Anyone got any good group suggestions?
Yeah there’s no way the Leona’s or Alexandra’s of this world will do this - maybe a guest performance on the results show. That said, your more realistic line up is still decent and I’d totally watch that.Who I want to see :
Leona Lewis
Alexandra Burke
Diana Vickers
Rebecca Ferguson
Ella Henderson
Tamera Foster
Cher Lloyd
Amelia Lily
Fleur East
Louisa Johnson
Who we’ll probably get :
Ruth Lorenzo
Saara Alto
Lucy Jones
Rachel Adedeji
Janet Devlin
Misha B
Hannah Barrett
Lola Saunders
Lauren Murray
Stacey Solomon
Grace Davies
Holly Tandy
Joe McElderry
Matt Cardle
Marcus Collins

News broke late last night that Simon Cowell has halted production on this year's edition of X Factor because he's had the extremely fresh idea of giving his ailing franchise a "dramatic overhaul". The usual tabloid suspects are already spinning the Syco line that this is all definitely Simon's idea, but the actual story is a little different.
Network bosses at ITV have been wanting to pull X Factor after last year's ratings massacre but are finding it hard to wriggle out of the contract. Not least because Cowell has a hostage in the form of Britain's Got Talent, a show that ITV can't afford to lose.
ITV tried to offer him a bigger, more prestigious deal for BGT earlier this week if he'd only do the decent thing and stick the bullet in X Factor, but he's not budging – and he's got contract law on his side.
So now we all have to suffer the consequences as he improvises his Plan B.
Curious how Cowell's most loyal lapdogs are now casually reporting that Syco's contract with ITV runs to the end of this year – when as recently as November they were insisting that X Factor wasn't in crisis and was under contract to run until 2022.
