Madonna Agrees to X Factor appearance!

[aShLEy]

:shock:

The following is an eXclusive Report that was not officially confirmed!!

It took some convincing and a lot of great PR from Simon Cowell himself, but as of now Madonna gave her "OK" to perform on the X Factor this November, MADONNAdownload has learned from a person close to Simon Cowell who asked not to be identified as negotiations were not made public.

ITV is planing a massive Madonna night, and changed the location of the show's live finals to a large enough venue for the queen of pop.

Madonna is actually showing some interest in meeting the finalists as well, after she, reportedly "fell in love" with last year's runners up JLS from videos sent to her by Cowell.

This year the live shows will air on Saturdays, but the result shows however moved to Sundays, Madonna is set to take the stage on November 1st, though that date is tentative and might very well change.

A final agreement is about to be signed in the coming days, if everything goes as planned, and an official announcement will follow.

Shakira and Whitney Houston are also in talks to perform on the show's 6th season.

The X Factor will return to ITV1 on Saturday, August 22nd, 2009.

I should note that The X Factor was the most watched show in the UK last year. And an American Version of X Factor with Simon is set to air on NBC in 2011.

She's too big for that show IMO.

I agree, a few acts have done that like Take That, Kylie and Girls Aloud!

A Madonna show for her GH on ITV would be epic!!!!

Madonna and Robbie Williams will make appearances in the new season of The X Factor.

The choreographer for the television talent show has reportedly let slip that the singers will act as mentors to contestants during filming.

Brian Friedman also revealed that Simon Cowell, the founder of the reality TV contest, has hired Whitney Houston and Rihanna, the Umbrella singer.

A source told The Sun that the details had not yet been officially revealed but Mr Friedman, 32, could not resist "blabbing" about the signings.

"Brian is really excited about this year's show because there are some great artists involved. He is proud to be part of it and admires Simon's ability to attract A-listers."

Madonna, Williams, Houston and Rihanna will give personal masterclasses to some of the contestants during the finals of the show, which starts later this month.

Last year mentors included the boyband Westlife, Take That's Gary Barlow and Mark Owen and R'n'B singer Beyoncé.

The revelations show that ITV producers have decided to dig deep into their budget as they compete with other programmes for viewers.

But the programme will no longer have to compete with Strictly Come Dancing on Sunday evenings. The BBC is to abandon its Sunday night results show for an extended Saturday slot to avoid any clash with the X Factor.

Couples will compete, face the public vote and have the dance-off all in a single show as the corporation attempts to make Saturday night ''Strictly night''.

It is understood that part of the reason for the change is the desire to avoid a possible clash with the X Factor results show, which may be shown on Sundays this year.

The new series of Strictly will begin in September with two special Friday

I'll watch them,but they're not my reason for tuning in.
I'm far more interested in seeing how the contestants progress.It wouldn't actually bother me if there was no celeb performances.
