Tomorrow starts chair challenge! looks like X Factor is pulling out all the stops!

Simon has invited a special guest to the X Factor Chair Challenge this year! It is hope that this will increase the pressure for the contestants and make them raise their game!

The special guest will provide a mentoring session for each of the categories and will also give their own take on each of the chair challenge performances. However the mentor will have the final decision .

The contestants have been told it will be CEO and Chairman of Sony Music UK Jason Iley

TBH im very excited for this, as i believe this guest will offer much more than what artists would ever. This guy signs people for a living and both him and simon know, he credibility of the sony music label will hang in the balance

Also, will Over Atlantic be allowed the instruments (drums etc) on The X Factor - I thought it was more voice oriented?

I went to watch the Xfactor bootcamp Friday I really enjoyed it a lot of really good talent this year this was also the second round of bootcamp the first was apparently a group round which didn't go well here our the performances i saw I'm not very good with names

John:Sign sealed delivered: Stevie fan he started off doing an acoustic version of the song with his guitar. Right from the get go the audience were enjoying him. Until Simon had ago at him saying he sounded like a cover artest so he went acapella crowed loved him I hope this guy makes the lives.through to six chairs

ScotlandRocks:Shout by lulu:Trio two sons and a dad: the Scotland rocks were wearing Scottish kilts mixed response from the audience. The judges hated it and they didn't go through.

Male:24:Halo:Tattooed guy sang good but forgot his words near the end he had a very husky rocky Voice with the confidence we could be looking at a stronger contender :audience was supportive:Through to six chairs.

Rak-Su:Original song girl next door:A 4piece Boyband all from Watford they had amazing dance moves. The singing voices were good the song had a lot of rapping the audience were going crazy for them. All the judges were impressed but Simon said they should work on their vocals a bit and he said they had a amazing first audition. potentially could be in the lives:they went through:

Old male:71:former bus driver :hold on I'm coming by sam and Dave:bubbly old man he wanted to dedicate his performance to Dermot :through to six chairs.

Girl called Hayley :Sang signs of times by Harry styles:it was her 16th birthday and the whole audience sang happy birthday to her and dermot came out with a cake. The judges were impressed Simon said he didn't notice her until bootcamp . He also joked with her saying holly or haily happy birthday your going home then said he was joking she mixed between Luisa Johnson and Emily Middlemas she's a huge contender for the lives :through to six chairs

Two Brothers:Sang Beggin by madcon and Sing by ed Sheeran:The audience liked them the brothers first sang beggin but Simon wasnt keen on that song so they sang another song which was sing by ed Sheeran.The judges said that they have been consistant until that performace Nicole says there is a place for them in her heart but she was let down with their performace They are deadcert for the lives in my opinion potentially the new one direction 1 brother sang the other was rapping and playing the acoustic guitar they reminded me of shawn mendez meets ed sheeran:Through to six chair.

Female:18:I love rock and roll:sounded very screechy Simon said chose wrong song:didn't make it to six chairs

Billy i think his name was :Original song:Billy was very bubbly and funny he said the song was inspired by eastenders mick and Linda. He said I wanted to write a love song and I was watching eastenders and I saw mick and Lindas relationship and I wanted a relationship just like that Billy had a great quirky voice he also danced a bit.The audience were behind him a billion percent and were on their feet he also produced the song the judges were impressed Nicole said he has the moves like jagger from what I saw compared to the others the one to beat and I can see this guy in the finals :Through to six chairs

Fae:MAster piece by Jessie j:girlband wore white jeans and different coloured jumpers looked like skittles.Simon then asked them who chose the choreography the group said their teacher chose the choreography Simon then said they should sack their teacher the audience wasn't feeling them:Through to six chairs by the skin of their teeth.

Skippy I think his name was:27:Runnin by Beyoncé:The guy was a sob story single father with 1 year old daughter.Sharon asked him why does he want to be in the competition and what does it mean to him he was saying Xfactor is all he has because he messed up his life. He then mentioned the Xfactor is the only good thing he has left he had a soulful voice. But came over as really desperate and his personality was ruining it for him he was also talking about how he lost his job working on the railway trains. Skippy got a mixed response from the audience:Through to six chairs.

Female:One last time by Ariana grande:19:Female said she was unique and different from the other girls in the category. She was going to do an original version of one last time by Ariana grande but they played the normal version:Simon told her to come back later.

Couple:Demons by imagine dragon :a male and female couple sang demons by imagine dragon the guy was good the female wasn't. After they sang they were asked to sing a second song by Nicole which was too close by Alex Clare the guy proposed to the female at the audition :Through to six chairs

Female:27:Show must go on by queen:massive standing ovation from the audience:through to six chairs she was split from her partner at the auditions and decided to go solo the strongest female vocally and a potential winner.

Female:19:One last time by Ariana grande:She returned she slowed it down the judges felt she didn't do anything special or unique with the song :not through to six chairs audience chanting bring her back.

One more man went on after I didn't see him due to needing to catch my train home he was an over.

Over Atlantic:can't remember what they sang:Charlie Jones from the stereo kicks returned but in a new Boyband called Over Atlantic the judges tried to split them up and make two groups 1 with Charlie another with a different member called Sean but Over Atlantic refused however they still made it to six chairs but sadly Over the Atlantic have now pulled out the competition Duo the the judges trying to change them
