X Factor eliminee Sami Brookes has blamed her song choice for her exit.

Brookes, who was sent home by the judges in tonight's show, performed Cher's 'If I Could Turn Back Time' on last night's programme despite admitting that she was uncomfortable with the track.

Speaking on The Xtra Factor this evening, Brookes admitted that she thinks the songs chosen by her mentor Louis Walsh were unsuitable.

"I expected [my elimination] from last night's performance," she said. "I've got a lot more to give. I was given the wrong songs - I begged him, I cried. I didn't want to sing Cher."

Reminding viewers that she sang a Bruno Mars track at Boot Camp, she continued: "I'm current. I'm 30 years old, I'm not 70, so I was never given the right song choices. That I'm gutted about, but this is the best show, the biggest show. What a platform - what a stepping stone."

Brookes added that she is "very annoyed" about the song choice, though she "did what [she] could with it".

She also revealed that she would love to join the Loose Women panel or appear in the musical Blood Brothers and admitted that she will miss her fellow contestant Johnny Robinson, urging viewers to make him Christmas number one.

"And will someone make sure Janet Devlin and all the girls are getting their vitamins and someone's washing their clothes?" she said. "Because I worry about the girls."

So do you agree with Sami and think that a bad song choice was her downfall or do you think she would have left regardless of song choice?
