X Factor UK 2014: Top 3 Perform: The Final
19 December, 2014 1:29 PM
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
13 December, 2014 3:34 PM
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
06 December, 2014 4:51 PM
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
27 November, 2014 11:33 PM
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?
Recap, videos and bad Whitney/Elton puns after the JUMP...
X Factor UK 2014: Top 8 Perform: Big Band Week
23 November, 2014 2:29 PM
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
2:17 PM
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
05 November, 2014 3:52 PM
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
31 October, 2014 4:39 PM
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?

Interview: Imogen Brough
25 October, 2014 6:16 PM
Singer- songwriter Imogen Brough has an insane amount of talent (the kind the makes even Beyoncé jealous) with her soaring vocals being perfectly suited for the Celtic inspired pop anthems she has released. Having just released her latest single, Imogen was kind enough to answer a few questions. You can read the full interview below:
X Factor UK 2014: Top 14 Perform: 80's Week
24 October, 2014 3:01 PM
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?

20 October, 2014 7:27 PM
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!

I still can't believe the promising XOX was sent home last week after facing the boring Tee.

Plus an exciting new twist! (Spoiler alert: it's not)

It may not seem like a year since Sam Bailey was crowned winner of The X Factor, in fact technically speaking it isn't but let's not dwell on technicalities, indeed it's X Factor time again. And as if to say that 2011-2013 didn't really happen, head honcho Simon Cowell and his right hand woman Cheryl Cole are back. As is Louis Walsh, let's face it, there's no show without Punch. The fourth seat has been filled by Spice Girl and former X Factor Australia judge Mel B whose straight talking manner during a guest stint in 2012 obviously impressed Simon enough to offer her a full time role. So who will be this year's stand-outs as the room auditions begin?
