Could this be the first year that an X-Factor winner will not be performing on the live shows? I doubt Sam Bailey will perform.

Maybe they'll get her on to perform so they can promote her tour?

I still think she might have a Christmas re-release maybe, depends if she's been recording as she's still pregnant (though must be due round about now?).

I hope Demi gets a slot with Really Don't Care <3 Madonna (if she releases this year) and Adele would be fab too, I can see them being plausible as Simon will want this new series to be huge given the fact that him and Cheryl have both returned.

I'm intrigued to see whether or not Adele will perform.

 

I think it'll be entirely up to her as her label seems to trust her instincts and allows her to veto a lot of promotional opportunities. I know she is a fan of the show, which might make a difference, but from what she's said in the past, the overexposure of her music concerns her and she likes to lay low while her singles are being hammered on radio (rather than take the Emeli approach). This is all assuming radio/the media will be fully on board with the lead single, of course, which I think is a fair enough assumption! I'd say overall, she's likely to do it as it'll coincide with the album's launch and she's been away for so long.

I can see OneRepublic performing too. Cowell's a huge fan of Ryan Tedder as a songwriter and they have had a huge resurgence in the UK the past year and a bit so I would say they'd be a good shout & Maroon 5 possibly too.

Take That have already been confirmed to be performing the last week of November and have been booked for the final

Ffs.

 

I think Sam Bailey will definitely perform at some point. They wouldn't just ignore their reigning champion. She may not release another single/album but she might record a Christmas EP or something. Similar to how Leona stuck out an EP in 2011 just for the lolz (and she performed 'Hurt' to promote it).

If they have a single to promote, I'd say it was a definite. Is there anything on the release schedule?

Would love Sam Smith to perform Nirvana as I think the album will be rerelease with it!

Cheryl Cole will obviously perform on the day that her next single gets released, the new song (whatever it is) will already be #1 on iTunes before she performs then the lead will get bigger after the performance. Yawn :zzz:

 

 

Other possibilities

Nicki Minaj

Sheikh Abdul would love to see Nicki Minaj perform Annaconda for obvious reasons :P

Rumour has it (haha hehe haha ho) that the next single is going to be 'I Lived' (not sure how true it is as I found it on wikipedia, which sourced it from this: http://playiga.com/track/onerepublic-i-lived-2/ ). It was going to be the next single, after 'Counting Stars', but they dropped it in favour of 'Love Runs Out'.

 

IF it is indeed 'I Lived' then I'm slightly disappointed. As much as I do like 'I Lived', I wanted 'Life In Color' as it is probably the biggest smash left on the album, imo. Ridiculously anthemic!

Sam stated in an interview that they wouldn't be re-releasing the album, as he believes the next material released should be for an entirely new album. "Nirvanna" too is out of the question as it doesn't feature on the album that the label would be wanting to push, sadly.

 

I think Sam will definitely have a slot on the show though, Simon would be a fool not to let him.

 

It will be interesting to see if OneRepublic, The Script and/or Maroon 5 perform on the show, I think all three should really. Maroon 5's next single is "Animals" supposedly though, which is great but is all about hunting down a woman, ha.

Wasn't "Something I Need" supposed to be the follow-up to "Counting Stars" ? .. or rather, to the re-release of "If I Lose Myself"

Something I Need should have been, by far the best song on Native.

Why would Nirvana not fit - I just have my Nirvana glasses on now because it's by far his best song IMO!

 

At any rate he needs new artists on each yr or it becomes a borefest of Take That, Michael Buble & Rihanan each series!

First post updated. I imagine some of the artists I've listed for week one will in fact appear later in the series.

I think it's pretty certain that Little Mix will be performing at some stage.

Could this be the first year that an X-Factor winner will not be performing on the live shows? I doubt Sam Bailey will perform.

 

She is confirmed to appear on the semi-final

Has she even got her £1 million prize yet? they showed her house on Through The Keyhole and it looked like a house that someone from a normal background would be living in.

Ed Sheeran will obviously perform 'Thinking Out Loud' and it will go onto sell bucket loads :(
