Week 1 eliminees to battle it out to replace Frankie (Phone vote now open)

[Callum]

Four former X Factor contestants have been given the opportunity to win back a place on the show.

One of James Michael, Amelia Lily, 2 Shoes or Jonjo Kerr, who were all eliminated by the judges in the first week of the live shows, will replace axed singer Frankie Cocozza on Saturday's show.

The public will now have to vote for James, Amelia, 2 Shoes and Jonjo for the first time. Whoever receives the most votes will win their place back in the competition from this weekend.


An X Factor spokesperson said in a statement: "The four acts have never been in a public vote so, with Frankie leaving the competition, this is an opportunity for the public to decide who comes back to the show."

Voting details will be confirmed tomorrow (Thursday, November 10).

The X Factor's returning contestant will be revealed this Saturday at 8.15pm on ITV1.

Amelia's returning then :amazed:

[MusicXian]

Basically will be Amelia.

[Tom]

Oh good. If it was general public performance based vote then James would return but only saddos like us will know about this and Amelia will be back :amazed:

Its not really fair on the others though

[michael21]

:suspect:

[MusicXian]

Amelia back then. Think this should have been any contestant voted out not just those 4.

[Lewis.]

Yes!!!!

It's ok as I don't mind if Amelia wins over Janet :) but stupid but it's showbiz.

[Callum]

Already posted

[Lewis.]

I'm so ecstatic right now! Amelia for the win!!

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Already posted

you both posted it in the same minute :nono:

[Callum]

you both posted it in the same minute :nono:

When I posted mine it was the only thread on the subject.

[Adamw92]

I'm so happy, if Amelia wins this vote then I will be so happy, she was eliminated without ever getting a proper chance!!

[Tom4784]

She'll need a very good performance on Saturday then I think otherwise she'll be right back out the door again since everyone has hteir established fanbases now.

[Lewis.]

So happy now!

[MusicXian]

Callum's was first but I'd already probably been in process of creating thread. I have better thread title though.

Pointless - whoever wins it (Amelia) will be out within 2 weeks; and it's unfair on the contestants who have already been put out, and on those who are left in, because Amelia will presumably get a huge surge of votes to stay that she won't get the following week.

[Black Dagger]

One of my original live show favourites returning then... Amelia/James.

Probably Amelia, the twist is so **** and unfair though.

[connie]

this is so wrong they would been there in the first place if it was meet to be, the last person voted off should have been given there place back and that was Johnny he must be feeling pig sick as it was the people that voted. I know the can change things around when they think fit but not at our expence because it us thats paying for these votes.

[Saph]

This is stupid :/ They should have just either brought back Johnny or carried on with 6. Bringing an act back that was eliminated in the first week completely bends the rules backwards and round the ****ing roundabout!

Spoilt daddys girl Amelia better not come back :nono: Hopefully its 2 shoes..

[Jack_]

Fantastic news. I so hope Amelia wins the vote and then she can at last return seeing as she should have never left in the first place.

If that bore James wins, ****. God help us all.

[reece(:]

I hope Amelia wins, I love her and her style :love:

James and Jonjo we don't need as we already have dull craig
2 shoes are just a novelty act so no thanks to them either

[reece(:]

[Brother Leon]

So Amelia has a bye to the top 6 lol

[Locke.]

Great news.

Hopefully this is just an online vote on the x factor site and not a phone vote.

[GypsyGoth]

I like this idea.

[King Gizzard]

Think they should of left it as it is, they didn't make the grade the first time, acts have been eliminated since them, what's the point/ how is it fair?

[Doogle]

2 shoes plz (jk but it'd be nice to be back in the sweepstake competition)

Amelia :love:

[Mystic Mock]

Hopefully Amelia will return with a last on slot to give her a chance of survival.

[dannyboy]

I'm glad it's only between acts who never faced a public vote. This lot were rejected by their mentors in the crappest twist anyway. And if Amelia or whoever gets through isn't up to standard, then they'll just go again on sunday. If not, it's good that they're getting another chance. Johnny, the Risk and all that were eliminated the usual way, so tough cookies that they're not in the running, I say! Hope Amelia is back, and think she will be. James and 2 shoes have an outside chance, Jonjo no way I'm afraid!

