Have you ever met any of them, and what were they like?

I've seen these ones live - mainly s6 here, but never met them:
- Diana Vickers
- Miss Frank
- Rachel Adedeji
- Jamie Archer, He was fantastic and really got the crowd going.
- Lucie Jones, It felt she really couldn't be bothered

I've seen these perform, and met them
- Stacey Solomon, a really nice person and as she is shown on TV.
- Jedward, fun as you would expect
- Danyl Johnson, Not at all arrogant as I had expected - really down to earth and it changed my opinion of him lots.
- Olly Murs, he came across like he couldn't be bothered

I've seen most of the 2009/2010 finalists (week 8/final 1) live in the studio including 1D and Cher (when they got eliminated), Rebecca, Matt (plus 2010 duets), Lloyd Daniels (final song), and I've also seen Alexandra Burke live and met her....she's really really nice.

[d56]

I've seen Leona and all of the series 3 people on the 2007 X Factor tour.

I also saw Leona again on her own Labrynth UK tour at the O2 arena and I was really impressed how she grew as a performer. In recent performances I believe she has improved even more (probably due to the tour)

Also Robert from series 3 was very good, as was Eton Road.

Never met any of them.

[Crabbie123]

I've never met any of them - but I saw all of the final 9 at the 2010 XF tour.

I have additionally seen:

Olly Murs at a racecourse gig.Matt Cardle and Cher Lloyd at BRMB Live. And Matt Cardle at his Cardiff tour date and the IOW Festival.

I have never tried to meet any celebrity - meet & greets just aren't my thing.

[E05297535]

Met G4 at their many gigs......better looking up close than on TV

Misha B.....no Meet and Greet in Brum, as she had to rush off to attend another gig....but there will be a next time!!

[Gill P]

I saw Joe at the Festival Hall last November. Great seats and a fantastic show. Didn't wait to meet him after as I was with my sister and she wanted to get back to the hotel.

[Strictly_Irish]

I've seen the top 8 from series 6 (Joe, Olly, Stacey, Danyl, Lloyd, Jedward, Jamie and Lucie) live because it was my favourite series and I went to the tour.
I've also seen JLS, Olly and Jedward live on their own tours. Loved each concert in different ways, all three can put on a good show!
At some point last year, I went to the filming of an Irish TV show and Roberta Howett (I think that's her name) was fronting the house band.

I've met Olly and Jedward. Both were extremely friendly and chatty.

[pothuthic]

I have seen 1D and Cher, 1D were amazing as I thought they would be! and really got the crowd going

Cher I wouldnt pay to see live she was crap tbh

[Snowyface]

I went to the XF tour series 6 and 7, but if it's own concerts we're talking about then -

JLS (5 times)...I think the amount of times I've seen them says a lot about how good I think they are at putting on a great show Looking forward to seeing them again!

Olly Murs - He was pretty good, not the best concert I've ever been to.

I'm going to see Aiden in September, looking forward to that! Would also love to see Jedward and Cher live

I've only ever met Joe, and he was lovely Want to meet JLS and Jedward so bad!

Funny thing is i saw Lucie live she was very enthuasiastic and sang extremly well and i also met her after a show in lesmis she was very kind and sweet she had so much time for her fans including me and she had just finished a show but she still chatted to me an other fans.

Met Ben Mills series 3 he was ok.

p.s im not being biased i made this acount after i met her.

I haven't seen a full Cher concert, but I have seen her twice in concerts where she has sung 4 songs - I was really impressed by the quality of her voice.

I've only ever met Joe, and he was lovely Want to meet JLS and Jedward so bad!

I forgot to say that I took my daughter to see JLS in March. I was distinctly unimpressed. No live band, mediocre singing talent (Aston is OK) and the banter between songs felt very staged. Not a bad show for teenagers due to the "showmanship" eg flying around the stage - and they can dance. But if you want to hear music from talented singers - stay away from JLS.

