The X Factor 2017 week 1 live show song choices revealed

Following weeks of whittling down thousands of hopefuls, The X Factor reaches the business end of the competition this week as the live shows begin.

With a shortened run of only 6 weeks, the 16 finalists (four of which will be revealed on the show tomorrow when the Wildcard vote result is announced) will battle it out to keep their place in the competition. For the first time ever, not all contestants will be singing on the same night.

Simon Cowellā€™s Groups and Nicole Scherzingerā€™s Overs will perform on Saturday and Louis Walsh’s Boys and Sharon Osbourne’s Girls will perform on Sunday night.
