The Official X Factor Thread 2009 - PLEASE POST HERE

[Shoed]

Hello,

basically informing you X Factor is starting on the 22nd August!
and there has been plenty of rumours and updates made to the show
(which you may know/not know already).

. The judges usually use 'helicopters' to move around different cities, this year they are using speed boats. Simon liked the idea of it being 'James Bond' themed.

. There is a live audience throughout auditions and bootcamp (I think you already know this).

Rumours about contestants!
. The mixed race girl out of S Club Juniors (Not sure on her name and its not Rochelle because shes in The Saturdays) auditioned this year, and got through with 4 almighty YES's, Simon said 'she was amazing'.

. A lad out of the band who made ONE TRUE VOICE (runners up to girls aloud) has also auditioned for this years X Factor, and got through the audition process.

Cheryl Cole vs Danni Mingoue
The fashion wars are on! and IMO I think they both look great, but obviously Cheryl looks better, but never the less, there is a ten year age difference.

Apperantly the judges got informed what category they'll be mentoring a few days ago, and its TIPPED that Cheryl Cole or Simon will win the show.

No judge has won it two years in a row, Cheryl Cole is tipped to be the first judge.

Cheryl Cole's wage got increased for this year's show by £400k, Danni's stayed the same...

I believe Cheryl is on 1.4 Million and Danni is like on 400k, Big different, eh.

Live Performances
Alexandra Burke will be the first artist to perform in the ACTUAL LIVE SHOWS, she'll be promoting her new single and album (which are still untitled/unknown). 2 of her songs previously got leaked but Simon confirmed neither will be singles, and that they might not even be album tracks.

Other artists/bands tipped to perform on this year's X Factor:
Madonna
Shakira
Beyonce (Considering she'll be in the UK doing her tour)
Westlife (Come-back)
Leona Lewis
Shayne Ward
Diana Vickers and Laura White
Maybe we'll see JLS, but I doubt it considering JLS aren't nothing to do with Simon anymore...
Girls Aloud wont be performing on this year's X Factor due to the girls having a year and a half break, they'll be making a come-back in 2010's X Factor.

PLEASE POST ANY UPDATES ABOUT X FACTOR IN HERE, its the official thread

Has it really been a year since last x factor

[lick]

I say it will be longer before girlaloud are back togeather seeing as cheryl and nadine are working on solo albums

and why dont jls have anything to do with simon?

[Samantha.]

I love x factor!
Especially the auditions !

[Kardan]

If it's said that Simon and Cheryl got the best groups, that would mean they have the girls and boys between them - meaning Simon will have the girls, and Cheryl will have the boys since they won't have the same groups as last year, meaning Louis has the Over 25s and Dannii has the groups.

Right... So they are going to use a speed boat to get from London to Birmingham and Manchester :S

How thats going to work I honestly do not know! Maybe, seeing though Simon thinks he can do anything, they will magically get lots of water and flood the m6 and travel down it on their speed boats

i watched the auditions live :p

Has it really been a year since last x factor
