It was Take That and Elton John week on The X Factor, with the finalists each singing two songs — one from each artist. Rihanna and Alicia Keys performed on tonight's show, which was the first where the entire elimination was down to the public vote with the judges having no input. Lloyd was announced as the act that would leave the competition, which wasn't really a surprise after the reactions to his performances on Saturday night.

The X Factor's Stacey Solomon had a fun time yesterday, getting in to the Christmas mood by ice skating with Dannii Minogue at Somerset House, and then laughing with Olly Murs as the pair arrived back at the contestants' house after rehearsals. There have been rumours of a romance between the pair, which show choreographer Brian Friedman has denied, so perhaps they are just good friends. However, Stacey has apparently split with her on-off boyfriend, and she certainly thinks a lot of Olly, saying she would have quit the show if it wasn't for him.

It was George Michael week on The X Factor, with the finalists singing a mix of his solo material and songs from his Wham! days. Susan Boyle and Mariah Carey performed on tonight's show, where we also found out that the finalists' charity single for Great Ormond Street Hospital — "We Are not Alone" — is number one in the charts!

On Sunday night's X Factor, Dannii Minogue sent the lovely Lucie on her way. Although the evening was sad (and in my opinion unfair), Dannii said her goodbye in style, sporting an asymmetrical bob. The right side of her hair was longer than the left, and the left side of her fringe was longer than her right!

As I've been discussing The X Factor with you on Twitter over the past few weeks, I've noticed there's two things that always get people talking. One is John & Edward, and the other is the group songs that the entire group of contestants do at the beginning of Sunday's results show. The new addition to the show was started this series when the programme moved to two nights instead of one.

It was Rock week on The X Factor this week, where Lucie Jones looked rather like Kristen Stewart during her performance of "Sweet Child of Mine" and John & Edward divided opinion yet again with their version of "We Will Rock You"! Danyl Johnson's confidence was very obviously knocked by being in the bottom two last week, and his performance was pretty shaky, but the public brought him back. Bon Jovi and JLS performed on tonight's show as we waited for the results, which brought surprisingly bad news for Rachel Adedeji and Lloyd Daniels, who were the bottom two in the public vote after their performances on Saturday.

It's Rock week on The X Factor this week — in honour of Bon Jovi performing tonight! After John & Edward's attention grabbing performances like "Oops I Did It Again" in previous weeks, they got everyone talking with their performance of "We Will Rock You". It definitely resembled the 5ive version more than the Queen version, but they were put through a lot of choreography again by Brian Friedman.

Kylie Minogue was glowing at an Art Awards event in New York City yesterday, wearing a shimmering nude dress and sparkly shoes. Earlier she'd looked casual wearing some large geek chic black rimmed glasses and a checked shirt as she arrived in the city at JFK airport, but she glammed up for the event which she attended alongside Julianne Moore. Accompanied by her hubby Bart Freundlich, Julianne looked fab in her slate grey dress.

It was big band week on The X Factor this week — not that you'd know from John & Edward's bizarre performance of "She Bangs" and Jamie Archer singing U2's "Angels of Harlem"! Saturday night's show featured Michael Buble mentoring the contestants, and a standout performance by Rachel Adedeji, who I felt improved greatly on previous weeks. Michael and Westlife performed on tonight's show as we waited for the results, which brought surprisingly bad news for Danyl Johnson and Miss Frank, who were the bottom two in the public vote after their performances on Saturday night.
