This is not going to be easy.
Simon: It's going to get tough.

Someone's got to go.

Announcer: Live from Hollywood,
it's "The X Factor - the results."

Now, please welcome your hosts, Mario
Lopez and Khloe Kardashian Odom.

[Cheers and applause]

Mario: Welcome to "The X Factor -
the results." Good evening, everyone.

I'm Mario Lopez. Khloe: And
I'm Khloe Kardashian Odom.

So last night the contestants faced the
toughest challenges of their lives, singing the

greatest songs of the divas of all time.
Mario: The pressure is

intense because not one, but two acts will be going home.
It's going to be a rough night

on the singers and their mentors.
And good evening, mentors,

judges. [Cheers and applause]
Very intense tonight.

And on top of all that results drama tonight,
we're also going to do what no other singing

competition has done before. We're going
to reveal the rankings of the top acts

based on your votes. And live on stage,
we've got a sensational performance from

the incredible Taylor swift. [Cheers and
applause] Mario: So last night was all

about the acts taking on some huge songs.
By the way, you can download any

extraordinary night both on and off the stage.

If you look you will find me ♪
Simon: I thought the song was

boring. Britney: Simon, she has
more talent in her pinkie than you do

in all your contestants. That's
why we love Britney. She's the best.

Simon said I was boring. That's what I was
worried about. Considering my ranking last

week, I could be really close to the bottom.
That concerns me.

Simon: We changed this song at midnight
last night. L.A.: I don't know.

I think you guys lost your way.
Britney: I think they're a hip hop group.

They should be doing hip hop tracks.
I like that you all are doing

your own thing. I don't know people
who can do it in a couple of hours and

k*ll it like that. That part I agree with.
And you heard it here first.

Simon: You should be. That was amazing.

Simon: I can just feel it.

Britney: Sorry, I just don't get it.
L.A.: My guess is she'll be

at the bottom again. I feel like I'm
doing everything that the judges want

me to do. It's just hard.
It's tough.

If you ever, ever need help, I'm
more than happy to be here for you.

Thank you. Khloe: And
here they are, the top acts.

Mario: Congratulations on a great show, guys.
But tonight, two acts are going

home and the results are in. And the first
act is leaving the competition right now.

Let's get right to it. The first act leaving
the competition and going home is...

going to be revealed right after
the break.

Mario: Welcome back to "the x
factor." One act is about to leave the

competition based on your votes.
Khloe: All of these acts are phenomenal.

It's going to be sad to see any of them
leave the competition. Mario: Okay.

Good luck. To everyone. The
act with the lowest number

of votes and who is going home
right now is... lyric .

Khloe: We're going to be so sad.
We're sad to see you guys going.

How are you feeling? I feel good.
I feel like we didn't get the

opportunity to show what we had. We had an original
hip hop song. We thank everybody for cheering

for us. Mario: Great attitude.
Great attitude.

Khloe: You guys have been phenomenal.
Let's take a look back at your

time here on "The X Factor." We
started the competition. Hello.

We are . My name is lyric, the queen.
At boot camp, Simon put us

together as a group. This
could be the life we're living.

I've been to more funerals than weddings.
How is it that you found a

female version of us?
Simon: It was a good decision.

You are amazing. You all are.
L.A.: The truth is, I think

I'm going crazy, because it was really good.
[Cheers and applause]

Mario: Well, Simon, unfortunately,
just lost one of his acts.

You guys were amazing for taking the journey with us.
So lyric is now leaving the

competition. But, the drama isn't over yet.
One more act will be heading

home before the end of the show, and it's
all coming down to how you at home voted.

And after the break, live on stage,
it's the amazing Taylor swift.

[Cheers and applause]

Mario: Welcome back to "The X Factor."
Before the break, lyric left

the competition, and there's still
one more result to come tonight.

Khloe: Yes. Before we get to that,
live on stage, a six-time grammy award

winning singer/songwriter. With a world
premiere performance of "state of grace,"

it's Taylor swift.

Now, you are a young star.

You started really young. We have young contestants.
What advice would you give them?

how tired you are, no matter how bad a day

you're having, be nice to people.
Khloe: The golden rule.

Mario: Good advice in life. You're exactly right.

stores now. We'll find out which acts

Mario: Welcome back to "the

Ladies, we will see you on

stage. Demi, go ahead and take a seat.
Khloe: Best of luck, you

guys. Mario: Simon, I want to
talk to you, because you're an

impartial judge. What will you be
looking for between these two singers

battling it out tonight? Simon: You know
what, the reason we have a singoff, Mario,

that's exactly what it is. You wipe the
slate clean depending on who we think gives

the best performance. Mario: Thank you, Simon.
Demi: I feel bad for Demi.

