I dunno the definition of Modern but I'm gathering 2010 and after
I have a few suggestions

Abi - The Power Of Love - think it would sound beautiful
Nicholas - Beautiful Life (Union J song) - test his range and he has a similar tone to Josh ( one of UJ members)
Kingsland- Little Things - like to se them sing a ballad for once

That wouldn't be modern though, it's an 80s song. Would they consider covers as modern?

Gabrielle Aplin released a cover of it last December and it went to #1.

Gabrielle Aplin, it was on the John Lewis Christmas ad.

I was hoping she was going to do that last night. It would have been a much better choice.

Yeah, that's the one I mean. Would they consider it modern now it has been covered? I don't even know why I'm asking, they put Ke$ha into Rock Week haha.

It would make a ton more sense for Abi to do one of her own songs.

She did release an independent album last year so one of those songs would count as a modern love song I guess.

Thinking About you would be a great songchoice but could be a big risk as it isn't that well known on X Factor

I would love them to recite nursery rhymes, listen to the judges scripted responses and then see them all sitting in Graham Norton red chairs with the loser ejected backwards.

unfortunately you are probably right with that , which would be a shame as there are so many recent songs that could fall into this theme that aren't your clichéd ballads

Out of those two I think Luke but Birdy did a great cover in the Radio 1 livelounge. I can imagine Abi doing something similar with the piano.
