Post by bunniefuu »

- That was a .
- Utterly horrendous.

You boys make me swoon. We are
just witnessing America's next pop sensation.

Tonight it's a blood bath.
Four will sing for competition

- as the judges reveal the final .
- The decisions they

- have to make is going to be really, really tough.
- It's going to be a

It's time to face the music.

I have no idea right
now what I'm going to do.

Please welcome your hosts, Mario
Lopez and Khloe Kardashian Odom.

Hey, everyone. Welcome
to "The X Factor - the results."

Hello. What a fantastic
night we had last night.

- Great time. Great time.
- Amazing.

There were incredible performances.
But tonight four acts will have

Yes, they do.
And who stays and who goes is

all up to the mentors. Let's welcome the
four people who are going to have to make

those tough choices tonight.
"The X Factor" judges.

- Demi Lovato.
- Simon Cowell.

And Britney Spears. Last night the top
performed hoping to wow their mentors.

- So here's what's going to happen tonight.
- All right.

Each judge will choose two of their acts
to put straight through to the top .

Okay? Then the remaining two acts
from each category will have to sing

for their survival, and only one of them
will be able to stay in the competition.

Wow. I'm
going to start with you.

- How tough will it be for you tonight to make that choice?
- It's going to be really

tough. I started out not really happy
about the category, as you might

Yes,
you made that known.

But these guys convinced me that
they are good. So it's going to be very

difficult to figure out who should
I save and who's in danger.

Okay. Miss Britney Spears, I
know you had a lot of positive things to

say about your teens. Is it going
to be hard for you tonight?

You know, everybody gives
their all in each performance.

They're like my children. It's going to be
really hard to choose which of my children will

Demi, what were
you looking for in your acts last

What I was looking
for from my acts, I was just looking

for that "it" quality that we can't
describe in what we call The X Factor.

I needed to see that behind their eyes
in their performances last night.

Okay. Simon, I
know you tell it like it is.

You're pretty blunt. Is this going
to be easy for you tonight?

Sorry? Is this
going to be easy for you tonight?

You know what? I haven't
quite made up my mind yet.

Definitely tough times ahead for the judges.
So let's get right to it.

We're going to start with the young adults,
Paige Thomas, jennel Garcia, Cece frey and

First, here's a
look at all four acts in action last

Give it
up for Paige Thomas.

I was really nervous about being with Demi.
♪ don't hurt me

♪ don't hurt me no more ♪ baby, don't
hurt me ♪ don't hurt me no more

- Not so sure about that song choice.
- You did a fantastic

The whole point
of this show is to find somebody

who's different. You came out
here tonight and nailed it.

Oh, my God! I miss you so much.
This is a moment I've been

waiting for. I've been waiting to show
the crazy inside of me which I call

mama madness. This is amazing.
I really want to get through.

I feel like I gave my all. I gave everything on that stage.
So all I can do is just pray on

it. You just never know.
It's scary.

The next performer is one of my favorites.
Her name is jennel Garcia.

Oh, my God. This is it.
Now or never.

There's like no plan b for me.
♪ oh, yeah ♪ on my way

That was a ,
and you just convinced me that you could

win.

I'm so unbelievably proud of you.
I feel like crying.

Amazing. I'm speechless.
I'm really speechless.

It went exactly the way I hoped it would go.
This is what I want in life.

I need to stay in this competition
because music is all I have.

I think she's a future pop star.
Give it up for Cece frey.

A little to be desired

Your vocals
were a little weak sometimes.

I felt you could do better vocally.
I felt you were a little

nervous. All I can hope is
I did enough to stay safe.

I know I have things to work on. I want so bad.
I definitely don't feel like I

did my best. I know I can do...
I did... you saw the models.

All I can say is I did my best.
If I'm in the bottom two and

have to save my song, I'll show them
exactly what it means to be a vocalist.

First time I saw him, I thought he was a star.
Give it up for Willie Jones.

