Why, the bloody hell, isn’t The X Factor Halloween themed this week?

Halloween week on The X Factor is the BEST week, as any fule know.

Who can ever forget Jedward doing Ghostbusters, Wagner’s take on* Bat Out Of Hell* and Johnny Robinson’s That Old Devil Called Love?

No one! No one can ever forget. So why oh why oh why oh WHHHHY isn’t this week, the week of The X Factor’s glorious return and actual Halloween, Halloween themed?

We are in a proper grump about this. Can you tell?

So… it looks as though some of the song choices have come out for this weekend. The theme, for some reason, is ‘This is me’ (whatever) and if The Xtra Factor is to be believed, we’ll be hearing the following from this lot:

Cheryl's group 4th Impact will be singing Ariana Grande's Problem

Boys category member Ché Chesterman is singing Ain't No Mountain High Enough ‘mashed up’ with Amy Winehouse track Tears Dry On Their Own

Simon Cowell's Overs act Max Stone is singing Adele's Someone Like You

Fellow Overs category act Anton Stephans is on Luther Vandross’s Dance With My Father

Lauren Murray, from Rita Ora's Girls, will be taking on Whitney's* I'm Every Woman*

Cheryl's second girl band, Alien Uncovered, are covering Jessie J's Do It Like A Dude

Nick Grimshaw's act Seann Miley Moore is doing David Bowie's Life on Mars

Official confirmation should come in later today. And maybe there will be a last minute theme switch to Halloween.

Maybe.

Please?
