Adele Is Up For An 'X Factor' Duet... But There's One Condition

It’s fair to say that the ‘X Factor’ final duets have been somewhat lacklustre in recent years, but that could all be about to change, as Adele has revealed that she's up for performing with one of this year’s finalists.
However, the ‘Hello’ singer has got one condition for show boss Simon Cowell - the hopeful can’t be rubbish.

Speaking about whether she would appear on ‘The X Factor’, she told Kiss Fm’s Ricky and Melvin: "It would have to depend on who's in the final.
"It depends who's in it. If they're rubbish, then no, I won't.”
However, the singer admitted she would liked to have teamed up with previous contestant Ella Henderson in 2012 if she had reached the final.
"There was Ella Henderson, I used to like. But she didn't make it at the time,” she explained.
“I mean, I was pregnant so I wouldn't have done it. But like, if she was in it this year and she was in the final, I would probably do it with her."

Ella Henderson
Adele was vocal of her support for Ella when she was competing on the show, but the hopeful made an early exit from the competition in a shock elimination, losing out to eventual winner James Arthur when the vote went to Deadlock in week seven.
Ella has gone on to achieve success though, with a number one album and several top 10 singles.
She also returned to duet with Andrea Faustini in last year’s ‘X Factor’ final, while Ben Haenow sang with Ed Sheeran and Fleur East collaborated with Labrinth.
While they were all good performances, they certainly didn’t come close to this golden ‘X Factor’ moment:
So come on Adele, we are counting on you.

What can we expect?(03 of04)

If ‘19’ and ‘21’ were break-up records, this is (in her words) Adele’s ‘make-up’ album. She’s in a very different place since she released the 30 million-selling ‘21’ in 2011. Four years on and she’s given birth to her son Angelo and hibernated to spend plenty of QT with him and her partner (and Angelo’s dad), Simon Konecki. So there’s been no heartbreak (as far as we know) but plenty of growing up, as Adele so beautifully put in her open letter to fans, which she shared on social media on 21 October...
Has anyone heard the entire album yet?(04 of04)

Well Adele most certainly has. And a select few senior record company peeps, but that’s pretty much it. No one wants to risk what is going to be the biggest album of the next few years leaking, so security around this release is tighter than Amanda Holden’s forehead. Even Adele’s famous mates haven’t heard it, although Ed Sheeran recently claimed he knew friends who had and they were ‘really complimentary’. The same can’t be said for Damon Albarn. The Blur frontman worked on five tracks for the album at Adele’s request, none of which have reportedly made the final cut. He later described what he had heard as ‘very middle of the road’.
