The X Factor tour took place on the 1st of March at Wembley arena at 7.30pm, and as always with screaming JLS and Eoghan fans, I waited quietly in the queue, excited to see Ms Alexandra Burke.The show started with a brilliant performance from JLS and Britain’s Got Talent Runners up Signature; with a great collaboration of the two acts it made the opening performance amazing.
Rachel Hylton, Ruth Lorenzo, Daniel Evens, Diana Vickers and Laura White all performed 2 songs each from the X Factor show. Whereas the finalist Eoghan Quigg, JLS and Alexandra Burke all performed 3 songs each and as an addition to winning the Christmas single, Alexandra also sung Hallelujah.
The great performances of the night I felt were of JLS, Rachel Hylton and Laura White. As a big Alexandra fan, I was very disappointed with her song selection for the night. She chose Britney Spear’s Toxic as her opening number and then sung Rihanna’s please don’t stop the music, which was ok. Then she sung a very different version of Listen by Beyonce Knowles, which sounded different to other versions she had been singing throughout X Factor. I just did not feel that connection when Alexandra was singing; she seemed a lot more tired.
JLS, on the other hand, stole the show with great performances and I was really surprised that 70% of the audience in the stadium went crazy for JLS, yet they did not win the X Factor last year. After watching them live, I truly believe they could sell out Wembley no problem.
