It’s ‘Club Classics’ week on the semi-final of the X Factor, although you can expect that this will be interpreted as liberally as the themes usually are on the X Factor.
Mary – Never can say goodbye
Cher – Nothin’ On You
1 Direction – Only Girl (In The World)
Rebecca – Show Me Love
Matt – She’s Always A Woman
Both Matt Cardle and Mary Byrne are struggling with illness ahead of tomorrow’s X Factor semi-final it has been revealed.
We reported last week that Matt nearly missed the quarter finals, and it seems he still hasn’t recovered. He had to pull out of a Talk Talk secret gig earlier this week. Mary performed at the event, but that weakened her already troubled voice.
A spokesman for the show said: “”Matt was advised to rest his voice by doctors and so didn’t perform. Mary did sing but complained of a bad throat afterwards. At the moment we’re hoping they will be fit to appear but we just don’t know. It will be a disaster if they have to pull out.”
We understand that Mary is due to perform Never can say goodbye
It’s rock week this week on the X Factor, and because there are now less contestants, each will be singing two songs!
Here’s the final update on their song choices
Mary – All I Want Is You
Wagner – Creep
Cher – Walk This Way
Matt – I Love Rock N’ Roll
1 Direction – Summer Of ’69
Rebecca – I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Katie – Everybody Hurts
