I imagine guest performers for 13th November will be Emeli Sandé and Olly Murs

Zayn?

 

I don't think he has anything to release, and I'm not 100% about his relationship with Syco/ Simon these days.

Yeah I wasn't too sure about their relationship, but I'm sure Zayn won't turn his name up at the chance of getting a chart boost. :lol:

They'll try & make sure Louisa has a solo track out soon once Tears leaves the top 40 I reckon.

Thought she'd have an album ready by now, no?

 

Little Mix's new single is out on the 21st or 14th I think.

As in brand new from a new album?!

It seems that way, yes.

I think Louisa has had an album recorded for a while now! I guess that they're just trying to figure out what to do with her

Really hope OneRepublic get a slot on the first live show. It probably won't help Kids much but it could help a lot with the albums first week sales

Probably just Olly. Simon won't want to help her chances of him beating Olly to #1 in the album chart. He did the same thing last year with One Direction/Justin Bieber

He put Ellie Goulding and Little Mix up on the same weekend though, and they were direct competition. I can't see him not inviting Sande up.

Definite

Fifth Harmony

James Arthur

Little Mix

Louisa Johnson

Nicole Scherzinger (she's said she'll be performing so that's one slot confirmed)

Olly Murs

 

Likely

Cheryl (if she releases)

Emeli Sandé

Fleur East (if she releases)

Harry Styles (if he releases)

Liam Payne (if he releases)

Michael Bublé

Nathan Sykes (his album release is November......it would be incredibly ambitious if he didn't have an X Factor performance with that)

Niall Horan (if he releases)

Robbie Williams

 

Possibly

Ariana Grande

Bruno Mars

Calum Scott (he was discovered on BGT, it depends what his relationship with Simon is nowadays and whether he has a follow-up)

Craig David

DNCE

Drake (feel like they may try and poach him for the final?)

Ellie Goulding

Justin Bieber

Lady Gaga

Rihanna (they love her and she's performed many times before)

Shawn Mendes

Sia

The Vamps (they've performed on BGT before so it's not totally out of the question)

The Weeknd

Zara Larsson

 

Xtra Factor?

Anne-Marie

Dua Lipa

 

No chance so don't get your hopes up

Mollie King

 

As well as one or two obligatory "WTF?" performers - is Cee-Lo Green releasing anything new this year? :lol:

Probably just Olly. Simon won't want to help her chances of him beating Olly to #1 in the album chart. He did the same thing last year with One Direction/Justin Bieber

But surely Sandé will draw in more viewers! He will have her booked for sure.

Sting has an album out Nov 11th, wonder if they will try to get him as a guest mentor like they did with Lionel Richie

Even though it's probably unlikely, they could get Bastille in one week as they usually have a couple of bands on. Maroon 5 & One Republic in 2014 I recall on the same weekend.

What about Aston Merrygold? Outside chance?

He's already had an Xtra Factor performance so probably not!

 

Xtra performances we've had so far, for reference:

 

M.O - Who Do You Think Of?

Aston Merrygold - I Ain't Missing You

Jonas Blue feat. JP Cooper - Perfect Strangers

Dappy - Kiss

Probably just Olly. Simon won't want to help her chances of him beating Olly to #1 in the album chart. He did the same thing last year with One Direction/Justin Bieber

Even if he has Olly and not Emeli, she'll still deny him a #1 album

I presume Louisa Johnson, Fleur East and Ella Henderson will all launch their new singles with an X Factor performance on the same weekend as they have all been teasing new singles and albums and I think they need a launch performance to guarantee success with OA/OS.

 

Little Mix will be on as well of course, but they probably won't need a performance straight away as they have the fanbase to go straight to top 5 and probably #1 on iTunes unlike the other 3.

Oh yes, I forgot Ella! She's guaranteed a slot if she's releasing this year too I expect.

Rebecca Ferguson....hope so as she is about the best past competitor there is!

I think this list is pretty likely:

 

Emeli Sande (Hurts)

Little Mix (Shout Out To My Ex)

Fifth Harmony (That's My Girl)

James Arthur (Say You Won't Let Go)

Louisa Johnson (TBA but surely releasing)

Lady Gaga (Perfect Illusion or hopefully a superior second single)

Michael Buble (Nobody But Me)

Robbie Williams (Heavy Entertainment Show)

Olly Murs (TBA second single)

Zara Larsson (Ain't My Fault)

Ellie Goulding (Still Falling For You)

Nicole Scherzinger (TBA - already confirmed herself she is performing)

Bruno Mars (TBA - single dropping in next few weeks)

 

Feel like they will try and get The Weeknd (Starboy), Ariana Grande (Side To Side), Sia (The Greatest) and Rihanna (Love On The Brain) too, so hopefully they manage it.
