sunday morning, I'll be thinking about my survivor song if I'm in the bottom two. I'm not looking at the odds and stuff because I think it would play on my mind so much."
Speaking about her first performance, rival female singer Rachel Adedeji explained: "For the first week, I will probably be dancing because I'm doing quite a big song. So I'll be grooving it up. We're all doing different styles of songs, so some of us will be dancing, some won't."
The X Factor airs on Saturday at 8pm on ITV1.

I think Cheryl should have chosen Ethan.
Just been catching up, I really wanted that other Daniel to go through :(
ITV
Tabloid reports have claimed that Simon Cowell may miss the first X Factor live show due to illness.
According to the Daily Star, the judge is currently "laid up at home" and has only been able to keep in contact with his Over-25s group by phone. Cowell is mentoring Jamie Archer, Olly Murs and Danyl Johnson.
If he misses the show, it will be the first time he has been absent from the series in the programme's history. The 50-year-old reportedly came down with flu after holding large birthday celebrations last weekend.
However, according to Cowell's spokesperson and ITV1, he is still expected to take part this weekend. "We are expecting all four judges here on Saturday," said a show source.
Line up girls who wants to play nurse maid to Mr Cowell to help sweat the flu out of him.:wub:
Sinitta but i doubt she wear enough clothes for a nurse :rolleyes:Quote:

Well, I actually thought I'd want the twins off this week, BUT I actually want Lloyd to go. Cheryl made a terrible decision with him. Should've been Ethan.
Wow Dannii.. what a b****!! Danyl's performance was honestly totally amazing (the best of the night I would say) and she clearly felt he was a big threat to her girls in order to say something like that! Totally unneccessary and spiteful!! :eek:
What did Dannii mean when she said that to Danyl. I only caught the last 3 acts and I agree with Louis and Cheryl he can be too cocky and it maybe his downfall. He needs to just sing the song without all the gimmicks and drama, but the judges need to keep their comments within reference to the perfomance not what is being said in the papers.
For me tonight the top performances were Danyl and Miss Frank. I was disappointed with Jamie Afro i think the backing singers and band were heard more than him until the end when he nailed it.
Rikki and Lloyd were disasters and i expected **** twins and kandy rain to be terrible and they were.
Has Louis had some work done to his face? He seemed to have had botox and if i remember correctly didnt he lay into Danni about that.
I was wondering myself what on earth was wrong with Louis eyes. He looked so strange.
Some great performances tonight. My faves were Danyl and Lloyd, both are gorgeous :wub: :heart:
Not as good looking as Mr Cowell though. :DQuote:

Lloyd and John and Edward were both terrible in my opinion and I think one of them should go tomorrow, but I think that will be unlikely. Lloyd's looks will keep him in the show until possibly the final and John and Edward will stay in because Simon made clear how awful he thought they were and how much of a worry that they could both win and the public will thrive on this and keep them in for the comedy value..
The lyrics to Danyl's song was changed and Dannii questioned him over why he changed them, referencing to his sexuality. I don't see what the massive problem is but I expect there will be endless complaints from the public as the public like to complain about anything these days. I think what she was trying to say, was that it's more important if he stayed true to himself and not change the lyrics, instead of going all out to impress his potential female fans that would pick up the phone and vote for him.Quote:

What is so taboo about it?
I wonder what is so taboo about Danyl and is sexuality? What the hell was Dannii attempting to prove? For the first time I started to dislike Dannii as I thought she would never attempt to play silly under the belt games like this one
additionally how bad was that Ricki moron!? I'm sorry but i take an immediate dislike to anyone who murders an Amy Winehouse song. If you can't just justice to her amazing songs, dont even attempt to go near them. He iritated me already with his stupid hates and ridiculous eyebrow!!! I want him out, he's as iritating as Leon was in series 4.
Yeah, I didn't think he was very good last night. His styling was awful too. I thought his audition was brilliant though.Quote:
