Season 3 Finale Results:
3rd Place: Carlito Olivero
2nd Place: Jeff Gutt
WINNER: ALEX & SIERRA!!!!
Wow, I gotta say I'm a little shocked! However, I did just notice that Alex & Sierra have about 44,000 more fans on Facebook than Jeff does and they have over 147,000 more followers on Twitter, so...maybe it shouldn't be that much of a shocker. It was tough to tell because neither of them were ever in the bottom, so we couldn't truly judge their popularity. They are now the first act from the Groups category to not only make the top 2, but to win!
Either way, I'm so happy for them! Could those two be any cuter? Seriously! Someday, I would love to be in a relationship like what they have. They seem like such genuine people, like Simon kept saying. They are so deserving of this win. I just hope they can translate it into success. It's no secret that this show hasn't really cranked out the stars. Neither of the previous winners are doing anything. Last year's winner Tate Stevens was dropped from his label in August. Probably the biggest success of the show has been last year's 4th place act Emblem3. Fifth Harmony has seen a little success and so has Josh Krajcik and Chris Rene....but nothing like the success that American Idol contestants have had.
I hope that someone signs Jeff Gutt RIGHT NOW! Please don't let this guy slip through the cracks.

X Factor, Ep. 3.24
Carlito Olivero (Boys-Paulina)
Performance #1: I love this song, and I love that he sang it with some parts in Spanish. He was amazing, and I loved it!
Performance #2: He performed with Prince Royce. I'd never heard of Prince Royce (which is shocking because I've usually at least heard of everyone). It was a really good performance, they sounded really good together.
Performance #3: He performs "Maria" again. This was one of my favorite performances of his the first time around. This performance didn't disappoint either.
Alex & Sierra (Groups-Simon)
Performance #1: I love when Alex plays the guitar. Beautifully done. Alex was AMAZING on his solo part! They are always so good when they sing together, but I love how good they are separate, too. Alex was so on fire on this song, wow!
Performance #2: They performed with Leona Lewis on her song "Bleeding Love". It was a little too slow for me. I didn't think it worked as good as I would have liked it to.
Performance #3: They perform "Say Something" again. I loved this performance the last time they sang it. It was absolutely beautiful, and they did the same this time. Love them!
Jeff Gutt (Over 25s-Kelly)
Performance #1:
Holy crap is he amazing! He picks the absolute best songs! I loved the laser lights, that was sick! Nothing else to say other than he rocked it! He even nailed the classic Steven Tyler scream at the end. Awesome! Every performance is better than the last.
Performance #2: He performs with John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls on the Goo Goo Doll's song "Iris". It wasn't the most phenomenal performance, but it was still really good...up until the end when something weird happened and they both messed up and didn't start singing when they should have. Not really sure what happened there. But boy did the judges LOVE IT!
Performance #3: He chooses to sing his audition song "Creep" again. I love this song, and I loved his performance of it the first time. He looks like such a rockstar, it's incredible!
Final Thoughts and Predictions
I could not be more in love with this final 3! For once, I think all 3 acts deserve to be in the final 3. I personally love all 3. That just never happens. I think all 3 deserve to win, not only because of the vocal skills and awesome performances, but also because they seem like really genuine, kind, and loving people. All 3 are amazing! I have loved Alex & Sierra and Jeff from the audition round, and they've lasted to the final round, and I couldn't be happier. Carlito came in as a dark horse, and in the middle of the competition, he just exploded and has been improving every week. He now shows real star quality.
This really could go to any of the 3 I think. Realistically, I don't know if Carlito can surpass either Alex & Sierra or Jeff, though. I think it's a little bit of a longshot. From the beginning, I've thought that Jeff has been the best performer, singer, and most consistent act who knew who he was from the beginning and made smart choices. He has performed so strong every single week, so I think he might have the slightest of edges. But it's in America's hands, and you never know how the votes are going to fall.
I really hope that this is the season that produces some legitimate stars. So far, the first 2 seasons have pretty much been duds. I really thought Carly Rose Sonenclar would go places because she was phenomenal, but I haven't seen or heard anything from her. I would love to hear all 3 of these acts on the radio. Someone please sign them!!!

