Mason Noise has blamed 'X Factor' no show on a ''logistical miscommunication''. The controversial contestant snubbed the 'X Factor' finale on Sunday night (13.12.15) when his fellow former contestants gathered for a collaborative performance but Mason claims that show bosses failed to book him a hotel room to stay in. He said: ''It wasn't really a choice (to not appear). There was some problem with my management and 'The X Factor' and then miscommunication logistically so I couldn't get there. ''It was logistics, the hotel wasn't sorted so we couldn't get down there. The show just didn't get back to us. ''I...

Mason Noise has blamed his exit from 'The X Factor' on being ''drugged up''. The 22-year-old singer was voted out of the competition in a shock elimination on Saturday (21.11.15) and he's now claimed his rendition of Nick Jonas' 'Jealous' wasn't up to scratch because he'd been suffering with a sore throat. He told the Daily Star newspaper: ''I've had really bad flu and swollen glands. I've had to go on voice rest. We've had to see how it goes. You just drug up and do what you can. All the way through I knew I had to just suck it up...

Anton Stephans has been tipped as the early favourite to win 'The X Factor'. Simon Cowell's act topped the polls on the first weekend of the live shows, getting almost twice as many votes as Louisa Johnson, according to leaked figures obtained by The Sun newspaper. However, Seann Miley Moore - who landed in the bottom two on the second live show at the weekend and was eliminated after a sing-off with Mason Noise - came in third place on the first live show, revealing how quickly viewers can change their minds.

The X Factor finalists might have a tough life of early starts, vocal rest and brutal choreography, but it's not all bad - they're getting a taste of the life of the rich and famous.
And with that comes a super glamorous photoshoot for the show's official style partner Very.co.uk, where the Top 11 posed together at a lavish party and then shot further photos in their categories.
Nick Grimshaw's Boys - Mason Noise, Che Chesterman and Seann Miley Moore - spent their day with a flash car, although Girls Kiera Weathers, Lauren Murray, Louisa Johnson and Monica Michael made do with some bikes.
Elsewhere, the two remaining Overs Anton Stephans and Max Stone spent some time together around the piano, which Max seemed to be enjoying an awful lot.

Last night's first X Factor live show was jam-packed with performances, from the sublime to the (faintly) ridiculous. But while there is some serious talent on show this year, not everyone can be a winner - and someone's about to go home.
It could be anyone at this stage of the competition, so join us from 8pm when the show kicks off as we bring you all the action, from Little Mix and Ellie Goulding's performances to the big result...
20:59Phew, that's that then. We know Simon Cowell's a very busy man but we do think he should probably have learned the names of all the acts on his show - what do you reckon? And do you think the right acts went home tonight? Are you going to miss Bupsi and Alien Uncovered? And who are you loving? Keep leaving all your comments below and stick...

The X Factor finally kicked off its live shows this weekend, and gosh, it looks like we've got a seriously strong field of acts this year. In fact, ranking them seems faintly unfair as even those lower down the league put in some fantastic performances, but we sucked it up and did it anyway:
13. Max Stone
You could have the best voice in the world, Max, and yours is very nice. But you still did a cod reggae cover of 'Someone Like You'.
12. Bupsi
Not quite 'You're A Wonderful One' this week. More of 'You're An Okay-But-We-Preferred-Pony One'.
11. Kiera Weathers
Kiera sang 'Crying For No Reason'... let's hope the voting public won't actually give her a reason to cry.
10. Reggie N Bollie
Reggie N Bollie covered 'It Wasn't Me' but if we were them we'd be taking All the credit for this super fun performance.

The X Factor's most controversial act Mason Noise tried to win people over with his performance of 'Sorry' tonight.
Mason sang the Justin Bieber single in an attempt to make up for his Six Chair Challenge meltdown - and the judges were certainly won over.
"That was an amazing song choice, it really was," Rita Ora said. "I kind of feel like stop talking about your thing you did at Six Chair and keep it moving now... We've seen it, done it, everyone makes mistakes... You did a good performance, so congratulations."
And Cheryl Fernandez-Versini added: "It's never easy to come out and perform with nerves anyway, but to come out faced with adversity and negativity is a really, really hard task. I think that's gone - I think you are potentially a superstar."
Simon Cowell - who called Mason an "arsehole" at the Six Chair Challenge - was also impressed with his turnaround.

