And last, but by no means least, it's the most bonkers audition of the series so far. This starts off as a "oh I bet this will be car crash" but his energy is infectious.... It's David Wilder

X Factor Audition Catch Up - Luke Lucas
X Factor Audition Catch Up - Jade Richards
X Factor Audition Catch Up - Craig Colton
The next auditionee is Craig Colton. Now I dont want to sound cruel but this one has a whiff of the Susan Boyle off it - when he walks out, you think it's going to be awful but the voice proves you wrong....

X Factor - "The Next Generation"
Saturday kicked off the new season of the X Factor on ITV with the promo fpcusing on "The Next Generation". Gone are Simon Cowell's un-naturally white teeth, Cheryl Cole and her vacant stare and Team Minogue. And to replace them?
Gary Barlow
"New judge and musical genius, Gary is one of Britain’s most successful singer songwriters and a member of one of the biggest pop groups of all time, Take That. With loads of No.1 hits under his belt – he is perfectly poised to advise The X Factor wannabes on how to be a popstar."
Tulisa Contostavlos
Nicknamed ‘The Female Boss,’ this chart-topping singer/songwriter of urban trio, N-Dubz, brings the swagger ‘factor’ to the show. As a renowned mother hen to the boys in her band, and with 8 top forty singles and three top 20 albums to date, straight-talking Tulisa is super-equipped to keep unruly contestants in check.
Kelly Rowland
This multi-talented ‘Independent Woman’ and beauty is not only a founder member of one of the most successful girl groups of all time, Destiny’s Child, but she’s also a Grammy award winning solo artist, and NOW an X Factor judge. With such a wealth of experience, the international superstar was born to sit in the judge’s chair.
Dermot is back fronting the main ITV1 show and Louis is back on the judging panel too. Is it just me or do Louis' eyes get tighter and his hair darker every series......?
Unfortunately, the douchebags over at ITV had disabled embedding on all of their videos, so you'll need to click here to go to the X Factor youtube page to watch the auditions.

Relive the X Factor Final ... Part Three
To open Sunday nights show, we had a special performance from our remaining finalists and Take That with Never Forget (which was up to 65 in the iTunes chart last night).
Then we got down to business as the Matt, Rebecca and One Direction sang to earn themselves a place in the final two.
First up was Matt and his version of Katy Perry's Firework. You can really hear the strain in Matt's voice but he's giving it his all.
One Direction followed with Natalie Imbruglia's Torn. This was the same track that they had sung at judges houses to earn their place on the live shows.
And last up was Rebecca with Annie Lennox's Sweet Dreams. As much as I thought she was boring, this was a legendary song choice by Ms Cole.
Then, with the votes frozen, we learned who had finished third in the competition....
Come back later for the possible winners singles and the annoucement that we've all been waiting for...

Relive the X Factor Final ... Part Two
The next part of the final was the compulsory celebrity duets. Every year, they wheel out three celebrities and you can almost guess who's going to win from the calibre of who they're singing with. Well this year was completely different - not only did we have four celebrity guests, but they were all major celebrity guests.
First up were Matt and Rhianna with their take on Unfaithful
Next was the turn of Rebecca and her special guest Christina Aguilera. They took on Christina's track Beautiful
One Direction's chances of winning were given a major boost with their guest Robbie Williams. The six piece took on She's The One
And the final guest spot went to Cher and Will I Am
And all of that wrapped up nicely for our first elimination .... but who went home?
Make sure you come back tomorrow morning for the next part of our round up!

Relive the X Factor Final ... Part One
I thought it only fair to post some videos of the X Factor final (as a lot of people who use this site are outside Ireland and the UK). This first post is for the finalists first songs on Saturday night which had no specific theme but were referred to by the judges as a "vote for me" song.
First up is Matt Cardle who opened the final with a performance of Dido's track Here With Me.
Next was Rebecca Ferguson with her rendition of Corinne Bailey Rae's Like A Star
One Direction followed Rebecca with their cover of Elton John's track Your Song
And rounding out the first part of the show was Cher Lloyd and The Clapping Song/Get Your Freak On mash up.
Make sure you come back later for all of the celebrity duets!

