- Jason DeRulo:-

o Jason DeRulo (full name Jason Joel Desrouleaux) is a popular R'n'B singer born in Florida on 21st September 1989 (25 years old). He has been singing since 2006 and has released four albums to date (one of which was only released in the US). He has had 17 singles, with three number 1's and another six top 10 songs. I selected Jason DeRulo because he is arguably my favourite male artist. I have bought each of his albums to date and 14 of his singles, with many more to come in the future I'm sure! I love his style of music and he can sing both romantic songs and dance songs, which I like in an artist. This is Jason DeRulo and hopefully he will put on a good show for you in this competition!

- Calvin Harris:-

o Calvin Harris (real name Adam Richard Wiles) is one of the biggest DJ's in the world. He was born in Dumfries, Scotland on 17th January 1984 (30 years old) and has been in the music business since 2007. He has had three albums to date (with a fourth in the pipeline) and 21 singles, seven of which have got to number 1 and a further ten which have reached the top 10. I chose Calvin Harris because I have liked most of his songs so far and I love a good beat, which Calvin is the king of. His music has the power to cheer me up from a bad mood, so I am extra grateful to him for that. This is Calvin Harris, I hope you enjoy the songs I will bring to you in the coming weeks!

Will be interesting to see what the poll was for. I'm inclined to think it's good for the Top 4...
Alexos
09-10-2014
Okay so top 4, with great power comes great responsibility. This test will truly sort the strong from the weak:

Spoiler
There will be four heats in week 1 and the four of you will be CAPTAINS. Zak and Aliyah will be responsible for dividing up the 'Alex' acts between them, while Justin and Dylan will be choosing from 'Rory' acts. This means that the heats currently look like this:

Alex 1
Yolanda Adams

Alex 2
Whinnie Williams

Rory 1
Ella Henderson

Rory 2
BANKS

What happens next is that the four Captains will take turns to pick an act for their heat. They can ONLY pick from the category they've been assigned to, so Aliyah can't pick any 'Rory' acts for example. Imagine it a bit like the crushingly embarrassing memories of picking for sports teams at school. I will be PMing the four of you with further instructions. Once the heats are finalised, we will PM the rest of you with them.


Week #1 theme coming up!

My other act is Cheryl who is basically too flawless to even warrant an intro. I don't really know how she hasn't been chosen yet because her music is awesome and she is the Queen of XFactor.

KACEY. Love country ngl

Week #1 Theme - Introductions!

As every working mentor across the world knows, a good first impression is pivotal if you are to succeed in this industry. You must therefore pick a song that you feel encapsulate what your acts are all about. This is basically free choice, but you get one first impression, so you better make it fabulous.

Please send your songs to both me AND r0ry101. The deadline for 'Alex' acts is Sunday 12th October at 7pm. The deadline for 'Rory' acts is Wednesday 15th October at 7pm. If you're late, the playlist will go out without your songs as music waits for no one. This has proved incredibly detrimental to popular acts in the past, so please try to be punctual!

Alex Acts

George Ezra
Kacey Musgraves
Agnes Obel
Tegan & Sara
Tove Lo
MSMR
Whinnie Williams
Chasing Grace
Taylor Swift
Margaret Berger
Yolanda Adams
Ladyhawke
Jessie Ware

Michael Buble
X Ambassadors

Demi Lovato
Broods
Calvin Harris

Live Show #1 will air on Monday at 7pm, hosted by myself, meaning it will be time for the 'Alex' acts to perform! There will be a double elimination from BOTH Alex Heat #1 and Alex Heat #2, meaning that four acts will be leaving by the end of Monday's show, and you will need to be in the top 7 in order to avoid the dreaded bottom 3. BRING YOUR BEST.

I will now PM the top 4 with further instructions.

Any questions, please PM me or Rory. Rory will be around later to talk about WINNER PREDICTIONS
