The Beyonce Factor

All week the rumours abounded - who would the special guests be for the final of the annual tellybox fest that is the X-Factor?! A smattering of websites hinted at a Destiny's Child star. However, most reports said Eoghan (EggNog) would be paired off with Boyzone, Westlife would do the honours with JLS and Rihanna would be the not-so-surprise guest to sing with Alexandra. As Meatloaf puts it, 2 out of 3......

Were it not for the incredibly STUPID Kym Marsh exclaiming to Dermot that she couldn't wait for Alexandra's performance with Beyonce, we might well have been somewhat surprised by the Superstar's arrival. Alas, Ms. "Where the hell are Hear'Say now?" had to take matters into her own hands and almost spoiled the show. I say "almost" because what followed Beyonce's entrance still gives me residual goosebumps. Simply incredible. Beyonce sealed the deal for Alexandra who, despite her obvious awe, delivered the performance of her life with her idol.

Should Leona Lewis be worried? Well, if she isn't, she's nearly as foolish as Ms. Marsh, who I suspect we may never see "gracing" the show again.
