X Factor

Simon Cowell’s X Factor “nightmare” will continue for at least another week after twins John and Edward survived the latest public vote.
Instead it was Rachel Adedeji who was left in tears after she got the boot in her third sing-off.
Adedeji faced Lloyd Daniels – who was suffering from a sore throat – after they received the fewest public votes.
Judges Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh backed Adedeji while Cheryl Cole voted to save Daniels, leaving Cowell with the deciding vote.
Cowell said Adedeji sang much better than Daniels but he could not ignore her lack of popularity with the public.
He used his vote to create a tie which meant the decision rested solely on viewers’ votes.
Tears rolled down Adedeji’s cheeks when she was told she had received the lowest number and was leaving the show.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported me,” she said.
“It’s been amazing and I got to meet so many lovely people and work with great judges.”
She told her mentor Dannii Minogue: “You’re amazing.”

The contestants rocked out in Saturday’s episode of The X Factor covering songs by bands including U2, Guns ‘N’ Roses and Aerosmith.
First up and a firm favourite with the judges was Joe McElderry.
His performance of Don’t Stop Believing by Journey was praised by Dannii Minogue who said he was “an absolute star” and Louis Walsh who told him he expected to see him in the final.