X Factor, Ep. 3.23
For tonight's results show, the contestants are starting their campaign for the win.
The first act saved is Carlito Olivero! He performs "Suavemente Besame", and it is really good! He just keeps taking it up another notch with every performance. This could be his best performance yet. I don't care what anyone else says, I think he deserves to be in the finals. He has improved tremendously since the beginning and his performance level has been so good in the past several weeks.
The next act going to the finals is Alex & Sierra! Woohoo!! They are singing one of my favorite songs right now: "Let Her Go" by Passenger. Sierra was a little flat at the beginning, but they found their groove, and it was awesome!
And last but not least, Jeff Gutt is in the top 3!!!!!! Yes! I was a little scared there for a minute. I think it's Jeff's competition to lose, so I would have been absolutely shocked and devastated if he would have gone home. Jeff sings "Open Arms" and he slays it. This guy is ready for the big time. I'm so happy for him!
No disrespect to Restless Road, but they just were not up to the standards of the other 3 at this point in the competition. They had a good run, but they have some work to do. The top 3 are absolutely perfect. I'm so glad this is the 3 that made it. I can't believe America actually got it exactly right!

X Factor, Ep. 3.22
Each of the final 4 acts will be singing 3 times in the semifinals: a song picked by the public, a duel against another act, and a song they pick for themselves.
Carlito Olivero (Boys-Paulina)
America's Choice: Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend"
This was a great song choice for him. He did well with the rapping parts, and the singing parts were really good as well. I thought his dance moves were good, and it was a really good overall performance. I wasn't totally blown away, but I liked it.
Vs. Alex & Sierra
His first part was really soft, but he found his groove with his second go. Carlito had a really nice long note. He held his own, but I don't think he matched up.
Singer/Coach Choice
Marc Anthony's "I Need To Know" is a perfect choice for him. I love this song! His performance was awesome! I love this guy more and more every time he sings. His Spanish just really makes the performance. This guy deserves, and needs to be in the final.
Restless Road (Groups-Simon)
America's Choice: Luke Bryan's "That's My Kind of Night"
Wow, they are starting off really rough. Their harmony does not sound good at all, and the low guy seems really off. I of course hate the song choice, because it's about as country as you can get. At the 2nd time on the chorus it sounded a lot better. The performance ended up being a lot better than I thought it was going to be.
Vs. Jeff Gutt
They held their own on this rock song, and had some good harmonies. It was nice to hear "low guy" sing in a normal singing range. They provided nice background, but they were not strong enough on their own to overtake Jeff.
Singer/Coach Choice
Finally a country song I kind of like: However, deep voice guy ruined this song for me. I don't like their version as much as the original. Vocally, it was OK, but it was really, really boring. If they make it through to the final, it's only because little girls and country fans are voting them through...not because they are actually good enough to be there.

X Factor, Ep. 3.21
1st Elimination: Ellona Santiago (Girls-Demi)
Whoa! I did NOT see that one coming! I'm not too upset, but...wow. I thought she actually did better this week, she was actually growing.
Emblem3 Performance
Emblem3 showing why THEY should have won last season instead of that dumb country guy...whatever his name was. I have to say that I'm a huge fan of Emblem3 and their album is really good...check it out!
In Jeopardy: Rion Paige and Carlito Olivero
This is a perfect bottom 2, because it means that Jeff Gutt and Alex & Sierra are safe and are through to the semi-finals!!!! I thought Rion should have went last week, and I feel the same this week. I think Carlito is a little better. Rion is really good too, so no one is really the "loser" here.
I don't think Rion sang very well on her "save-me" song. Her high notes were really flat. Her voice did a lot of screeching. She seems to be doing a lot more of that lately. I don't remember that being such a problem early on in the competition.
Carlito has turned into such a performer. I think he did an awesome job with Usher's "You Make Me Wanna". He turned it into more of a performance, than a last-ditch "save-me" effort. It was just like any other performance, which I thought was really refreshing and shows that he knows what he's doing and is very comfortable and confident, and just wants to perform. He worked the stage and even went into the audience and sang to someone. And this wasn't a Latino song, which he hasn't done as well with in the past, but he killed it!
Judge's Send Home: Rion Paige (Girls-Demi)
Demi sends home Carlito
Paulina sends home Rion
Kelly sends home Rion
Simon sends home Rion
Top 4:
Jeff Gutt - Over 25s (Kelly)

