The X Factor - Gamu Nhengu releasing Christmas single

It's not over yet. I'm sure you remember Gamu Nhengu? The X Factor Finalist girl that Cheryl Cole didn't pick to be in her top 3 or wild-card and the nation rioted and sent death threats to our national sweetheart and generally went crazy? No? Really? That should remind you.


Anyways guess what? She's back and wants to kick The X Factor's ass! She's releasing a christmas song to battle the X Factor's winner's single for charity. 


No seriously though, the song is for a charity called Aberlour, which helps disadvantaged children in Stirling. (Where is that?)


Speaking about the song Gamu said : "From the minute I heard the song, I loved it. This is the first time I have done anything like this, so I was really honoured when Mr Clifford asked me to record it."


Ablerlour said: "We have had a long association with Gamu, who has sung at our Christmas concert for the past three years. A small record company in Glasgow has taken the song on as a charitable project to release it in a small way because we can't spend a lot of money on the single. Gamu has always had an amazing talent. Even when she did our Christmas concerts, she stunned the audience with the power and emotion in her voice. We have always known she is a talented young person. The song is a good, strong one for Christmas. It is a festive song. The power and emotion of Gamu's voice shines through. We always knew she is a great talent."


The track 'Where Will You Sleeping This Christmas?' will be released on 13th December and you can check it out below!

The X Factor - It's Only A TV Show!

There's been alot of talk about The X Factor this week, ever since Cheryl Cole didn't pick Gamu Nhengu to be in her final 3. 

There were rumors that producers of the show told Cheryl not to pick the Zimbabwean because she might be sent home because her visa to stay in the UK will run out. Turns out those rumors could be true as Gamu and her family have been ordered to leave the country or face deportation. 

Reports came in today that Cheryl has been getting "death threats" for not picking the singer. One threat went like this:

"Every1 has a bullet for you. I've never felt like dis over xfactor until u told gambu she is not going to the live show. Dat cheryl was da biggest mistake of your life. U want to act innocent on tv like you don't know wat ur doing. But we all know how racist you are. Wat u have now done is f*** up every white girls lives who's silly mothers dat named der child cheryl. Cuz I'm just going to f***** bang drop dem and dey won't even know why. You are a hater. You can't sing 2 save your life. So to make yourself happy you want to get rid off all the good singers you know will make you look s***. Nobody wants to buy ur album."





The message, apparently sent from Tottenham in North London. Cheryl was warned not to visit the area because she would be "punched until she bleeds".


This is unbelievably ridiculous!! It's a TV Show. Why are people kicking up a fuss because someone didn't get through? Chances are, the people who are getting angry and sending threats wouldn't even vote for Gamu if she did get through to the live shows. It's sickening that Cheryl is being sent death threats and called a racist. She was married to Ashley Cole. She's hardly racist. I guess some people don't even know the meaning of the word. I also hate the fact that people say "That's it, I'm never watching the X Factor again!" Why lie? You know you are. Reading people's statuses when The X Factor was on, on Sunday, it was laughable and cringey how angry people were getting because some people didn't get through. 

It's a TV Show!!! An Entertainment TV Show! Rant over. What do you think about all this?
