Good for her! Last Sunday night, Stacey Solomon made it through to the final 24 on UK’s X Factor. To read more about it, click here.
While Stacey is from Dagenham, Essex, we here in Ohio need to get behind her. Turns out Stacey has spent some time here in the Buckeye State, performing with other college students at Stuart’s Opera House and attending Hocking College—both in Nelsonville, Ohio. Think I’m lying? Click here to find out I’m not.
I’ve written about Stacey here before (where I misspelled her name—sorry, Stacey) and it continues to be one of our most popular posts, almost beating out that rant I did on Cadillac Ranch on Monday.
In my view, video clips are for sharing, but You Tube and X Factor apparently don’t feel that way when it comes to Stacey, but let me see what I can get away with.
Here’s a video that I don’t think is copyrighted. It shows Stacey talking to some morning teevee types after her first audition.
The next one is Stacey at X Factor’s boot camp. Yeah, pretty crappy video but it’s all I can get away with.
To get better clips, of course, go to You Tube.
I don’t normally get interested in talent shows and after this one is over, I’ll never do it again—but I can’t help but root for a single mother with a one year old son. Besides, Stacey has a lot of talent.
We’ll find out if she makes it through to the final 12 this coming Sunday night. I’ve got my fingers crossed.

Very good! Glad someone in the USA is following Stacey and x-factor.
I lived in England for a couple years, got caught up in this show while I was there.
Stacey is quite talented and could go all the way, but she needs to keep her nerves under control. At bootcamp, her voice seemed a bit shaky, still good enough to get to the final 24.
Sunday night will be a nail bitter for sure. I also want her in the final 12.
I went to youtube and watched some of the longer clips. She is really adorable but don’t know if her voice is strong enough.
Stacey is really good, but Lucy Jones is great. I think she will win it.
stacey, come to the cadillac ranch! get booted out before you even sing.
being mean, i know
If you had a music boot camp at Cadillac Ranch, if the general manager didn’t like the first act, the whole thing would be canceled!
I think you just like her legs.
She really does have a wonderful, clear singing voice and you got to love a 19 year old single mother. My fingers are also crossed for young Stacey.
Why do contestants put themselves through this? To give themselves nervous breakdowns?
“Why do contestants put themselves through this?”
Tom,
Fame? Money?
After watching so many of these talent shows, the one thing I will say about Stacy is she isn’t typical. I’d vote for her.
Stacey is very good but you look at the mail competation for this year, they are a bit better.
I have to admit that I watch ALL of these talent shows and I’m hocked. I download X factor all the time on my computer and it is my absolute favorite of all of them.
Stacey is a total breath of fresh air. I love her talking voice the way she sounds and then the way she sings! She hits every note perfectly. Yes I am hooked.
I so hope that on Sunday she makes it to the final 12.
I’ve looked through some of the other posts here. You’re pretty cool and I’ll be visiting.
Keep up promoting Stacey!!!
The rumor on the web is she does make it to the final 12.
Win or lose the X-Factor, Stacey will be a star, just like Susan Boyle. She’ll get a record deal, will start touring and will live the life she wants for her and her son. She’s great.
Stacey? A hot girl with a sweet voice that has my vote.
She’s just wonderful. I love her voice!