We're annoyed with The X Factor. No, not because of Mason Noise, or because Sinitta wasn't at Judges' Houses, or because of Simon Cowell's eye-wateringly high waistline. Nope, we're annoyed with The X Factor because we're not getting Halloween Week this year.
There's nothing scarier than a hopeful singer nervously belting out a classic while dressed in lycra and cobwebs, but we're going to be denied this pleasure as the contestants instead face the "this is me" theme for the first live show on Saturday. But that doesn't stop us from carving a pumpkin, popping on a witch's hat and reliving these best ever Halloween Week performances:
1. 'E.T.' - Little Mix (2011)
Not just one of the best ever Halloween Week performances, but one of the best ever X Factor performances. Ever. This is the moment when Little Mix made us stop and pay attention - not only...

The X Factor kicks off its live shows this weekend, but do you know what it's missing? 2 Shoes. Ever since the Essex duo burst onto our screens back in 2011 they've held a special place in our hearts, so we decided that the best thing to do would be to get their verdict on this year's acts (minus late addition and wildcard Monica Michael).
Alright, so the pair (also known as Lucy Texeira and Charley Bird) squealed "love them!" about literally every single hopeful on the show - they're basically Brucie going "you're my favourite". But they also had plenty to say about who could be first out, who could win, who could be a third Shoe and much more:
4th Impact
Charley: "Oh, they're so cute."
Lucy: "Are they all sisters? See, I think that's great. And their harmonies are really tight. And you can tell because they are sisters,...

Simon Cowell has claimed that he's 'making The X Factor up as he goes along'.
The music mogul spoke to This Morning about the latest series of the ITV talent show, and also explained his hard decisions at Judges' Houses.
Cowell said: "I wouldn't rule anything out on this show to be honest with you, you make it up as you go along, trust me!"
Speaking about how he chose his final three acts for the live shows, he said: "[It was] a nightmare, honest, I went home absolutely exhausted."
After much deliberation, Cowell decided to put Bupsi, Max Stone and Anton Stephans through to the live shows.
"The first time I met Bupsi she was the last audition and I was just about to say goodbye… she was too nice, and then of course she replied with 'nasty' and I was kind of in the mood for nasty!"

She's back! Monica Michael was snapped in rehearsals for The X Factor yesterday after becoming the show's Wildcard this series.
Michael - who was originally sent home after Judges' Houses - was seen performing her rendition of Ed Sheeran's 'Make It Rain'. Oh, and she had time for a hug with mentor Rita Ora, too.
Rita was really dishing out the hugs, as she was also spotted embracing Louisa Johnson - who'll take on 'God Only Knows' as part of this weekend's 'This Is Me' theme.
Elsewhere, she could be seen giving Kiera Weathers a pep talk ahead of her performance of Katy B's 'Crying For No Reason'.
But there was also time for a giggle and some dance practice with Lauren Murray, whose dream of performing a Whitney track on the show will become reality this weekend when she tackles the legend's version of 'I'm Every Woman'.

X Factor finalist Mason Noise could be about to cause yet more controversy as an old music video has emerged online which features the singer as a gun-toting gangster.
The hopeful from Nick Grimshaw's Boys' category - who made it into the judge's final three last weekend - can be seen wearing a mask as he and two others prepare for a heist in his video for 2013 single 'Blow The Doors Off'.
He also holds up a building at gunpoint, fights security guards, and pulls out some seriously smooth moves in front of a private jet in the nine minute-long feature.
A source close to the 22-year-old has since stressed to Digital Spy: "Mason in no way endorses crime or gun culture."
The backlash against Mason began after he criticised the show's editing of his audition while at the Six Chair Challenge, before dropping his mic and storming off the stage.

