I thought former contestants promoted their new singles on the main show. Why was she demoted to Xtra Factor? And I don't think they even interviewed her (my tv connection went out briefly so not fully sure about that.)

I was about to ask the same. It's a shame that she is treated like a total crap even on the platform that used to be promoting and endorsing her

I'm pretty sure Tulisa & Louis aren't fans of her at all.

They seem to stand by their comments from last year re the bullying.

Love Misha B though, she doesn't need the show.

Last year I recall Emeli Sande singing in Xtra Factor. Fingers crossed Misha can achieve success of hers

Simply because when your biggest achievement is a #9 single you aint going to get an X Factor slot...

Thats a shame I'll have to see her on catch up but at least she had some kind of platform, she's a new artist singing a genre of music that doesnt always have mainstream appeal, and she's done very well

These. Is it really that hard to understand? Didn't you figure it out already when you saw 1D's pointless appearance on the main show in week 1?

If she had been given a chance to perform the song when the single was released like they did billion times with ex xf contestants she wold have been higher than #9. The position is simpy the result of not having let her perform on the main show. Couple years ago they didn't bother to let Diana Vickers perform a plagiarised song. Last year I didn't consider Professor Green and this yea e.g. Labirinth big enough to perform there as well.

Misha B is not a huge draw and they want star power for the main show. She's lucky she got Xtra factor I reckon.

And yet LM performed on the show last week and only got to #3 in the charts!! Performing on the main show doesnt always have it's advantages, so, IMO, Misha was better off away from the show all together!!

I think Misha B isn't going further than one single. I'm surprised she got even that.

Her song was playlisted by Capital though, DYTOM wasn't playlisted by Capital until like last week I think?
