X-Factor acts / finalists on Twitter

The X-Factor acts have all been given a twitter account and some have already got more followers than big named TV and pop stars.

We have already written about the good relationship Twitter and live TV has together, then if you mix in pop music and the younger audiences, then Twitter is the ideal medium for the X-Factor stars to interact with their fans. It’s also a pretty good way for us to see which one has the fan base to take this year’s crown.

If the number of X-factor finalist Twitter fans has anything to go by on who wins X-Factor, then the X-Factor finalist Frankie Cacozza with 166,000 Twitter fans after just the first week is looking a good bet. Frankie already has almost half the official X-Factor’s own Twitter fan numbers. Second place so far is Janet Devlin who after singing Cold Play in week one has charmed her fan base. What is surprising is 2Shoes with 34,000 followers, they were dropped after week one but still have very impressive numbers. The older performers and the groups are far behind the girls and boys in terms of numbers. If Twitter has anything to go by Rhythmix should watch their backs.

We’ll be tracking the X-Factor finalists twitter accounts throughout this year’s series and show their progress and fan numbers.
