X Factor 2011 Spoilers: Week 4 theme revealed – Halloween Fright Night!

Next week’s X Factor live show will be a Halloween special!

Dermot O’Leary revealed on tonight’s live results show that the show will feature songs to fit with a ‘Fright Night’ theme, so expect at least one person to get landed with singing Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller.’

True to form, Louis Walsh has revealed that he is planning to mix things up a bit and instead of giving Johnny Robinson another crazy performance, he is going to choose a plain old ballad for the weird and wacky show.

Speaking on The Xtra Factor, he said:

I don’t think Johnny can get any camper but next week I’m going to let him just sing. I’ve got a big song, a romantic song and Johnny is going to show his voice so watch this space.

Craig Colton will be taking his performance in compeltely the other direction and on tonight’s Xtra Factor admitted:

It’s definitely uptempo next week.

Kitty Brucknell will sing Eurythmics’ song ‘Sweet Dream’s and has promised an incredibly ‘different’ and ‘darker’ performance.

Janet Devlin has teased that her song will be a well known number, with her own twist on it. Craig Colton revealed that his song choice is very risky and Marcus Collins will be performing a mash-up.

X Factor bosses ran with a Halloween theme this time last year and on their spooky special, Wagner sang ‘Bat Out Of Hell,’ Mary Byrne sang ‘Could It Be Magic’ and Matt Cardle gave a chilling rendition of ‘Bleeding Love.’ You can check out the full 2010 songlist here.

  7. RRTT says:

    @Danny Roberts

    NOOOO! Do NOT have Craig ruin a wonderful song like Disturbia!!!
    I agree with Rhythmix LTWYL, Misha B with Disturbia or Kitty – them two would do it justice!

    OH No, johnny & ballad = Stay, he is goin to insult Cher Lloyd by failing at a song that she sang to perfection last year – i hope its not that!

  8. Susan says:

    Here is a list of song’s ideally for the night :::: Bad, Thriller, The way you make me feel, Ghosts, All night long, Dancing in the dark, There’s a ghost in my house, Bat out of hell,

  9. Orlaith says:

    Janet’s voice is too weak for Zombie. A classic song that should only be kept for a strong voice like Dolores O’Riordans!!!

  10. StC says:

    Rhythmix should definitely do Glee’s mashup of ‘Thriller/Heads Will Roll’ it would be massive!!

  11. JJ says:

    Janet = Stairway To Heaven!!!!!!!!

  12. NA says:

    Oh my god Rythmix doing Thriller/Heads Will Roll would be EPIC!

  13. Gavin says:

    Janet would smash zombie she’s got more than a strong voice

    • tina says:

      a strong voice when is this going to appear!!!! another diana vickers!!! and wot has happened to her !!

  14. jALIA says:

    janet – evanescence

  15. hello says:

    no janet would be able to do a unique rendition of zombie …..obviously wouldn’t be better than the original…..sophie would do zombie well??
    i think misha b would do GOING UNDER by evanescence brilliantly or lithium
    or sophie can sing dirty diana by MJ
    also frankie would do WE CRY by the script good or do a cover of LOOSE YOURSELF by eminem like the script did ….it would be hard but it would definatley show if he’s a good diner or not!!

  16. noodlebrains says:

    frankie cocozza should sing ‘im a wierdo’ by ‘radioheads’ it describes him really well :D

  17. missindividuality says:

    Sophie – Zombie by Cranberries
    Janet – Bring me to life, Evanescence
    Misha B – Bad, Michael Jackson
    Rhythmix – Thriller, Michael Jackson
    Craig Colton – Disturbia, Rihanna (it wouldnt suit him, but he said he was doing uptempo this week, so…)
    Marcus – dont know…
    Johnny – total eclipse of the heart, bonnie tyler
    Kitty – Mad World, tears for fears
    The Risk – ET katy Perry???? i dont know…

    and i just thought of one for Frankie “Creep” By Radiohead the lyrics fit him perfectly XD

  20. graham says:

    i think the above suggestions are brill janet should sing stay i think it would be great come on janet

  21. LoraB says:

    Kitty – Evanecsance Bring Me To Life
    Rythmix – Glee Mash Up Thriller/Heads Will Roll
    Misha B – Lady Gaga Born This Way
    Sophie – Beyonce – Countdown
    Johnny – Total Eclipse Of Heart
    Marcus – Rihanna Disturbia
    Craig – Katy Perry ET
    The Risk – Eminem/Rihanna Love way u Lie
    Frankie … Couldn’t care less!!

  22. Dan Carney says:

    Carolynne would sing something from the rocky horror picture show

    • Silvio says:

      And Silvio will sing Blinding, from Florence + the Machine. Why do I say this? Because what I would sing and what Carolynne would sing have the same relevance in the competition. That is, zero.

  23. Alex says:

    My Immortal – Evanescence or Carry you home – James Blunt would be a perfect song choice for Janet…too bad she should go uptempo this week to heat up the competition – in this case Dog Days Are Over is another good choice – she can both sing and dance along in wierd costume.

  24. Jo Claridge says:

    I think if louis wants johnny 2 sing a ballad, he should sing witchcraft by Frank Sinatra.

  25. karmen says:

    btw what does love the way u lie have to do with halloween ? :/

  26. Gavin says:

    Janet is miles better than Diana vickers and the 2 can’t be compared her voice is unique and she’s the favourite for a reason,she has a great Celtic quality to her voice,oh and vickers has been successful to date with what she has released
