Posted October 8, 200717 yr Singing legend Michael Jackson is to star on The X Factor, we can reveal. He has agreed to be a mentor for the show broadcast on December 1. It is a huge coup both for the talent search show and ITV. Celine Dion, Rihanna, Kylie, Shayne Ward, Leona Lewis, Westlife and Mariah Carey have also agreed to appear. They will spend several days with the finalists - helping them prepare their songs and fine-tune their voices. They will also perform one of their own songs. Judges Louis Walsh, Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue and Sharon Osbourne have all done their bit to persuade stars to appear. Dannii has got big sister Kylie to be on the final show. The live programmes kick off on October 20 with Leona Lewis. The source said: "There has been some top-level negotiating here. Everyone is absolutely delighted. "The contestants are better, the judging panel is bigger and better, so the celebrity guests had to be. This is going to be the best show on TV." http://www.mariahdaily.com/news.shtml What do we think of this then? I know she's been rumoured before and it never materialised. I'm happy about it if it's true though, of course. She was a great mentor on Fame Academy.
October 8, 200717 yr Author i am psyched for all of them bar Westlife :puke2: Well I can only see Westlife being the only non ex-X Factor contestants to appear from that list unfortunatley. Leona and Shayne will probably pop up and possibly Kylie would. The others I'd say aren't gonna appear, hope I'm wrong though.
October 8, 200717 yr It would be great to see Mariah over here. Excellent way of promoting on television considering that there are hardly many opportunities here since the end of Top Of The Pops and that reality tv seems to be a power currently in the music industry. I remember Westlife performed with Delta Goodrem last series on that program. I watched it on Youtube (for Delta I hasten to add).
October 19, 200717 yr Author X-Factor judge Louis Walsh was interviewed on Radio 2 last week, and mentioned Mariah as one of the legendary artists set to perform on the UK Talent show. Other performers are Leona Lewis, Shayne Ward, Celine Dion, and Jennifer Lopez.
October 19, 200717 yr I would hardly classify Leona Lewis and Shayne Ward as legendary though. :arrr: Haven't been around long enough to earn legendary success. Doubts about J-Lo's inclusion in the list as well.
