Michael Jackson thrill on X Factor

MJ-Fan · December 02, 2009, 11:39:09 AM

X Factor hopefuls are set to sing Michael Jackson this week - while Janet Jackson will also perform on the show.

Semi-finalists Danyl Johnson, Olly Murs, Stacey Solomon and Joe McElderry are each choosing a track from the Thriller star's hits.

The late singer's sister Janet is tipped to give her views on the previous night's performances on Sunday's show.

An insider told The Sun: "The Michael Jackson numbers will be huge crowd pleasers - and each contestant will want to do Janet and the Jackson family proud."

Before he died in June, show bosses had planned to bring the King Of Pop himself to perform on the show, according to the newspaper.

Janet, 43, who recently released her greatest hits compilation The Best, will take to the stage on Sunday's verdict show.

Rihanna and Alicia Keys performed on the ITV show last weekend.

Not sure if there's anything weird in that article? Well, I'm not expecting clues, but I think it'll be nice to tune in. Although, I will be listening to what Janet says very closely ;) I think it'll be a nice tribute, and show everyone how INCREDIBLE Michael is. For those that don't get the channel ITV1 (and ITV2) I'll do my best to find a live stream for you! Oh, and good luck for Sunday, Janet! xx

X factor is on tonight and Janet is performing tomorrow.
I couldn't find a good live stream, but you can catch up the day after. I'm sure there's a live stream somewhere if you look! Good luck :)

I don't think Michael would ever agree to perfrom on a show like this, somehow...

I don't really watch it as a rule, but it may be interesting, especially as Janet is going to be on.

I'm not expecting any clues, though..

Oooh.. its about to start.
I will get annoyed if those X-factor wannabes murder MJ songs though!!! I dont normally watch X Factor.

My mum and dad watch it without fail every week and do the phone in voting too!

I agree... especially when its talentless kareoke kids. There are only very few people who have the talent and the voice to pull it off.
The only one i have heard so far was that young welsh lad who sang at the memorial.

I don't think they're talentless or karaokee, they're no MJ but they're not talentless.

Karen... ive just noticed you are from Ireland.

Please dont tell me you supported those god-awful quiff haired twins. lol

Ok.. so they arent exactly talentless (well some of them have some talent)... i just dont believe in the quick route to fame that x-factor promises to give.
You have to work for your fame and success and hone your career... and to be honest, so far tonight has been absymal with the songs.
Hang on.. Man in the Mirror now.. and this is my fave song of all time. please dont murder it Danyl!!!
