X Factor, Ep. 2.7

Bootcamp, pt. 2: The 60 remaining acts get paired up and must duet against each other. They get to decide on the song. Both could make it, neither could make it or only 1 might make it.

Jennel vs Tara
Jennel lets Tara bully her into a song she wasn't comfortable with. I'm rooting for Jennel all the way! Jennel's nerves started to show at the beginning, but I still thought it was pretty. Tara does way too many runs, and gets overly emotional. Simon rightly says the song wasn't right for either of them and even said he felt sorry for Jennel. This better not get her eliminated.

Carly Rose vs Beatrice
They are just so cute! Beatrice has a really quirky voice that matches the song. Carly is just so special, she completely stole the show with her originality at the end. Love her!

Vino vs David
I like both of these guys a lot, especially Vino. Both were really good. For some reason Vino felt like he really messed up, but he didn't! He shouldn't be so hard on himself.

Diamond vs Dinah
Why do they keep putting all my favorites up against each other? A very odd choice to slow down Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger". It started out a little too low for Dinah. But in the end, they are both great.

Jeffrey vs ?
Can I just say how much I love Jeffrey! That guy is amazing! Apparently he outshined his partner, because they didn't even show his part of his song...whoever he was. And they sang "If I Die Young"...very interesting choice, but it was really amazing.

Willie vs Tate
The country boys. Don't know why, but I love Willie. Oh no! He completely forgot the lyrics! That's a big no-no, especially at this stage. That's a shame, because he's really good. For country, Tate is good as well.

Arin vs Normani
I don't remember Normani from before, but she's good. I've never been totally impressed with Arin. I definitely don't think they should have slowed down the song like that. Unlucky for Arin, Simon still wants to put him in a group like ladt year.

Latasha vs Jillian
I don't remember Latasha, but of course remember Jillian the girl who was bullied. Oops, Latasha has another case of "forgot-the-lyrics". But not Jillian, she rocks it! Then Latasha continues to embarass herself by having a meltdown.

Freddie, Jessie, Nick, One4five, Jordan--they all forgot the words! Apparently it's going to come down to whether or not you can just get through a song. I guess it really proves who's ready to handle the pressure and who's not!

Paige vs Cece
My question about Cece is answered! She was filmed drawing hundreds of leopard spots all over her leg! What is up with that? She might as well get tattooed if she is going to look like that for every performance. Paige backed down and let Cece pick the song. Risky move. And it pays off for Cece, as Paige goes first, starts way too low and messes up the lyrics. However, Cece is a little shakier thsn she normally is, but ends the song strong. Unfortunately, the singer who ends the song has the most opportunity to wow.

Can't wait to see which ones make it, which ones don't, and which groups the judges are going to coach. Please let Simon do the guys this year! LA really screwed the pooch on the guys group last year. He picked all the right guys up until the last cut, and then he chose all the wrong ones. He cut so many of my favorites, that I will never forgive him!
