X Factor Finals Loom

For those that have managed to avoid television, newspapers, radio talk shows, online slots games or even random conversation; The X Factor is one of UK televisions biggest reality shows and is about to come to a close. The show which made stars out of Leona Lewis and Alexandra burke will be coming to a close this weekend.

The winner of the X Factor show hosted by modern day Svengali, Simon Cowell, wins a recording contract. Cowell along with his co-hosts Dannii Minogue, Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole have, over the past few months auditioned thousands of singers whittling down their choices to three; the bubbly single mum Stacey Solomon, Geordie Joe McElderry and Essex boy Olly Murs.

The X Factor show has whipped up a media frenzy; X Factor merchandise is available freely, even the online gaming world has joined in, offering a very entertaining X Factor Slots game. Some gaming sites have offered tickets to the finals and free bets as prizes on X Factor slots. In fact, just about every major gaming site in the UK has presented a promotion based around the X Factor Slot machine.

The three finalists seemed confident as they faced the press just two days before the big event. Said Stacey, "I feel like I've come right to the end of this whole thing. I'm at a nice level now, I'm really happy." Olly agreed with her as he commented, “I think this week all the nerves have gone, really. We're in the final, we've just got to enjoy it, have fun and have a really good night, and let the best person win, basically." Joe, however, admitted that he "hyperventilates" before he takes to the stage and tries to "put all the nerves into my performance".

It's been fun, it's been unpredictable and these guys - well particularly my artist - is a fantastic entertainer," concluded Simon Cowell.
