X Factor Live Blog: Jedward Doomed And Danyl Johnson Is Beaten By Hitler
IT’S Rock Week on the X Factor, in which TV viewers get stuck between rock and the hard place that is finding something else to watch on another channel.
Cheryl Cole is wearing Mickey Mouse’s ears on her chest and telling Joe he’s going “all the way”.
Joe McElderry sings Don’t Stop Believin’, by Journey, whish is casue fo Louis Walsh to say:derry
“Don’t stop believin’ Joe, I think you’re going to make it to the final!”
Lucie Jones arrives and sings Sweet Child O’ Mine in the style of a young girl singing Guns ‘N Roses. Since this is how it is supposed to be sung, Lucie has done well. Tonight’s winner.
Danyl Johnson is weeping. Someone said he was less liked than Hitler. He should not worry. Hitler is wildly popular in some areas of the country, like Oldham. If he can crack the Home Counties - although, not he leafier parts of Surrey, obviously - he can still make it. Cheryl Cole, who what with the Mickey Mouse outfit, the husband and the tears could do a one-woman version of Steamboat Willy, tells Danyl, who has crooned I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing, by Aerosmith.
“I wanted to see you come out after a tough week, Rachel was in the bottom two for the first two weeks and she came out fighting - that’s kinda what I was hoping to see from you. You do it well, you do it every week but you just don’t do it for me.”
She’s so earnest. There is every chance that Cheryl Cole believes that what she says matters. This is worrying. She is there for her primary sexual characteristics. And dimples. Simon Cowell, who pretty much owns Cole’s factory-pressed career, steps in:
“It’s nothing to do with being in the bottom two. If you read headlines all week saying you’re the most hated contestant, it’s bound to affect you. I don’t what it is with you, last week you said he was too cocky and when he tries to calm it down you say he’s not cocky (the crowd cheer him on). Let’s be honest here, Danyl you are still probably the best singer in this entire competition.”
He is the best singer. He is also a better singer and dancer than Cheryl Cole.
Then non-dancing, non-singing Lloyd Daniels arrives- oh, for a twin Lloyd. Blame your parents. See if Adam Rickitt wants the job. And get a random vowel in your name, quick smart. Daniiel. Much better. Lloyd sings I Kissed A Girl, by Katy Perry. It’s not ironic. It’s a boast, and a bit of a shock, if we’re honest.
Daniel could do worse than kiss Stacey Solomon. She’s up next with Somewhere Only We Know, by Keane. Stacey is genuinely likeable. Should win.
Jamie sings Get Your Rocks Off, the Primal Scream staple. He has big hair. Huge hair. His huge hair doesn’t go with his face. He looks like an accountant in a Halloween wig.
Rachel Adedeji did well last week. But now she stands still and moves her hand in the way boybands do when they are “grabbing the moon” and taking it home to their mum. She sings One, by U2, the band fronted by Mr G9, Bono. Anyone singing his songs might be accused of blasphemy.
Rachel ends by kissing her hand and gifting the kiss to the crowd. She is blessing them. She has taken Bono to her heart.
It’s Halloween, so here are John & Edward, also know as Jedward, which sound a bit like Deadwood. They are styled as two lesbians. They are not nearly terrible enough. They need to be truly dire if they are to win. This was a let down.
It’s Olly Murs, the man who sounds like a contagion.
He signs Come Together , the Aerosmith version of The Beatles tune. It is awful. At the end he rips open his t shirt. He is wearing a poppy. People have been shot for less. Where’s your respect. That internet poster who prefers Hitler to Danyl Johnson will be outraged. Simon Cowell says he is proud of him.
John & Edward or Jamie are out.

