Posted November 1, 201014 yr Take That, Westlife, JLS for 'X Factor' Monday, November 1 2010, 13:13 GMT By Alex Fletcher, Reality TV EditorTweet this Digg this Send to friend More options Take ThatWestlifeJLSTVX FactorTake That, Westlife and JLS will all perform on the same X Factor live show later this month. The trio of boybands will be special guests on the Sunday, November 14 show, Simon Cowell revealed on last night's Xtra Factor. Speaking to Konnie Huq during the judges Q&A session, Cowell let slip that all three acts would be on the same programme. A fully-reunited Take That will be performing their comeback single with Robbie Williams, 'The Flood', Louis Walsh's Westlife will return once again to the show to sing their latest single 'Safe', while 2008 runners-up JLS are promoting their new track 'Love You More'. All three boybands will be competing over the next month for the number one spot, so their performances on the show will be seen as crucial in indicating how they might fare in a chart battle. Next Sunday's results show will feature appearances from Kylie Minogue and series two X Factor winner Shayne Ward.
November 2, 201014 yr Author I would have thought a line up like this would be used for the finals like before, i wonder who will perform first?
November 7, 201014 yr Author It was shown on x factor tonight that westlifeat will be on the show next week but the emphasis was really on take that.
November 8, 201014 yr It was shown on x factor tonight that westlifeat will be on the show next week but the emphasis was really on take that. As it should be. Kath
November 8, 201014 yr Author Very true, take that are in a league of their own especially when compared to westlife and Jls.
November 14, 201014 yr Author Really looking forward to the performance which is now only about 3 minutes away.
November 14, 201014 yr Author that was a bloody fantastic performance and the energy it gave off was absolutly fantatsic, the crowdin audience were on their feet for them. The flood really came alive in that live performance, talk about showing westlife and jsl how its done. Well done lads i look forward to alot more of this.
November 14, 201014 yr I thought Robbie was great. Seriously ... he may as well have been singing that all himself. Yes the backing vocals were good but you may as well have had session singers. You can tell Rob is just dying to break free from the restraints of being in a group. The song sounded better live than the record. Kath
November 14, 201014 yr Author I was just waiting for a good ole negative to come, honestly how can you say that was like a robbie solo after some of the fantastic notes gary did. Honest to god just because gary got involved in politics that you dont agree with it has completly clouded your judgement norma. If that performance came pre all the politics stuff you would have deliivered a completly different post and i feel im 100% correct when i say that.
November 14, 201014 yr For me that was the most exciting X Factor performance ever, loved it. The ending was really sweet when they put their arms round each other too.

I thought that was a really great performance. It had me gripped - think I held my breath for the whole thing :heart: . There is no way that Robbie + "session singers" would have had the same effect!!! I thought that Robbie was a little shakey to start with and was obviously nervous but as a whole I really enjoyed it and I agree that Gary sounded great.

I think that was an electrifying performance and there's no way that Robbie and session singers could have produced that. Robbie started off shakily but other than that I can't find a fault with it. I know that it's your opinion and you are completely entitled to it but I think that no matter what TT produce now or what performance they pull off you will have a problem with it.

How DARE you say I said that based on Gary Barlow's politics. The song is bland and the performance by Robbie was very good. They DO NOT gel as a band though. I've long discounted Barlow's political stance from the Take That equation ... I actually still do like Take That when they're doing good music. Besides ... I'd gone off Barlow long before the election last year ... I think I first started to go off him was when he insisted on being credited as 'Lead Songwriter' on the disaster that was Britannia High. How arrogant! Kath Edited November 14, 201014 yr by Kathyp
November 14, 201014 yr Juat watched it again. I can't understand why you think that Robbie was the only good thing about the performance Kath? Gary gave a really good performance and I think that the backing vocals were spot on. Obviously as Robbie is lead on the song he will stand out (also he was very very emotional) but it would be nothing without the others.
November 14, 201014 yr I think The Flood is very hard to sing live, i thought that from the beginning. So, they were all out of tune, but ggod that they sung live not like Cheryl :lol: And i didn't get the feeling is Robbie with backing singers, as normally you cannot tell who is the backing singer. Here, you have heard clear Gary and Howard and Mark. Robbie had the lead for the single, but there were the other involved too. Not my fav song of TT, not my style, really, but better than Greatest Day by miles. I bet some heads will roll at Polydor for bringing the song forwards or not having some real Promo last week.
November 14, 201014 yr amazing performance! lets hope that the x factor viewers help get the flood to number 1, CIN and a replay of look back dont stare will hopefully help build up the sales

I just thought Rob's vocal was very powerful and didn't need much help from anyone else I suppose. I couldn't tell if the others were out of tune or not - although Howards harmonies were coming through. Gary's solo bits were pleasant enough and audible ... but his voice wasn't as powerful as Rob's on this occasion. I could NOT hear Mark when he and Rob were supposed to be singing together. And I truly couldn't hear Jason at all. Kath Anyway ... I'm not going to comment on 'The Flood' anymore as I don't particularly like the song. I think my comments on future singles from the album will be more positive as they all seem better than the lead song.
November 14, 201014 yr Author I didnt hear jason on the single but all the other voices were clearly heard by me. I think it was probably the most intense take that performance from take that but as much as it was intense it was electicfying and i would say it would have a graet night to have been in the x factor audience.
