Yeah all the song choices are really good, I have high hopes for this series

I have been listening to a few ideas for Aiden and I'm really excited about mentoring him...

i think Aiden could be your dark horse :)

I think CeCe and Ruth are the two dark horses so far ������ I've also got some ideas for my groups especially Rockweek since its out of my groups comfort zone but they are ready for a challenge

and tomorrow our top 18 will be performing at Wembley, with the song This One's for you by David Guetta ft Zara Larsson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoHnffhBwqs

Id go as far as saying he will be a lead contender after the first show it's a good song for him!

All my groups are gonna smash it especially Lazy j and big guy

so far the favourites with the bookies are:

Ooh I like that Nicky it feels like a real series so far

yeah, i like that as well



also first elimination bookies favourite


well i hope Nicolo can impress you Jake and Owoaje :)

Amazing could you message me the the bookies rankings please

I've just done a killer decision by changing one of my groups song choices I will not reveal the group until Sunday and the song choice it's something different the group haven't done yet it's also a song which will shock people in a good way so be prepared other judges

okay, nice idea Owoaje :)

Can't wait gonna be epic and it's also my first live show ever

I think one of the weeks should be themed mashup week! Would be interesting

I already have my acts song choices for the next couple of weeks too but I won't reveal them until the time we are supposed to

ShakyJake same bring it on and goodluck

good luck Jake and Owoaje :)

Same to both of you, Let's hope this series takes off Nicky

yeah let's hope so Jake :)

Looking forward I'm pretty sure it's gonna be fun

i'll post the performances on here, with the liveshows, as i'm also the host of this game :)


I'll be hosting this x factor international series alongside a superstar's mother, Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mom :)



and we'll now have our Tuesday panel, with singers/songwriters/producers


check later for the panel Xtra factor show international series, with this week Taylor Swift, RedOne, Leona Lewis and Abbey Clancy ( winner of strictly come dancing) :)

Exciting I also heard a rumour liam Payne will be singing with hip hop artest juicy j and wiz khalif with them singing the song you

Xtra factor? Ooh! I didn't know we would be getting that, that's exciting

Tina knowles? That's a bit random? I don't know what you mean by your presenting it though, you can't present it and be a judge all at the same time you would need to be on the judges table

I think Dermot O Leary and Nicole Scherzinger would make a good presenting duo for the game?

it will be Dermot and Nicole for the xtra factor of this game


and we'll begin now

Dermot: welcome to this first Xtra Factor live, we'll start with a interview with Taylor Swift, hi Taylor do you like the top 18

Taylor: well yeah i like them, i'll be performing on the x factor stage in a few weeks as well along with the acts

Dermot: that's great to hear, and also joining me is Strictly come dancing winner and model Abbey Clancy, hi Abbey why are you here?

Abbey: i am sponsoring the outfits what the acts will wear in the liveshows

Dermot: nice to know that, and Abbey you have been in competitions before yourself, what is your advice to the acts

Abbey: i think you must enjoy your own performance, and try to control your nerves the best you can

Dermot: Abbey very best of luck with your career

Abbey: thank you


Nicole: alright joining me is Team Nicky's guest mentor RedOne and Nicky himself

RedOne: hi Nicole

Nicky: hi Nicole, i'm a big fan of the pussycat dolls

Nicole: thank you Nicky i'm honoured, but does Team Nicky has any surprises in store for us

RedOne: well of course we've got amazing performances for the first liveshow, we have already seen them in rehearsals

Nicky: Nicolo will be amazing singing Cosa Della Vita by Eros Ramazotti, with a own backing singer Darlene Love, who will be singing along with Nicolo

Nicole: that sounds great, and also joining me is act Maan De Steenwinkel, hi Maan

Maan: Hi Nicole

Nicole: tell us, how is Nicky as a mentor

Maan: he's very ambitious and eager to make epic performances, so i hope i won't let him down

Nicole: best of luck to you and the other acts



Dermot: also now a big reveal who will be my co-host, and that is Tina Knowles

Tina: glad to be your co-host Dermot, and also my daughter Beyonce will be performing in one of the liveshows as well, performing one of her newest singles

Dermot: see you Thursday Tina, and i hope it will be epic

Dermot:Hello and welcome back I'm now joined by Liam Payne from One direction what a surprise to see you here we wasn't expecting you lol.

Liam: Thank you Dermot it's great to be here all this week I've been working with all the groups separately and together they are all a great bunch of people and all have exciting performances

Dermot: Fantastic could you please tell me what to expect from the groups performances?

Liam: one of the groups have got a song change the song is sung by a big Legand and I've seen them rehearse they sound incredible they will perform with a choir behind them this is a big track and it's a well known 80s hit.

Dermott: Wow so extra pressure for the group especially if there is a choir.

Liam: Absolutely but we are also seeing another side to the group we haven't seen yet if they nail this performance which I have faith they will then I think they would be straight up strong contenders all the groups can infact with their performances.

Dermot :Great what's your opinion on the other acts in the top18

Liam: I think they are fantastic a few I'm not too keen on but that could change I've seen and heard a few rehearsals some contestants are definately bringing it this week some sounded incredible rehearsing.

Dermot: Fantastic can't wait for your performance later with wiz khalif and Juicy J and make sure you tell Cheryl I said hi.

Liam: Cheers Dermot and I will do.

Dermot: Now we head over to Nicole with the groups mentor Owoaje93

Nicole: Now I'm speaking with the groups mentor Owoaje93 so how is it working with the groups.

Owoaje93: It's a blast enjoying every moment and they are working hard I believe they will crush the competition with the song choices one reason why I like working with my acts is that I'm honest with them and when something isn't good or right I tell them straight and they work on it.

Nicole: How nervous are your groups for Thursday or are they chilled with it?