I have been following this year’s x factor with great interest. Some of the performers are quite good. I did say, with great interest, because, rumor is circulating about a certain Mr Brian Friedman, he is the choreographer director for the show. He has made known his views on who he wants to win. That happens to be Danyl.
My concern is that the show is biased in favour of Danyl and this could lead to the choreography team neglecting to work with the other contestants to the same level. It looks like Olly and especially Joe are not getting a fair deal . It is a singing contest, I think people involved in the making of the show, should be impartial and encourage all equally. I think Joe has a good chance of winning, if he is given a fairer chance. Has anyone else notice how certain contestants are treated and others ignored?

it is a real shame because the X Factor started out being a really entertaining programme, but it has now disintegrated into a competition between judges to the detriment of the singers, a horror show as people gawp at how bad Jedward are, and a cynical manipulation of the judging - Simon could (and should) have saved Rachel last night because even when he is on form, Lloyd (bless him) doesn’t come anywhere near her vocally (or Miss Frank, come to that), but wait a minute, he DOES have a very large teenage following who pick up the phone and spend their money voting for him….
in other words, it’s all about the money and the viewing figures and those poor sods on stage are no more than puppets to Simon Cowell’s puppetmaster.
what used to be an exciting competition has reduced to commercial greed.

Shock Horror. Anorka reveals bias in writings. First the BBC and Now Anorka, The old order is crumbling
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:33 am
The author of this is so biased as we can all see. The whole piece is skewed towards certain contestants. I love stacey’s voice and thats it but she is the most annoying of all the contestestants. She looks so fake and acts so fake, whats with all that squeaky voice of hers, i never hear a thing and she definitely aint gonna win. As for Cheryl, she is the worst of the judges this year. How dare she condemns the the other gal band for their dressing while she cant even sort herself out. Her comments are always out of place and the only right choice she made this year was Joe, the rest, RUBBISH.

Enjoyed the x-factor. If X Factor is really about singing. Try listening to each of them without visual, the decision is obvious. But since the name of the show speaks for itself. I would cheer Jamie, Lucie, Joe, Olly on. For their personality, talent & performance transmitted over the airwaves is worth giving my time to watch them. I must applaud John & Ed for their taking every challenges week after week and carrying on with the show. They truly do and work alot more to make up for them lack of vocal range in this competition. Llyod has a natural charm that would steal young hearts. His voice texture reminds of the band “Men at work”. All in…. great work guys. You guys are winners uniquely.
November 2nd, 2009 at 1:20 am
I’m only watching X factor “second-hand” via youtube as I don’t have a TV -HALLELULIA!
There are some contestants who don’t need a lot of supplementary action on stage ‘cos they’re good enough to stand alone!
take away all the supplementary stage action and what have u got? Not a lot 
I’ve been intruiged by the media comments and so I thought I’d take a look. OMG Simon C is SOOO shitty. He let a vote go to deadlock against someone who has got talent (Rachel) and someone who has NONE (Lloyd) That was clearly demonstrated in the show… He’s pulling the strings anyway so why couldn’t he do the decent thing and make a good decision?????
Why do the judges have their “pets”? It doesn’t make for a healthy show or a fair competition in my view
Anyway i’m sorry to see Rachel go, I think if Stacey wasn’t a single mum, she wouldn’t be there, Mr pretend jimi Hendrix is way too old fashioned (even if there is a 60’s revival) and I’ve saved the worst ’til last THE TWINS AAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH. Yes they have energy, yes they are vaguely amusing but NO they DO NOT have talent
November 1st, 2009 at 10:23 pm
what is going on people the show is becoming a joke and a fix now,this is a singing competiton not a puppet show,we wanna see the best singer on the show please
November 1st, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Just for the record of your misinformed publisher of this piece,Oldham does not like Hitler,if this is a comment on the trouble the town had a number of years ago i would like to point out that it was started by the now sudo respectable bnp bringing coaches from london, birmingham and other nice places that dont like Hitler,to start problems in a town that did not want this type of scum visiting.Please do you home work or return to commenting on the size of Jordans chest.
November 1st, 2009 at 2:16 pm
John and Edward are indeed someones children…and their parents should have done the decent thing and told them that they are crap singers and not to go on the show.
November 1st, 2009 at 11:28 am
John and Edward have to go- they can’t sing, they only got through cos they’re Irish and Louis is their mentor. Talented singers (Miss Frank) have to go just to make room for them. Come on, it’ll be a joke if they win. I admire their tenacity though, but they should be on BGT as a comedy novelty act like the greek dancers last year… omg imagine simon’s face, come on! let’s get john and edward into BGT instead - it would be funny, and the X Factor would be a serious contest again!

