We have learned from TV Line that the theme of this week’s The X Factor USA will be Michael Jackson week. The remaining top 7 will be covering tunes from the Michael Jackson’s songbook. Left in the top seven are Melanie Amaro, Drew Ryniewicz, Rachel Crow, Astro, Marcus Canty, Chris Rene, and Josh Krajcik and they will be competing head-to-head while channeling their inner MJ!
This week will also be another double elimination week, where two contestants will get the boot, taking us down to the top five. The X Factor USA Top 7 airs this week on Wednesday’s on Fox at 8 PM EST.
Thursday’s results-show will feature guest performer British rap star Tinie Tempah performing his latest hit “Pass Out.”No surprise, because Tinnie Tempah is on Simon Cowell’s Syco record label. Tinie Tempah had his U.S. breakthough in 2011 with his song “Written in the Stars” which was a No. 12 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
We can’t wait to find out who’s going to be performing which Michael Jackson song. Will anyone moonwalk? I wonder how Astro is going to put his own spin on one of Michael Jackson’s songs and turn it into a hip hop one? Sound out in the comments below and let us know your thoughts? Who are you rooting for?
