4th April 2011 Round-Up

So what happened on this fine Monday? Glad you asked really, here's your round-up for today!


1. Wor Cheryl has been confirmed for US X Factor?


Apparently so. Confirmed judge L.A Reid (still no idea who he is) was quoted saying that he had no idea who the 4th judge was but he hoped they have a good connection with himself, Simon and Cheryl. Cat out the bag much? Let's ask this question though. Should Cheryl judge the American version of X Factor? I mean really. In my opinion, I don't think she should. First of all if she did, it would dampen my hopes of Girls Aloud getting back together at some point before 2012. Second of all, I'm not sure if the America population know who you are? And will they have the same reaction to you as we did, I highly doubt it. Just stick to the UK version Cheryl man. American readers! This question goes to you! Do you know who Cheryl Cole is? (don't use google)


2. The Vampire Diaries is back!





After another small break, one of my favourite TV Shows is back for it's final 6 episodes of the season and by the looks of things, their gonna be deadly! VD returns to UK screens on 12th April on ITV2! Exciting!


3. Kedollarsignha is touring the UK!


I love that skank but I hate her because she's not coming to where I live. Ke$ha has announced she will be touring the UK for the first time headlining. There's only a few dates which is quite shocking considering how big and well known she is. Confused. Anyway, here's the dates and where she's playing:

• June 23 & 24 -Glastonbury Festival
• July 3 - Birmingham Academy
• July 9 - T in the Park Festival
• July 11- Manchester Apollo
• July 13 - London HMV Hammersmith Apollo

If your lucky enough to live near those places or happen to be going to those festivals, I have a strong dislike towards you, unless you take me with you of course. Then I'll be your best friend forever :)

4. Adele is a record breaker!

She's really going places isn't she? And don't we all know it. Adele has broke yet another record with her massive album 21. On Sunday it charted again at the top spot becoming the first album in 25 years to hold onto Number 1 for 10 consecutive weeks. Her debut album also sits on number 2 and is the second best selling album of 2011 so far, after of course 21. Impressive isn't even the word to describe her success. 

5. Fancy some Glee news?

Well here's some amazing news. You might already know that a future episode (18 to be exact) will feature around Lady GaGa's smash song 'Born This Way'. Apparently the episode has so much stuff going on, it's been extended to 90 minutes! Brilliant. Executive producer Ian Brennan confirmed the extension after it was rumoured last week. He said that he is very excited because they have to cut down most episodes and throw away alot of good stuff, and now with this episode they get more screen time. I bet it's going to be amazing! 

2nd April 2011 Round-Up

So what happened today in the world of celebrity and TV and movies and music and stuff? Glad you asked because here's your daily round up ;)




1. Simon Cowell will appear on our X Factor?


Yeah, I'm sick of hearing about it too, but lets be honest, it's news worthy. There's been lots of talk over the past few months about who will be on the X Factor judging panel on both sides of the Atlantic. So it looks like Simon  WILL continue to judge our version as it was rumoured he wouldn't.

I AM GOD! 

Let's be real here for a second. The UK X Factor would not be the same without our beloved Simon! He's partly the reason we watch it because he's brutally honest with the terrible singers which we all love! Imagine watching the show without his witty comments or his dislike of twins and Louis Walsh! Imagine. How boring would it be? While this is all just hear say, I really don't think Simon will leave us for America. If he can do both shows that would be great. Just nap on the jet yeah?


2. Essex/Blue drama!


I know you have all been watching the new series of TOWIE! And you've been loving it right? So we have a few new characters and one of them being Chloe Sims who just recently revealed she has a child! After i picked my jaw up of the floor, today it was revealed by Simon Webb's (from Blue) girlfriend that she found him in bed with Chloe Sims! DRAMA ALERT! Obviously she decided to sell her story to a newspaper and said she found them her on top of him in their bed and she was devastated. Both Simon Webb and Chloe from Essex deny the accusations from the girl that SOLD HER STORY TO THE NEWSPAPERS EXPOSING HER FAMOUS BOYFRIEND AS A CHEAT JUST BEFORE HE'S ABOUT THE REPRESENT HIS COUNTRY AT EUROVISION. Yeah.


