What time is it?
The Daily Record reports that Chico has already recorded his debut single, It's Chico Time.

Mark Hudson, the man with the beard of many colours, has written the track. But will Simon Cowell allow it to be released this year?

Mark said: "My idea is to go in and play the track to Simon and he'll either kick me down the stairs or he'll say, 'Marky you're a genius, let's release it'."

This week's show
The three X Factor favourites along with The Conway Sisters have been placed in the dreaded first four slots this week. And Chico will be singing a ballad for the first time in the series.

It is expected these songs will be sung in the fifth showdown:

Shayne: Cry Me a River - Justin Timberlake
Maria: Brown Sugar or Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
The Conway Sisters: Hold On - Wilson Phillips
Andy: I'll Make Love To You - Boyz II Men
Journey South: Living On a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Chico: Hero - Enrique Iglesias
Nicholas: I Believe I Can Fly - R Kelly
Brenda: Heartbreaker - Dionne Warwick

Conway family criticise Simon
The Daily Mirror reports that the Conway family have blasted X Factor judge Simon Cowell.

Sister Joanne and dad Kieran complained Simon has been picking the wrong songs for The Conway Sisters. And they accused him of favouring another of his acts, Journey South.

Kieran said: "With the right songs, they could win. I don't think the songs they've got suit them."