Ed
I whole heartedly agree, its a bloody awful show, the kids must be traumatised, but hey ho, I bet their parents sign the consent forms…..
I actually don’t watch it, the trailers are enough to put me off ever since it began.
November 1st, 2009 at 10:44 am
I would like to ask all you people what if these were your kids… and the show put them in the top 12 ..and then you had to listen to the 4 judges make fun of them every week so the show could have higher ratings…
This is like inviting 2 little kids to come to your house so you can pick on them and laugh at them for your own benefit… Im ashamed of the judges
Don’t you people have any compassion for these boys?
ya know… i never heard of x-factor til AOL put the britney vid up of john and edward. Then i started reading all the bashing on these 2 kids..so i watched all the video diaries and interviews and read about them… and now.. i am fed up with the bashing these 2 guys are getting…they are funny nice and havent done anything but smile and have a good time and these kids are getting slammed ..
i just read about them being bullyied ..
http://www.mirror.co.uk/…-21788231/
personally i think they are hilarious and i do not care they are not note perfect..they entertain…PEOPLE these kids just turned 18 if u don’t like um dont vote for them but geez hearing the boos and reading all this stuff …what if u were them
ya know like them or not give these kids a break… they didnt cheat to get in the top 12 the 4 judges put them there.. so whose fault is this? not theirs
I feel sorry for them

Dishing the dirt on Danyl…The worms are crawling out of the cupboard for their 15 minutes of fame. Danyl has talent that no one can deny.This week I felt sorry for him…but this show is all about votes , so maybe we were meant to…Danyl should not have told the press about his sexual gender in the first place , he only has himself to blame. The public are interested in your talent Danyl, not who you go to bed with.If you want to go far , keep your private life just that. Private.
November 1st, 2009 at 3:55 am
but hey danyl got onto a headline again for what, at least four weeks in a row now?
November 1st, 2009 at 3:53 am
ok… so blame it on cheryl and try to insult her face and her dress when she’s criticizing your danyl and telling the truth. way to go
November 1st, 2009 at 1:54 am
Cheryl is becoming very annoying and the comments about daniel are really annoying and somebody should something about that
November 1st, 2009 at 1:18 am
Again i watched the x factor and hated the twins. PLEASE PLEASE for the sake of humanity get rid of the twins or against my better judgement i will have to change channels and watch Strickly come dancing.
November 1st, 2009 at 12:24 am
lol, someone’s got a hard on for Stacey. Sorry mate, she’s adorable and all she just ain’t good enough. Agree on the rest though. This was a bad week
November 1st, 2009 at 12:14 am
Was that rock?
It bored me to tears.
November 1st, 2009 at 12:03 am
Lol Mrs Cole was only jelous of danyl….because he can actually sing shes only no1 by luck…and danyl is a nice guy she on the other hand only goes for wife beaters…leave him alone…
October 31st, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Nah, Danyl DIED on stage, in the past he’s been a good enough singer even if he’s not popular with the audience but this week he fell way short of his usual singing talents.
Lloyd sucked vocal but was adorable anyway.
Olly was the best ever. EVER. He rocked that song, he rocked the performance, he earns 12 gold stars and should win the competition based on tonight alone. He is the next Will Young only he’s got a voice and sex appeal.
Lol, Jedward, may suck but for some reason people like them. I go back and forth, tonight I liked their train wreck performance.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Is louis Walsh really on the same planet as the rest of humanity? Even if he was sleeping with the twins he surely can’t believe that they were entertaining. Or perhaps they are. Just in the same way that you watch a clip of a kid skateboarding doing a rail slide and falling off landing astride the rail and cringing.