X Factor, Ep. 3.20
Tonight, each act will perform twice. One regular song, with the theme of "Diva", then an unplugged, stripped version of a song, where the performance will be all about the vocals.
Restless Road (Groups-Simon)
Song 1: I like their harmonies at the beginning of the song. I always like their harmony better than when they sing alone. This is shaping up to be one of their best, most solid performances yet. Ooh, and look at that! They gave the cute guy with the best voice a bigger solo! Ugh, but then deep-voice guy comes in with an even longer solo, in which, you can't understand a word he's saying because his voice is too deep. Overall, I really liked the performance, even though their energy level was a little bit low. And it's even a song I've never heard before.
Song 2: This group, out of everyone I think, could have big problems with a stripped down version of a song, because 2 of the 3 often have pitch problems. I love this song, but I like it less as a country song. Yay, another extended solo for the cute, good singer (I wish I knew who was who). I don't like that they made the song so slow. It seemed to really drag. OK, so the deep singer gets a solo, and he sang in his regular voice. And like I've said before, his regular voice is so much better than singing in the basement! Overall, it was a really good performance, and they surprisingly had very good pitch and good harmony throughout the entire song. I also liked that they showed some emotion as well.
Rion Paige (Girls-Demi)
Song 1: Her pitch is a little off, and a little on the flat side. She also struggled on the lower notes. I think we've seen about as much as we're going to from her. She doesn't seem to be growing week to week. Her mediocre performances aren't going to be enough any more. She's talented and she's beyond her years, but there are better acts in the competition.
Song 2: Like Restless Road before her, she had the judges in tears. She gave a very real and heart-felt performance. It was beautiful. There were a couple of pitch issues again, but it was still really good.
Jeff Gutt (Over 25s-Kelly)
Song 1: For his diva song, he's taking on Mariah Carey. Jeff, out of all the acts this season, continues to take risks, and his risks pay off big time! He's such a rocker, but he can also show a softer, more vulnerable side. That's what he did with this song. He started out soft and then he built it up into his signature style. It was mind-blowing and amazing. He's so good, they just need to crown him the winner already, and just not bother with the rest of the competition. He continues to be in a league all his own; the others just can't come close. He's so ready for stardom!
Song 2: I love that he's playing the guitar! Sucker for a guy and a guitar--party of 1 right here :) Another display of his vulnerable and sensitive side. He still has a little bit of that grit we all love, but it's more subdued. I didn't recognize this song, but it didn't matter, because he did an amazing job singing it! He looked so great up there with his guitar. It was a completely different look and feel for him, and I loved it just as much as I love his signature rocker style.
Ellona Santiago (Girls-Demi)
Restless Road (Groups-Simon)
Song 1: I like their harmonies at the beginning of the song. I always like their harmony better than when they sing alone. This is shaping up to be one of their best, most solid performances yet.

X Factor, Ep. 3.19
Top 8 Results
Elimination #1: Lillie McCloud
It's a Thanksgiving miracle! I can't believe she is finally gone! No disrespect to Lillie, who does have a great voice...but the X Factor was just not the right place for her. It was way past her time to go.
In Jeopardy: Rion Paige and Josh Levi
I'm totally OK with this result. I'm not a huge fan of either of them. While talented, I'm just not all that excited for either of them any more. I would have also been more than OK with Restless Road or Ellona Santigao being in the bottom.
Final Showdown
Rion Paige--She walked out on stage like she meant business! Her lower notes were almost non-existent. I didn't like her phrasing, it was just awkward--probably because this Pink song doesn't really work in that arrangement, in trying to make it a country song. She gave it a good try, and she sang with a lot of heart and emotion. I don't know if it will be enough against Josh.
Josh Levi--Perfect song choice: Bruno Mars - "If I Was Your Man". His vocals were really good, and the whole performance was really good. I think he has shown more potential and consistency than Rion. I also think this performance was better than Rion's.
Side note: Paulina Rubio announced Josh Levi, as her OTHER act, Carlito Olivero! How embarrassing! EPIC FAIL! I guess we know who she liked better.
Judges Save:
Demi sends home Josh
Paulina sends home Rion
Kelly sends home Rion
Simon sends home Josh
That means it is a deadlock. Simon purposely chose Josh to let the public's vote decide. As it turns out Josh Levi got the fewest votes, and was eliminated.
Wow. I really think it should have been Rion going home, but whatever. But, when you think about it, Josh was brought back as a Wild Card, so technically, he shouldn't have even been there in the first place.
Top 6:
Carlito Olivero (Boys-Paulina)
Ellona Santiago (Girls-Demi)
Rion Paige (Girls-Demi)
Alex & Sierra (Groups-Simon)
Restless Road (Groups-Simon)
Jeff Gutt (Over 25s-Kelly)

