The X Factor Live Shows Week 5 was all about songs from famous movies, so everything from Disney’s hit Camp Rock to classics like The Lion King.
Some people did well, others didnt. And Simon Cowell went to an all-time low by backing Jedward, thus kicking off talented Lucie Jones in a sing-off which shocked all involved.

Cheryl Cole has not only had a great week because her single, Fight For This Love smashed all previous record sales when hitting the number one spot this weekend, but also her X Factor contestant, Joe McElderry is now odds-on favourite to win the show.
For weeks the favourite to win the show was Danyl Johnson, but after his smug (but good) performance landed him in the sing-off this weekend, punters have lost confidence in him, meaning Joseph McElderry is now the favourite with the punters.
Not only is Joe McElderry now favourite to win The X Factor, but he’s Cheryl Cole’s only real chance of winning the show for the second year in a row, after Rikki Loney from her category was voted out two weeks ago, and her other contestant Lloyd Daniels is just… well, a poor man’s Joe McElderry.

X Factor reject Rikki Loney has spoken out placing the blame firmly on Cheryl Cole, on why he was kicked out of The X Factor on Sunday evening.
The 22-year-old Scottish singer said Cheryl Cole was so terrified of her own solo routine on Sunday that her own acts had to calm her down. Rikki said: “I felt like I was mentoring HER.“
He continued: “She was really, really nervous. She kept saying, ‘I can’t believe how nervous I am’ and we kept reassuring her. She said she couldn’t believe that we were telling her it would be OK – like we were being her mentor.“
Although Cheryl get the approval of the studio audience and Simon Cowell for her performance on Sunday, other fans have described the performance as hideous. Despite some bad comments, that hasn’t stopped her track heading towards the fastest selling ..read more
After another dramatic weekend on The X Factor, which saw Cheryl Cole Reduced to Tears, and the twins sing Britney in red PVC suits, Cheryl Cole’s act Rikki Loney was voted off the show.
On a night which saw Cheryl Cole Perform on The X Factor, and Whitney Houston launch her career comeback, it all came down to Simon Cowell to choose an act to leave the competition, after the public vote saw Rikki Loney and Rachel Adedeji in the bottom two.
Rikki Loney, mentored by Cheryl Cole sang a version of Westlife’s ‘Flying Without Wings‘, and Rachel Adedeji, mentored by Dannii Minogue sang a version of U2′s ‘With or Without You‘, both of whom did their absolute best to ensure they remained in the competition, but the decision came down to Simon Cowell.

This week, the theme on The X Factor was ‘Diva Week’, and with the celebrity guest being none other than Whitney Houston, it was most certainly applicable.
I don’t know about you guys, but I had high hopes for Rikki Loney, but we’re just not loving him right now. Whitney Houston warned Rikki that he maybe out of his depth this week. Simon Cowell also suggested Rikki raise his game if he stood any chance of winning the show.
Rikki Loney took on a huge hit, Aretha Franklin’s R.E.S.P.E.C.T, even managing to remove his hat for once. Unfortunately when it comes to belting out a hit, the backing singers do a MUCH better job. I really want to love Rikki, but I don’t.
On the plus side, he had a much better class of performance this week than in week 1. Good arrangement of the track too. (more…)
