From The Sun:


DUFFY is in talks to join a star-packed X Factor final with Beyonce, Boyzone and Seal.

The Welsh singer, 24, rose to fame only this year but bosses of the ITV1 talent show want her to perform on Saturday night.

Each of the finalists — Eoghan Quigg, JLS and Alexandra Burke — will sing with one of the big-name acts.

The Sun can reveal Beyonce may perform hit song Irreplaceable with Alexandra — who has already sung her hit Listen on the show.

Reformed “manband” Boyzone — managed by X Factor judge Louis Walsh — have also signed up. And so has Seal, 45, who was seen on ITV2’s Xtra Factor giving the wannabe stars his tips.

X Factor chiefs were anxiously waiting for the final decision from Beyonce, 27.

A show insider said last night: “We are crossing our fingers. It will be a one-up on the BBC, who had Beyonce on last month.

“We always like to do things a bit bigger and better than Strictly!”

Kylie Minogue did a song on last year’s final show with winner Leon Jackson, while opera star Katherine Jenkins sang a duet with Rhydian and Same Difference performed alongside Jason Donovan.

Yesterday the finalists went home to see friends and family — and will spend the week staying at a secret location.

They have been sharing a home in North London for the past few months, but are being put up in luxury accommodation complete with a butler until the final on Saturday.

Seal... now I reckon JLS would do a brilliant version of Kiss From A Roase

That would be excellent if done right!

I think it will be:
Duffy and Eoghan
JLS and Seal
Alex and Beyonce

Or maybe it will be Alex and Seal as Alex/Beyonce are kind of similar.

I would think:

Eoghan and Seal (singing Kiss from a rose?)
Alex and Beyonce
JLS and Boyzone/Duffy?

I actually think JLS would do a great version of Mercy!

But i hope Boyzone will not get to sing with one of the contestants as they are just sh!te

I Love Seal, and so happy that he is having a bit of a renaissance.

Just hope it's not Eoghan murdering Killer in a teenybop version. I can see him skipping about now.

Love Seal too. Wouldn't want Eoghan turning Crazy into Cheesy though.

They'd have to put Boyzone with Eoghan. None of the others would work in a million years.

They can't put JLS with Boyzone - that would show how bad Boyzone are.

Seriously, why would JLS want to sing with another group? They'll want to be with a solo singer.

I'd prefer to hear Seal and Alex, I actually think their voices would go well together. Killer would be good.

Really don't want to hear Alex/Beyonce, Beyonce will just thrash her basically and as much as I don't want Alex to win and Beyonce showing her up could ensure that, I'd much rather just not have her sing any song with Beyonce and allow Beyonce to Sing Single Ladies (and Halo to annoy Simon since she got it before Leona had the chance to record it) and show us all how its done on her own.

Could it EVER get more cheesey than if Eoghan sang with Boyzone........erm, no, but a deffinate series winning duo IMO should that be allowed. Imagine the female vote on that set up

What do you think they'll sing?

I actually think Eoghan has improved the past few weeks and is above Boyzone to be fair, I reckon a song with Duffy would be much better. Perhaps a cover for both, not an actual Duffy track would be good, don't know what.

"No matter what" is not very challenging for either lol, suppose that would be it!

"Mercy", at least she would be convincing singing at at Eoghan, as in begging him for mercy and stop singing

They've got Eoghan this far on limited singing talent so they will not expose him by throwing him in there with a singer like Seal!

He'll sing something like Love Me For a Reason or Father and Son, something nice and safe that will keep the votes coming in.

Im sure that Simon will be willing to throw a few more quid at some (BIG) vocal celebs in a chance to improve viewing figures. It is strictly come dancings semi this comng weekend and if that outshine the Xfactor finals figures, Simon will self ignite with rage and his sugar puff teeth will fall out

Oh, fantastic. They want to go and make the final even worse by throwing Boyzone into the mix. I've just read on Last.fm that Alexandra is singing Irreplaceable with Beyonce. But surely Beyonce will either just sing alone and if she's doing a duet then it will only be with Alex and nobody else? Lmao, Alex would be devastated if Beyonce sung with one of the other two acts.