X Factor, Ep. 3.18
Theme: Big Band
Seriously? Yet another horrible and way overdone theme. Why can't American Idol and X Factor take cues from The Voice? The Voice does songs that are happening and popular NOW. Sure, they throw in a couple old songs here and there, but they don't make a whole night of it, and force every singer to sing from that category. I can tell you right now, I'm going to hate every single song...including Michael Bublé's opening number. It's going to be hard to critique their singing when I don't like the songs.
Rion Paige - Girls (Demi)
She handled the fast pace and up-tempo song very well. We're used to hearing her sing ballads, so this was a nice change. She struggled a little bit with the lower notes, but the rest was good. I thought the moving around and choreography that she isn't used to performing with would make her get out of breath or lose her pitch, but she didn't.
Restless Road - Groups (Simon)
OK, am I a dummy? Since when is "Life is a Highway" a "big band" song? It was an OK performance, but I wasn't blown away. I'm not sure why the coaches were so positive about it. Listening to the performance a second time, I was even less impressed with it. I thought parts of their harmonies were off, and again, the lead singer and the really low singer, just don't sound good on the solo parts! This time, the cute singer on the right got even LESS solo time than usual. He should have ALL the solo parts ALL of the time! Why doesn't Simon or anyone else realize this? Am I the only one who thinks this?
Jeff Gutt - Over 25s (Kelly)
"Feelin' Good" was the absolute perfect song choice for Jeff! This was absolutely amazing! That song has been done so many times, but he killed it and it was epic! The last note was insane! Again, he is on a completely different level from everyone else. There is no comparison. Simon was right, he owned that song.
Josh Levi - Boys (Paulina)
OK, so this really is not "big band" either--Bruno Mars. So, they apparently, could just pick any song they wanted to and perform it with a "big band". This song really should be right up his alley, but I wasn't that impressed. The music overpowered his vocals. He sang it well, and performed it well, but I just wasn't wowed.
Carlito Olivero - Boys (Paulina)
I'm glad Paulina encouraged him to do another Latino song. I think that's why he was in the bottom last week. This Ricky Martin song, "Cup of Life" is a great song for him. He sounds amazing! There were times when I thought he sounded just like Ricky Martin! He gave a great performance. His vocals were right on, and he moved around the stage well. I think this was his best performance. He was even getting the crowd involved. He looked like a real superstar performing in a concert or on an awards show. Great job, Carlito! Simon was right, he was so comfortable on that song.
Alex & Sierra - Groups (Simon)
Oh my goodness! They totally changed this song, and I love it! It took me forever to figure out what song it was. It's Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble". The song has never sounded better. They were on fire tonight! They are so clever with their song choices and their arrangements.
Lillie McCloud - Over 25s (Kelly)
Oh boy, I do NOT like this at all! Yuck! I didn't think I could hate this song any more than when Fantasia sang it. Well, she just took it to another level and not in a good way. She was making strides last week, but she went back to her old ways on this song. It's not my style, and I agree with Simon--I think he would do a better job mentoring her.
Ellona Santiago - Girls (Demi)
I think this was a better performance than last week. I think the song allowed her to show off her vocals better. I think there was still too much going on on the stage, and I didn't care for her wardrobe change. A lot of unnecessary things. Just sing, Ellona...you have an incredible voice! I agree with Simon, again...back-up dancers need to go.
Final Face-Off
All 8 acts will be singing together in a battle against each other. This is very interesting, and it's never been done on the show before. How cool is it that Michael Bublé is mentoring them!
Jeff opened it up, and I wish he was singing the whole song! Alex & Sierra's part was also awesome! Everyone else did pretty good. I hated Lillie McCloud's part, and I hate when they have the deep singing guy from Restless Road singing solo.

Seriously? Yet another horrible and way overdone theme. Why can't American Idol and X Factor take cues from The Voice? The Voice does songs that are happening and popular NOW. Sure, they throw in a couple old songs here and there, but they don't make a whole night of it, and force every singer to sing from that category. I can tell you right now, I'm going to hate every single song...including Michael Bublé's opening number. It's going to be hard to critique their singing when I don't like the songs.
Rion Paige - Girls (Demi)
She handled the fast pace and up-tempo song very well. We're used to hearing her sing ballads, so this was a nice change. She struggled a little bit with the lower notes, but the rest was good. I thought the moving around and choreography that she isn't used to performing with would make her get out of breath or lose her pitch, but she didn't.
Restless Road - Groups (Simon)
OK, am I a dummy? Since when is "Life is a Highway" a "big band" song? It was an OK performance, but I wasn't blown away. I'm not sure why the coaches were so positive about it.

