in The X Factor #1
I always find it interesting which acts different "celebs" are backing. (No I don't "care" just interested :)

Can we create a list. I suspect that we are most likely to remember those who have endorsed the ones we like.

In order of winning/leaving
Matt
Simon Le Bon
Micheal Gove (his family anyway)
Justin Hayward
Helena Bontham Carter
Gary Barlow

Rebecca
Paloma Faith
Amy Winehouse
Adele
Heidi Range
Jade Ewen
Jason Orange
Samantha Cameron
(can't remember the name but I saw an actor saying she had the voice of an angel)

1D
Steven Gerrard
Did I see something about Cameron?

Cher
Jay-Z
Kate Moss
Tinie Tempah
Nicole Scherzinger
Kate Moss
Boy George
Ciara
Perez Hilton
Kate Moss
Jay-z
N-Dubz
Joe McElderry
Mcfly
Nathan Sykes (the wanted)
Mayte Garcia
Nicole Scherzinger





Mary
Shirley Bassey
Susan Boyle

Wagner
Robbie Williams
Alan Carr
Robert Pattinson
Stephen Fry
Russell Brand
Mark Charnock

Katie


Paige
Katie Price
The Gove Household again


Aiden



TrayC
I can't remember the order from here and may have got some of the rest of it wrong

    When you say "backing", do you mean that they were a fan, or have expressed interest in working with them in the future.

    For Cher, you can add:
    Soulja Boy
    Jay-Z
    will.I.am
    Kate Moss
    Boy George
    Ciara
    Perez Hilton (well, pseudo-celebrity)

    And Tinie Tempah and Nicole Scherzinger said they'd be interested in working with her.

    Well I doubt that the Micheal Gove or his family are thinking of working with him.

    I don't know who Michael Gove is, so I couldn't put it in context.

    Updated list accordingly.

    Ah sorry I forgot you were US and thus not us.
    He is a government minister I am not including the duet partners as they don't really have much choice :)

    I insist on will.I.am! Not because he was a duet partner, but because he has expressed interest in producing her album or something

    I also added a few more to my original Cher list.

    Jason Orange said he supported Rebecca and Gary Barlow said Matt durign the final, but it sounded like they were diplomatically saying one each so could have been nonsense!

    Wagner (Got these from http://twitter.com/teamwagnerxf/celeb-wagner-supporters)

    Robbie Williams
    Alan Carr
    Robert Pattinson
    Stephen Fry
    Russell Brand
    Mark Charnock (Yeah, I never heard of him, either, but apparently he's some actor guy)

    Also, I'm pretty sure I read that David Cameron's wife voted for Rebecca.

    When you look at it like that Cher is so popular. Did Jay Z really ever talk about her though? (not hating, just wondering) Can anyone show me a quote? Its just hard for me to believe he would even watch Xfactor

    Was the Stephen Fry thing real or something to do with him loving the other ;) Wagner?

    I think Robbie would have had trouble endorsing anyone else :)
    I remember that there were people who said Aiden but I can't remember who they were :o

    Dunno. Just took them from that list. It does bring to mind this video, though.

    David Cameron and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, supported Matt. :)

    Most of the Tottenham Hotspur team were pro-Matt too. Olly Murs was also a Matt fan. :)

    Gordon Smart and Dan Wootton also came to become Matt fans at the end, and have supported him after the show. :)
