PREVIEW: 4 reasons why we’re backing 4th Impact to win X Factor
- Ain’t No Other band
Our favourite four little Christina Aguileras sang Ain’t No Other Man (performance clip below) and survived Saturday’s shock elimination by the skin of their teeth. This week the public chose I’ll Be There by the Jackson 5 for them to sing in Saturday’s Juke Box show.

PREVIEW: X Factor fireworks to expect this weekend
- Seann Miley Moore switches it up
Stairs, flares, nails, an outlandish hat and a shaved head reveal – Seann Miley Moore continues to give us more – in spades. Life On Mars was an incredible song choice for a This Is Me themed week but we’re looking for him to switch it up with something more modern and dance floor 7/11.
5 reasons to watch Strictly this Halloween weekend
- Highlight of the series
Strictly always does theme weeks brilliantly (think also Movie Week) and the make-up, costumes, music and mood will undoubtedly be monstered-up to the max. The fact that it’s actually shot live on actual Halloween this year will certainly add to the frisson.

- What Seann does next
We’ve already given you five reasons why we’re backing Seann Miley Moore to win this year’s X Factor and Judges Houses’ audition This Woman’s Work was number six. We can’ t remember a Kate Bush song appearing on such a show before and so someone is smiling on Seann. The first live show is the big one – the chance for each turn to define themselves with one song. Does Seann go Lady Gaga?
PREVIEW: 5 reasons to be excited about new Little Mix album Get Weird
OUT: 6/11
- Love Me Like You
The poptastic 7th Heaven remix of this second single from Get Weird removes the Motown and propels it further on to the dancefloor (clip above). We predicted it would be a second number 1 from this album but it hasn’t quite turned out that way, peaking at a lowly 21 so far. Part of the problem may well have been the enduring popularity of its predecessor which is still big on radio and was undoubtedly one of the songs of the summer if not the year.

- The Show Must Go On
Working the whole heels, hoop earrings, lipstick, leather skirt and reverse baseball cap look while carrying a ball and chain is hard enough. But to do it while singing Queen’s best song at Wembley Arena is our perfect introduction to Ms Miley Moore. He’s being himself – and he’s the male Lady Gaga.