The Australian hopeful asked for support while leaving the BBC Radio 1 studios this morning, holding a lipstick-penned sign saying "Vote 4 Me" - complete with a little kiss.
We can't wait to see what his phone face will be.
But Seann wasn't feeling the competitive spirit too much as he let his fellow Boys Mason Noise and Che Chesterman pose with the sign, and even gave Che a little smooch.
The trio are mentored by Nick Grimshaw and will attempt to win over the public with their first live performances on Saturday (October 31).
But Mason might have a harder job than most of the acts in the competition as he was booed when Grimmy chose to take him through.

Asked who he would reinstate if he had a wild card, Grimshaw told Digital Spy: "Maybe Monica. I love Monica. I thought it was very courageous - it took balls tonight to do a song which she's written.
"I thought it was very moving and really emotional. So I'd love to see Monica come back. I think she's got something."
Grimshaw took Mason Noise, Che Chesterman and Seann Miley Moore to the live shows yesterday, though his Judges' Houses segment was shown on Saturday's show.
The Radio 1 DJ admitted that he knew who he was going to drop on Saturday, which made it harder to break the bad news to unfortunate three Josh Daniel, Ben Clark and Simon Lynch.

Nick Grimshaw has been asking Lily Allen and Adele for tips on 'The X Factor'.

There was trouble on The X Factor tonight as contestant Mason Noise was booed after getting through to the live shows.
Noise was judge Nick Grimshaw's first choice for his Boys category, but the decision didn't go down too well with the audience, who were quick to boo the singer.
X Factor: Nick Grimshaw sends Mason Noise, Ché Chesterman and Seann Miley Moore to live shows
Despite hosts Olly Murs and Caroline Flack calling for the jibes to stop, the crowd were keen to show their anger towards Noise.
The backlash against the singer comes after he criticised the show's editing of his audition while at the Six Chair Challenge, before dropping his mic and storming off the stage.
But on tonight's The Xtra Factor Grimshaw promised viewers that Noise will win people over once the live shows start.
"Successful artists always polarise," he said, comparing Noise to Kanye West and Justin Bieber.

The X Factor might have kicked off Judges' Houses last night in a two-and-a-half hour extravaganza - but there's still some work to be done. While Simon Cowell and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini can sit back and relax, there are still two categories yet to be decided.
That's right: Nick Grimshaw still needs to choose his Top 6 Boys, and we'll also see the Girls performing for Rita Ora and Meghan Trainor in an attempt to make it through to the live shows. It's going to get intense, people.

We can all breathe a sigh of relief - X Factor hopeful Mason Noise has revealed that he has made up with Simon Cowell.
The pair did not get on well at the Six Chair Challenge, as Simon called Mason an "arsehole" for complaining about his lack of air time during the auditions.
In fact, Mason literally dropped the mic and walked off stage - but he was given a second chance at the competition when Tom Bleasby withdrew from the Boys category before Judges' Houses.

The X Factor takes us all to Judges' Houses this weekend, as the Top 24 contestants battle it out for a place in the live shows. And Nick Grimshaw swept his top six Boys off to the Cotswolds, where they performed for guest judge Mark Ronson (and posed for some rather snazzy pictures):
1. Ben Clark - 25, Coventry
Who? Ben Clark - who works as a night-time receptionist - performed 'Here Without You' by 3 Doors Down in his first audition and has impressed the judges ever since with his rocky voice.
He says: "I do think that I'm different in terms of my voice to the rest of the people in the competition, as there are some really talented powerful singers, but I feel like mine has a huskier, rocky tone."

The X Factor's Mason Noise has revealed that he is hoping to get through to the live shows to change the public's perception of him.
Mason was initially thrown out of the Six Chair Challenge when he had an on-stage row with Simon Cowell, but was given a second chance by the Boys' mentor Nick Grimshaw when Tom Bleasby withdrew from the competition.
He has now said that he's determined to get to the live shows to show the public what he's really about.
"It would mean that I have the opportunity to show the public a different side to me and change the perception that they have of me from that one audition," he explained.

