LOL! Nicole’s misheard song lyrics leave X Factor fans in HYSTERICS
When it comes to Christmas anthems, East 17’s classic ‘Stay Another Day’ is up there with the best of them.
So when we heard X Factor’s 5 After Midnight were performing the 1994 hit this weekend, we knew we were in for a treat.
Well, not everyone was so excited with Nicole Scherzinger admitting she had never heard of the song before last night’s semi-final.
Nicole said she was confused about British Christmas traditions after mishearing the lyrics “stay now” for “steakhouse”.
“I thought you were singing about a steakhouse. I was like ‘they love a steakhouse at Christmas here’.”
Viewers were quick to share their thoughts on her interpretation saying:
“How has Nicole never heard East 17?”
Sorry, how has Nicole Scherzinger never heard East 17's Stay Another Day?????? #xfactor

Nicole Scherzinger mishearing "stay now" from Stay Another Day for "steak house" is why she's an #XFactor must.
Still larfing!