Mario: Demi, please introduce your act.
Demi: I don't know who's

next. Mario: It's jennel Garcia.

[cheers and applause]
Mario: Paige Thomas, everyone.

Khloe: Let's get jennel Garcia.
Are you okay?

Mario: All right. Here's the deal.
There is nothing more these acts

can do. Now it's all up to the judges.
I'm going to ask each of them in

turn who they want to send home. And if we get
a tie, we go to deadlock and the act which got

the lowest number of votes from you at
home will be leaving the competition.

This is it.

L.A., start with you. What is the
name of the act you are sending home?

L.A.: This is really difficult.
I'm actually shocked that either

of them are at the bottom, because
I think they're both amazing.

Really, really strong. [Cheers and
applause] But, unfortunately, I have to

make a very unpleasant decision, and the
act that I've decided to send home is...

jennel Garcia. I'm sorry.
Mario: That's one strike

against jennel. Britney, what is the name
of the act that you are sending home?

Britney: This is a really tough decision.
Both of you are amazing

performers and really have a lot of heart,
and it's really interesting to see.

But the act I'm going to
send home is... jennel.

Mario: All right. That's two against jennel.
Simon, if you go for jennel,

she's going home tonight. Simon: Can't
we hear what Demi's got to say first?

Mario: We're going to start with you, Mr. Cowell.
Please give me the name of the

act you're sending home. Simon:
You can't go to Demi first?

Simon: I want to know which one she's going to choose.
Mario: We need to know which

one you're going to choose. Simon: I'm not doing it.
I'm going to let Demi do it.

Mario: Mr. Cowell, Mr. Cowell
...you're the boss. We'll do it.

Demi, please give me the name of the
act you're sending home tonight.

Demi: The act that I'm sending home tonight
is... why don't we hear from Simon first.

Let's go. Mario: Demi, Demi, Demi,
these are people's lives we're

dealing with here. We can't prolong it any longer.
We really need an answer on who

you're sending home tonight. I'm sorry, Demi.
I need an answer.

Demi: The act that I'm going to
send home is Paige. Mario: Okay.

That's one against Paige, two against jennel.
Simon, if you go against Paige,

we're in deadlock. If you go
against jennel, she's going home.

So, Simon, who are you sending home tonight?
Simon: The act I believe has

got the best star potential, and I felt it
tonight on the sing-off, and for me this is a

relatively easy decision. The act
I'm going to send home is jennel.

Khloe: Congratulations, Paige.
Mario: Congratulations,

Paige. Thank you. Go
join the rest of the

contestants. Jennel, you
had quite the journey.

What's going through your mind?
Khloe: How are you feeling, jennel?

Happy that I've come so far. Khloe:
Is there anything you want to say to Demi?

Thank you. Khloe: Well, here's
a look back at your time on "the"

"x factor." What's your name?
My name is jennel Garcia.

L.A.: Feisty little fireball.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Jennel Garcia.

It's really emotional for me. I
didn't think I would make it this far.

♪ I lost my way ♪ on my way
L.A.: That was a .

Demi: I just saw you. I had a vision.
I just see you going so far.

♪ I love rock and roll hot, hot, hot.
♪ rollin', rollin', rollin' on

the river ♪
♪ and we're rollin',
rollin' [Cheers and applause]

Khloe: Okay. I know this is
really hard for the both of you.

Demi, is there anything you want to say to jennel?
I just think you're so

unbelievably talented and you have a
future ahead of you, so I'm not worried.

I love you. And I really,
really believe in you.

Mario: One more time for jennel Garcia, everyone.
So we know now who is in the top

. But just like last week, we're
going to reveal what no other

singing competition show has ever revealed.
Which act got the most votes and

who the overall winner is this week.
Find out when we come back.

Stay with us.

We are now going to reveal how

you voted and where everyone stands in this week's ranking.

was at the top. Did he hold

How do you feel?

Demi: I believed in her performance
last night and I think she did incredible.

Think we nailed what direction we need to go.
Khloe: America believed in

it, too. Mario: This
is pretty amazing.

Just over % of the votes separates the top four.
Obviously, it is extremely

close. Coming in four
place is... emblem!

You are up two spots from last week.
Simon, the boys are up two spots

from last week. How do you feel about that?
Simon: Well, mixed emotions.

I would still like both groups higher.
I think we have to work harder

next week and get up that leader board.
That's what we're going to do.

Khloe: We're down to your top three.

Mario: All right.
