DAYS LEFT FOR RELEASE OF X FACTOR 2011 FINALISTS' CHARITY SINGLE 'WISHING ON A STAR': Only 18 days to go!
DAYS LEFT FOR 6TH X FACTOR LIVE SHOW: Only 2 days to go!
DAYS LEFT FOR 6TH X FACTOR LIVE RESULTS' SHOW: Only 3 days to go!
There's been a lot of-action this-week when it comes to The X Factor!
In the space of a few-days, X Factor journeys came to an end for The Risk and Johnny on the ITV show and despite receiving enough-votes to stay in the competition, Frankie also left but this-time, it was down to breaking-rules.
So the competition was down to 6 acts but now, it will be back to 7 acts, with Weekend 6 only 2 days away and also, it's Queen vs. Lady GaGa Week as well!
The first-week of the LIVE shows saw James Michael, Amelia Lily, 2 Shoes and Jonjo Kerr leave the show and also, it was the week with NO public vote!
Now 1 of those 4 acts will become the 7th act, which also means that one of them will be given a lifeline and also, they'll be back in the race for that £1 million recording-contract.
However, the decision on which 1 of those 4 acts and becomes the 7th-act returning to The X Factor, is all-down to YOU!
These are the numbers you need to call!
To vote for James Michael (Team Gary) to return,
call 0901 616 1303
To vote for Amelia Lily (Team Kelly) to return,
call 0901 616 1302
To vote for 2 Shoes (Team Tulisa) to return,
call 0901 616 1301
To vote for Jonjo Kerr (Team Louis) to return,
call 0901 616 1304
One of these 4 acts will become the 7th-act and will be back in the competition. More details are on the link below.

Good luck to the 4 acts and the remaining acts, the judges/mentors, the presenters and everyone of the X Factor team!
DAYS LEFT FOR RELEASE OF X FACTOR 2011 FINALISTS' CHARITY SINGLE 'WISHING ON A STAR': Only 20 days to go!
DAYS LEFT FOR 6TH X FACTOR LIVE SHOW: Only 4 days to go!
DAYS LEFT FOR 6TH X FACTOR LIVE RESULTS' SHOW: Only 5 days to go!
There has been some shocks on this-year's X Factor and it looks like there is more of them because there has been another today.
Weekend 5 saw 2 acts leave the show but another act has also left despite having received-enough votes to go-through to Weekend 6, which is only 4 days away.
Frankie Cocozza, who was one of Gary Barlow's acts, has left The X Factor after breaking competition rules and will not take-further part in the series.
A statement from Frankie said: 'I’d like to apologise to Gary, my fellow contestants and everyone who has voted for me, but, as of today, I will no longer be in The X Factor. My life during the show has gone out of control and my behaviour off stage has over-stepped the rules of the competition. I no longer deserve my place in the show, so I am therefore leaving. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me.'
This now means that Gary is down to only 2 acts' in his category and it also means that only 6 acts are remaining at this-time in the race for that £1 million recording-contract.
A statement from an X Factor spokesperson said: 'Frankie is leaving the show today after breaking competition rules. He is going to take some time out before continuing his career as a singer. We wish him all the best for his future.'
Also, there is an announcement expected tomorrow building-up to Weekend 6.
Wonder what that will be but it is definitely something to keep an-eye out for.

