X Factor, Ep. 3.17

1st Elimination: Khaya Cohen
What?! Seriously? She was one of the better singers. I don't know why she didn't connect with the viewers.

In Jeopardy and Singing for Their Lives: Tim Olstad and Carlito Olivero

It's the battle of the boys...I kind of had a feeling it might come down to these 2. Tim started out very shaky and very off-pitch. He picked the perfect song. Again, he got stronger as the song went on. He ended very strong, but I think it could have been even better. I don't know if it's enough to change the mind of the judges who have been very critical of his performances since the very beginning. Carlito picked an interesting song, and I think he should have picked a Latino song, because that's when he really shines. The entire first half of the song was way too low, and was a little boring. Once he got to the chorus, it got much better. The second verse was also much better as the track picked up pace a little bit. He is definitely more of a performer than Tim, and that has been part of the judges' criticism of Tim.
