The X Factor

The X Factor

x factor - will singing with a star help them win?

Posted: 12 Dec 2007 01:03 AM CST

During the x factor  grand finale, stars will sing with the winners!

This weeks x factor live show will have the finalists singing three songs each. That could be tedious and hard to listen without help. Thats why they brought the special guests of familiar singers. This week the x factor finalist same difference  will have the help of West Ender Jason Donovan. Viva La Diva star and soprano Katherine Jenkins will duet with Rhydian Roberts, while Kylie Minogue will sing with Leon Jackson.

Is it true that kylie minogue is spreading herself thin and appearing on strictly come dancing as well? Can’t she show any loyalty to her sister dannii minogue, by only doing 1 show?

We already know what kind of music rhydian will be singing, and the style same difference will do. Do you think leon will stray from a frank sinatra style of standards? I think no way.

So without knowing the actual songs, it really does not matter. What does matter is the showmanship, jaw dropping spectacular stage show and keeping true to their formula that has gotten the finalists rhydian, leon and same difference this far.

What would have really been interesting is to have had niki come back to sing with one of the guys. Her voice is as good as any singer in the charts, and far better than most.

If this is the week where all the finalists return for a guest appearance, I hope we see Icaro.

Your comments are most welcome.

x factor - rhydian fans are smarter than most

Posted: 12 Dec 2007 12:45 AM CST

After reviewing the statistics for the x factor fan site, I have come to the conclusion that rhydian roberts fans are more intelligent, computer savvy, and information hungry.

No other finalist has consistently caused the amount of interest on the internet that rhydian has caused. Yes its true that people have searched for 16 year old phoebe brown and her under age seX tape, but that had nothing to do with hope, or the x factor live show performances.

Because of this fact, I wanted to apologize to all of rhydian’s fans by not placing more of his photo’s or video’s on the x factor fan site.

I always thought my friends at the rhydian factor did a much better job of covering rhydian news than myself. Yes we have a different view point and are sometimes more critical, or we focus on his wardrobe and fashion statements much deeper, but since we are all fans, and look out for each other.

The only thing I cannot figure out is if children are more computer savvy than adults, then why haven’t more children visited my web site? I know this, because I don’t have any traffic for same difference fans. I also know, that children are the ones voting for same difference.

What kind of adult is both computer savvy and a rhydian fan? If I could answer that question I would be a billionaire.

I welcome your comments.

x factor - did rhydian wear oswald boateng again? what did all the finalists wear?

Posted: 11 Dec 2007 08:14 AM CST

For the past couple of weeks on the x factor , rhydian has worn oswald boateng suits. It should not be a suprise if he wore another suit by oswald boateng. Its very hard to choose another designer once mr. boateng gives you the star treatment.

I worked with oswald when he dressed djimon hounsou, and I know what star treatment feels like. Also when he dressed the twins at the premiere of the second matrix movie.

It seems like rhydian, has many choices for custom tailored suits, so we will be waiting for what he actually wore, and I will deliver to you the answers immediately when we find out.

Another important thing to point out is that the finalists are also dressed for their now weekly public appearances. While we have not been given word as to what they wear outside of the x factor live show, we would really like to know. In addition, the producers have not shared with us what the judges are wearing.

We implore the producers of the x factor to find out and tell us what the judges simon cowell, dannii minogue, sharon osbourne and louis walsh are wearing on each x factor live show. (also, please don’t leave out the jewelry)

Niki
When Niki sang Songbird she wore…

Waistcoat                                                         Wallis
Black chiffon shirt                                           Wallis
Earrings                                                            Adele Marie
Black wide leg trousers                                Wallis
Shoes                                                               TBC
Niki, in my opinion should have been wearing better designers another week, but will not have the oppurtunity. There was a rumour tht all the finalists were coming back this week, so maybe niki will get another chance to wear something really glamourous and silly expensive.

When Niki sang One Moment in Time she wore…
Cream, gown with jewelled waistband     Xterity London
Earrings                                                           TBC
Silver shoes                                                    Guess
It seems like the stylists was looking at the bottom of the discount barrel  for what he dressed niki in. They should have gone all out, but came up way short.

Same Difference
When Same Difference sang Chain Reaction they wore….

Sarah
Gold, beaded ‘flapper’ dress                      Roberto Cavalli at H&M
Earrings                                                         TBC
Gold glitter kitten heels                                Faith
Sean
Black military jacket                                      Stylists own
White jeans                                                    Zara Man
Black patent shoes                                       Topman

While sean continues to show he does not care what they dress him in, or how cheaply they put together his outfits and wardrobe, sarah on the other hand seems to know better. Choosing anything by Betsy Johnson, like she has done the past few weeks and now going with Roberto Cavalli, shows she really knows how to get the young audience interested in her not by her vocals but by her choice in style and colours.  Roberto Cavalli seems to only make clothes that steal the attention of everyone in the studio, as well as everyone at home as well.

Mixing it up with H&M, is a great disguise for something that only looks expensive. This technique should be copied at home by young girls. It might not be possible to find a copy of a roberto cavalli dress at H&M, but you could try?

When same difference sang Never had a Dream Come True they wore…
Sarah
Cream wool coat with fur trim                     Fauxuk.com
Earrings                                                          TBC
Nude Mary Jane shoes                                Bertie
Sean
Khaki jacket                                                   Diesel
Cream hooded top                                       American Apparel
Cream t-shirt                                                 Topman
Cream cords                                                 Benneton
Brown boots                                                  River Island
As stated above, you could learn much about fashion, if you copy sean and sarah. exentuate your positive attributes and disguise what you lack in.
Leon 
When Leon delivered How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You he wore

Black shirt with shoulder strap                   Alexander McQueen
Black leather belt with eyelets                    Zara Man
Black jeans with shine                                Sweaty Jeans
Black plimsoles                                            Topman

Dancers black beaded dresses                River Island

When Leon sang The Very Thought Of You he wore …

Black velvet three piece suit                        Benetton
White shirt with detachable collar              Topman
Black shoes                                                   Topman
Leon’s use of Alexander McQueen, is really triumphant for the young singer. If he has gotten the interest in Alexander McQueen to dress him, then the sky is the limit as to what he can get in the future. He is in an exclusive list of only the top people in the world. If this were a fashion contest of designer labels, I would say leon might have won. Lets not forget oswald boateng backing rhydian though.

Rhydian
When Rhydian - sang Bridge Over Troubled Water  he wore…

Navy metallic jacket                                       Alexander McQueen
Navy blue tonic shirt                                      Dolce and Gabanna
Black jeans                                                    TBC
Black shoes                                                   Gucci

Because Alexander McQueen has dressed two finalists, it looks more like a product placement by the designer. Although because their are only a few finalists left, the designer still maintains exclusivity on who they dress.

As far as Dolce and Gabanna, my only problem with them is that people at home cannot copy the look as easily because Dolce and Gabanna don’t fit everyone. You must have a very thin frame to get into their clothes.