3. Here! The Hangover Part II has a new trailer!


Let's have a deeks:





Amazing. Comes out 27th May 2011 which is actually quite soon so yay! Hands up if your excited?


4. Nicole Scherzinger has gone back to the studio.


Wait! Didn't you just release your debut album? Why are you going back in the studio to record new material when you have an album full of amazing song waiting to be released so I can dance to in the clubs? CLUB BANGER NATION? WET? SAY YES? KILLER LOVER? Anyone of those would do nicely while I'm out in Mushroom having a jug of Skittles with one straw! Just sayin'. If you haven't listened to her album yet, I highly recommend it! It's brilliant! 


And that's it for today! In a bit!

ITV announces new Britain's Got Talent Judges

There's been plenty of speculation over the fate of Britain's Got Talent after Simon Cowell announced he would not be part of the audition process and Piers Morgan stepped down as a judge altogether, as he took a job in America.

The X Factor - Celebrity Duets Confirmed for Final



The X Factor finalists have cofirmed who they are dueting with in the final over the weekend.

Matt Cardle will be singing with Rihanna.

Rebecca Ferguson will be singing with Christina Aguleria.

Cher Lloyd will be singing with will.i.am.

One Direction will be snging with Robbie Williams.

That's one hell of a lineup. I don't really get Matt and Rihanna being put together. Doesn't really work in my head. Rebecca and Chrtistina will be amazingly beautiful. I can just see it now. Cher and will.i.am was a given. Fianlly Robbie Williams seems an odd choice for One Direction too. They might as well just pick Liam, Harry and Zayn to sing with him and leave the other two at home.

This year's X Factor final will be bigger than ever. 2 2 hours shows will take place on Saturday and Sunday with several special performances including the winner's song. It was also confirmed today by Simon Cowell that each act has recored a different winner's single to suit them. Obviously. You have Cher Lloyd in the compeition. You can't have her singing some happy balland about the struggle she's been on. That's not what she's about!

The final airs at 7PM on Saturday and 7:30PM on Sunday.

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Nine: The Results

Time for the results

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Nine

Welcome to the Semi-Finals and what a snooze fest it was. 

American X Factor - Cheryl Cole Confirmed As A Judge?

Cheryl Cole has reportedly landed a £3 million 1 year contract to the American version of The X Factor!

The X Factor - One Direction offered record contract?

X Factor contestants, One Direction are said to be guaranteed a record deal wether they win the talent reality show or not. 

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Eight: The Results

So time for the results.

American X Factor - Teaser Trailer Released

Stay tuned for an announcement from Simon Cowell with all the deets on the US Version of the show.

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Seven: The Results

So it's time for the results show. Olly Murs gave a great performance of his new single and The X Factor finalists singing this years charity single was great too!

So in the bottom two thing was:

Cher Lloyd

Paije Richardson

Simon sent home Paije.
Cheryl sent home Paije.
Dannii sent home Cher.
Louis sent home Paije.

Yes, Paije has been booted out thank god! It's criminal that Wagner was not in the bottom two and got all excited about it. it was criminal that Cher was in the bottom two, but she played it smart and sang the song which she is most recognized for and the song in which I became a fan of her. 

But we have The Wanted, Justin Bieber AND Nicole Scherzinger next week so that will be exciting!

What did you think of tonight's result?

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Seven

It was Beatles week on The X Factor and yet again it was a boring show except the fight between Cheryl and Simon over "stair-gate" as Dermot O'Leary embarrassingly called it and Cheryl and Wagner over Wagner's comments about her being "just a lucky girl from a council estate". Draaamaaa!

Anyway let's have a deeks at the performances:

Best:

Matt Cardle. Every song he sings, he makes beautiful. I don't know how he does it. I want him to win. 

Hello Mary! It's been a while since you were here but your back! And you were brilliant. Keep it up!

