Mariah Carey touted for UK “X Factor” Final?

Simon Cowell has reportedly signed up a host of famous faces to perform on this year’s X Factor shows.

Always keen to promote his own acts and brand, Syco singers Alexandra Burke, Olly Murs, Joe McElderry and Shayne Ward are all expected to make an appearance and Susan Boyle is said to be planning a return, to promote her new album “The Gift.”

Cowell is planning performances from Elton John and Mariah Carey on December’s final, and on earlier shows Westlife will perform their new single “Safe,” Take That will showcase their upcoming release “The Flood,” Michael Buble will appear (AGAIN) singing his new track “Hollywood” and JLS will return to the stage.

A source told Celebritain:

“Simon is going to pull out all the stops this year to ensure he tops last year’s record viewing figures. As this is the final UK X Factor until 2012, he’s also going to want to make sure it goes out with a bang.

With no shows like Top of the Pops any more, artist performances like this are a huge treat for viewers, and there are going to be a lot of surprises along the way”.
