Mariah's Hero 'duet'

07 Nov 08

Contestants can't wait for special 'duet'...

You read it here first - the official X Factor website can exclusively reveal that special guest star Mariah Carey will sing number one single Hero live on stage with the X Factor finalists tomorrow.

This historic performance will give The X Factor Finalists' version of Mariah's original 1993 hit her official seal of approval - in a spectacular way.

There is no doubt that this will become one of the real must-see moments on British TV.

Thanks to the fabulous generosity of you guys out there, Hero is still number one in the charts as Remembrance Sunday approaches.

And Mariah will add her voice in support of the single which donates all funds to the joint causes Help for Heroes and The British Legion Poppy Appeal. Both charities support injured British troops.

The pressure is on for the contestants who, as well as singing alongside Mariah in this unmissable one-off collaboration, will each choose a track from Mariah's Songbook to perform on the night.

Mariah herself will perform twice. As well as singing alongside the contestants on Hero, she will perform her newest release, the single I Stay in Love.

Can't wait for Mariah to sing Hero? Tell us below!

I am gutted, Laura was fantastic. This may sound dramatic but I have complained to both ITV and OFCOM about tonights result. I voted for Laura many times and have requested to actually see the proof of the number of calls each contestant recieved plus I actually want to see the evidence that my phone number shows up as being recieved. People we all need to complain to get this sorted out. The show is a fix. I have paid to vote and I don't trust ITV anymore. viewerservices@itv.com

Laura you are fantastic and didn't deserve to go. I hope you show Simon and Louie (tactical voting by the way) and go far - I will certainly buy your album. How are Daniel and Eoghan still in this competition, what is going on??

ITV you should be ashamed, can you feel the general public rising up against you! YOU BETTER LISTEN TO YOUR VIEWERS BEFORE ITS TOO LATE! ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!

Well we all know now its been set up for Diana to win. Other than Diana being a totally contrived act who is attractive to look at but the 'same as - same as' each week she can - at least sing somewhat. But such a shame it is not a FAIR competition - unless most people watching are deaf or suckers for a sob story. I had big problem getting to vote for Laura 2nite ???? And I signed the petition!