Owoaje93: Extremely nervous in fact Big Guy from Lazy j and big guy threw up earlier but he got better and he needed some food so he got some FatBurger to be fair my groups are all excited, exhausted a lot of things everyone is in for a real treat Thursday.

Nicole: Are Lazy J and Big Guy the most nervous

Me: No they are not actually the most nervous but we are working on it is actually Paris Inc but all groups are nervous that's why I got Liam Payne to do some workshops with them all

Nicole: Thank you ever so much Owoaje93?

Owoaje93: My pleasure

Nicole: we are now joined by one of the groups the country hunks RestlessRoad how you all doing?

RestlessRoad: Howdi we are good just extremely tired we have been rehearsing since 6am

Nicole: wow that's crazy but it's all worth it right

RestlessRoad: Absolutely it's all worth it just looking forward till Thursday

Nicole: Amazeballs so your performing House Party by Sam hunt this week?

RestlessRoad: Yep that's god damn right we are

Nicole:Okay guys could you please tell us anything about your performance please?

RestlessRoad: Okay we are not gonna give much away but the stage set will be a house in a living room and expect some dance moves from us that's all we're gonna tell.

Nicole: Oh my gosh sounds amazing can't wait to see you guys dance

RestlessRoad: It's definately the hardest part of the performance but we are just gonna put are hearts out there and do the best we can and put on a show for you guys.

Nicole: Who would you guys say is your biggest competition at the moment

RestlessRoad: Jesus that is a hard one I think maybe because we are both country acts I'll have to be Willie Jones in Nicky91s category who we think it's great and has a great soul at heart.

Nicole: Great I can't wait to see you guys perform it and thank you boys for talking and best of luck guys .

Dermot: Welcome back, in this segment we will be discussing the overs so it's over to Nicole who has an exclusive interview with Jake

Nicole: oh yes I do dermy I'm here with Jake who has returned for a third series of the X factor, so Jake despite the disappointing year last year you are still in a strong position as the winning mentor

Jake: yeah it's a shame the last series got axed but we had a problem with one of the mentors having to leave really suddenly in the competition and we thought the fairest thing to do was to put in on hiatus and if those acts last year wanted to audition again they are more than welcome, but I'm loving this series so far it's a really strong series, it has a fresh new look and we have this show of course now which has you brilliant presenters on it

Nicole: aww thanks babe but yeah do you think your acts are as strong as the first series

Jake: well I loved my girls back then I see them really regularly they are some of my closest friends and they were so talented but yeah I think I have an amazing bunch of people this time, although they are overs they shouldn't be underestimated and I think they will bring something really special to the live shows

Nicole: can you give us a run down of who your acts are and why you picked them

Jake: certainly

Lillie McCloud, she is a soul singer and a beautiful and talented lady she has a lot of experience she just hasn't been given that big break that she deserves

Ruth Lorenzo, A Latina sexy goddess with one of the best rock sounds around

Fleur east, super sassy with bags of attitude and killer moves

Wagner, well he is just hilarious

Then you have my boys

Aiden, super mysterious and dramatic and the ladies love him

And Rylan, he reminds me of myself he loves the cheesy music and to dance and we all just want to join in with him and not everyone is gonna like him but a lot of people will love him

Nicole: that's great thanks maybe we will get an interview with a couple of them later but they are all super hard at work rehearsing for Thursday, but back to dermot

Dermot: thanks for that Nicole, after the break I will be interviewing the amazing songstress Leona Lewis

(That's my part done Nicky, I'll let you carry on...)

Dermot: welcome back from break before we speak to leona we have a special performance from Juicy J & Wiz Khalif Featuring One Directions own Liam Payne

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vgfp9IVftE

Dermot: Great song thanks lads, now we have an interview with Leona Lewis

Leona: Great to be here

Dermot: so we all know that you got your big break on a similar show to this do you know how our contestants will be feeling

Leona: Of course, they will be really nervous they probably won't have performed for an audience of this size before not only in the audience but the millions watching at home it's daunting but also really exciting too so they should enjoy themselves as much as they can

Dermot: good advice, you have had lots of hit records and even got to sing the title song off the huge film avatar, you have done many great things since you won what has been your highlight

Leona: There are so many I couldn't pick one, I have been incredibly lucky and I cherish every moment and opportunity and if the contestants do their very best they can achieve all of this too

Dermot: so which contestants are you liking and which aren't you liking?

Leona: They are all great in their own way, I wouldn't be unfair and say I disliked anyone, although Wagner is a bit bonkers, the ones I'm watching out for are a couple of the girls, Diana and Maan I think they have very unique qualities about them, I'm looking forward to seeing how the groups that have recently formed seeing how they get on, and I love Lillie McCloud and Ruth Lorenzo, Fleur East is a contender for me too but yeah everyone is great

Dermot: thanks for talking to us Leona, I believe Nicole has caught up with a couple of acts

Nicole: yes dermot I have, Rylan and Lillie! How are you both?

Rylan: I can't believe I'm here, it's bizarre, I'm just here loving life it's incredible

Lillie: yeah it's a blessing to be here I'm so grateful

Nicole: are you both nervous yet?

Rylan: bricking it I'm gonna wee on stage I'm convinced I can't handle it

Lillie: I'm actually looking forward to it to be honest

Nicole: can you talk about your song choices?

Rylan: Funny you say that Nicole as I'm singing when I grow up

Nicole: shut up! Seriously? That will be Shamazing

Rylan: I'm gonna throw everything including the kitchen sink at it

Nicole: yeah go for it Ry Ry

Lillie: Well I'm singing a Celine Dion song, so no pressure, it's one of my favourite songs it's a passionate dramatic song and it's going well so far

Nicole: great stuff well I know how much work you have to put in so I'll let you go, back over to you Dermot
