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 …

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.

X Factor reject Lloyd Daniels will miss out on money and gigs because he is under age. The 16-year-old Welsh singer wont be permitted to perform at some adult-only venue’s, according to reports.
He will be aloud to perform at some venues, only making a brief appearance, but due to the age issue, he could loose out on lucrative fees of up to £5,000 per performance.
Lloyd Daniels spoke about the issue to The Sun, saying: “I can do gigs in some places – but I just have to go on stage and then come out again. I can’t wait to get out there and start gigging.“

WAE’AYE man? In an interview yesterday, last week’s looser on The X Factor, Lloyd Daniels, admitted he found it hard to understand his mentor, Cheryl Cole – because of her thick Geordie accent.
The young singer confessed his mentor’s lingo meant he couldn’t always follow her instructions, but he again maintained that he and Joe McElderry were treated fairly by Cole, despite the rumours she spent more time with Joe.
Lloyd Daniels said: “I didn’t think she backed him more than she backed me, Joe was note perfect, every judge seemed to like Joe which they didn’t with me, there’s a lot of support for Joe. She’s someone to look up to, I had the best mentor. I ..read more
Last weekend we saw young Lloyd Daniels eliminated from The X Factor after he failed to secure enough public votes to keep him in the show. Today, Lloyd has spoken out to praise his mentor, Cheryl Cole, who helped and nurtured him each week on the popular ITV talent show.
Cheryl Cole has been criticised over the last few weeks over spending too much time with Joe McElderry, who had much more of a chance of winning the show than Lloyd did, but Lloyd refuted those criticisms, insisting Cheryl showed fairness between him and Joe.
Lloyd finally crashed out of The X Factor on Sunday on the weekend where the judges vote could ..read more
Lloyd Daniels dreams were in tatters this evening as he was given the boot from The X Factor after failing to win enough votes from the public.
When asked by Dermot O’Leary, both Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell predicted that Lloyd would be given the boot this evening, while Cheryl and Dannii refused to name someone specifically, instead insisting all acts could be in trouble.
Lloyd Daniels failed to win over enough viewers with his performances of Take That’s A Million Love Songs and Elton John’s Im Still Standing on last nights show. Now Lloyd has gone, it means Simon is the only judge with two acts left in their category, while Cheryl and Dannii each ..read more
On this weeks X Factor, each contestant had to sing two songs, one by Elton John, one by Take That. One song had to be a ballad, while the other a little more up-tempo, to show the public that you had the vocal abilities, and the ability to put on a good performance with a production, dancers etc.
A lot of people criticised Lloyd Daniels – A Million Love Songs Performance – including me – but a lot of people are saying Lloyd’s second performance of the evening was much better.
I completely disagree. Lloyd had to sing I’m Still Standing, a massive hit by Elton John, and it was terrible. One thing i will agree on, is the song choice. Lloyd Daniels has a very soft voice, with a certain tone. I’m Still Standing was a good match, but that’s as far as it goes. His vocal was flat all the way through in my opinion.
As i said in my original post, Lloyd Daniels is in real trouble on The X Factor this week, and I think the predictions that he’ll be given the boot tomorrow could prove correct. I would go as far as to say that his vocal is ‘almost’ as bad as Jedward’s was.
How did you find Lloyd Daniels’ – I’m Still Standing Performance? Leave your comments below…
Louis: “Round 1, you kind of won me over. It just didn’t look like you were having a good time, and it was just a bit karaoke for me.“
Dannii: “Lyrically, you’re still proving a point there. A fantastic production. Vocally, it is still shaky, but better than the first song.“
Simon: “I thought that was a silly song choice. That retro routine didn’t suit you, it didn’t suit the song. It was like something from an amateur dramatics production. Cheryl, you are a pop star, you understand what’s right for the artist, what’s right for the song.“
Cheryl: “I’m very very proud of you for coming out and delivering each week after you get such hard criticism.“
Cheryl Cole chose a huge Take That hit for young Lloyd Daniels on The X Factor this week, ‘A Million Love Songs’.
It’s was a very safe song choice for Lloyd, with not too many high notes to trip him up, because lets be honest, he is probably one of the weakest contestants left in the show at this point. Having said that, the song actually worked – no big production, just a cutesy vocal that’s going to appeal to his young teenage fanbase.
This is probably one of Lloyd Daniels best performances on this series of The X Factor so far, but I think Lloyd is in real trouble this week.
What do you think? Did Lloyd Daniels – A Million Love Songs capture your heart? Leave a comment below…
Louis: “Lloyd the thing is you are in the final five, so obviously people like you more than I do. I think the song suited you better than last week.“
Dannii: “There’s a million girls out there that want your phone number. You always put on a great performance, you always bounce back. I’d just say, don’t complicate your melodies at all, because you’re making it tougher for yourself and tuning wise it’s going off a bit in the verses.“
Simon: “Look, Lloyd. It was a very very good choice of song. It’s a teen pop song. I thought you sang it OK, but what you’ve got to show us in the audience is that you’ve got fire in your eyes, that you want to stay in this competition. In the second song I want to see a little bit more commitment, OK?“
I’m getting a sense of deja vu right now, as I sit down to write this blog post about The X Factor Betting Odds for this week.
Why Deja Vu? Because for the fifth week in a row, the bookies are betting Lloyd Daniels is favourite to go on The X Factor Week 8. For the last four weeks running, Lloyd has been favourite to go, and all four weeks, he defied the odds and managed to keep his place in the competition. Probably down to all the young girls voting for him, because its certainly not down to his voice, which is ‘almost’ as bad as Jedward’s was.

The five remaining finalists on The X Factor are reportedly struggling to learn their two songs in preparation for this Saturdays show, according to insiders. The five remaining contestants will have to perform one Elton John song and one by Take That on this weeks show.
Olly Murs, Joe McElderry, Stacey Soloman, Danyl Johnson and Lloyd Daniels will all have to sing and perform twice on the live show. A source told The Sun: “Learning two songs is killing them. The plan is for the acts to do one up-tempo number and a more ballady one to show off both sides of their voices.“
Creative director Brian Friedman has also been told to help the contestants ..read more
X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has been forced to step in and calm down Welsh singer Lloyd Daniels, after he became the latest wannabe to threaten to quit the show.
The 16-year-old was furious with Louis Walsh’s comments on Sunday evening, where Louis said “I cant believe Olly is in the bottom two. It should have been Lloyd, not Olly.“
Lloyd Daniels stormed off the stage after Sunday nights result show shouting “I’m going, I can’t carry on.“
A friend of Lloyd said: “Lloyd is fed up of Louis’ bitchy comments about him and just flipped. He is feeling really low. Fortunately Cheryl has reassured him and he’s feeling much better.“
