X-Factor UK, Live Show 3 - Result

Well this weekend featureed ups and downs, hiccups and great performences.
In the girls catorgory there was a lot of action with Misha B being called a bully and Janet Devlin sticking up for herself against a few reporters.
Unfortunatly we said a farewell to the much liked Sammi Brookes, many would say unfortunatly she wasn't liked enough.
Moving onto X-Factor gossip, it is rumoured that Simon Cowell is raging due to the number of viewings in the UK's X-Factor, Sammi was putting her early exit down to Louis not giving her the right songs.
Tension is running high.
Next week Cher Lloyde returns alongside Nicole Scherzinger. Looks like next week will be filled with fun, outragous costums and extraordinary hiccups.

X factor Live Show 2 - The Result

X-Factor UK, Live Show 2 - Result

Well folks, this weekend saw bundles of nerves, upsets and adreniline.
We saw The Wanted perform along with Superstar Katy Perry.  All of the acts gave heartfelt performances hopeing that it would be enough to keep them in the competion facing the first public vote.
This week the bottom two turned out to be Nu Vibe and Frankie Cocozza singing to keep them in the competion for yet another week.
To manys surprise 3 of the 4 judges voted to send Nu Vibe home. Personally I thought that both of the Acts performances in the 'Bottom Two' were quite poor. X S

Talent Shows - The Basics

The Definition for Talent Shows throughout the world is fairly similar; A Talent Show is when someone stands up in front of people and performs their talents, be that singing dancing, juggling, playing music etc... Usually this is a competition and a prize will be presented along with several judges judging your performance.

There are many Talent Shows taking place throughout the world every day. It is a form of entertainment that brings people together for a period of time.

The most well-known Talent shows that are televised or seen on YouTube are The X-Factor UK, The X-Factor USA, Britain's Got Talent, American Idol and America's Got Talent.  These shows have produced many stars including: Leona Lewis, Shane Ward, Olly Murs, One Direction, Alexandra Burke, Susan Boyle and many more.

The idea behind these Televised shows are to find someone who will take their country by storm and sell records. We are forgetting the money making involved though. The show have huge numbers of watchers whish vote in every week. Once the stars are found they are signed on to the Co- Executive of the Show.


I'm sure all of you that there is a huge controversy about these show. It is rumoured that they are fixed and the public vote is purely a money-making scheme. I will leave you all to make your own conclusions on it.

These are the current X-Factor judges - Gary Barlow of Take That, Kelly Rowland- former Destiny's Child member, Tulisa Contosavolos- N Dubz and Louis Walsh- music manager.

Hope you enjoyed reading
