X Factor - Week 3, Relief for Louis Walsh, JLS through

Mentor Louis Walsh must be breathing a huge sigh of relief this week as he, at last, manages to keep one of his acts in the X Factor 2008 contest.

Week 1, he lost Bad Lashes, week 2, he lost Girlband. With both his girl groups gone, mentor Louis Walsh was just left with boyband JLS.

It was Big Band night and JLS performed the 1960 Dean Martin classic, Ain't That a Kick in the Head? Martin performed the song in the original film version of Ocean's Eleven.

The boys performance was credible. Entertaining, if not completely blowing the audience away and they deserved to survive another week.

JLS are not the best act left in the competition, but they are by no means the worst and now they have that added uniqueness... they are the only group left in it. In a year where the voting public may be numbed by act after act of fantastic female singers, JLS may be hoping they offer a refreshing alternative.

This Saturday is Disco week and that should suit them again.

X Factor 2008 - Girls Aloud sing The Promise

If Louis Walsh had Award winning and record breaking, Girls Aloud in his groups category, then he would stand a lot better chance of winning The X Factor 2008. Instead he has JLS.

On this weeks X Factor show, Girls Aloud performed their new song, The Promise, live.

Must have been a bit daunting for Cheryl Cole, singing live in this sort of highly judged and critically analyzed competition, but the girls did well. I would have given it a 10 out of 10, based solely on the dresses alone. :o)

Take a look at Dannii Minogue. I'm not sure if she enjoyed it or not. Maybe there's something going on that we do not know about.
