‘The X Factor’ UK spoilers: Saara Aalto, Four of Diamonds, Honey G song choices for Fright Night
Unfortunately, after looking at all of the choices, we do certainly think that there are a few stretches in here. We understand that this is not necessarily the easiest theme in the world to match up songs to, but you could do a little bit better than this … right?
Matt Terry: Nina Simone – I Put a Spell on You. Love this choice. There’s a ton of passion that can be put into it, and that’s a great thing given that one of the most difficult things about some of these songs is that it’ll be hard to get that sort of edge into them.
Ryan Lawrie: Backstreet Boys – Everybody. Really? We don’t know all of the lyrics to the song, but we’re pretty sure we don’t think of Halloween when we hear it on the radio.
Emily Middlemas: Creep – Radiohead. To a certain extent, this makes sense. Let’s just hope that this is a stripped-down arrangement as opposed to some huge, booming number that ends up swallowing her whole.
Sam Lavery: Bonnie Tyler – Total Eclipse of the Heart. REALLY don’t get this one as a Halloween song at all.
Gifty Louise: Fifth Harmony – I’m In Love With a Monster. It’s Syco synergy, and if that wasn’t enough for you, this song is also from “Hotel Transylvania 2.”
Honey G: Will Smith – Men in Black. This will probably be a lot like her “Ice, Ice, Baby” performance: Pretty cheesy, and she’ll probably only sing / rap a certain percentage of it.
Saara Aalto: Lady Gaga – Bad Romance. Love the choice. It has a ton of vocal theatrics to it, and it will allow her to show off some of her quirky sense of style.
5 After Midnight: Michael Jackson – Thriller. Typically, we’d be wary about anyone covering Michael Jackson. Not here.
Four of Diamonds: Ella Henderson – Ghost. Good song, but how you make this solo song into one for four singers remains to be seen.
