Stacey Skates With Dannii and Gets Close to X Factor Pal Olly

PopSugarUK — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:08:28 -0800

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. Olly's twin brother also said he wouldn't be surprised if a relationship developed.

John & Edward are the Seventh Act to Leave The X Factor!

PopSugarUK — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:54:19 -0800

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 show Olly Murs and John & Edward were given the news that they were in the bottom two of the public vote this week.

Simon, Cheryl and Dannii voted for John and Edward to go, while only Louis voted for Olly to leave. This leaves Louis with no acts left in the competition. What do you think - did they deserve to leave the competition?

Love It or Hate It? Dannii Minogue's Asymmetrical Hair

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:00:00 -0800

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! Dannii's always doing something funky with her look either styling it in a quiff or crimping the top. Vote on what you think of this particular hairstyle below.

X Factor Group Songs - Love Them or Leave Them?

PopSugarUK — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:00:00 -0800

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. Complaints have included that they're cheesy and that the contestants all mime, while their defenders say it's good to see them all working together! I'd love to know what you think about them, so here's this week's - "Walk This Way". Do you love them, or would you like to just leave them?

Rachel Adedeji is the Fourth Act to Leave The X Factor

PopSugarUK — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 12:55:18 -0800

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.

Rachel was in the bottom two for the third time, and Lloyd has been sick this weekend and his voice cracked a few times during his performance tonight. Dannii and Louis voted to save Rachel, while Cheryl and Simon vote to save Lloyd, taking it to deadlock. Rachel was then announced as the act that would leave due to the public vote. What do you think - did she deserve to leave the competition? Let me know.

John & Edward "We Will Rock You" - Amazing or Awful?

PopSugarUK — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:00:00 -0700

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. The Grimes twins were also covered in guyliner, with black streaks in their hair to rock things up a bit! Their singing wasn't great and they were totally out of time during one section, but they certainly entertained - what did you think?

Kylie and Julianne Get Arty, While Dannii Dishes to Piers

PopSugarUK — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:07:46 -0700

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.

Kylie's sister Dannii Minogue will appear on Piers Morgan's Life Stories this weekend to talk about some tough times in her life including doing her nude shoot in Playboy to get out of debt, and also talking about Kylie's battle with cancer. She revealed that the family are still cautious regarding the illness, particularly as her sister hasn't reached the five year all clear mark yet. Will you watch tomorrow night?

Miss Frank is the Third Act to Leave The X Factor

PopSugarUK — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 14:02:48 -0700

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.

Louis voted for Danyl to leave the competition, Simon and Dannii voted for Miss Frank to go, and then Cheryl voted for Danyl so that it would go to dead lock and the public vote would be final. Miss Frank were then announced as the act that would leave. What do you think - did they deserve to leave the competition? Let me know.

John & Edward "Oops I Did It Again" - Amazing or Awful?

PopSugarUK — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:48:46 -0700

Last night The X Factor contestants took part in Diva Week, paying tribute to amazing female vocalists like Whitney Houston, Leona Lewis and Christina Aguilera. I don't think anyone can deny that the performance that got people talking was those twins taking on Britney Spears "Oops I Did It Again" - including the cheesy talking part in the middle of the song. Wearing red PVC suits, eighteen year old John and Edward took the song on with a lot of energy and while their singing wasn't on top form it was certainly a very entertaining performance - but did you think it was amazing, or awful? Let me know!
