OneRepublic and Ed Sheeran performed on tonight’s X Factor for Week 3 of the ITV show results episode.
This evening was something of a treat as OneRepublic are not reality TV regulars, unlike the adorable Ed Sheeran.
Perhaps show boss Simon Cowell had some tender persuading for the delight of celebrity performances.
X Factor contestant Ben Haenow was also very excited to meet the group’s frontman, Ryan Tedder, after he tweeted the picture above alongside, “Awesome meeting you Ryan @OneRepublic #legend #inspiration.”
Both acts performed some light relief from who Dermot O’Leary was to be evicted out of Only The Young and Jake Quickenden, who were left in the bottom two.
Before the group and Jake performed for their fight to stay in the singing competition OneRepublic performed to promte their new tune I Lived.
Earlier this year it was announced as the sixth single from album and was originally planned to be released as the fifth single but was scrapped in favor of “Love Runs Out”.
The band tweeted their fans this week saying: “We’re back in town this Sun to perform the new single I LIVED on X-Factor. It’s taken from our album NATIVE” “Back in London – @TheXFactor tonight ‘erwego.”
What did you think of their and Ed’s performance?
