The X Factor series 8 - LIVE Quarter-Final Weekend!


















DAYS LEFT FOR X FACTOR LIVE SEMI-FINAL SHOW: Only 4 days to go!

DAYS LEFT FOR X FACTOR LIVE SEMI-FINAL RESULTS' SHOW: Only 5 days to go!

DAYS LEFT FOR RELEASE OF REBECCA FERGUSON's DEBUT ALBUM 'HEAVEN': Only 6 days to go!


Saturday-night, it was double of the excitement as the 5 acts performed twice on that X Factor stage with Guilty Pleasures and Heroes' night, in their bids to make-it through to the Semi-Final.

Meanwhile, on Sunday-night, it was all-about the tense results, which were the deciding factor!

After seeing some of this-year's X Factor finalists' return on-stage performing charity single 'Wishing On A Star' with JLS and One Direction and performances from both Jessie J and Xtra Factor host Olly Murs with the Muppets, it was time to reveal those all-important results.

The first-act who made-it through to the Semi-Final was..........AMELIA!

The second-act who booked a place in the Semi-Final was..........MARCUS!

Only 1 more place from the public vote was up-for-grabs and only Little Mix, Janet and Misha B were left on-stage waiting to find-out who secured that place.

The final-place from the public-vote went to..........LITTLE MIX!

So that meant that both Janet and Misha B were in the bottom-two, resulting in them performing for the judges' vote in the dreaded Final Showdown.

A tough and tense decision it was for the judges' but sadly, it had to be done.

Louis was first-up to decide and he decided to send-home..........JANET.

Tulisa was next to decide and the N-Dubz star decided to send-home..........JANET.

It was a difficult decision for Kelly because she was next-up to decide, having to choose to send one of her own acts home.

Kelly was unable to choose which act she was to send-home so the decision was down to the majority vote and as Louis and Tulisa decided to send Janet home, those votes had counted which meant that the X Factor journey ended for Janet Devlin.

Gary didn't need to decide but was asked who he would have sent home and he too, said he would have sent Janet home.

So it was Misha B who secured that final 4th-place in the Semi-Final and it was Janet who was eliminated from the competition.

Missed any of the action? You can watch both The X Factor and The Xtra Factor online NOW on the ITV Player @ http://www.itv.com/itvplayer

Good luck to the 4 remaining acts, the eliminated acts, the judges/mentors, the presenters and everyone of the X Factor team!

Weekend 7 saw The X Factor go to the Movies!

The 6 acts did all they could on Saturday-night with their performances, in their bid to remain in the competition, whilst on Sunday-night, they found-out their fate on the hit ITV show, with the results!

After performances from star-of-the-moment Rihanna and last-year's X Factor runner-up Rebecca Ferguson, it was time to reveal those all-important results of the viewers' votes.

The first-act through to Weekend 8 was..........MISHA B!

The second-act securing a place were..........LITTLE MIX!

So it was Janet, Amelia and Craig left on-stage and only 1 more place from the public-vote was up-for-grabs.

Kelly was next-up to decide and like Gary, remained loyal to her act and decided to send-home.....CRAIG.

Tulisa was next-up to decide and after such-time, she decided to send-home.....AMELIA.

Last-up was Louis, who had to make the casting-vote and after taking a little-bit of time, he decided to send-home.....CRAIG.

The X Factor Series 8 - Live Show Weekend 6
















DAYS LEFT FOR RELEASE OF REBECCA FERGUSON's DEBUT ALBUM 'HEAVEN': Only 22 days to go!


DAYS LEFT FOR RELEASE OF X FACTOR 2011 FINALISTS' CHARITY SINGLE 'WISHING ON A STAR': Only 15 days to go!

DAYS LEFT FOR RELEASE OF OLLY MURS' NEW ALBUM 'IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW': Only 15 days to go!

DAYS LEFT FOR RELEASE OF ONE DIRECTION's LATEST SINGLE 'GOTTA BE YOU': Only 1 day left to go!


A Queen vs. Lady GaGa week meant that there was bound to be plenty of action and that was exactly what happened on Weekend 6!

Last-night, it was all-about the performances as the 7 acts had done their bit with their performances. Tonight, it was all-about the Results as 7 was to turn to 6.

After performances from last-year's finalists' One Direction and star-of-the-moment Lady GaGa, it was time to reveal those all-important results.

The first-act making-it through to Weekend 7 was........CRAIG!

The second-act who secured a place from the public vote was........JANET!

Another-act going-through to next-week's show was........MARCUS, which also means that both of Gary's acts' are through!

The fourth-act who made it through was........AMELIA!

So Little Mix, Misha B and Kitty were the only acts left on that X Factor stage and only 1 more place from the public vote was up-for-grabs.

That fifth and final place from the public-vote went to........LITTLE MIX, which also means that Tulisa's last remaining Group are through to Weekend 7!

It turned-out to be that Misha B and Kitty had ended-up in the bottom-two so they had to perform for the judges' vote in the Final Showdown.

After hard-fought performances from both acts, the judges' had to make their decision on who was to get that 6th-remaining place.

Louis was first-up and remaining loyal to his own-act, he decided to send home........MISHA B.

Tulisa was next-up to reveal her decision and after a while, she decided to send home........KITTY.

It was Kelly's turn to reveal her decision and she maintained her loyalty towards her own-act and decided to send home........KITTY.

Gary, who didn't need to make any-decision for the last 2-weeks, had to make the casting-vote this-time and after a while, he decided to send home........KITTY.

That decision meant that Misha B secured that final-place and that also meant that all 3 of Kelly's acts' were intact.

Also, that also meant that Louis was the first-mentor to lose all his acts as Kitty was the only act remaining in the Over 25s category.

Kitty's exit turned-out to be a dramatic-one as Lady GaGa had stormed-out on-stage on The Xtra Factor to give the eliminated-act a hug.

Missed any of it? You can watch both The X Factor and The Xtra Factor online NOW on the ITV Player @ http://www.itv.com/itvplayer

Good luck to the 6 remaining acts, the eliminated acts, the guest-stars, the presenters and everyone of the X Factor team!
