Esmerelda

So excited for her epic comeback! Hoping for a performance at the X Factor final. Should help propel it to Christmas No 1. Simon owes her for helping to kill of Pop Idol.

Fodder on after the break.

Mary-Su on first? Surely not!

Poor Simon. Grace thrown under the bus with early slot, poor song choice and dressed as a Sesame Street character and his beloved Rak Su still didn't win that special prize.

My God, I'm so excited about which contestant will win a chance to go and see Pink- don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight with the excitement of it all! Does Grace have what it takes or will some other act steal her prize at the last moment????!!?

I'm surprised they put Matt through- do they really want another Ben Haenow/Matt Cardle effortless win?

Loved Chapter 1, but where is Chapter 2? Is it being written by George RR Martin?

I can't see the free app voters going for Grace (or any of the girls for that matter)

The BBC is the world's oldest national broadcasting organisation and the largest broadcaster in the world by number of employees

Can't see the streaming crowd getting behind a female pop act in big enough numbers.

Great to have them back. Their previous 2 albums were flawless.

Apparently she wrote "Gravity" by Hooverphonic.

Rumoured to be this person:

I thought Nadine Coyle had been confirmed for Belgium for a moment there. :kink: Belgium have been brilliant the last 3 years- my expectations are high!

It's great to see an independent artist charting on raw talent and internet buzz alone. Ridiculous that radio continue to shun her.

Hoping the Kamaliya Greatest Hits Compilation will be available in time for Christmas.

Would be happy with either. A female singer cracking the top 5 is incredible nowadays so an all female top 2 would be a shocker.

Adele cancels final 2 tour dates due to damaged vocal chords. Gutted :(

Will probably be Saara's flop Eurovision entry, No Fear.

I love the Darth Vader/Jabba the Hut version of Imperija :lol:

WTF is "Lady Gaga"? Another X Factor reject?

According to some Mirror Journalist on Twitter, it's Blue. Ugh....

Can we have a campaign to get Michelle McManus back to the top where she belongs?
