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 …

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.

Other contestants who will appear on The X Factor Tour include Lucie Jones, Danyl Johnson, Jamie Afro, Olly Murs, Lloyd Daniels, Stacey Soloman and Jedward.

But Joe insists he will not rush to release his album: “There are meetings about it now. The plan is for my album to come out after the tour. It’s going to be similar to what they’ve done for the past couple of years so it gives you time to do it,” he said.

So will you be buying Joe McElderry’s Album? And are you going to The X Factor Tour this year? Leave your comments below please…

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.

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.“

A lot of other X Factor contestants which have already been eliminated from the show have so far gone on to make money appearing at Iconic London club, G-A-Y. But Lloyd will have to wait before he is aloud to perform at the venue and is to meet his management to finalise details of his first shows following his exit from The X Factor this weekend.

He said: “I just want to get out there gigging now. I can’t wait until The X Factor Tour next year.” Lloyd has bucked the trend by not backing his fellow ‘boys category’ contestant Joe McElderry to win The X Factor, and is instead backing Dagenham lass Stacey Soloman to win.

Lloyd said: “I love her voice. I can’t wait to buy her album.” So is it fair that Lloyd is to loose out on thousands in lucractive fees? Leave your thoughts below…

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 had a bit of trouble with the accent but that was it – it was hilarious.”

Lloyd also mentioned he has received a ton of fan mail containing love letters, phone numbers and more. He even admitted phoning three of his admirers to say thank you for their gifts: “They didn’t say much to be honest, they were just screaming down the phone.”

Would anybody like a phone call from Lloyd Daniels? Send him some fan mail, you may be lucky
