We’re finally here! It’s mid October which can only mean two things, the X-Factor live shows and two, it’s nearly Christmas.
Following the very dramatic events at judges’ houses last week, the 12 finalists will take to the stage tonight to sing some 80’s classics in the first of the live shows.

Most of the song choices are pretty good but we are particularly looking forward to Sam Bailey singing the Power of Love and the wonderful Hannah Barrett taking on the Tina Turner classic What’s Love Got To Do With It?.
However, we’re not really sure Nicholas McDonald singing True will give him the ability to show off his vocal range.
We shall see tonight!
Here is the list in full.
