There's a very interesting twist coming for X Factor Live shows!

We like the sound of this!

To shake things up on this year's live stage of The X Factor the producers have come up with a new concept.

In previous years viewers would only find out what theme the contestants would have to focus on the week before but this is about to change.

The show is about to introduce the mechanical jukebox, a new system for the final 12 to find out that week's theme.

Every Sunday after an act has been eliminated, host Dermot O'Leary will be joined on stage by a special guest each week who will spin the jukebox and reveal the theme for the next weekend.

This weekend is the first live show of this series and the theme is Express Yourself. The contestants will be performing songs that express their personalities.

Other themes in the mix for this series are Boy Band versus Girl Band, Oscars, Disco, 80s, Divas, Motown, and Louis Loves (the Louis Walsh collection).

The final 12 contestants are:

Overs: Honey G, Relley C, Saara Aalto.

Boys: Matt Terry, Freddy Parker, Ryan Lawrie.

Girls: Emily Middlemas, Sam Lavery and Gifty Louise.

Groups: Bratavio, Brooks Way, 5 After Midnight

Catch the X Factor this weekend on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th at 8pm on ITV or TV3.