Worst:

Oh my god. Get off you big creep. That is all I have to say on the matter.

So what did you think of The X Factor? I think were at the stage, who do you want win?

Make sure you watch the results show tonight and check back here for my thoughts afterwards! 

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Six: The Results

So it's time for the results! First of all. I have to say. Why do the finalists mine during their group performances? They look so stupid. Especially Paije.


Anyway, JLS sang good, and then Westlife sang crap and then Take That sang amazing!


Back to results. In the bottom two were:

Katie Waissel

Aiden Grimshaw

I'm totally shocked Aiden is in the bottom two! How did Paije and Wagner get through? Christ.


Simon sent home Aiden.
Cheryl sent home Aiden.
Dannii sent home Katie.
Louis sent home Katie.


DEADLOCK.

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. How could this have happened. Aiden has been eliminated over Katie? This is so wrong. 


What do you think about tonight's controversial elimination? (yet another one!)

The X Factor - A 5th Judge?

The producers of the show are reportedly planning on introducing a 5th judge.


Recently, Simon Cowell invited 20 fans of the show to a brian-storming session on how to improve the show. 


The idea to introduce a guest 5th judge during the live shows was received well. The idea is to make the vote more clear-cut in the wake of Treyc Cohen's controversial elimination from the show last weekend. 


If there's a 5th judge and one judge opts out of voting like Cheryl did at the weekend, then the vote would still go to Deadlock, but the problem is, if all the judges vote, it would never go to Deadlock, which is sometimes a better way of eliminating people from the competition. 


According to an insider, one idea is to have whoever is performing on the show, be a guest judge during the vote. 


It is unknown when the rumored change will come into affect. 


So, what do you think of this? Would a 5th judge be a good idea? 

The X Factor - Was It A Fix?

Nearly 15 million of us watched it and we all know what happened. Well, incase you don't, here's the crack-a-lack.

• Katie and Treyc were in the bottom two.
• Katie sang first, forgot her words, generally did bad and ended up saying "sod it" and sat on the floor until the music ended.
• Treyc sang and was alright. 
• Simon voted to save Katie.
• Cheryl refused to vote since they were both her acts.
• Dannii voted to save Treyc.
• Louis voted to save Katie.
• Treyc was voted out of the competition. 

Obviously there's been plenty of backlash and controversy. What is The X Factor without it right?

So I have a few questions!

• Why did Simon vote for Katie? She clearly messed up the song and the judges are supposed to vote on that performance they've just seen, not anything else.
• Why did Dermot O'Leary go to Cheryl straight after Simon? Whenever this has happened in the past and it has happened, they always went to the judge who has both acts in the bottom last! So why did they go to Cheryl straight after Simon? Why change the rules?
• Cheryl refused to vote. Fair enough. I don't think I could do it either! BUT She did say leave me to the end and I'll take it to deadlock, which means it reverts back to public vote. Why didn't they do that? Why didn't they go back to Cheryl and take it deadlock, which she said she would?
• Why did Louis vote for Katie? Same as Simon, she clearly messed up. Treyc sang better than her, surely he should have saved her? 

I didn't like Treyc. I don't think many people did because she never connected with the audience. She's one of those acts when she's there but you don't remember her. Even when she was on stage, I asked "Who's that?" I feel it was unfair she was voted out under such bad circumstances but to be honest, I would rather have seen her go, over Katie. Katie has personality! She gives good performances too (sometimes) and she's memorable!

I want to know what you think about all this? Was it a fix to keep Katie in who gets more headlines than an other contestant? Or was it innocent? Should Cheryl have voted? Should they have gone to deadlock? Should Simon and Louis have voted for Katie?

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Five: The Results

Time for the results! After a decent performance from previous X Factor Shayne Ward and an amazing performance from legend, Kylie Minogue in the bottom two were:

Treyc Cohen

Katie Waisel

Bad times for Cheryl Cole.


