They began by growling their way through the opera classic “O Fortuna”, alarming the judges, before switching gears mid-performance to cover a metal version of Britney Spears’ 2004 hit “Toxic”.
Simon Cowell noted that the choir’s red and black costumes referenced the 1976 supernatural horror film “The Omen”.
