Don't really care about John Legend much (can't ever really be forgiven for All of Me) but I think Shawn Mendes will be quite a good performer, hopefully he'll perform Mercy which is the sort of track I can see getting quite a big boost from the X Factor. I'm not sure it would be able to reach the top 10 but I'd love to see him get another official top 40/20 hit at least, it's too good to completely miss out like I Know What You Did Last Summer :(

Two great acts this week even though i dont really like the new One Republic single.

 

Next week is nothing to get excited about.

John Legend is snooze, but I am happy with Shawn Mendes if he is performing Mercy.

Same.

Has Shawn dropped out? Busted are now confirmed :o along with the previously-announced John Legend!

Shawn hasn't dropped out as far as anyone knows, I feel like Busted are probably doing the group performance with the finalists or something?

Busted! :o

Omg they better perform On What You're On. Such a tune

Shawn's team just posted about his X Factor performance on his Facebook page so he definitely hasn't dropped out! :D

Depends. If they're performing with the finalists, it'll be something like 'Year 3000', but if it's a proper guest slot (fingers crossed) then 'On What You're On' would be the most likely option :D

Could Busted be performing on The Xtra Factor?

hope Shawn Medes performs the new single Mercy

but judging from recent years, It wouldn't surprise me if he performed Treat You Better :/

Busted must be on the Xtra Factor, there's zero chance they would get a main show slot unless their label are throwing cash at Syco surely?

I'm surprised by Busted, that's an interesting one.

I think Busted are on Xtra Factor. They had Kaiser Chiefs on last week. I don't really think they'll have them on the main show, even as part of the group performance.

I'd be baffled if Shawn performed anything other than Mercy really, would be a stupid decision when it's the current single and is 59p. Thankfully I fully expect he will sing Mercy.

Kaiser Chiefs were week 1! The Vamps were last week ^_^ but yeah I expect Busted will be on Xtra, although I can definitely imagine a group performance of Year 3000 or one of their big hits, followed by an Xtra performance of the new single.

Busted are on the Xtra Factor, there is always a obscured 3rd performance pencilled in...

And they sang "Year 3000". Couldn't they sing something from their upcoming album?

Did dermot say they would be back on in a few weeks?

I'm pretty sure they didn't have a choice in the matter.
