Shock tears anger loss
- X Factor 2012 had it all & much much more! Fans all over the country were divided like never before as they fought to defend their favorite acts with every tool at their disposal. Twitter Facebook blogs & phone lines were all clogged with opposing opinions from everyone from teens to grandmothers; politicians to well-known celebs. With name changes shock exits & a few phoenix-like rises from the flames of elimination our hearts were tugged in every way imaginable. & at the center of the show was the fiercest battle of all
- the battle of the boy bands. Who could have known that this year would see one of the closest & tensest X Factor wars in history. Not since Boyzone took on Take That in the nineties had such a fierce battle been fought. The prize? A rare recording contract yes but most importantly the chance to follow in the footsteps of Alexandra Burke JLS One Direction & Little Mix
- & become international stars. With so much at stake each band ad to prove their worth over the other
- in spite of their blossoming friendships. & when the battle was won would fame & fortune come to either group? The ninth series of the X Factor began airing on ITV on August 18th 2012. It was then that the world met Union J & District 3
- although neither band were called by those names when they first auditioned. It would be the start f some very big life changes for Josh JJ Jaymi George Greg Dan & Mickey.
