Rihanna pulls out of The X Factor final

[Locke.]

Only this morning we officially confirmed who would be singing with who at this weekend’s X Factor final – but it’s changed already! And it’s bad news for JLS – they’ll no longer get to sing Umbrella with Rihanna, as she’s pulled out. Instead, they’ll perform with Westlife (Louis Walsh likes to remind us that Westlife exist, doesn’t he?!). But you may remember that Westlife were supposed to be singing with Alexandra – not anymore. Instead, she’s bagged Beyonce! Ms Knowles has been rumoured for a while to be performing on the show, but now it’s official. Eoghan is the only performer unaffected by all this chopping and changing – he’ll be performing with Boyzone, as planned. So, are we all clear on that, until it changes again in, ooh, ten minutes?! And how gutted must JLS be? Not that there’s anything wrong with Westlife, but the idea of them with Rihanna was so much more exciting. We feel a bit sorry for them. Alexandra, on the other hand, must be delighted…

Woop Alex always wanted to meet Beyonce and now she gets to preform with her!

ALEXANDRA FTW!..

[Wildcat!]

Lies, lies, and more lies.

These newspapers are embarassing themselves now. And trying to make it funny doesnt cut it.

Alex defo ftw! Alex and Beyonce will be great together!

Well it's advantage Alex now.................

Egghead's the allround sing and dance man though :banana:

[Wildcat!]

I cant believe anyone would actually buy this tripe. They say they oficially confirmed Rhianna. ANd now they are saying in fact, what the had officially confirmed, was just rumours. And with that history, how can you take seriously anything else that they "Offically confirmed" again?

[xDramatick]

I preferred Alex&Westlife, she'd shine then.
I fear Alexandra&Beyonce are gonna be like Rhydian&Katherine last year, two big voices trying to overtake each other.

[Damaris]

Alex will win now.

Come on egghead :elephant:

[supernoodles!]

shes probably seen what it did to Britney,and with her not being the best of live singers out there maybe thats what changed her mind:joker:Shame though,I was looking forward to it.

[Indierock&roll]

YES!
im happy now .. jls would of definatly won with rihanna! bit unfair still though that eoghan has always had to have boyzone!

[robb]

I remember Leona being cool with Take That......................and last year Leon and Kylie pulled it out of the bag for him over Rydian.
All is not lost for egghead..................:thumbs2:

Alexandra is a dead cert to perform last imo, they'll save Beyoncé until last because shes obviously the biggest scoop.

Louis must have done a buy one get one free offer with Boyzone and Westlife

[rayheartbliss]

well alex will win then...

[b]Westlife are on a break and don't come back till 2009 so that won't work