The 37-year-old hopeful from Leeds got the audience on their feet with her rendition of Aretha Franklin's 'Respect' and will now head to Judges' Houses with Cowell and guests judge Louis Tomlinson.
Despite being in the Overs category, she still shared her views on Nick Grimshaw controversially bringing back Mason Noise to his Boys' section to replace Tom Bleasby - despite Mason being booted off the show last weekend after complaining of not having enough airtime.

Never say The X Factor is always the same. Just last week, Nick Grimshaw was smugly grinning about how strong his category was - only to discover to his horror that the opposite was true. And last night, Simon Cowell was disgusted to be mentoring the Overs... only to find out that actually, they were full of talent.
The problem with Grimshaw's Six Chair Challenge was that with little talent on offer, at least at first, the stakes didn't feel too high - it was only when the (now reinstated) pantomime villain Mason Noise appeared that the drama level got ratcheted up.
It was a similar story with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, whose Groups were squeezed into the end of last week's episode and the beginning of Sunday's, with no real events to speak of (the closest we came was with Silver Tone and Bekln, connected by a brother and sister in...

After three weeks of chair-swapping drama, the Six Chair Challenge finally concludes this evening. All that's left is for Cheryl to finish choosing her groups and then for Simon to tackle the Overs category.
Throughout the competition Simon has been less than enthusiastic about mentoring the Overs, and according to what we've heard, he's still pretty grumpy this evening. So we're sure that all the chair-swapping's going to be as brutal as ever.

Mason Noise will return to replace departing contestant Tom Bleasby on The X Factor.
Nick Grimshaw confirmed the news this morning on Radio 1.
On his breakfast show, the host and Boys' category judge said of Bleasby's decision to quit: "That left us with the decision of what to do. Do we go to Judges' Houses tomorrow with five boys, or do we bring one back?
"So we decided, and I spoke to the boy [in question] last night, we're bringing one back. I rang him last night and I spoke to him about it.
"It had to be Mason. I'm bringing back Mason Noise. I just thought he was exciting."
When asked about how Simon Cowell would react, Grimshaw hesitantly said: "I don't... sure, why not?
"If he kicked off and wasn't talented, he'd be out the door. But he can really, really sing, and he's a performer and an entertainer, and for me,...

Yep, nine acts lost out on a seat at the Six Chair Challenge - but could one of them now be in with a shot? And if so, who would you want to return? Shouty troublemaker Mason Noise? Nervy teen Nathanael Landskroner? Or former footballer Ollie Marland?

Seann Miley Moore's show-stopping rendition of Shirley Bassey's ' I (Who Have Nothing)' got all four judges up on their feet for a standing ovation on last night's X Factor.
The 24-year-old Australian hopeful sailed through the Six Chair Challenge and into mentor Nick Grimshaw's Boys Category for Judges' Houses, along with Ben Clark, Che Chesterman, Josh Daniel, Simon Lynch and Tom Bleasby.
But there was a spot of controversy and drama when fellow contestant Mason Noise complained about his lack of airtime and received a dressing down from Simon Cowell.
Speaking to Digital Spy about what he thought of the act and his behaviour, Moore recalled: "Well, you can see from my reaction I didn't know where to look, I didn't know what was going on. He was so talented, he really had something going on.
"When I saw him on stage I was like, 'Yeah,...

Mason Noise could be set to replace Tom Bleasby on 'The X Factor'. The outspoken hopeful dropped his microphone and stormed off stage during the Six Chair Challenge following a row with Simon Cowell and although that saw him miss out on a place at Nick Grimshaw's Judges' Houses, he could now be set to return following 19-year-old Tom's decision to quit the show. A source told Mirror Online: ''It could be Mason, it could be Nathaniel ... It could be any one of them. No decision [has been] made on this yet. As it stands - they could go with Nick...

The X Factor's Six Chair Challenge was a tough watch last week. With some serious talent, the stakes for Rita Ora and her Girls really did feel high.
That wasn't so much the case this time around.
The problem with the Six Chair Challenge is that it's difficult to edit it much - the producers are tied to a certain extent by whether anyone is sitting in the chairs (and who is sitting in the chairs). So when Nick Grimshaw began his category all confident and got slowly ground down by the lack of talent on offer, there wasn't much the producers could do but play it out as it was.
