It takes a brave X Factor contestant to cover Radiohead and Emily Middlemas proved she was up for the challenge on Saturday night.
The youngster covered their hit single Creep during the show’s Halloween special and ended the emotional performance in tears.
Her moving version sparked a lot of attention on social media.
Some viewers really enjoyed the song.
What an awesome version of a Radiohead classic! #creep Never ever thought I'd say that of something I'd seen on #XFactorFrightNight
