Hi everyone! Im Aliyah, i'm 23 and i'm from London, nice to meet you all . I'm the current reigning champion of Team Factor managing to beat Alex and Stacey in the finale last year and also taking the win for the team I was in #TeamJakk.

In regards to my music taste, well lets just say I "brought" indie to these forums however I do think my taste in general is very well-rounded. I love all genre's from r&b/hiphop to indie rock and folk, however I generally look for something special in all the music I listen to, I love music that make's me ~feel~ something with either the melody or the vocals or the lyrics, however I also love a bit of head-banging rock that i can just rock out to!

In regards to my success on these forums, well you're looking at the 3-time NTA winner with my acts Bastille, Vampire Weekend & Lykke Li as well as succeeding in a tonne of games which I truly cannot remember now (I remember winning with Gamu and The Dolly Rockers though!) , also i'm the game creator of DS Factor which was a total success yay, so why would you not want to come to my team? I know how to generate success.

I hope you all gained more value from that than I did.

Lastly we have Stacey's intro if she's around?

We gave Stacey the opportunity to write her own intro, but Stacey made another choice.

However, Stacey is known for her more mainstream taste on the DS forums and championing acts such as Cher Lloyd, Rylan Clark and Abi Alton. She has had a good run in Team Factor after reaching third place last year after coming 4th in year one. She's also taking some country acts far further than a MORN second boot in NTA. Although she hasn't won any games, she's the player you remember the most and will be sure to be honest in all her opinions positive or negative.

Thank you Rory, and may I say you are looking stunning this eve and v complimentary to my own outfit

We now move on to the less tedious part of the show; the actual selection:

Contestant #1

USERNAME: jackel1234
NAME/NICKNAME (optional): God
YOUR FORUM EXPERIENCE: I am the experience
WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE TABLE: Myself
YOUR FAVORITE X FACTOR ACT AND WHY: Dean Ray as his voice was mind blowing and he's one of the only people I've seen on XF who's managed to somehow be credible whilst on the show.


So judges, you may now lie as much as you want about how much you want Jakk.

What a flawless set of judges and hosts <3

Again, good luck to all those who applied. I'll be keeping an eye on this series (or at least I'll try to).

Jakk (jackel1234)

Jakk, I just want to start off by reminding you about our winning moment last series, you were my mentor and now I feel that it's time I repaid that favour to you. Jakk, we have already established how me + you = winning formulae, so why would you want to stop there? We are literally musical soul-mates and to top it all off, we both know how well we can work together and I know I can challenge you so much more, as there are still aspects of your mentoring which can be broadened out a little bit more, so come to TeamAli, we'll be an amazing force to be reckoned with!

That said, you’d be the star player on any team and I’d be silly to knock you back, plus a mentor of your calibre deserves to have everyone turn for him. However, I think I know where you’ll be going and it’s unlikely to be Team Pete.

Jack you always slays pretty much every game you enter in the XF forum and you have an awesome reputation, so anyone would totally be dumb not to want him on their team (and he won S1 iirc?), we have a really similar music taste most of the time too. I genuinely think you'll be in the finale whichever team you choose though. You're the only God I believe in <3

Jakk has the enviable decision of choosing between our three judges. We await the result eagerly...

First off awww you guys all turning for me, much love <3. Anyway each one of you has different things to offer in terms of what they can do for me and my mentoring. Pete is one who will push me a bit to venture outside the type of music and mentoring style I do in these games which would be fun to try out but also might end up being the wrong choice. Stacey is right we do weirdly enough seem to have a very similar taste (only people on DS who love country music), would push me hard and I think working with Stacey would actually be a very interesting decision to try out. Then we have the other one.... nah jk, then we have Aliyah who knows my musical style like the back of her hand as well as how to push me to the best of my abilities. Anyway I've made my decision and I am going to go to

Tommy (stonerparty)

Hi Tommy, i think you have quite an acquired music taste which perhaps is not best suited to me and therefore I'm not sure how well i'd be able to develop you as a mentor, however I think you're a nice guy and you're my Londonbrudda so the best of luck to you and your team!

Tommy is probably one of the most unexpected people to be an ideal candidate for this game, but as proven previously his mentoring skills are actually shockingly, really good. He knows what works and I want to help him reach his highest place in any game, like ever. I also think he provides some kind of 'fun' and a nice aura to these games more than probably...anybody else and I'd LOVE to have him on my team.

Hey guys, sorry I'm late! Anyway...

Tommy

Hello Tommy! Your application was very short and didn’t really cover your mentoring experience. I think other mentors put more effort in to the application, which is a shame as it's all I have to go off as I don't know you too well, plus I think you’re likely to go to another mentor anyway.

That means Tommy goes to Stacey in another shocking development!

Contestant #3

USERNAME: fireemblemcraze
NAME/NICKNAME (optional): Roxie
YOUR FORUM EXPERIENCE: Won Mix Factor 4 with Bella Ferraro (and came 2nd in the MF5) and X Factor vs The Voice with Maria Lawson, have come 2nd loads of times, have an NTA Runner-up (Mo) and two 5th placers (Pink and Hurts). Also came 1st in Digital Spy Apprentice 4 which Niall was hosting and 2nd in Celebrity Brother!
WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE TABLE: I like pretty much every type of music from indie rock to indie pop to soulful to R&B to hip hop to dance to country! I've got a diverse music taste which can appeal to many people. Also from playing these games and going on various music forums I'm quite up-to-date on current artists and I know many different music artists (some quirky unknown ones too! <3) so I'd be valuable on any team in terms of getting songs, especially new songs which people wouldn't have heard of yet. I also work really well with people, I'm friendly/diplomatic, and I'm extremely motivated, passionate and hard-working (the evidence being my DSA victory and previous TF journey) especially when it comes to music.
YOUR FAVORITE X FACTOR ACT AND WHY: My favorite XF acts are Ruth Lorenzo/Matt Cardle/Rebecca F/James Arthur/Ella Henderson/Misha B but my favorite has to be Ruth because she was UBER passionate and an amazing rock goddess. She's also a stunningly beautiful woman (those curves <3 <3) and so so lovely!

Lol I wrote like huge amounts for each in typical essay fashion. And well done for getting three turns Jakk! <3

^God that's so embarrasing aha.

Roxie (fireemblemcraze)

Roxie!! I just want to start off by saying that one of the highlights of Team Factor last year was my outrage of your unjust elimination! I know you're back, proving the haters wrong and competing against the big guns. Roxie, I think i'd be an amaze mentor for you as you know my qualities and we also get along fabulously! We're also very similar in the sense that we both have Indian heritage and therefore that opens us up to ALL kinds of genres and beats which I would totally get. Come to TeamAli, Roxie, we can work beautifully together again!

*TURNS*

Whilst I think Roxie will be great at this game and undoubtedly get super far, I often disagree with her thoughts (songs and personally ) and I don't really see us making it work as such as a team. Plus naming Misha B in your favourites just ruined everything.