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.
Judges Save: Carlito
Kelly sends home--Tim
Demi sends home--Tim
Paulina sends home--Tim
Moving on to the Top 8:
Jeff Gutt -- Over 25s (Kelly)
Lillie McCloud -- Over 25s (Kelly)
Alex & Sierra -- Groups (Simon)

X Factor, Ep. 3.16
Top 10: British Invasion Week
Jeff Gutt - Over 25s (Kelly)
Whoa, "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen...that's a tough one! I think he will be amazing! I hope he can nail it so he doesn't fall into the category of people who have tried it and failed miserably. I like the set design for him this week. Yes, it is awesome! I've got goosebumps. He has the absolute perfect voice for this song, and he can put so much emotion into the lyrics, which sells it even better. Amazing performance. Jeff Gutt + "Bohemian Rhapsody" = perfection = goosebumps = X Factor winner, please!!!
Tim Olstad - Boys (Paulina)
I think playing the piano might be a good move for him this week. I LOVE this song! I know Elton sang it first, but I will always love the Blue version (that features Elton John). It's an amazing song...one of my favorites. I have to say, though, as good as this could have, and should have been, it just wasn't. He had a couple of uncharacteristic flat notes. I didn't like his phrasing of the song either. It sounded kind of rushed. Maybe I'm just used to the original. It was good, but it wasn't actually my favorite performance of his. I find it interesting that the judges actually liked this performance more than his others.
Khaya Cohen - Girls (Demi)
"Let it Be" by The Beatles...another great song choice tonight! I like seeing her sing something more toned down. This song allows her to show off her vocal skills...much more than last week. I like the changes she made to the song. Great performance! Wow, she really brought down the house at the end of that song. Holy crap! Beautiful!
Josh Levi - Boys (Paulina)
Wow, it took me a minute to figure out what song he was singing. He totally gives it a different vibe. I don't really know if it works on this song. I'm not loving it. It would have been better if he wouldn't have turned it into an R&B song and sang it like the original. He might as well have done a different song. Other than the words, not much was the same, and it wasn't changed for the better. Vocally, it was good, but I hated the song.
Alex & Sierra - Groups (Simon)
Covering One Direction? Should be interesting. One Directioners probably won't like it. I like the original, so I can't wait to see how they change it up. Whoa, look at that set! I love the bridge. Another song completely transformed and so different than the original. The difference between them changing a song, and Josh Levi changing a song is that theirs is actually good. Sorry Sierra, but I'm in love with Alex too. So cute, and that voice!
Rion Paige - Girls (Demi)

X Factor, Ep. 3.15
The Results Show
2 will be going home, leaving us with the Top 10.
Elimination #1: Sweet Suspense
Wow! That is a real shocker! I really thought they would have some fans. They never had a really bad performance. They weren't really standouts, but they definitely weren't the worst. I think they had a lot of potential.
In Danger and Singing For Their Lives: Khaya Cohen and Rachel Potter
I'm very surprised to see Khaya in the bottom. Her voice has been a standout from the beginning, so I'm surprised she didn't get the fan support. I'm a little surprised Rachel is as well, based only on her amazing performance last night. Based on her performances as a whole and her bland personality, it doesn't surprise me at all. She just isn't connecting with the audience and I think it's because she kind of comes across as fake and cheesy.
Khaya and Rachel will each sing for their lives, and one will be saved.
Khaya gave another really outstanding performance. She sounds more and more like Amy Winehouse every time she sings. I think they would be fools not to keep her.
Rachel went back to her country ballad roots. She had some really bum notes that missed the mark. As usual for her, parts of the song are amazing, while other parts make you cringe a little bit. The screeching at the end was especially bad. Again, they would be fools if they keep her.
Elimination #2: Rachel Potter
Kelly sends home Khaya
Paulina sends home Rachel
Demi sends home Rachel
Simon sends home Rachel

