Have to agree, Same Difference should put on a great show - not sure about Nikki - Hot stuff is a great song, but I dont think she is diva enough to pull it off IMHO.

X Factor producers have had a row with Strictly Come Dancing over having Kylie perform on their show.

The popstar has agreed to appear on the ITV show's final on December 15 and the BBC dance contest on December 1.

According to The Sun, the X Factor bosses are furious that Minogue is due to appear on the rival show and have tried to reschedule her appearance.

A source commented: "The shows are so competitive. When X Factor found out about Strictly’s plan to get her on the show before them, they told Kylie that she either appears on November 24 or not at all."

A spokesperson for the popstar said: "We are in discussions with both shows."

Im sorry but that is stupid, she can do what she wants, its not like its on the same night

Shayne Ward has claimed that only one of this year’s X Factor finalists has genuine talent.

The 2005 winner, who performed new single 'Breathless' on last week's show, believes opera singer Rhydian Roberts is the only remaining contestant who can hold a tune.

He said: “I think Rhydian will win - he’s the only one of them who can really sing."

However, he added: “I like Beverley. She seems such a nice person and has a good voice."

He also tipped girl band Hope, saying: “And you’ve got five good-looking girls in Hope who can put on a show.”

Record-breaking pop group Girls Aloud have offered advice to this week's X Factor hopefuls.

The all-female five-piece met the seven remaining acts in their role as this week's X Factor celebrity mentors.

Group member Cheryl Cole told Leon Jackson that she "adored him", while her colleague Sarah Harding branded Beverley Trotman's rehearsal performance of 'I'm Every Woman' "absolutely fabulous".

The group then urged Rhydian Roberts not to worry that his performance of 'Go West' might be too flamboyant, telling him to "make it as camp as you can - the camper the better."

"You're a showman, you're entertainment and you bring a classical twist to whatever you sing," the girls assured him.

'X Factor' act advised to ignore Louis

Girls Aloud have told X Factor finalists Same Difference to ignore their former manager Louis Walsh.

The pop five-piece were formed on 2002's Popstars: The Rivals - a forerunner of The X Factor - on which Walsh appeared as a judge.

Walsh proceeded to manage the record-breaking girl group until 2005, but Girls Aloud were quick to side with Same Difference in their long-running feud with the pop svengali.

"Louis is going to hate [your performance], so ignore him and put your fingers in your ears," they told the brother/sister duo. "Maybe he's doing you a favour. You've got the 'e' factor – the entertainment factor – so camp it up, because you can get away with it."

Girls Aloud have insisted that they don't feel threatened by X Factor girl group Hope.

The pop five-piece, who have scored 16 top ten hits since forming on Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, met Hope in their role as this week's X Factor celebrity mentors.

The established hit-makers told the young hopefuls that "there's plenty of room for a new girl band in the charts", before proceeding to advise Hope on how to cope with unwanted tabloid attention.

"Keep yourselves clean, stay out of trouble and try not to read about yourself in the papers," warned Nadine Coyle. "What you don’t know can't hurt you and most of the time it is all made up!"
