Here’s what the contestants will be singing with their celebrity singing partners this weekend. These are still very much provisional, as it seems unlikely George Michael will be able to sing with Joe McElderry as planned.

Olly Murs + Robbie Williams – Angels
Stacey Solomon + Michael Bublé – What A Wonderful World
Joe McElderry + George Michael – Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me

There are strong rumours that George Michael has pulled out of this weekend’s X Factor.

He was set to perform with bookie’s favourite Joe McElderry, but sources close to George have revealed he is unlikely to be able to perform, citing ‘personal issues’.

Westlife are understood to be standing by in the event George Michael is unable to attend.

Tonight all the contestants are singing one song by Michael Jackson, and another of their choice. Here’s what you can expect to hear:

Danyl Johnson
Man In The Mirror
Hello

Stacey Solomon
The Way You Make Me Feel
You Got The Love

Olly Murs

Can You Feel It
Chasing Cars

Joe McElderry
She’s Out Of My Life
The Closer I Get To You

We’ve been flooded with so many comments in support of Lucie Jones that we’ve been struggling to keep up here at X Factor blog. Tens of thousands of you have logged on to register your disappointment that Lucie has left the show. But what can you do to really make a protest?

Many have suggested that everyone should vote for John and Edward, thinking that this in some way will damage Simon Cowell, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Simon makes money every time someone casts a vote, and he certainly hasn’t lost out with unsuccessful acts like Leon Jackson winning.

The best way to show Simon he is wrong is to buy the single of a girl who was treated very similarly to Lucie last year: Laura White. Laura is signed to a small independent label, but this week charted at a very respectable number 31, despite no airplay or publicity. Unlike a vote for John and Edward, buying Laura’s single You Should Have Known makes Simon no money, but registers a protest against the way he treats the young acts on the X Factor.

We are strongly urging everyone who supports real talent to click here and buy Laura White’s single. For less than 70p you can help propel Laura to chart fame and show Simon the acts he misses out on by choosing controversy over talent.