X Factor, Ep. 3.14
Because of the technical difficulties of last week, when no one was eliminated, this week before anyone sings, one will be eliminated.
Going Home: Carlos Guevara (Boys-Paulina)
The theme for this week is 80s.
Lillie McCloud (Over 25s-Kelly)
Whoa, that hair again! I know it's the 80s, but...yuck! This is how old she is...she had a song out in 1986. I knew she was old, but I didn't think she was that old. This song is horrible, and her pitch is terrible. She pulled out her earpiece, so I'm guessing she can't hear herself. It is nice to see her doing something different and moving around, but wow, this was so bad! I didn't enjoy any part of that. I didn't get it.
Carlito Olivero (Boys-Paulina)
I'm not sure what it is about him singing songs originally sung by females. First it was Selena, and now Gloria Estefan. This wasn't my favorite performance of his. I actually liked last week's even though Simon said he was taking a step back. I think he was good vocally, but I didn't get much from his performance like I normally do. I think the girls and other dancers were more of a distraction than anything.
Rion Paige (Girls-Demi)
She was way too low and quiet at the beginning. She actually sounded kind of unsure of herself. However, when she got to the chorus, she exploded. After that, it was a really good performance.
Sweet Suspense (Groups-Simon)
I enjoyed this performance. I think their harmonies were really good. They are solid as soloists and just as good together as a group.
Tim Olstad (Boys-Paulina)
This song has been done so many times, and I don't think it's that great to begin with. It really should go on a "banned" list so no one else can perform it on a reality singing competition again. I could have done without the lone dancer. That didn't add anything to the performance. His voice is good enough that he doesn't need anything else going on. The only problem with Tim is that he sounds exactly the same every week, just a different song. His voice is incredible, but he is so predictable. You know he's going to sing a power ballad every single time. It's good that he knows what he's good at and that he's consistent, but I would like to see him take a risk. The other judges said everything that I just said. I think with Tim and Carlito before him, they are proving that Paulina doesn't really know what she's doing as a coach.
Khaya Cohen (Girls-Demi)
When she first started, I didn't care for the version of the song. It sounded way too "Motown" instead of 80s, which is actually the theme. It got a little better as the song went on, but I think the version was just a little weird. As good as her voice has been in the past, she was really over-forcing it on this song, and it sounded very strained. She always sounds like she is on the verge of a major voice crack.
Restless Road (Groups-Simon)
A Footloose song should be really good for them. Unfortunately, the lead singer went flat again. Again, the cutest of the 3 sounded the best. I really wish they wouldn't give solo parts to the guy with the really deep voice. Just because he can sing that low doesn't mean it sounds good. Their harmonies struggled a little at the beginning, but it was really strong at the end of the song.
Rachel Potter (Over 25s-Kelly)
Only a few words into the song, and I could tell this was going to be her best performance, by far. I love her look this week! Someone listened to my critiques and gave her a little bit of a makeover. The wind blowing her bangs back proves she looks better without them. This week, she lived up to what Kelly has apparently been seeing in her since the beginning. I was starting to wonder why she was still in the competition and why she didn't go home in the 4-chair challenge. This was so much better than anything she has done in the competition. The big note was a little strained and screamed, but it was close to being perfect.
Ellona Santiago (Girls-Demi)
I was not crazy about the arrangement of this song. Again, there was too much dancing and other stuff going on. When she moves around, her voice wavers and it just doesn't sound that good. Demi needs to stop trying to hide her imperfections by adding a ton of stuff on stage and making her move around. It's not doing her any favors. She's much better when she's just singing.
Josh Levi (Boys-Paulina)
I didn't know if I was going to like him singing "Straight Up" by Paula Abdul, but it actually worked for him. His voice sounded amazing tonight. I even enjoyed his dance moves. The other acts that are trying to dance and sing need to watch him and take some notes. There wasn't a ton of dancing, and it didn't take away from his singing. I think this was his best performance.
And...they saved the best, and my 2 favorite acts for last :)
Jeff Gutt (Over 25s-Kelly)
I seriously love his song choice this week! "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight"...one of my favorite 80s songs, and right up his alley. Not gonna lie, I was kind of hoping for an INXS song because THAT would have been incredible. Regardless, he was still the best of the night so far. Above and beyond what everyone else can/will ever do. He commands that stage like a rockstar. Love him! I do agree with Simon that it's not the most original, what he does. It would be nice to hear him take a song and transform it into something different (think Adam Lambert on American Idol).
Alex & Sierra (Groups-Simon)
I love their new and interesting takes on well-known songs. I love the concept of the wall between them, and it was so satisfying when she walked through the door to him. They are at their best when they are interacting with each other. I love how they each started off a capella, it really set the mood for the song. My favorite part was when the tempo picked up and Sierra pounded on the wall to the beat. Sierra had an amazing moment in the song where she really belted it out. We don't get to see that very much from her, so that was a nice surprise. Simon wasn't impressed with their performance tonight, but I didn't hear what he was talking about, with Sierra losing the melody.

