The X Factor - General Discussion

Simon Cowell has been offered a lifetime's supply of free food from roadside restaurant chain Little Chef.

The X Factor judge recently commented that he would rather dine in a Little Chef than eat French cuisine, which he hates.

The firm was so pleased with the backhanded compliment that it has crowned him an "honorary member of the team".

"We don't bestow the title of honorary member of the team on just anyone. We've invited him to his local Little Chef for a meal," chief executive Ian Pegler told The Sun

HA! love it!

Cheryl Cole has reportedly caught laryngitis from her X Factor contestant Diana Vickers.

According to The Mirror, Cole fell ill after Saturday's live show. Vickers was forced to pull out of last weekend's episode because of the bug.

The Girls Aloud singer is also rumoured be suffering from stress following Laura White's exit last week.

"She took the day off on Monday to recuperate and even postponed promotional work," said a source.

"Her schedule is packed right up until the show and she is doing her best to get well. She can hardly speak, her throat is so bad."

The public and the judges could vote for Diana based on previous performances

Sorry to say again but its unfair that she gets a automatic pass

Completely agree especially as she was seen shouting her mouth off at fireworks that week somehing tells me she couldn't handle Mariah week

DIANA Vickers is still in agony with laryngitis — but WILL perform tomorrow no matter what.

The 17-year-old X Factor favourite is having trouble even talking but has vowed to take to the stage after missing last week’s live show.

The ITV1 talent hit’s creative director Brian Friedman told TV Biz: “I was with Diana in rehearsals yesterday.

“Her throat still hurts, she couldn’t talk at full volume, she was having trouble swallowing — but she wants to perform. Diana is going to go on stage no matter what this week.”

The teen from Blackburn, Lancs, was back at a doctor in London’s Harley Street yesterday for a throat check.

She missed last week’s show on doctor’s orders, upsetting some viewers as she got a free pass through while Laura White, 21, sang but got the boot.

Her fellow finalists were also sent for check-ups to ensure they were bug-free.

But they passed fit and will join Diana for the Best of British-themed episode.

didn't that rick waller leave the show because he couldn't perform?...and he had a really great voice.
Personally i think diana should've gone,if you can't perform then you're out...let's hope that the public vote her off this week to prove a point.

surely if she doesn't get any votes she'll go.

Thats kinda like saying that if you have a sick day from work, then you get sacked.

no its not but this is a singing contest, if u cant sing then it kind of defeats the purpose, and laura managed to sing through a throat infection and survive one week

Exactly, I mean I still dont understand why people have a problem with it, Its happened before and its not like people wasted their votes for her to go through anyway, cos votes cant be made in the week.
I think it should be allowed for the one week and it was

Yes but Dainas was much worse, looking from what weve seen and all the dcotors reports, lauras would have been a bad short one, but nothing like dianas
