Last Saturday (20th of February) me and my big sister Rebecca travelled down to London (which is about 1 hour from where I already live) to see The X Factor live tour at Wembley Arena.
The X Factor contestants that I was most looking forward to seeing was: Lloyd Daniels, Stacey Soloman, Jedward and Joe Mcelderry and they failed to disappoint, they were absolutely fantastic.
This was one of the best tours that I have ever been to and i will never forget it.
Take a look at the pics below and tell us what you think …

You’re already really famous Joe, but what were you doing before you became a star on The X Factor?
I was at college studying for a National Diploma in Performing Arts in Newcastle. I’d just finished my first year when i went to the auditions. I was doing a bit of singing on the course… but not as much as I’m doing now!
How amazing did it feel when Dermot finally said you’d won?
Well judging by my face and the way I leapt back by about 20 feet, I think everyone could see how shocked I was.
Do you think Cheryl was as suprised as you?
I think so. I didn’t know weather I’d heard my name or not, and Cheryl kind of ..read more

Mcelderry won a once in a lifetime opportunity: £1million contract with the entertainment mogul’s label SyCo Records as part of the TV talent show prize.
He told Digital Spy: “That’s something that I will have to discuss with the record company and we will find out a bit more about their plans as we go through.”
He also revealed that he would like to work with songwriter Ryan Tedder.
He said: “I don’t know where the rumour came from but I you know it would be nice. I never actually said it, but it ..read more
X Factor winner Joe McElderry has revealed he is itching to start work with Ryan Tedder on his debut album, which will hopefully hit shelves in 2010.
Joe had high praise for the OneRepublic star, who worked with Leona Lewis on her massive hit, ‘Bleeding Love’, and Beyonce’s hit, ‘Halo’.
Joe McElderry said: “I would love Simon Cowell to put me with Ryan Tedder for my album’s ballads because he is an amazing songwriter.” But before Joe can head into the studio to record his album, he is going on the road with The X Factor Live Tour, which kicks off on February 15th, and will earn the young popstar around £300,000.

As I have said many times on this Cheryl Cole Fansite, this is and always be a ‘fansite’, so I am more than happy to post pictures and stories of when our readers have met the people this website is focused on. For example, Cheryl Cole, The X Factor Contestants, Judges etc.
I got this email from one of our regular readers today, Molly Tate. Molly has a track record of meeting X Factor contestants, as the pictures below show. Molly met The X Factor winner Joe McElderry recently after she visited the house the contestants were staying in.
Molly tells me: “I got to meet Joe because I am a massive fan of his so I decided to go up to the X Factor house in Golders Green, London but i didn’t have any idea that i would actually get to meet him and talk to him. I then saw the doors opening in and i looked twice at him because i couldn’t believe i had actually seen Joe. Then he started walking towards me and he asked me how I was, Then I said to him Joe I think your going to win The X Factor so that made him give me a hug and I asked him if he would have a photo with me and he replied yes.“
She continued: “Joe is a genuinely nice guy and he deserves every success he gets. I have never met anyone nicer than Joe. He stood their talking to me for about half an hour and not every celebrity would do that. That was the best day of my life and i will never forget it.“
Molly also got to meet Lucie Jones (my favourite), and saw Jamie Archer, Danyl Johnson and Lloyd Daniels.

Well, it was an uphill battle for Joe McElderry after winning The X Factor 2009. Traditionally, The X Factor Winner always gets the Christmas number one spot after winning the show, but after a well-publicised Internet campaign to get Rage Against The Machine into the number one spot succeeded, Joe was left downhearted.
But it wasn’t all bad for Joe, as his single, The Climb managed to take the New Year Number One spot instead, where it shifted 69,792 copies in its second week. But one week later, and Joe McElderry is knocked off the number one by Lady GaGa with her single, Bad Romance, which she performed on The X Factor a few weeks ago.
