Show 8 secrets revealed...

22 Nov 08

Britney and Miley join in the fun!

At last, it's here! Start counting the days, Britney Spears will be live in The X Factor studios one week from today.

Britney jets into Britain to perform on the UK's biggest and best entertainment show... and she'll perform here for you, the X Factor fans, before she does anything else!

We welcome Britney to The X Factor family and easing her into our quaint British ways will be X Factor's own creative director, Brian Friedman. He's been Britney's choreographer for years, so you can be sure she'll be throwing some signature moves.

What's more, we've more hot news - teen queen Miley Cyrus is on the show too, rocking out on stage just for you.

You may know Miley best as Disney's Hannah Montana but she's here performing the single 7 Things from her Breakout album... so next week is shaping up to be amazing good!

Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears will appear on The X Factor as we celebrate all things all-American. There may be just five contestants left, but with two tunes to sing each ( one Britney song and one American classic).

And as we up the ante approaching the most important stage in the show, the judges will no longer choose between the bottom two to oust their least favourite contestant. From now on, it's 100% up to you.

All in all, there will be lots of reasons to look out your stars and stripes and head down to the ho-down, right here on the X Factor stage!

Which songs should the contestants choose? Have your say here!

alex to win without doubt. felt sorry for ruth as she did so well. only she and alex can sing. diana is proving herself over and over to be short of the mark with eoghan and jls. sorry for any supporters out there - i just don't understand you voting for anyone other than alex.

Ruth was far and away the best act on the show tonight, and that includes Britney whose miming was pathetic. Without the sound engineers, you would still hear Ruth. You wouldn't hear Britney. Perhaps everyone is dazzled by her reputation, but I think it is Emperor's New Clothes. No doubt that Ruth will have a great recording career though, regardless of being voted out tonight. The only act that comes close to her is Alexandra.
