Cool, but I'm just anticipated for Madonna, Rihanna and Lady GaGa if they're all true.

Is there rumours about Lady GaGa too?

There was rumours that Simon wanted her to perform, so...

Hopefully she does. I knew Whitney Houston would be on the show at some point, I knew it.

GaGa mighnt have time to perform though with the Kanye tour..
Anyway im sooo excited for this season.I hope they find some real talrnt this year.
The ratings for this season are going to be HUGE

I"m really excited for this season, I like The X Factor format better than Idol's.

There's also a rumor about what categories the judges would get this season:
Danni - Boys
Louis - Groups
Sheryl - Girls
Simon - Overs

cant wait for beyonce again

there was an artical from digital spy that MAdonna and Shakira might perform.

i will try to find it.

Is she going to be on the show again?

I've not heard any rumours, but she could be. I've only heard about Robbie Williams, Madonna, Whitney Houston, and Rihanna. Then there will be Alexandra and JLS.

Leona and Shayne will be performing too i guess.

Are they both releasing albums in time ?

Leona in October and Shayne in December.
I heard that Christina was performing too.

Leona is releasing her new single and album in november.

Maybe it's october then, heard it was novemeber

Oh, I had no idea. And Christina Aguilera?

Cascada should peform XD
Nah, I can't see them performing, they'll definetly have Alexandra and Leona back on there and maybe Shayne Ward with his upcoming album being released soon.

Cheryl Cole will also be using a chance to promote her new single, and she will be peforming live.

Yeah.I heard that Simon was hinting that she was going to perform on one of the live shows.

they're really going for all the ICONS!
