Revealed! X Factor's secret gig!

02 Dec 08

Secret gig stuns shoppers!

A whopping 750,000 people apply to be in the audience for The X Factor's Saturday night shows each year - so the handful of competition winners who enjoyed a top-secret X Factor experience last night were very lucky indeed!

Diana, Eoghan, Alex and JLS performed at the hush hush showcase in London's Oxford Street on December 1st. And while shoppers browsed upstairs, there was a party happening on the basement level of a branch of show sponsors The Carphone Warehouse, with a media frenzy, plus a gig for just 28 lucky winners, taking place!

The guests were invited to watch the semi-final acts perform favourite tracks from the show, and there was even time for a quick meet and greet with the X Factor stars before it was time to head home!

The tracks performed were:

Diana Vickers      Call Me
                             Man in the Mirror

Eoghan Quigg      Imagine
                             One More Try

Alexandra Burke You are So Beautiful

JLS                       One Sweet Day
                             Stand By Me

dianas not going anywhere lol. course she can sing, i dont see how she would have got so far if she couldnt sing!! clearly some people just like bland and ordinary singers, thats fair enough, but id prefer to listen to diana in my opinion

I just wish I could understand what she is singing. Unless u know the song in advance, its a guess as to what it is!! She should have gone last week. Alexandra to win!!

i absolutly LOVE Diana, shes so unique, deffinatly the winner in my eyes. Who cares what she does with her hands, if thats what she finds comfortable then so be it. Hallelujah the song to sing for this week Diana :) as you get to chose on as does Cheryl.

Alex is a superb performer but not an original performer like Diana or Leon or Shayne. Leona has been in stage school all her life and lacks lustre and believability in the vocal and performance.

I don't rate Alex, yes she belts it out and shows off like a Diva. That, she's still yet to prove. Her voice always sounds sore and she'd struggle with lots of notes that Leona would've done easily. I don’t like her; she has unfair advantage too with her mum being lead singer in Soul-to-Soul, help from family friend 'Stevie Wonder' and shes having tips from friend Joss Stone. This is the liar who says she was brought up humbly, in poverty. I say bull, get yourself off Alex. Diana or JLS to win

Diana should sing hallelujah in the final...she truly made that her own when she sang it.