[MeMyselfAndI]

YESSSS! I have someone to support since Sophies gone

[Z]

Actually can't get over how ridiculous this is - whoever wins this will be plugged to **** on the live show so that they avoid the bottom two, and then they'll be out the following week - making it unfair on whoever goes out before they do and making it unfair on everyone who has been eliminated to date. I'm starting to wonder if Frankie was only taking whatever the producers are on that's helped them come up with all these silly ideas this year.

[Mystic Mock]

Frankie has been acting all the way through this show as the little prick looked uncomfortable being a so called rocker lol.

[lilytulips]

:hello:I rather see johnny back it was exciting to see him every week getting better and better, I do not necessary mean him to win but he was good and very entertaining.

[Mystic Mock]

Welcome to the forum Lilytulips.

I would much prefer this idea than Kitty facing Johnny again.

[Marc]

oooh.. well Amelia is back then.

-holds out for 2Shoes- :joker:

[Marc]

Amelia 5th favourite to win already.

Not even back in yet :laugh:

[Maia]

Still desperate to keep viewers I see.

Amelia will definitely be back.

[StraightEdge695]

really hope amelia comes back she shouldent of even been eliminated week 1 anyway,,,

[Vicky.]

This is so unfair on the others.

Whoever goes back in will be straight on the tour, when they might have been voted out beforehand if they ad been in the comp to start with :rolleyes:

They have basically been fast tracked to halfway through the show.

[Marc]

They may as well just give Amelia the spot and save everybody the effort.

I agree with Vicky, it's unfair that they are now on tour

[Jordan.]

Amazing!!!!

Kelly best not get to mentor Amelia though :idc:

[Adamw92]

They held a poll on This Morning then revealed the results at the end, Amelia had over 50% to return! :amazed:

[Callum]

A four-way phone vote for the act to replace Frankie Cocozza on The X Factor will open this afternoon (November 10).

At a London press conference, it was confirmed that the poll between Amelia Lily, Jonjo Kerr, James Michael and 2 Shoes will open at 4pm today and close during Saturday's live show.

22p from each phone vote will be donated to Help For Heroes, which works to provide better facilities for wounded British servicemen and women.

Head judge Gary Barlow said: "I don't think any of us here are guilt-free with Frankie... I'm always on the phone. I just hope he's okay.

"I can't follow Frankie around all week... we've all encouraged Frankie to be bad... I do feel sorry."

Cocozza was axed from the show on Tuesday amid rumours that he had bragged about taking cocaine.

Barlow added: "Frankie was silly. But I'm a parent. He's got to live with this forever, so I feel guilty about that."

Tulisa Contostavlos defended Barlow, explaining that Cocozza's mentor was "not a babysitter".

During the conference, Barlow explained that legal reasons prevent the panel from revealing which 'golden rule' Cocozza had broken, while Walsh explained that it was a "lack of professionalism".

Walsh, who had frequently been critical of Cocozza's live show performances, added: "It's a pity. I loved Frankie's first audition."

Judge Kelly Rowland, who eliminated Lily in week one, said: "It's really good that these acts get a second go... we have bonded with these acts."

Of the suggestion that the wildcards have an "unfair" advantage over the acts already in the competition, Rowland added: "Everyone has to come out swinging. It should bring everyone up a notch."

If anything its unfair on the contestant that returns.
They haven't had the chance to keep gaining fans & will have lost fans. Also the contestant hasn't had the experience or anything.

Its more unfair on the risk(and those who have recently left) than anyone.

They narrowly missed out on the tour. And now someone who was kicked out before them is guaranteed a place :bored:

Well theese contestants weren't voted by the public. The public can't complain they didn't lose their money, The Risk were voted out fairly. Also Amelia had a great chance of winning and it's unfair she was voted out by one persons opinion, when she could of stayed and built up her fanbase and won. Now she returns with only half of her fanbase, & Will most likely come 6th.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Anyway, why are you complaining, Atleast someone with talent is going to replace Frankie, It's better her (Or James) than someone who can't sing.

[Strictly Jake]

yeah thats a good point would rather watch amelia then frankie on saturday so its not too bad if she comes back. Would rather have her on tour then frankie. I just hope johnny and the risk get put on the tour too

[Mystic Mock]

Well Johnny is techincally 9th now so he will make the tour like Aiden did last year,but The Risk wont unless the producers change there minds.

[MusicXian]

They have addeda new option to the voting poll

None of the above - 09016161305

[Strictly Jake]

yeah but if they are going to have nine on the tour then the risk can make it as frankie wont make it on the tour now. Amelia will. I hope johnny and the risk are on tour anyway