DAYS LEFT FOR RELEASE OF X FACTOR 2011 FINALISTS' CHARITY SINGLE 'WISHING ON A STAR': Only 21 days to go!
DAYS LEFT FOR 6TH X FACTOR LIVE SHOW: Only 5 days to go!
DAYS LEFT FOR 6TH X FACTOR LIVE RESULTS' SHOW: Only 6 days to go!
A Floorfillers' Week definitey filled to match it's name for Weekend 5!
Saturday-night was all-about the performances for the 9 acts, as they performed on that X Factor stage in a bid to remain in the competition!
Whilst on Sunday-night, it was all-about the results as they were to discover whether they secured their place for Weekend 6!
After performances from Florence & The Machine and our 2008 runners-up JLS, it was time to reveal those all-important results.
The first-act who made it-through to Weekend 6 was..........LITTLE MIX!
The second-act who also made it-through was..........MARCUS!
Another act who secured a place to Weekend 6 was..........MISHA B!
The fourth-act booking a place for Weekend 6 was..........CRAIG!
The fifth-act making-it through was..........FRANKIE, which also meant that all 3 of Gary's acts' had made it-through to the next-round!
With 4 acts left on that-stage, only 1 more place from the public-vote was up-for-grabs and the act who secured that place was..........JANET, which also meant that both of Kelly's acts' had secured their places into Weekend 6!
That also meant something else too, as The Risk, Kitty and Johnny were the 3 acts who received the fewest of public-votes, which meant that they were in the bottom-three.
Two acts had to perform in the Final Showdown whilst the one act who received even fewer-votes had to be eliminated from the competition!
The act that had received fewer-votes and were immediately out of the competition were..........THE RISK.
It turned-out to be a shock for everyone, which also meant that Tulisa had only one act remaining in her category.
So the Final Showdown was between Kitty and Johnny and only 1 place was left but the decision who got that place was down to the judges, who had made that decision after both acts from the Over 25s category had performed.
Louis was first to decide and for the second-time this-year, he had to eliminate 1 of his own-acts but after a while, he decided to send-home..........JOHNNY.
Tulisa was next-up and the N-Dubz star had decided to send-home..........JOHNNY.
Kelly was next-up to decide and after taking some-time, she decided to send-home..........JOHNNY.
So it was 3 votes to send Johnny out of the competition, which meant that it was Kitty who made it-through to Weekend 6. Gary did not-need to decide but he did reveal that he would have sent Johnny out.

Good luck to the 7 remaining acts, the eliminated acts, the judges/mentors, the guest-stars, the presenters and everyone of the X Factor team!

DAYS LEFT FOR 5TH X FACTOR LIVE SHOW: Only 5 days to go!
DAYS LEFT FOR 5TH X FACTOR LIVE RESULTS' SHOW: Only 6 days to go!
A Halloween theme was set for Weekend 4 of The X Factor, as the 10 acts performed on that live stage on a Saturday-night in their bid to remain in the race for that £1 million recording-contract!
Saturday-night was all-about the performances but Sunday-night was all-about the results!
After seeing former contestant Cher Lloyd performing her new single 'With Ur Love' and X Factor USA judge Nicole Scherzinger performing 'Try With Me,' it was time to reveal those all-important results, discovering the 8 acts who booked their place for Weekend 5 and which 2 acts had sadly ended-up in the bottom-two.
The first act through to Weekend 5 was..........KITTY.
The second-act making-it through to next-week's show were..........THE RISK.
The third-act who had made it-through was..........CRAIG.
Another act booking their place for Weekend 5 were..........LITTLE MIX, which also meant that both of Tulisa's Groups' were safely through to next-week's show.
The fifth-act who progressed to Weekend 5 was..........MARCUS.
The sixth-act going-through to next-week's show was..........JOHNNY, meaning that both of Louis' Over 25s had made it-through.
The seventh-act who made it-through to Weekend 5 was..........JANET.
So only 3 acts were left on that stage with Misha B, Frankie and Sophie and only 1 place from the public-vote was up-for-grabs.
That last and final place from was scooped by..........FRANKIE.
So the Final Showdown was between Misha B and Sophie as they received the fewest-votes in the public-vote, which also meant that both contestants had to compete with each-other for the judges' vote.
After their last-ditch performances' in-front of the judges, it was Decision Time for them!
Louis was first-up to decide and the act he decided to send home was..........SOPHIE.
Tulisa was next-up to decide and after a while, the N-Dubz star had decided to send-home..........SOPHIE.
Alexandra Burke, who stood-in for Kelly this-week, did not need to vote as the ex-Destiny's Child star spoke on the phone from Los Angeles, meaning that Kelly herself had to send one of her own-acts out of the competition.
After quite some-time, Kelly had decided to send-home..........SOPHIE.
So it was 3 votes to send Sophie home, which also meant that Gary did not-need to take a decision but was asked who he would have sent-home and he also said that he was to send home Sophie.
That last and final 9th-place went to Misha B, who makes-it through to next-week's show!
