I really like Joe at the minute

I just remembered him.. think Top 3 would be him, Jamie and either Danyl, Miss Frank or Stacey.. As much as I love Olly, I don't think he will make top 3..

I like Jamie but don't know how he'll do in Big Band week.

So do I. I've liked him ever since his first audition. Him and Miss Frank are my favourite acts.

[Chloe O'brien]

Am I the only one who does'nt rate Danyl. He has got a good voice but his attiude stinks he has to show off all the time. He hasn't got the likeablity that Olly and Jamie have and if Simon was to loose an act, which he will do in the coming weeks. I'd rather Danyl went before Olly or Jamie.

And he insists he’s happy to do it

Simon Cowell is to sign a new ITV deal tying him to the channel for another two years – after agreeing a £3.5million pay CUT.

Instead of earning around £6.7million a year for producing and starring in X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, he will get an annual salary closer to £5million.

But Simon, 50, who is poised to sign the contract in days, is delighted, saying: “I wouldn’t work anywhere else.”

The acid-tongued judge is proud that the sixth series of X Factor has topped last year’s ratings. And he’s “cock-a-hoop” after Britain’s Got Talent became the most watched show of the last five years when 19million tuned in to see May’s final.

ITV bosses are thrilled their biggest star will remain through the recession, which has seen advertising revenues tumble.

Simon’s £10million earnings are tied into bumper production fees to his company Syco – soon to become Greenwell Entertainment after his link-up with retail mogul Philip Green. A source said: “The deal ensures the budgets for the programmes Simon loves to make are left more or less intact.”

Simon said recently: “ITV gave me my break and I’d never leave them. I have given my word, contract or no contract.”

Tonight’s X Factor sees the return of judge Louis Walsh, who has been absent since the sudden death of his close pal and protege, Boyzone singer Stephen Gately.

He will rejoin Simon, Cheryl Cole and Danni Minogue

for the show, with crooner Michael Buble mentoring acts including twins John and Edward Grimes, Stacey Solomon and Lucie Jones.

POP legend George Michael will make a sensational comeback on X Factor, we can reveal.

The superstar, above, is in secret talks with show bosses about a shock appearance on December's final, expected to be watched by 20 MILLION people.

An insider told the News of the World: "This is a cloak-and-dagger operation. Everything surrounding George's appearance is shrouded in secrecy.

"We're all very excited because nobody saw it coming. It's a real coup.

"And this will be a huge way for him to return to the music scene."

Former Wham! star George, whose hits include I Want Your Sex, was one of the world's biggest music stars in the 80s and 90s. But his career has stalled in recent years - and controversy has dogged his personal life.

His last studio album was Patience is 2004.

X Factor has signed up Beyonce, Pink and Shakira for performances, and is currently in negotiations with Queen of Pop Madonna.
