What ever happened to big band week?
 

They used to have it every year and it used to be my favourite theme. For me, he best ever X-Factor performance came from big band week in series 3 - when Leona sang Summertime. This was the performance that put her as the front runner in many people's eyes.

Alexandra had a good big band week in her series too. She sang Candyman and although it didn't have the same impact as Leona's performance, it certainly made me pay a little more attention to her. She was slipping under the radar at the time.

Anyone think it should be reinstated? (especially given some of this year's themes - 'Love and Heartbreak' and 'Britain vs America :sleep:)

Yeah I would like it back

I hated big band week D; it was just an excuse to get Michael Buble to perform :suspect:

They realized it was awful and scrapped it

I loved Big Band week, I really loved when they reworked songs for it, it was magical.

I don't think they did it last year either did they?

I didn't like it anyway :laugh:

They realised Cher couldn't do it justice last year so scrapped it.

Not been seen since.