X Factor - The Final Results LIVE BLOG
Tonight we crown the winner of the seventh season of The X Factor, but who will it be?
The show opens with our three finalists singing the Take That track Never Forget. One Descended Testicle sound grey, Matt still sounds a bit strained but this doesn't suit Rebecca at all. And here come the boys themselves (my god they were just on Strictly - they're busy tonight!) and they sound fantastic!
And now our compulsory clip package of all of last nights performances..... *yawn*
Our first finalist to take to the stage is Matt Cardle and he's singing Katy Perry's Firework. He's an excellent singer but he's still not recovered from the flu an I hope that doesn't go against him tonight. It's a brilliant performance but who the he'll dressed him? A black shirt and yellow trousers?! Judges all love him and I hope he goes on to win.
The second act to take to the stage are One Direction and their song for survival is Natalie Imbruglia's Torn. The harmonies are all there, but there have been some notable "out of tune" moments from Liam and Zain. Again I question why Zain is given any solo pieces to sing if he's such a weak singer. The judges are fawning over them as usual, but I do have to agree that they have a great future ahead of them.
Our third and final act singing for survival will be Rebecca *yawn* Ferguson and performing Annie Lennox's Sweet Dreams. I've made no secret that I think everything sounds the same where Rebecca is concerned. That said, it was a powerful performance an showed off her vocals perfectly. Judges comments are brilliant but I think Louis might do himself a mischief if he doesn't calm down.
And now a special round up of the audition stages of the competition and all of our favorite losers are live on stage!
VOTE LINES ARE NOW FROZEN!
We will now say goodbye to the third place finalist and find out who will be singing one more time!
The first person safe is MATT CARDLE!
The second act safe is REBECCA FERGUSON
And that means that One Direction have fallen at the final hurdle. They'll still do well from this - I'm sure that Simon already has their album planned!
VOTE LINES HAVE RE-OPENED
Our remaining finalists will bow perform their winners single, but who will secure the win?
Matt is the first performer up and even with his sore throat he sounds fantastic. I like the fact that this year, each finalist gets a different song to sing rather than one sing to suit all of them. He's really put everything into that song, even dropping to the floor at the end. Judges say it's his best performance and Dannii has tears in her eyes. COME ON MATT!
Now Rebecca and her possible winners single. It's a slow track which, even with the mighty X Factor juggernaut behind it, could have real problems in the chart. That aside, it's a flawless vocal from the Liverpudlian starlet and she wins hands down in the style stakes. Judges are saying that this final is too close to call.
Now, let's break the tension with a quick performance from Take That.
VOTE LINES HAVE NOW CLOSED
The results are in! Ooooooh my nerves are gone! We can now reveal that the winner of The X Factor 2010 is MATT CARDLE! I am delighted and will be pre-ordering his single RIGHT NOW!
Well that's it for another year of The X Factor. Make sure you come back next August so we can start it all over again!

X Factor - The Final LIVE BLOG
And now for what will undoubtedly be the most watched show on tv tonight (lowest common denominator anyone?) - it's the X Factor FINAL.
One act will leave the competition tonight!
And to open - a lesson in miming from the final 16 who are "performing" What A Feeling. One word - DIABOLICAL.
Sidenote: Expect plenty of ad breaks tonight - ITV are charging £200k for a 30 second ad.
First up its Matt. Plenty of VT of his visit home and plenty of tears from Matt and his family. His song choice is spot on and suits the toned down performance. One worrying factor is that Matt's voice seems strained... Judges love him and acknowledge that he's still not well but say that it's a strong performance.
UK CALL: 0901 61 61 101
IRL CALL: 1513 711 301
Next up is Rebecca Ferguson. If I'm honest, it's all a bit Rhydian for me in that everything she sings sounds the same. The staging on this is also curious to say the least... Nothing spectacular. Comments are over the top for that and Cheryl is laying it on thick. Bleurgh.
UK CALL: 0901 61 61 102
IRL CALL: 1513 711 302
Sidenote: Whoa, some of those Liverpool girls look ROUGH.
Next are the last remaining group One Descended Testicle. These VT's of their trips home are painful to watch. It's a good vocal and their harmonies have improved over the weeks. One thing I don't understand is why they give Zain solo parts because he has the weakest voice of them all. Funnily enough all of the judges love them (because they're mentored by the man that pays your wages by any chance?).
UK CALL: 0901 61 61 103
IRL CALL: 1513 711 303
Sidenote: Wasn't the final supposed to be coming live from Wembley Arena?
The last finalist to sing is Cher Lloyd. I will admit that I did think her VT would show her being dropped off at a caravan park... I wonder of they're using elaborate staging to cover the frankly shoddy vocal? I dislike the fact that, just because it's the final, the judges seem unable to give negative comments...
UK CALL: 0901 61 61 104
IRL CALL: 1513 711 304
Now it's on to our celebrity duets! First up its the lovely Matt Cardle and he's singing with Rhianna! It's showing on Matt's face now that his voice problems are starting to get him. It's a sensational duet and they really looked comfortable singing together.
UK CALL: 0901 61 61 101
IRL CALL: 1513 711 301
Our next duet is Rebecca Ferguson and she's going to be singing with Christina Aguilera. It's a good song choice - they'll be doing Beautiful. This may be the first celebrity duet in X Factor history where the contestant outshines the guest....
UK CALL: 0901 61 61 102

