X FACTOR finalist Stacey Solomon threw rehearsals into chaos yesterday when she suffered a bad fall during a dance routine.

The Essex hopeful, 20, was trying out tricky moves on top of chairs when she missed her footing and crashed to the stage.

 

She screamed in pain as production staff rushed to her aid - but luckily suffered only bruises.

 

When she bravely tried the complicated routine once more, she AGAIN fell down. Last night show chiefs were debating whether to scrap the dance number on safety grounds.

 

It requires Stacey to walk across the stage on chairs which are whipped into place at the last moment by backing dancers.

 

The elaborate number was due to be a highlight of tonight's semi-final show, which will be a tribute to the late Michael Jackson.

 

A source at the ITV hit said choreographer Brian Friedman came up with the "crazy routine" for Stacey.

 

The insider added: "Not being a natural mover, she has struggled with it.

 

"She came crashing down on stage twice in rehearsals - and she's not been helped by having to do it in killer high heels."

 

LEONA Lewis is being lined up to perform during the X Factor final next weekend. Bosses hope the 24-year-old singer - who won the series in 2006 - could even duet with one of the finalists.

I personally wouldn't want another performance here, considering she only performed 4 weeks ago and it would seem slightly desperate to help the album.

The rumours suggest it could be a performance of I See You.

 

Personally see no problem with Leona coming back. Westlife performed twice during S3.

 

 

Ohhh I hope so.

I see You and then a performance with Joe or something would be epic!!!!

The rumours suggest it could be a performance of I See You.

Well in that case I wouldn't mind one after all. :P

I'd love to see her back. :) If she duets with someone, I hope it's Joe.

She deserves to come back twice, it's the show that made her, and admittedly the album needs help :( If she's performing 'I See You', then I guess the album won't get much help LOL. :(

 

But haven't the guests been confirmed for the final? Or do you think they'll do the final three with duets on the Sat, and then the final two have another duet on the Sun show? :unsure:

Ooh yes, I'd love to see her back and the duet will be good :D

considering both shows are 2 hours long next week there could be loads of guest performers.

Leona is singing stop crying your heart out so expect it to make its forst top 40 apperance next week.

 

Beautiful performance :wub:

#23 on iTunes!

Stunning performance! :)

She performed well and to be honest i prefer this to happy, happy just didnt click with me, stop crying your heart out could really give the album a great sales push, the album has done well dont get me wrong but i thought it would have sold higher to be honest, i think this performance was exactly what was needed to remind people just how good leona can be.

I was SOOO happy whenever she came on during the x factor final....i had JUST joked to my brother after Alexandra/JLS were on that Leona should come out and perform too....and then she did :yahoo: :yahoo: was so funny haha!!!!

 

What an amazing performance though.....she certainly showed them all how its done :)

#16 on iTunes. :)

#16 on iTunes. :)

 

:o Bloody hell! :cheer:

Beautiful performance! :D Great to see it so high on iTunes, it would be great if it would reach top 10.

I was really bored at the start but boy did she pull it out of the bag in the end!!

Can't believe this didn't reach the top 10 on iTunes. Considering the audience she performed in front of, it's pretty wild that it didn't. I hope she's not becoming irrelevant...

Anyway, I hate the choice of song, but the crescendo was performed beautifully. And DAMN, the girl gets hotter by the month.

I though stop crying your heary put was performed excellantly and was sure it would be top 10 this week, in ireland this week it made a new peak of number 31 this week.
