20.04 The judges are out and seated and joining them X Factor crew again for one night, Olly Murs.
We're no the only ones that are excited...
Is your heart skip-skip-skipping a beat? @OllyOfficial is the hardest working man in showbiz, folks… #XFactor — The X Factor (@TheXFactor) November 23, 201320.02 And we're live... 19.55 So there we have it, no Shayne Ward, Matt Cardle or Leon Jackson... Remember this guy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOGaX2W9lJk 19.50 - Hello again folks, fancy meeting you here! Just minutes until the X Factor ladies and gents take to the stage, and we’ve got some news for you. Tonight the seventh live show plans to celebrate all things X Factor. Yes, to mark their tenth birthday tonight the six remaining contestants will sing some of the biggest hits from previous X Factor winners. With only six acts remaining a few winners have been snubbed, and of course we all can guess who will be taking on Leona Lewis' famous winning hit. Here is what you can expect from tonight’s singers. The Scherzy Girls Hannah will be praying for survival with Hallelujah, covered by Alexandra Burke back in FIVE YEARS AGO. Tamera Foster will take on James Arthur's single Impossible, which is the highest selling X Factor single to date. Gazza and his one remaining Band Rough Copy will sing En Vogue's Don't Let Go, performed in the live shows two years ago by Little Mix. The FABULOUS Mrs O. and the Overs Sam Bailey will take on (and win) Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love - we predict this to be the highlight of the series. Lou Lou and the Boys Mini Buble, Nicholas McDonald will sing Joe McElderry's winning hit The Climb, which was first made famous by Hannah Montana... She was such a lovely girl. Luke Friend will be take on that little known band, One Direction's hit song, What Makes You Beautiful. Want to win a €100 to spend with Littlewoods Ireland? Tell us who you think is going to be eliminated from the X Factor this weekend in the Littlewoods Ireland X Factor Xpert competition, and be in with the chance to win!
