A guilty pleasure can definitely be playing air guitar to Jimmy Page before your mom walks in to your bedroom.

I thought it was a great song choice. It definitely fits the category unlike One Direction's choice for example!!

There have been plenty of rubbish songs tonight, but other than brittany, I'm struggling to see how any of them qualify

I'm struggling to think of anything more embarrassing than owning a Led Zep CD.

I think it's a guilty pleasure because, given the type of song that she usually sings/likes to sing, Led Zeppelin is a totally different style.

I think it really worked for her tbh

I think the theme is stupid, because its so open for interpretation it has no clear border.

TBF, they're all entitled the their 'GUMO' moment!!

It worked for Simon last year, so they're all trying it this time around!!

Well the three hundred million plus people who do own their albums would disagree, me being one of them.

I wonder if we will still be talking about any of the Xfactor contestants in twenty years time....I suspect the answer will be no.

Ok u don't like them but don't disrespect them

One girl's meat is another girl's poison.

Glutton for punishment, huh?

But that's your idea of 'taste'. I'm sure you'd find plenty of similarly 'embarrassing' music in my collection, just as I'd probably find something stellar in yours.

Ok u don't like them but don't disrespect them
Why not?

I think having the lyric 'I want to be your back door man' may allow it that classification.

Oh my God! That would be like as totally embarrassing as buying a new phone, then finding out that Jeremy has a newer one, so you go to your Mom and say "Mom, Jeremy has a newer phone than I do and everyone will think I suck", and your Mom goes "never speak to me again you precious cretin", and you don't get your new phone, and your life totally sucks. Like forever.

I find it deeply offensive that we have someone like Cheryl Cole in this country who influences pop culture telling ignoramuses who dont know any better that Led Zepplin - one of the GREATEST bands of all time - that Whole Lotta Love is a guilty pleasure track!

Shameful.

That's what I thought too.

It must say something about the people involved in this show if they think that what they like and do is good quality music but listening to Led Zeppelin is somehow embarrassing.

You could say the same about several of the songs tonight as well. For me I just didn't see why they were supposed to be guilty pleasures.

In fact isn't every week of X Factor guilty pleasures week?
I would have thought so with most of the song choices week in week out.

Actually no. I take that back.

I couldn't care less what that vapid pointless day-glo orange car crash with her arse from elbow cultural critique thinks about Led Zepplin, or anything else for that matter.
