The X Factor is set to take on some Big Band classics on tonight’s (November 17) live show, and we now know exactly which ones.
Following on from Movie Week last week, the contestants will now be trying their hands at some big (and not so big) tunes of the genre.
From the Girls, Bella Penfold will sing that well-known big band classic (ahem) ‘Strong’ by London Grammar, which will include an original rap too, while Scarlett Lee will tackle ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You’ by Frankie Valli.
Shan Ako, meanwhile, will sing the Billie Holiday staple ‘Summertime’.
Anthony Russell from the Boys will do Bobby Darin’s ‘Beyond the Sea’, and Brendan Murray will tackle ‘Say Something’ by A Great Big World. As for Dalton Harris, he will take on Beyonce’s ‘Listen’.
The remaining Group, Acacia & Aaliyah, will be doing an original song called ‘Act Our Age’, and final Over Danny Tetley will sing Frank Sinatra’s classic ‘My Way’.
Meanwhile in The X Factor land, former judge Sharon Osbourne has weighed in on The X Factor‘s falling ratings and pointed the finger at Simon Cowell.
“Unfortunately, not out of malice, but I am only saying this because Simon’s quote thinks it is funny, that the figures have dropped, and dropped and dropped through the course of the show,” Sharon said.
“I am not saying it was all me at all, but [it’s because of] his decision to change the show again and again and again.”
The X Factor continues tonight (November 17) at 8.10pm on ITV.
