‘The X Factor’ UK spoilers: What Andrea Faustini, Lauren Platt, Blond Electra, more will sing
Prior to the enormous (and suspected to be incredibly lengthy) performance show on Saturday, ITV announced the song choices for at least the 12 acts who have been confirmed to be a part in the competition at this point.
- Andrew Faustini – “Earth Song,” Michael Jackson.
- Jake Quickenden – “She’s the One,” Robbie Williams
- Paul Akister – “Ghost,” Ella Henderson
- Chloe Jasmine – “Toxic,” Britney Spears
- Lauren Platt – “Happy,” Pharrell Williams
- Stephanie Nala – “Everything I Own,” Bread
- Blonde Electra – “Kids in America,” Kim Wilde
- The eight-man boy band – “Roar,” Katy Perry
- Only the Young – “Jailhouse Rock / Twist n Shout” (medley)
- Ben Haenow – “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” Simon & Garfunkel
- Fleur East – “All About That Bass,” Meghan Trainor
- Jay James – “Changing,” Sigma
Out of these selections, the person who is probably poised to perform the most is Chloe, since you can do a cool, jazzy arrangement to the Britney hit pretty quickly. Jay should also have a nice moment, while Lauren is at least doing a good thing singing something current.
Meanwhile, Blonde Electra is going to be a mess with that song, and we also don’t know what this enormous boy band is doing singing a song that they may not relate to, beyond the “roar” being the sound of all their voices at once.
We’ll have to see what happens tomorrow when the show airs, but the one thing we’ll say right now is that we’ll have our full review up after it airs.
