X Factor 2009

My fave performance was from Olly when he sang Saturday Night. My least favourite performances were from Danyl. How can Simon say Stacey's songs sound the same like a wedding singer? For me, Danyl's songs ALL sound the SAME!!! I know I'm a fan of Lloyd, but IMO "a million love songs" was a bad song choice for him.

Get Rhyd of Cheryl

X FACTOR runner up Rhydian Roberts reckons sexy judge Cheryl should be left out in the Cole - because she can't sing.

The Welsh warbler, who came second in 2007, says she's only on the panel because of her looks - and that acts struggle to take her comments seriously.

He raged: "She's not a great singer and being a judge isn't the hardest job in the world. You sit there and tell people when a note is flat. Cheryl's eye candy. Simon's the only judge people care about."

Rhydian cheekily added: "I'd do it for what they get paid."

But he's not impressed by this year's finalists. "The standard's not very good. John and Edward were the most entertaining but they can't sing. And Lloyd's lucky to still be there.

"Danyl's the best singer but the public don't seem to like him. Joe's second but his voice is a bit stage school. Olly's the most popular. He might be a late bloomer like Alexandra Burke who won last year."

One finalist who did impress Rhydian, 26, was fellow Welsh singer Lucie Jones. "We're friends. There's no romance yet but she's really hot," he grinned.

Rhydian's second album O Fortuna is out tomorrow and his debut shifted 600,000 copies. He admitted: "X Factor's not about singers now, it's about making good TV. You have to capitalise when you can because your X Factor star soon dwindles."

RAP star Eminem will become an X Factor judge after Simon Cowell sensationally offered him the job.

The Slim Shady singer is set to join the regular panellists after the music guru told him: “The job is yours.”

Eminem revealed last week he dreamed of becoming an X Factor judge – and last night Simon made his dream come true.

“It would be great to have him on as a guest judge,” he said. “Em – I can call him that because we are on first name terms – the job is yours.”

Eminem asked to join the panel because he is desperate to find a new rap star.

“So much average talent comes out of these reality shows,” said the 37-year-old. “It’s time to give people a chance who deserve it.”

The controversial rapper, whose own work is peppered with x-rated lyrics, added: “A hip-hop star will never win a show like X Factor without somebody like me on the panel. It needs somebody in power to open a door for them.”

Eminem will join Simon and fellow judges Cheryl Cole, 26, Dannii Minogue, 38, and Louis Walsh, 57, in next year’s series after Simon revealed all this year’s panellists would return for the 2010 contest.

“I’m not getting rid of anyone!” said the 50-year-old, whose show has chalked up record ratings this year after he changed the format to allow audiences at the auditions and moved the results show to Sunday.


But he did fear Saturday’s show would be missing its usual sparkle after 18-year-old Irish twins John and Edward Grimes were voted off.

However, he said last night he thought the remaining five acts had upped the ante.

“I was nervous that we were going to miss the twins,” confessed Simon.

“Strangely, we have all become quite attached to them.

“But I did feel that this week it was just about the singing.” But the ratings did drop by half a million to 14million.

One fan wrote on an X Factor message board: “It’s not the same without you John and Edward! The sparkle has gone from the show.”
