Each of the contestants will be singing a classic track accompanied by a 30 piece orchestra.

After last weekend’s twist latest elimination a total of eight acts now remain in the competition.

Cheryl and Mel B are now both down to just the one act but Simon Cowell still has all four of his Overs, including wild card Stevi Ritchie.

Once all have performed again tomorrow night the judges will each give their comments but it’ll be the public who once again decides which two hopefuls face elimination in the bottom two sing off on Sunday night’s results show.

Here’s the latest X Factor song list!

I thought Fleur would do Bang Bang like her choice and Lauren's song. Andrea, imo, wont be as good as Leona singing summertime.

Only the young ....you can imagine it will be done like they are part of CBeebies.

I think only the young will sing it like the Robbie Williams version on his swing album, I think its a good choice for them.

Andrea Faustini - Summertime (by Ella Fitzgerald)
Lauren Platt - Smile (by Nat King Cole)
Ben Haenow - Cry Me A River (by Michael Buble

Are the only ones that really fit the theme and are just a bit predictable imo

Big band arrangements can be applied to any tune, for good or ill. Strictly use a big band. Jules Holland has a big band. "Mack The Knife" got the treatment. "Frankie and Johnnie" got the same. It's been going on for more than 80 years.

As far as I'm concerned any tune goes, so long as there's a big band backing.

Not much of a theme and thankfully the majority of people don't agree with you

Leona & Fantasia (also Ruth) did an amazing job with it, so Simon might compare!

Fantasia doing Summertime is probably my favourite tv talent show performance of all time and no one has ever come close since imo
