'X Factor' finalists 'furious over songs'

Several X Factor finalists are reportedly unhappy with the songs that they will perform on tonight's show.

The Daily Star reports that acts including Katie Waissell, Aiden Grimshaw and One Direction are demanding last-minute changes because they are uncomfortable with their choices for Guilty Pleasures week.

A source said: "They want a change even though time is running out. They're threatening all sorts if the bosses don't back down."

Waissell is due to sing 'I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)' from The Jungle Book. The source added: "Katie is at her wits' end. It's a terrible choice. She thinks someone on high wants her out because they know the song is the kiss of death."

Meanwhile, Grimshaw is expected to perform the Shirley Bassey song 'Diamonds Are Forever' and One Direction will sing 'Nobody Knows' by Pink.

Matt Cardle is also said to be unhappy with his song choice of 'Baby One More Time' by Britney Spears, as is Wagner Carrilho, who will perform The Spice Girls' hit 'Spice Up Your Life'.

A show spokesman added: "The contestants work with expert teams to find songs that suit them, their voice and style, and they make many of their own suggestions also."
