    Ruth is to appear somewhere in Ireland (cant remember where) ahead of her album launch next week!!!! Whatever happened to the clause that the finalists couldn't release anything for a year??


    Ah! Go away! Will Ya...???

    She was only booted off last week.

    How in the hell could she manage to get an album together that quickly.
    Stop talking through your hole...!!!!

    And I took the spoilers off cause its just so ridiculous.

    Well she might have a Spanish album that she'd been working on. She had her own website set up, might have a fanbase already?

    Just watched the show. Eoghan told Diana he loved her on T.V.?? Wow.
    ha fair play to him and even though i dont really like him as a performer i did feel for the guy when he ran on stage to hug her.

    Oh god i was cringing at this. Get over it Eoghan,she won't even remember you in a few weeks and running on before she finished her song not that she was good but it was a little ott!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,835 ✭✭✭unreggd


    Yeah, no album from Ruth

    [the lack of logic im seein lately is unreal!]

    She'll be performing at Burn Beach Club, formerly Bondi Beach Club, on Thursday night

    Fair enough!

    Not disputing any public appearances, but the album comment was ridiculous.

    HAhaha!!! As good as she is! Could you imagine they steaming pile of poop it would be if she managed to record and release an album in a few weeks.

    We'll probably see her trying to make a go of it next year. Around the time of next years X FACTOR. Just like that ginger/blonde Welsh muppet and the incestuous siblings did a few weeks back.
    She's already off to better start than most former contestants. With a fan base in the UK, Ireland and presumably Spain.

    Take That have reportedly pulled out of their appearance on this Saturday's X Factor final.

    The band apparently refused to perform after discovering that recently reformed boyband Boyzone would also be present.

    A source told The Sun: "Take That are huge fans of X Factor, especially Gary Barlow. He feels a real affinity with the show and loves encouraging new talent. When they heard Boyzone were on the bill they decided not to do it. It’s really upset the schedule."

    Beyoncé, Seal and Duffy will also be performing with the finalists.

    Diana has supposedly blamed Cheryl for her X Factor removal.

    According to reports, Diana disagreed with Cheryl over her songs, 'Girlfriend' and 'White Flag' - and said to her backstage that she should have picked them herself.Intresting...

    "First came the tears and then came the tantrums. Diana was acting like a spoilt kid. She and Cheryl had words backstage and Cheryl felt she needed to spend time with Diana."

    Diana went round to Cheryl’s house for Sunday dinner in an attempt to "patch things up", but was actually still upset about her final weeks on the hit show.

    "She felt she should have been allowed to quit last week rather than be booted off. She knew that she'd already reached her peak. She felt she had lost the judges' support."

    Diana, herself said in a media interview that she had a lovely lunch at Cheryl’s and did not mention anything about an argument.

    Turn your BAD hair day into a GOOD Hair Day

    What can you do if you wake up with just a few minutes to get ready for the ahead and your hair is not playing ball?

    Im a firm believer in Dry shampoo and it is a life saver for turning that bad hair day into a good hair day, plus, it can give that cool messy hair young girls just rave about! Whether your hair is long or short, dry shampoo will save you from greasy roots! Simply spray a little onto the hair and comb through, but if you are trying to give a little texture to the hair work well into your locks and twist, turn and work the hair into a funky style.id was looking for a new one when i was looking at Ireland AM the other morning and their beauty expert recommended Model.Me "Dry Shampoo" which cost €9.00from Toni & Guy salons nationwide and Boots chemists.check out the website as she recommended other cool products. I used it and its FAB!!!a key buy!!!

    Has anybody tried the Bliss Problem Salved balm that is new out for christmas??? Apparently it treats a range of beauty problems including : chapping, blister prevention, post-peel or wax woes, craggy cuticles, unruly eyebrows, flyaways, and minor makeup mishaps. I saw it on Xpose there a couple of weeks ago and am tempted to purchase but I have bought so many of these type of products in the past and want to know if it really works!!!!!!!!!
    The packaging does look tempting!!!Any advice??

    was that really a TV3 pimp?

    I just assumed he was someone who only has the 4 channels :P


    Im not excited at all about this final, lost all interest when Ruth got the boot!
    [woo, she's playin over here tmoro night, cant wait!!!]

    I think that's all BS about Diana bein mad at Cheryl, Cheryl always said from Day one she wouldnt let them go out doin a song they didnt want to

    I jus thought it was stupid how they kept ignorin Louis' stupid "diana needs to dance" comments, then they did a big production!!

    Oh well, roll on saturday, cmon d Alex!!!

    Eoghan and JLS please jus GTFO!!!!!!!!!!!!exclamation mark

    JLS will team up with Rihanna on this Saturday's X Factor final, according to The Mirror.

    The group will perform the star's hit single 'Umbrella' with her.

    A show insider is quoted as saying: "They are thrilled to be working with Rihanna. It is a massive coup. She has an incredibly wide fanbase which is bound to help pull votes.

    "The feeling is that Rihanna’s backing is the clincher.

    "Even Simon Cowell has admitted they could win. He views them as an increasingly profitable asset."

    Fellow finalists Alexandra Burke and Eoghan Quigg will also perform duets. Burke will team up with Westlife while Eoghan has Boyzone.

    Bookies last night slashed the odds on JLS winning to 7-2.

    What happened to Alexandra performing with Beyoncé???

    Sabotage right der!!!!!!!!!


    [Woo, Ruth Lorenzo tnight :D:D:D:D:D:D]


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    Whats the final format? Do all 3 acts go through to the results show, or does one go during the first show? If the former, at what point does it get whittled down to 2?

    Well, its to be expected. Already we have had Same Difference, Girls Aloud, Leona. X-factor judges are good at getting their bands on it...
