But she doesn't know any of the acts, so how is she supposed to know they are ''cheesy''? And she most likely hasn't watched X Factor before.

Having said that, I don't think she would worry much about the contestants, it's also promotion for her anyway.

I would like to see her do a solo performance as well though.

Purely and simply its a primetime 90 minute advert for her and is likely to result in substantial record sales just in time for christmas. It's perfect for her really in terms of capturing 12 million people in her target sales demographic all in one go!

They all do it on Star Academy [FRANCE] anyway. All the big stars perform with the singers on the show!

I'm trying, honestly I'm trying, but I can't come up with a single French singer let alone a big star.

I am suprised they could get such a big star.. I thought Simon could only get has been boybands and people like britney who are struggling to make a comeback and Mariah who can't sing any more. :sleep:

As Bouncy was willing to play Connect 4 with fatty Hammond on this morning I'm sure she'll be happy to turn up to the X factor!

It's the most-watched show in the country. It saves her having to bother going on lots of shows when she can be seen by just as many appearing once - the final should have especially high ratings, too.

She's not ALL about the artistic credibility, don't you know?

Britney is hardly struggling. That's just the tabloids talking. If the act wants promotion and are available they will do X Factor if asked. I mean look at how many viewers there are. Regardless of how 'cheesy' the show is it's an opportunity too good to miss.

Like someone said aboive, Beyonce isn't as stuck up as people might assume. I'm sure she'd enjoy singing with Alexandra too if she was asked. She would probably prefer to do something different like that instead of just another straightforward single-plugging performance.

I saw that interview. I thought Beyonce came across really well considering that Alison was acting way too over-familiar with her

I'm still holding out hope that this is all just a rumour.

Quite. And she's done that little show more than once.

In all seriousness, if it means maximum exposure to boost album sales then it makes perfect commercial sense. Beyonce has always come across as more down-to-earth than the likes of Miss Spears so I'm sure she doesn't see it as 'lowering' herself anyway.

She wouldn't have been caught dead singing with the little karaoke child - she would never have agreed to do that...
But singing with Alexandra is a different story - they are both REAL singers with real talent.

Well I'd be surprised if she performed a duet with Alex considering their vocals both occupy the same frequency range. Unless, they perform alternate segments of the track or if one sings one octave higher or lower than the other, then I don't really see them pulling that one off.

She'd be more suited to an act like JLS who'd be able to compliment her harmonically.

Although in theory it may have worked, Rhydian and Jenkins didn't pull it off last year because both of their vocals were fighting with each other for dominance in the track. It sounded cringe-worthy because of it.

the only reason people think beyonce is struck up is because she is very pretty but she isnt.

Beyonce looks cool. Just from watching her interact with her audience. She ain't no diva but Sasha is some diva. When she get's on stage, she is a totally different person. I love it.

Hey everyone this is my first post been slurking fir years and finally joined.

I think Beyonce performing with a contestant is surprising and has potential to be disastrous. I hope she doesnt outsing Alexandra .
