October 27, 20159 yr Author Ben will be performing this on the XF on Saturday! Has there ever been a "guest" performance on a Saturday show before? Barring the final of course. I must admit when I saw Fleur's tweet about performing on the 8th I thought Ben was being shafted. Relieved that he is performing first as it should be really.

October 27, 20159 yr Author 1D have performed on a Saturday I am sure Thanks :) I was a bit surprised but glad.
October 27, 20159 yr Hopefully the performance will be really good, I assume he's going to sing Kelly's part too? Should boost sales well and get airplay to start kicking up a notch. Really hoping Heart will get on board and maybe Capital too (Capital FM Nottinghamshire has been playing it which is a good sign).

That's good to know, he's been played on Heart but not sure its on the Playlist officially. I'm guessing Ben will be doing an acoustic version on Saturday. Its a bummer Kelly can't sing with him but hopefully it will be good anyway :)
October 27, 20159 yr this deserves far better than a #21 peak, this is a really good first proper single by him and contrary to some I actually think on paper him and Kelly's vocals shouldn't go but actually do, they work together nicely imo :wub: Edited October 27, 20159 yr by Robbie Darko

Yeah - Olly did 'Hand on Heart' on the Saturday live show a few years back :)
October 27, 20159 yr Author Yeah - Olly did 'Hand on Heart' on the Saturday live show a few years back :) Obviously not as rare as I thought :) Even so I guess the viewing figures will be better than Sunday. All good.
October 27, 20159 yr Actually now I remember One Direction did 'Little Things' on the Saturday live show in 2012 (although that was pre-recorded if I remember so it doesn't technically count)...
October 28, 20159 yr Are the Saturday performances usually aired at the beginning of the programme, before the contestants? Also live results tend to have more viewers than the Saturday live show, Torresgirl.

I guess more people are in Sunday than Saturday.
October 31, 20159 yr Great performance from Ben tonight...already shooting back up the top 20 on iTunes as well :)

October 31, 20159 yr To be fair I don't think it helped that his microphone wasn't switched up enough volume wise. It wasn't exactly his fault the set up was terrible. I think he knew it as well hence why he missed a word or two out in the chorus towards the end. Anyway pleased it's going to be top 10 on iTunes in a few minutes. If only his streaming wasn't shit.

Yes I noticed that. He looked a bit nervous anyway but that didn't help!. I read so many positives comments though, I think people just like him so they are quite forgiving. Well most people :) I liked the light show etc
November 1, 20159 yr Disappointing performance from Ben tonight! Don't think it's going to impact iTunes like we were hoping. I don't even think this song is going to reach the top 5. Going to be interesting to see how Fleur does.
November 1, 20159 yr The song barely seems to be getting any airplay anywhere, yet it sounds tailor made for radio and he's coming off the back of a huge, very well played, smash. Makes no sense...
November 1, 20159 yr Author Disappointing performance from Ben tonight! Don't think it's going to impact iTunes like we were hoping. I don't even think this song is going to reach the top 5. Going to be interesting to see how Fleur does. Fleur may peak higher in her first week as she has an X factor performance on week of release to boost her. Long term who knows. I'm also reading that Sax will be on the Asda Christmas advert. Seems they are looking after her better to me. I agree with Gooddelta also. its a great song for radio and should be getting much more airplay. The Olly Murs song for example is getting loads of airplay as usual and Ben has kept up with it pretty much on itunes with barely any. Airplay is all important.
