Jedward will take the floor of The X Factor with Wham! – aka George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley – hit songs.
The 1980s medley, which is expected to include I’m Your Man or Wham Rap!, was noted by The Daily Mail to have the potential to “disguise their off-key voices”.
Wham Rap!, the paper claimed, was the perfect track for John and Edward Grimes, who prefer rapping over singing. Leather-jacketed Wham! sent it to number 18 on the charts in 1983.
George Michael is tipped to make a surprise appearance at the Saturday night show, while Mariah Carey and Susan Boyle will perform on Sunday night. Ratings should soar.
Jedward this week drew controversy over an allegation it was rigged by muted sound that was ordered by the show’s bosses and its own revelations of a bullying past at a boarding school in Ireland.
An official Susan Boyle tour of her hometown may be in the pipeline.
A councillor in Blackburn has said they are thinking about organising tours of the town.
Councillor Martyn Day said: “We have noticed there is a huge volume of interest in Blackburn, in Susan Boyle and the surrounding areas. Without a doubt there certainly are people coming to the area.”
He added: “If there’s a genuine demand, which there appears to be, perhaps we have to look at that. Susan Boyle has put Blackburn on the global map.”
The 47-year-old singer rose to fame on the TV show Britain’s Got Talent.
Susan Boyle can wake up with a happy face and celebrate as the singer has the most anticipated album in the world. The release date for her album ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ was recently announced and she is putting other huge names to shame by being the number 1 album on Amazon.com. The Britain’s Got Talent star beat out the likes of comeback diva Whitney Houston and the Beatles’ upcoming re-mastered ‘Abbey Road’. Good job Susan! I can’t believe she beat out those two names! That’s just amazing! Her debut album will be released on November 24th. I for one will be lining up to buy her album.
Susan Boyle’s new album has reached number one before it has even been released.
The Britain’s Got Talent star’s new album has topped the Amazon pre-sales charts.
Thousands of people have pre-ordered a copy of the singer’s debut album, I Dreamed A Dream.
One fan said: “I really can’t wait for this. I love Susan’s voice and the snippets we have heard about what might be on the album are fascinating. We are going to be in for such a treat.”
Harper’s Bazaar made over Susan Boyle for their upcoming September issue and they did a mighty fine job cleaning up the Britain’s Got Talent runner up. The singer was photographed wearing the likes of Michael Kors, J. Crew and Giuseppe Zanotti and made the normally homely Susan virtually unrecognizable. Susan talked about makeovers saying “Maybe I’ll consider a makeover later on. For now I’m happy the way I am — short and plump. I would not go in for Botox or anything like that. I’m content with the way I look. What’s wrong with looking like Susan Boyle? What’s the matter with that?” Nothing at all!
Simon Cowell reportedly left a lapdancing club with red lipstick across his face.
The recently-single American Idol judge was spotted leaving Stringfellows, which has a strict rule that clients can look but not touch.
Cowell was spotted out with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest. A private chauffeur picked them up at 3:30am and took them back to Cowell’s posh London home.
Cowell refused to confirm he had kissed any of the girls and reportedly said: “It’s just a rash.”
Meanwhile, it was recently reportedly that Cowell has put Britain’s Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle up in a converted convent in London while she performs on tour.
The Britain’s Got Talent contestant who finished on second place last week and had an anxiety attack because of it has been released from the London clinic she was admitted in Sunday. Her brother, Gerry Boyle, was the source of this news. He also mentioned that his sister now seems “a lot more like herself”. Apparently that old self was a quiet church assistant for that is what Susan Boyle was doing before becoming famous worldwide due to her participation on the so-called talent show hosted by that criticizing trickster, Simon Cowell. And if Diversity hadn’t won, Susan Boyle’s plans for world domination would have probably succeeded… if it wasn’t for those pesky kids.
One of the youngest competitors on this year’s Britain’s Got Talent, Hollie Steel, is definitely not made of steel. The aspiring singer made it all the way to the semi-finals but she had a breakdown in the middle of it. During the live show on Friday, Hollie’s nerves got the best of her and she forgot her lyrics, with her performance crumbling shortly after. Hollie actually began crying on stage. The little girl begged to start over again and was told that she couldn’t. However, show creator and judge Simon Cowell vetoed his producers and let Hollie perform again later on in the broadcast. I don’t think that’s fair. The girl may be 10 but there are rules you know?
‘Britain’s Got Talent’ sensation Susan Boyle has been tearing up the internet with her unbelievable performance of ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ from ‘Les Miserables’. The unassuming 47-year old woman completely surprised the judges once she belted out her enormous and angelic voice. It’s not an easy thing to surprise those judges considering that Simon Cowell is on that panel. Susan went on to say that she’s never been kissed, never been married and lives with her cat. Her answers were initially met with sneers but she wowed the crowd once she started singing. She is utterly amazing. I hope she wins that contest.