Simon wasn't impressed with their performance tonight, but I didn't hear what he was talking about, with Sierra losing the melody.

X Factor, Ep. 3.13
Due to a graphics glitch, wrong numbers were shown the night before, so instead of eliminating someone, they are all singing again. This is a shame, because we really need to start eliminating some of these boring acts to get down to the really good ones.
Josh Levi (Boys-Paulina)
This song is a perfect choice for him. If he could sound and perform like this every week, he could be someone to watch out for.
Rachel Potter (Over 25s-Kelly)
Side note: whoever is doing graphics for this show seriously needs to be fired, because the photos and name they showed was Rion Paige and not Rachel Potter. Same initials, but different people...come on!
She has a decent voice, but I just really find her boring and her hair style really bothers me. It looks like she's wearing a wig, and those bangs are really old fashioned. Someone give this girl a makeover now!
Carlos Guevara (Boys-Paulina)
I have no idea what song he was singing, which is unusual, because I usually know every song. Parts of this song sounded amazing, but other parts were just weird, and didn't sound right.
Restless Road (Groups-Simon)
I think I'm coming to a determination that: 1) The guy with the big ears and the tall guy with the really deep voice should NOT sing solo parts--leave it to the cute guy; and 2) They sound much better when they sing together.
Perfect song choice. This wasn't as good as their song the night before, only because their harmonies weren't as tight. There were a couple places where it just didn't sound quite right.
Ellona Santiago (Girls-Demi)
Very good song choice. This suits her so much more than the over-theatrical song the night before. She has a great voice that shouldn't be disguised by an overpowering backing track and a lot of props. Her voice shined on this song.
Jeff Gutt (Over 25s-Kelly)
Love this song choice for him. It's a very similar performance to the night before, but it is his niche and he does it so amazingly well. I could listen to him sing forever! I love watching him in the dark with just a few spotlights....it matches the dynamics and feel of the song. When he got to the chorus, it was just stunning. He is singing like a winner, and deservingly so...they should just give him the prize right now. He's in a totally different league than the rest of the competition.

X Factor, Ep. 3.12
This week's theme is: Motown. Taking a page out of American Idol's book, they are picking themes that are not only ancient and out of touch, but so overdone on reality singing competitions. I sure hope this doesn't continue for the remainder of the season. It's going to get old very fast.
Simon announces at the beginning of the show that Josh Levi is coming back as a wildcard because all of the judges felt that he deserved a second chance. Out of all the singers who deserves to come back, it would be James Kenney.
Josh Levi (Boys-Paulina)
He gave a really strong vocal performance. He's not my favorite, but he did a good job.
Rachel Potter (Over 25s-Kelly)
She put an interesting country spin on the song. We haven't ever heard her sing with that country accent before. She didn't even sound like the same person. It was nice to see her change the song, but I didn't love it, and I don't really think it works as an upbeat country song. At least she didn't sound as awful as she did during the 4-chair challenge, when I thought she deserved to go home.
Carlos Guevara (Boys-Paulina)
His voice suited this style very well. I think he sounded much better than he did in the last round. It was a decent performance, but I was really bored during the whole thing.
Restless Road (Groups-Simon)
This should be an interesting challenge for them, to see if they can get it to sound right as a country song. I think Simon will pick the right song to let them do just that.
Right from the beginning of the song, it sounded amazing! Their harmonies are so good for only having been together for a few weeks. The only problem for them is the guy with the weird ears (not sure which one he is)...his solos aren't the best, and he is often pitchy (or "peachy" as Paulina says). So pitchy that it's kind of painful to listen to. I think he would be better to stay in the background, and let the incredibly cute one be the lead singer. I think the girls will be voting them all the way to the end of the competition.
Ellona Santiago (Girls-Demi)
This is a song I really hate, and I don't think she did anything to the song that would make me like it. Her vocals didn't seem to match the production and backing track...it just sounded weird together. I don't think it worked. Technically, she sounded good, but I just didn't care for it all. The best part of the song was the big note at the end without the music.
Jeff Gutt (Over 25s-Kelly)
I hope that he doesn't sound cheesy. I think being a rock guy, this could either be really good and unique, or really awful.
OK, 2 words in...it's going to be amazing! I love when he can be tender and powerful at the same time, like the opening of the song. Absolutely the best song choice for him! It's the best song so far and the best performance so far. I have a feeling it's going to be the best of the night. That was simply amazing! He doesn't need a lot of production and overdone theatrics. He can sing, and his voice speaks for itself.