So after Katie breaks down during her performance and "sods it" and Treyc drones on here's how the vote went:


Simon sent home Treyc.
Cheryl obviously refused to vote.
Dannii sent home Katie.
Louis sent home Treyc.


And with that Treyc was eliminated. 

My predictions keep coming true. Now I only have 2 acts left that need to go, then it gets tough. 


What did you think of tonight's dramatic results show? Controversy is brewing.

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Five

Was it me, or was this episode a lackluster? The majority of the contestants weren't great. Good but not great. Another thing, the themes. How awful are they this series. For one they are very broad and and even with that the judges do not stick to them and find silly ways of making them okay. Total Eclipse of the Heart is a halloween song because it was the word Eclipse in it? Yeah, okay Simon Cowell. 

Okay so moving on tonight's performances. There was only 2 fantastic performances. The rest were either alright or rubbish. Let's have a look shall we?

Best:

There are no words to describe this other than beautiful. He has a very big chance of winning this and he could do it too. 






She's stunning. I wasn't keen at the start of the competition but she's such a star and sings every song perfectly and beautifully. Another big contender to win this. 


Worst:




It wasn't bad, I just don't really like her. And I'm pretty sure plenty of other people don't either. She's like John Adeleye. She's there but nobody remembers he is. I hope she leaves soon.




Great song, great staging, but unfortunately Paije is singing it and I don't like him. He's like John too. Do you remember him? Do you talk about him with your friends? No is your answer, so he should leave too. And with the rumors of a double elimination this weekend, these two should go! Along with...




... this! Ohmydays. He's like a scary perv. I couldn't even watch this. That poor girl must be traumatized and need therapy after this, or just a very long shower. Get him out! And Louis Walsh, please call him by is name. It's very rude. 


And the rest were alright, but not great. 


What did you think?


Make sure you watch the results show tonight where Kylie Minouge is performing!!

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Four: The Results

So it's time for the results and after a good performance from Bon Jovi and the contestants, a frosty performance from Jamiroquai because of his comments about Cheryl and Dannii and a great performance from Rihanna, in the sing off were:

Belle Amie

Katie Waisell

After both acts sang for their survival,

Simon sent home Katie.

Cheryl sent home Belle Amie.

Dannii sent home Bell Amie.

Louis sent home Katie.

Which brought us to our first deadlock of the series and they revert back to the public vote and the act with the lowest votes were:

Yes, Belle Amie were voted out of the competition in their 2nd time in the bottom 2. It was going to happen sooner or later. The sad thing is, they gave a great Judges House performance and then the live shows were just lackluster. Also the fact, girl-bands just don't do well on this show. Bye girls.

What did you think tonight's performances and results?

The X Factor - Glee cast to perform?

How amazing would this be? 


Apparently, Simon Cowell has negotiated a deal for the Glee Cast to perform a medley of their songs during one of the results show. Although it's been said there are a few teething problems. Both production team's want to be in charge and it could cause arguments. 


Sort it out guys. Imagine how amazing this would be? The X Factor is where the world's biggest stars come to perform and Glee are one of the biggest and most popular right now so this is ideal. Especially with the second season coming to our screens in January on E4. 


It's also rumored that Kylie Minogue will be preform on the 7th November show. Kylie has previously sang with eventual 2007 winner Leon Jackson on the show and appeared as sister and judge Dannii Minogue's help during Judges Houses in 2009. 


Confirmed to perform on the show this week are Bon Jovi, Jamiroquai and Rihanna!

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Three: The Results

 

Time for the results show and only one act will be leaving this week.

After amazing performances from Michael Buble and Wor Cheryl Cole, in the bottom two were:

John Adeleye

Treyc Cohen

Louis sent home Treyc.

Dannii sent home John.

Cheryl sent home John.

Simon sent home John.

The right person has left. John was boring and didn't stand out at all. I feel like Wagner should go next. As much as I love his performances, Louis has turned him into a joke on purpose, like he did with Jedward last year. It's not fair to them.

Are you happy with who left and who do you want to leave next week?
