X Factor Tie Watch - Live Show 6 Weekend

Lloyd Daniels may have been forced to sing-off on tonight's The X Factor results show, but he was still the weekend's winner in our eyes.

Yes, you've guessed it the Welsh singer wore a tie for his performance. A skinny tie in fact. You may also have been mesmerised by Lloyd's red and black checked shirt. It certainly caught our eye as not only do we think it was one heck of a shirt... we also have the black and red checked skinny tie and cap to match!

See you next week for more exciting X-Factor tie news.

X Factor Tie Watch - Live Show 5

Olly Murs clearly took heed of our advice from last week and wore a tie for tonight's live show. Murs donned a black skinny tie as he performed the old classic 'Twist and Shout'.

It was a skinny tie night as host Dermot O'Leary and Irish judge Louis Walsh watched on with thin ties around their necks. We thought Louis looked particularly suave in a super skinny tie.

The X Factor - Louis Walsh Smartens His Act Up For Results Night

Louis Walsh has clearly been reading the Ties Planet blog. It seems more than plausible to us that the Irishman read our post last night and understood our disappointment at Dermot O'Leary being the only person to wear a tie for Saturday's show.

Louis wore a skinny tie for tonight's results show. A sure fire sign that our blog does make a difference to men's style!

It wasn't such a smart night for young singer Rachel Adedeji as she had to leave show. Rachel received the fewest public votes despite receiving positive feedback from the judges during Live Show 4.

We'll be back next week to see how many ties are on show in Live Show 5!

X Factor Tie Watch - Live Show 4

Only presenter Dermot O'Leary came out of the fourth live show of X Factor 2009 with any credit this evening. The Ties Planet team were sad to see O'Leary was the only person who saw it appropriate to dress up and wear a tie for the blockbuster show.

Dermot looked dapper as always in a plain skinny tie. Should you want to look equally smart, Tiesplanet.com has a huge range of skinny and narrow ties for you to choose from.

Oh, and just a quick word for Olly Murs... please keep the chest hair out of sight next week! It's not like you don't have plenty of ties to choose from at Tiesplanet.com!

X Factor Tie Watch - Live Show 1

The Ties Planet team's eyes were wide open last night as the first live show of this year's X Factor competition took place. As usual we were keen to see which smart chaps (or indeed chapesses) wore ties.

It was a Robbie Williams influenced night with Olly Murs and John & Edward making it into our good books. 25 year old singer Murs wore a square-end skinny tie for his performance of She's The One.

Controversial duo John & Edward pleased us also (or at least one of them did) by sporting a fetching skinny tie for their version of Rock DJ. Will they survive tonight's first public vote though?

Host Dermot O'Leary as usual looked smart in fitted suit and skinny tie... and to top off an excellent evening's viewing, the star of the show, Simon Cowell wore a sharp wide black silk tie.

X-Factor - 'Piano Tie Tony' Is Back

X-Factor fanatics may remember 2005 auditionee, Anthony Little. Name doesn't ring a bell? Well, he was more famously known as 'Piano Tie Tony' due to his choice of neckwear for the ITV show audition.

'Piano Tie Tony' wore a rather distinctive white jacket and piano tie on the show in 2005. This didn't help him get through to the next round though, resulting in an argument between Anthony and judge Simon Cowell. Little told the music mogul, “(he) had made the wrong decision and that he should change his mind”, to no avail.

Imagine Cowell's shock when Anthony walked through the X-Factor audition doors again this year... again wearing the piano tie! Little did take the tie off before he performed this time round, but again did not make it past the first stage.

You can read the full story here.

Now that 'Piano Tie Tony' has become simply 'Tony', if you like his tie, then maybe you could offer to buy it from him.

Alternatively, we have ties very much like the one he wore... Ties Planet Tie like 'Piano Tie Tony's'

Louis' and Sean's Ties are Same Difference on X-Factor

Same Difference may not be a favourite of Louis Walsh on X-Factor, but one thing they do agree on is the wearing of a smart black tie.

On tonight's show Walsh, 55 wore a regular width black silk tie with black shirt, whilst Sean Smith, 21 of brother/sister act, Same Difference wore a skinny black tie as part of his fashionable look. The duo performed their version of Scissor Sisters' hit 'I Don't Feel Like Dancin''

Host Dermot O' Leary completed the tie-wearing on tonight's show with a slim tie of his own.
