X Factor 2009

JP Liz

The X Factor's judges have agreed to release their own fragrances, according to a report.

Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole will bring out their individual scents in time for the Christmas market, The Sun claims.

It is believed that the stars will meet with experts this week to discuss how their products should smell.

A source said: "Simon says his will be the top-seller - he's already winding the other three up."

Each judge will reportedly receive a £250,000 advance under the new deal, as well as a slice of the profits. The fragrances are expected to be released under the X Factor brand.

The Big Red Button

I have to admit, I don't get the fuss about Ollie at all! I don't actually dislike him or anything, but I don't think he's anything special, from what I've seen. Definitely can't see him getting to the finals.

As others have said, Joe is definitely this years Eoghan Quigg - not quite as annoying though, thankfully. I suppose he'll get a fair few votes from the teenage girls though.

Miss Frank are Louis' only real hope, they're still not finalist material though. I hope he doesn't let them do that silly rapping stuff in the live shows!

I don't particularly like Lloyd, Rachel, Kandy Rain or Ricky. They're all very bleah.

Like almost everyone else, I despise John and Edward. However I feel a little bit sorry for them too. After this, they won't be able to walk down the street without getting abuse hurled at them! They're very young and probably just didn't know what they were getting themselves into. I could actually see one of two of the others (e.g. Rachel or Kandy Rain) being kicked out before them.

Danyl is irritating and fake. And very self-aware, and I don't mean that in a good way. He seems very calculating in how he portrays himself. I think he'll stay in til near the end, but I hope he won't.

My predictions for the final - Stacey (3rd), Jamie (2nd) and Lucie (1st).

Cant stand theses two lads so arrogant, goin to put a nice bet for them to be eliminated first seen good odds of 7/4. They may get the girly vote but they wont have the backing of the Irish vote.

Handsome Bob

I know I said that they would be the first out, but I just have a weird feeling that they might survive this weekend. All depends on Cowell really, if he tears into them they could well get a sympathy vote.

These twins are the focus of many jokes at the moment. Why they allowed Louis Walsh to make them look so foolish is beyond me. Is there no one there to advise any of these young contestants? What's the betting he doesn't sign them up for a record deal when they finally get voted off, whether it's this week or next week or whenever it happens.

He should be ashamed of himself for hijacking them and projecting them into this public circus. He knows he and they are being talked about and supposedly this is what he wanted for them....people talking about the twins!! I also assume their parents are happy with this arrangement as otherwise they would have done something about it.

I say it again....he should be SACKED. Pick a real talent and develop it Louis! That way you'll get more respect.

Handsome Bob

Honestly yenraek, Cowell is the one who pulls the strings here.

I agree with all of the above--just compare it to the pair of eejets who were picked to represent us in the eurovision a while ago-- donna and joe
The problem that people like this will always have in the future is that NO ONE will ever take them seriously and in my opinion they find themselves playing to the gallery[take a look at Joes antics for example-acting the clown constantly because he feels he has to ----and i see a little of that with the twins as well. Louis walshe has sunk to an all time low this time -if thats possible-- and should realize that he has now completely ruined a pair of kids [who may or may not deserve it because of their highbrow attitude] but who will never be the same one way or another. Their parents have a lot to answer to in my opinion--could it be that the parents are craving the limelight themselves and dont mind how they get it--a little like those mums in USA who push their daughters to be child stars and models --sometimes with awful consequences.

Tabloid reports have claimed that Simon Cowell may miss the first X Factor live show due to illness.
According to the Daily Star, the judge is currently "laid up at home" and has only been able to keep in contact with his Over-25s group by phone. Cowell is mentoring Jamie Archer, Olly Murs and Danyl Johnson.
If he misses the show, it will be the first time he has been absent from the series in the programme's history. The 50-year-old reportedly came down with flu after holding large birthday celebrations last weekend.
However, according to Cowell's spokesperson and ITV1, he is still expected to take part this weekend. "We are expecting all four judges here on Saturday," said a show source.

no Simon tonight

Sounds like more BS to promote the show!

Rumoured list of song choices tonight,

Rachel - Let Me Entertain You
Stacey - The Scientist
Lucie - Footprints In The Sand
John and some Edward - Rock DJ
Miss Frank - Who's Loving You
Kandy Rain - Addicted To Love
Lloyd - Cry Me A River
Rikki - Back To Black
Joe - No Regrets
Olly - She's The One
Danyl - And I'm Telling You (I'm Not Going)
Jamie - Get It On

If it is true, then

Cheryl is an utter idiot and Simon clearly has no idea what to do with Danyl

I kind of like Miss FRANK's choice though

Busi_Girl08

Anyone watching Harry Hill?

Miss FRANK eating Louis...now that I would like to see :pac:
