The X Factor is back for its ninth series in 2012.
Love it or hate it The X Factor is back for its ninth series in autumn 2012. Nicole Scherzinger replaces Kelly Rowland and joins Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh on the judge’s panel. No doubt Simon Cowell will be keeping a close eye on events from the USA. The boys through to the live finals are James Arthur, Rylan Clark and Jahmene Douglas; the girls consist of Jade Ellis, Ella Henderson and Lucy Spraggan. In the overs Melanie Masson, Carolynne Poole and Kye Sones made it through with the groups of Union J, MK1 and District 3 completing the line up. A wildcard finalist is to be selected from contestants who didn’t make the final three in their respective categories, these are Christopher Malone, Adam Burridge, Times Red and Amy Mattrom. If previous X Factor series are anything to go by there will be plenty of bickering between the judges and controversial incidents. And of course there will be one performer that will polarise opinion. Sit back and enjoy the fun.
