2011: X Factor song choice for week 3 live shows

Last week the final 12 became the final 11 when boyband Nu Vibe was shown the door by the judges having failed to impress in the sing-off.

This week the final 11 will perform songs with a Rock theme. Our eyes will be on Frankie Cocozza to see if he will survive another week. Gary Barlow has expressed his concerns in the past about the strengths of Cocozza’s vocals, and I have to say we agree with him. However, Cocozza does have star quality and it will be interesting to see if that is enough to see him through this competition.

The songs we have been informed of that the contestants will perform this week are:

Misha Bryan Purple Rain by Prince.
Craig Colton Stop Crying Your Heart Out by Oasis.
The Risk Tick Tock (by Kesha) into Push It (Salt N Peppa).
