2011 Week 8 X Factor Quarter Final: Contestants to sing two songs each

 Tonight we learnt that in next weeks X Factor quarterfinals, the remaining contestants will sing two songs a piece.

With the departure of Craig Colton tonight, the final five – Janet Devlin, Little Mix, Msiha B and Marcus Collins – will all have to up their game if they want to make it through to the semi finals.

They will also have something else to worry about too, because in this next round the judges traditionally loose their right to save an act from leaving the competition, so every vote will really count next week end.

Speaking on Xtra Factor, Gary Barlow teased that he had a “big surprise” in store for Marcus – the only boy left in the competition – this weekend!

The show’s theme will be revealed later on in the week.
