"The X Factor UK" Season 13 has announced the top 12 finalists of the current season. In another interesting revelation, it has come to the light that "Four of Diamonds" initially auditioned as solo artists and they were put together in a group by the talent show.
Last week, the judges put their seal on the final three acts for the live shows and thus, the 12 finalists have been declared, reports Heavy. According to the news outlet, Louis Walsh was assigned "Groups," Sharon Osbourne "The Overs," Simon Cowell "The Girls" and Nicole Scherzinger "The Boys."
The show has also announced a new twist and from this season, each Sunday, a celebrity guest will decide the musical theme for the next week, after eliminations. This will be done by spinning the wheel and some of these themes may include Motown, 80s, divas, disco, louis loves and girl band vs. boy band.
Meanwhile, a queer revelation has been made about "Four of Diamonds," reports Mirror Online. The four girls had initially auditioned as solo artists but could not make it past the next stage. It was then that Simon Cowell advised them to form a group, on the lines of "One Direction." Cowell's advice worked as the girls have secured a place in the live finals after the twin brothers Brooks Way quit the show.
They will be performing next week but the show never shed light on their solo audition. The group audition of Yasmin, Sophia, Caroline and Lauren was aired in September where the girls were seen describing themselves as "modern." However, they added that they put a kind of 60s urban twist on their sound.
Also, Yasmin had been earlier hunted down by record label Sony. Her Facebook profile mentions this fact. Not only this, she also admits to getting to the second round of "X Factor" in 2015.
However, a source contradicts her claim and says that she was spotted by Sony when they went to her college looking for talent. It has got nothing to do with The X Factor. It is also said that Lauren auditioned for the show in 2011 but could not pass the Boot Camp stage.
