I'm currently looking for some new writers in order to expand the blog given that I can't post the amount of things I'd like to. So if you are interested in writing about anything related to music (news, TV shows, album reviews, introducing artists) just drop me an email to musicisthedoor@gmail.com and we can discuss some of your ideas.

X Factor UK 2014: Top 3 Perform: The Final

Photobucket

The last of Cheryl's girls, Lauren Platt left the competition last week in a tense sing-off with Andrea Faustini leaving us with three acts in the grand final, Fleur East and Ben Haenow for the Overs and Andrea for the Boys. Mel B is apparently ill so has been (oddly) replaced with former judge Tulisa but Simon, Louis and Cheryl are here. By the end of the weekend, Sam Bailey will have a successor.

X Factor UK 2014: Top 4 Perform: The Semi Final

Photobucket
Would you believe we're nearly there? It's the ninth live show and there are just four acts remaining. Only one more act is going to miss out on the final next week. Tonight they'll all be singing Christmas songs (why could they not have saved that for the final?) and a song to get them to the final? Who will miss out, Cheryl's girl Lauren, Mel's boy Andrea or one of Simon's overs, Ben and Fleur?

X Factor UK 2014: Top 5 Perform: Jukebox Week

Photobucket
Last week saw the final double elimination of the series as Only The Young and Stevi Ritchie said goodbye. With just two weeks until the final, it's jukebox week where the acts are singing one song as chosen by the public and one song as chosen by a celebrity special guest. So who will be singing their swan song tonight?

X Factor UK 2014: Top 7 Perform: Whitney Houston vs Elton John

Photobucket

Last week saw big band bring down Jay James, to the shock of about five people after he was eliminated via deadlock against novelty act Stevi Ritchie. As it was Jay's second bottom two appearance in a row, and as he was saved against the relatively popular Paul Akister the previous week, it's no surprise that he failed to get a bounce back. This week, the remaining seven acts are singing songs by Whitney Houston and Elton John but with the final double elimination looming, who will be still standing (ba dum tish) come the quarter-final next week?

X Factor UK 2014: Top 8 Perform: Big Band Week

Last week saw another 'shock exit' after Paul Akister was eliminated via deadlock having found himself in the sing-off against Jay James. With the public still reeling from his departure, who will be able to lead the pack as they take on big band songs?

X Factor UK 2014: Top 9 Perform: Michael Jackson vs Queen

Photobucket

Last week saw Jack Walton and Lola Saunders leave us after an automatic elimination on Saturday night and a tense deadlock situation against Stereo Kicks respectively. This leaves Cheryl with just one act and means that almost half of the remaining acts are from Simon's category. Tonight the acts are singing songs by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson and one of the biggest bands of all time, Queen. They won't want to be 'bad' as they all know that 'another one bites the dust' on Sunday night. (Disclaimer: No puns were hurt in the making of this recap, just severely overused).

X Factor UK 2014: Top 11 Perform: Halloween Week

Photobucket

Last week we finally saw Jake Quickenden leave after a few ropey performances, making him the first of Mel's acts to leave. This week is Halloween week so the acts are all ready to spook the judges with what they hope will be scarily good performances. But the biggest trick of all is courtesy of Simon...not only will there be a double elimination this week, one act will be leaving automatically at the end of Saturday's show! Who will leave the judges howling and who will be screaming by the end of Sunday night?

X Factor UK 2014: Top 12 Perform: Movies Night

Photobucket

Cheryl lost two of her acts after 80's week last Sunday when Stephanie Nala and Chloe Jasmine were sent packing after Stereo Kicks were saved in favour of the latter in the sing-off with Steph receiving the fewest votes and being sent home automatically. Tonight, the remaining twelve acts are singing songs from movies, who will deliver a blockbuster performance and who will be a box office flop?

X Factor UK 2014: Top 14 Perform: 80's Week

Photobucket

We said goodbye to Blonde Electra and Overload Generation last week after a double elimination whilst former Luminites singer Stephanie Nala was spared. This week, the remaining fourteen acts are performing songs from the 80's with Irene Cara, Whitney Houston and Simply Red amongst the artists being covered. The songs were acceptable in the 80's but will the acts' covers of them cut the mustard?

X Factor Australia 2014: Top 3 Perform: Grand Final

In what still seems like an unbelievable night, fan favourite Reigan Derry was eliminated from the competition after a terrific sing-off against Marlisa. Now, only three remain, the mediocre Brothers 3, average performer Marlisa Punzalan and rock star Dean Ray. Only one of this is the right winner, Australia better not screw this up!

Last week, the final 12 were revealed as each judge picked their final 3 and tonight all twelve will perform for your votes for the first time. However, as well as the twelve already chosen, there are four more acts competing as each judge has been asked to choose a wildcard. More on that later. With sixteen acts competing and two leaving by the end of the first weekend, who will fall foul of number ones?

Caitlyn Shadbolt exceeded everyone's expectations, coming out in 5th place. Only 4 remain, one per judge, and on this week semi-final they'll perform one powerful song and a passionate track and by the end of it, 3 will be making it to the final. Whose dream will be crushed?

Jason Heerah was eliminated last week after he shockingly found himself in the B2 along fan favourite Reigan Derry. For the first time this year, the contestants are singing two songs each, one killer track and one curve ball. Who'll step up to the challenge?

X Factor UK 2014: The Arena Auditions - Episode 4

Last night's auditions were fantastic, tonight we see the remainder of the auditionees vying out for a place in bootcamp and as we have seen, not everyone is able to impress in front of a full audience. Will anyone crack tonight and more importantly, who will set the place alight?

Tonight is the second of the arena auditions. Last night saw some strong talent but also the uncomfortable dismissal of Amy Connolly after she failed to impress Louis, Simon and Mel B. Will we have any big shocks tonight?