[LancashireLass2]

I've seen Joe in concert with his band and his voice and stage presence were fantastic. Such a versatile performer! Really great atmosphere and the crowd were going mad for him. I've also met him and he's a lovely man who really appreciates all the support he gets.

[Strictly_Irish]

Oh I actually saw Joe live as well, at The George in Dublin. My friend was a big fan so I went with her. He was great! Met him as well and he's lovely.

[iseloid]

I saw Alex (she's the only act I've ever seen live (I luckily had a job at that time early 2011) live. She was amazing. World class performer, it took me by surprise. One to really go and see. Worth the money, in fact she should earn Rihanna's tickets sales!! :P But seriously, she should be touring globally.

[unclekevo]

Have seen The X Factor 2009 and 2011 finalists live.

From 2009:

Jedward, Stacey, Joe, Lucie were great.
Jamie was okay
Danyl was better than I expected but screamed Man In The Mirror
Olly was a good dancer but pretty poor vocalist.
Lloyd was very dull.

From 2011:

Misha B was absolutely brilliant live as were Little Mix and Kitty.
Amelia was good on some numbers as was Marcus.
The Risk and Craig were really forgettable to be honest.
Johnny was very entertaining

[Matthew_Waller]

I saw Joe on his Classic tour in Rhyl, he was brilliant and I was lucky to meet him after the show, I haven't met much celebrities but I can certainly tell he's one of the lovelier ones, I gave him a massive hug too.

[Patti-Ann]

I went to the live tour 2009 with Alex, JLS, Rachel, Ruth etc

I saw JLS on their theatre tour and 'Out Of This World' arena tour - they really know how to put on a show

I saw Ray Quinn on his theatre tour 2007 and twice on the DOI tour (2009 and 2010)

Last year I saw Chico at a local theatre in panto

[dragon87]

Embarassed to admit i met Steve Brookstein when he was doing radio promotion just after he won

[Satanel]

I've met Ruth, Diana and Eoghan. Ruth was so, so lovely to everyone. (I've seen those three live (plus Alexandra), as well as all of the series six, seven and eight tour acts).

[wise-up]

I went to the xfactor tour the year joe olly Stacey were in it and it was brilliant. Also went to see olly in feb and he was great. I was surprised at how good his vocals were as he isn't always good when he is on tv. It must be because he has more time to warm up and get into the performances.
Haven't met anyone though.

I went to the Dublin auditions and the judges and Katy perry seemed nice and dermot. I saw Rebecca from belle amie audition and she was one of the best that session. I saw Niall from one direction and they made him sing a couple of songs but the crowd responded well to him. He seemed a little cocky but in a good teenage boy way not an arrogant way. He seemed really excitable too and couldn't stand still.

[Bec123]

In no particular order, I've seen all of the following perform:

Leona Lewis
Danyl Johnson
Ruth Lorenzo
Johnny Robinson
Diva Fever
Misha B
Amelia Lily
Stacey Solomon
Eton Road
Mary Byrne
Hope
The MacDonald Brothers
Same Difference

And you can add Alexandra Burke to that list come next Friday.

Never met any of them but I was standing two feet away from Amelia Lily right after the gig and my mate got a picture with her. Same thing happened with Diva Fever.

[monrose]

I went to the Series 7 and 8 tours. Last year, I went to see Aiden perform at a gig in Cork. I got to meet him and he was so lovely. He kissed me on the cheek and referred to me as beautiful. I was so excited to meet him and I really hope I get that privelege again

[dragon87]

Oh and Mary was in a stage show of Grease that i went to see if that counts?

[scott22]

Seen and met Alexandra Burke - she was incredible as always and soo nice love her!

[gelbma0991]

I've met Leona, got took backstage by her manager with some others at her last show of her tour which was really awesome

I also met Joe when he came to do a signing in my shop at Christmas, he was super super lovely and really cute ha.
