A stuffed giraffe would be a better host, much as I like Olly.

Kiss Me is amazing, hope it gets a big boost this week as it is one of my favourite Olly songs already :heart:

 

I doubt it, but I really hope somehow Adele is the other guest this week because of the album release :wub:

Guest 2 should be Take That to promote the re-release of "III" by performing "Hey Boy"

if they were able to book Adele I'd imagine they'd save her for the finale for maximum rating potential

They will be on Stricly.

Hmm, I'm not convinced it'll be Adele either. When/if she's performing, they'll announce it in the show (like they used to do) to start building up the promotion of it.

 

Will Rita Ora get a performance slot at all, I wonder though.

 

Rihanna with an OA/OS release at some point before (or on) the final too potentially?

If the rumours of Rihanna releasing her album on Tidal soon are to be believed (released the week after (4/12)), then I'd expect her in the next couple of weeks.

 

But I wish they'd hurry up and get Ariana! :(

 

 

I pray Leona gets a slot, maybe this week, but I think its unlikely.

This weekend's performances confirmed as Olly Murs, Rudimental & Ed Sheeran aaaaand... Nathan Sykes :o

Not that surprised at Nathan Sykes as he's a Global act & have a great relationship with X Factor, so thats how he managed to get a slot. Could be a good moment for him, even though not a fan of him or the song to be honest.

 

If Louisa makes the final we'll see Leona perform with her, i'm sure that would be the case. Louisa loves her.

Maybe they'll finally go top 10 as people will also be cherry-picking the song from NOW 92

Doesn't Capital have some sort of deal to play Nathan Sykes, could that be the same with X Factor? :lol: Tbh this is the best thing that could happen for him - his new single is like 'All of Me Part 2' (still decent though) so it will just explode onto the charts after a performance on X Factor. Glad Olly and Rudi/Ed are on too, both their tracks have performed well so far under On Air/On Sale so this should give both a nice boost.

Global own Capital, Capital Xtra, Heart, LBC, Smooth, Radio X, Gold & Classic FM. Nathan Sykes is signed to Global talent, so the Global/X Factor relationship probably secured him that slot.

Ooh! I love the idea of that Louisa/Leona duet in the final! And I think it's the most likely to happen. Leona's career has only dived because nobody is aware she has new music out. There doesn't seem to be any ill will against her at all, so this "moment" could help her just as much as it'd be designed to help Louisa.

I'd love for Rudimental/Ed to finally make the top 10 due to this after annoyingly hanging outside for ages. Pleased about this!

 

Nathan Sykes already looking to do pretty well based on pre-orders, looks like a certain top 10. :o I like that song a lot to be fair.

Rita Ora just confirmed on Xtra Factor that she's performing Coming Home on the main show next week (week 5)

Yay, loving coming home so much at the moment :heart:

Excellent! That song MUST be a hit :dance:

X Factor just posted this:
