Cheryl Cole and Whitney Houston shine on X Factor
Sunday, 18th October 2009.
The diva of all divas Whitney Houston and Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole showed the X Factor wannabes how it's done on tonight's live results show.
After a week of 'will she or won't she be singing live' debates in the tabloids, Cheryl performed her debut single "Fight for This Love".
And what a performance it was. Clearly singing live (but with a little help of a backing track too), the boys' mentor proved her voice is up to scratch and even showed off some sexy dance moves.
That before US megastar Whitney Houston made her UK comeback, with new track "Million Dollar Bill".
Showing the powerful vocal talents of old, Houston - who has battled drug addictions in recent times - looked back to her best when performing.
She even had to contend with the back of her dress snapping mid-way through the routine but like a true pro she carried on.
It's just a shame she didn't show the same star quality when speaking to Dermot O'Leary.
Looking slightly nervous when quizzed by the X Factor host, Whitney took a while to answer each of his questions and seemed a little uneasy when put on the spot.
First Robbie's eyes in week one, then Whitney's nerves tonight... just what is that X Factor stage doing to these superstars?