X Factor, Ep. 3.11
In this next round, the top 4 acts from each group will perform live. Their mentor will then choose 1 act to go home.
Girls - Demi
Ellona Santiago
I don't know if it was the song choice, or what, but I was not impressed with her performance at all. She got so winded by doing all the dance moves. It really took away from the performance because you could hear her straining for air. It also affected her pitch.
Danie Geimer
I like her song choice, but wow, her pitch was awful at the beginning. I don't know if it was nerves or what, but she was really pitchy and was really quiet. Then when it came for the powerful section, she got a little better, but the whole thing was just a little weird for me. Not sure exactly what it was, but it didn't work. She didn't have a whole lot of energy, and it was really boring...and it wasn't a boring song...she should have been able to have done something with it.
Rion Paige
Finally a good performance! She really has an amazing voice and she's always consistent. She is lightyears ahead of the other girls in her category. And she took a risk singing one of Demi's songs. She sang with a lot of emotion, and it was really beautiful.
Khaya Cohen
She also picked a really good song! She killed it! She showed a lot of personality and she gave a really good performance. She had great pitch, and sounded amazing!
My choice would definitely either be Elonna or Danie. I had liked Danie a lot before tonight, but she was really bad.
Demi's Choice To Go Home: Danie
Boys - Paulina
Josh Levi
Normally, he is really solid, but he kind of sounded like he was all over the place. I didn't think it was that great. I don't know if it was all the production and the dancing or what. It was kind of awkward.
Carlos Guevara
Wow, this was just really bad. The song choice was VERY wrong for him, and I do not like what he did with it at all. His pitch was REALLY bad! I liked him before this, I don't know what happened...maybe the nerves?
Carlito Olivero
He picked a very good song! He gave a really good performance. His pitch wasn't there 100%, but it was 100x better than both Josh and Carlos. I really like his voice, and I like the Spanish flavor.
Tim Olstad
I like his song choice a lot. It suited him very well. I like that there weren't a lot of theatrics and it was just him singing. I really like his voice a lot and I think he can get even better. I really enjoyed his performance and the emotion he gave was just right. Very solid and technically good.
I would definitely send Josh or Carlos home based on those performances. I think Josh needs the most work, so I think maybe he should go.
Paulina's Choice To Go Home: Josh
Over 25s - Kelly
Girls - Demi

X Factor, Ep. 3.7
A new round called the 4 Chair Challenge is introduced. Each act performs and their mentor decides whether to give them a seat or if they will go home. If they get a seat, they aren't safe though. As other acts perform, their mentor could bump them for someone else. After all the acts in their category have performed, the last 4 in the chairs will make it to the live shows. There are 10 in each group, which means that 6 people from each group are going home! I think this is going to be brutal, and we are going to lose some really good people.
Over 25s - Kelly
Victoria Carriger - Take a Seat
Kristine Mirelle - Take a Seat
Jeff Gutt - Take a Seat
Rachel Potter - Take a Seat (she sounded pretty awful and blamed it on being sick)
Lorie Moore - Take a Seat -- sending home Kristine
Allison Davis - Go Home (that was one of the worst performances I've ever heard...absolutely atrocious and a joke to the competition that she made it this far)
Jeff Brinkman - Take a Seat -- sending home Victoria (I can't believe it wasn't Rachel, Victoria is so much better!)
Denny Smith - Go Home (thank goodness!)
James Kenney - Take a Seat -- sending home Jeff Brinkman (every person in the audience has had 4 fingers in the air on every switch and she continues to let Rachel Potter...why? when she said "Jeff" my heart sank...if it was Jeff Gutt I would have died!)
Lillie McCloud - Take a Seat -- sending home Lorie (I am in utter shock...how in the heck does she switch her instead of Rachel? The crowd wanted Rachel out so badly)
FINAL 4: Jeff Gutt, James Kenney, Rachel Potter, Lillie McCloud
Girls - Demi
Bree Randall - Take a Seat
Khaya Cohen - Take a Seat