Sidenote: Whoa, Christina Aguilera got *ahem* big.
Our third duet comes from One Descended Testicle and their special guest Robbie Williams. It's been a busy night for Robbie - he was live on strictly just before the X Factor started. It pains me to say this, but that duet gave me goosebumps. One Direction have just earned their place in the final.

Sidenote: Do any of the contestants actually know what inspiration means?
Our final duet comes from Cher Lloyd and Mr Smooth - Will I Am. Cher is the only finalist that gets to perform two songs - Where Is The Love followed by I Gotta Feelin. Her vocal was very weak and, dare I say it, out of tune in places. With any luck, we will be saying goodbye to Cher in a couple of minutes....

One act will leave the competition tonight!
And to open - a lesson in miming from the final 16 who are "performing" What A Feeling. One word - DIABOLICAL.
Sidenote: Expect plenty of ad breaks tonight - ITV are charging £200k for a 30 second ad.
First up its Matt. Plenty of VT of his visit home and plenty of tears from Matt and his family. His song choice is spot on and suits the toned down performance. One worrying factor is that Matt's voice seems strained... Judges love him and acknowledge that he's still not well but say that it's a strong performance.

Next up is Rebecca Ferguson. If I'm honest, it's all a bit Rhydian for me in that everything she sings sounds the same. The staging on this is also curious to say the least... Nothing spectacular. Comments are over the top for that and Cheryl is laying it on thick. Bleurgh.

Sidenote: Whoa, some of those Liverpool girls look ROUGH.
Next are the last remaining group One Descended Testicle. These VT's of their trips home are painful to watch. It's a good vocal and their harmonies have improved over the weeks. One thing I don't understand is why they give Zain solo parts because he has the weakest voice of them all. Funnily enough all of the judges love them (because they're mentored by the man that pays your wages by any chance?).

Sidenote: Wasn't the final supposed to be coming live from Wembley Arena?
The last finalist to sing is Cher Lloyd. I will admit that I did think her VT would show her being dropped off at a caravan park... I wonder of they're using elaborate staging to cover the frankly shoddy vocal? I dislike the fact that, just because it's the final, the judges seem unable to give negative comments...

Now it's on to our celebrity duets! First up its the lovely Matt Cardle and he's singing with Rhianna! It's showing on Matt's face now that his voice problems are starting to get him. It's a sensational duet and they really looked comfortable singing together.

Our next duet is Rebecca Ferguson and she's going to be singing with Christina Aguilera. It's a good song choice - they'll be doing Beautiful. This may be the first celebrity duet in X Factor history where the contestant outshines the guest....

X Factor - Semi Final Catch-Up
We're not going to beat around the bush on this one - let's get straight into the controversial sing-off from Sunday night's results show. It's the first time in the history of thr X Factor that a sing-off has been used to determine who will particiapte in the final of the show and many deemed it to be a ploy to keep Cher Lloyd on the show over Mary Byrne. The argument on that one is continuing at the moment.
But let's take a look at the two "save me" songs and see if the right decision was made... First up it was Mary Byrne who sang This Is A Mans World
Next we check out Cher Lloyd whomurdered sang the Britnet Spears song Everytime
And then its on to the judges decision
