Raquelle Gracie, 20, revealed that the group asked producers for a break from wearing skimpy outfits - because they want viewers to focus on their singing.
"We're actually wearing some clothes at last," Raquelle told the Manchester Evening News. "It's definitely good, because we're going to show that we can all sing as opposed to showing all our bodies."
She admitted that she had to apologise to her dad for the producers' wardrobe choices, while her boyfriend Gregory has been "OK as a boyfriend can be about his girlfriend being half naked on stage".
Simon Cowell described Hope as the "best group we've ever had on The X Factor", following their performance of 'Lady Marmalade' last week. Now the pressure is on for the group to impress him again with their rendition of Madonna's 'Hanky Panky' tonight.
"That was a seriously big compliment," Raquelle explained. "We were all shocked. We just want to live up to that now and show Simon that he did the right thing saying that. It's overwhelming."