Definitely set the bar high. I've got to bring it, man.
♪ you know I'm here for the

party ♪
♪ gonna have a little
fun ♪ you know I'm here

Willie,
I thought it was silly, actually, and I don't

think your mentor has done you any
justice with that whatsoever.

His mentor happens to be someone who's
years old and that happens to know what

people like. And I'm really proud.
I think you took my notes really

well. He didn't like it, but the
other three liked it a lot, and

Great performances, all of them.

I wouldn't want to be their judge.
Now it's time to find out who's

moving on to the top and who's
going to have to sing for survival.

Please welcome back the young
adults.

Paige Thomas! Jennel Garcia!
Cece frey!

And Willie Jones! Four acts, two of
them are about to go into the top .

This is it. Demi, overall, how do you
think your acts performed last night?

Overall, I was really proud of my acts.
I felt like they really took my

notes into consideration. They
did the best that they could.

All right.
Well, Demi, with that said,

- which is the first act you are putting into the top ?
- The first act that I'm

- going to put through to the final is jennel.
- Jennel Garcia,

congratulations. We're going
to see you next week.

All right, Demi. We've got to keep this going.
What is the name of the second

- act that you are putting into the top ?
- The name of the second

act that I'm going to put through
is going to be Paige Thomas.

Congratulations, Paige Thomas.
We're going to be seeing you

next week. You made it into the top .
So that means, of course, Willie

Jones and Cece frey are going to be singing for survival.
Good luck tonight, both of you.

Right now let's go backstage to Khloe with
Hey, Mario, I'm

backstage with jennel right now, who is in tears.
What are these tears for?

Um, I'm so happy for myself. But, you
know, my two best friends are out there.

Are you afraid for them?
Yeah.

- You are? But I'm super happy.
- Paige, come here.

Are you excited? I know
jennel's in tears over here.

How are you feeling? I'm shaking.
I feel so happy.

- I worked my butt off to get to this point.
- What does it mean for

you to be in the final ? It means everything.
I mean, I can't put into words

what this means. I was nervous, and I'm
trying to fight back tears, but this just

Welcome.
Thank you.

- Mario, back to you. Congratulations, girls.
- Thank you very much.

So two acts are through. The other two acts
from the young adults now have to sing

again, and Demi Lovato will decide which
act will be staying in the competition.

There's some serious pressure right now.
First up singing for their

survival, it's Cece frey.

Cece.

You know what I think? I have no
idea what Willie's going to sing.

My opinion is you just saved yourself,
because I thought that was really good.

I wasn't all that familiar with the
song, but you did a great job.

- I thought it was wonderful. Congratulations.
- Last night I thought

you had an identity crisis. But tonight
you've completely pulled through.

It was a very powerful performance.
I was very impressed.

Well, the question is, Cece, is I don't
understand why you didn't do something like

this last night. I mean, last night,
with all that crazy makeup, you looked

like a clown, um, the song was wrong, you were
writhing about on the stage, and this is why we

liked you in the first place. It was
just a good song, very well sang.

You're
about to make a big decision in a moment.

Good luck tonight. Coming up...
the second of the young adults,

Willie Jones. He sings to stay in
the competition, and then Demi.

Lovato will decide which act is moving
on to the top and who's going home.

Welcome back to "The X
Factor." Before the break, Demi Lovato

- put jennel Garcia and Paige Thomas through to the top .
- That left, of course,

Cece frey and Willie Jones to sing for their survival.
We've already heard Cece frey

perform. Here is the second act
from the young adults singing for

survival.
It's Willie Jones.

Willie Jones.
Willie Jones. You know what?

I'm going to stick to my opinion that
I think you're really, really unique.

Really unique. That was good.
You're making it tough.

You know what? I wouldn't
want to be Demi right now.

- This is going to be a really tough decision.
- I feel like you

definitely stand out and there is a unique
quality about you, definitely, but I'm not sure

You know,
Willie, what's frustrating, and I wish

in a way I was mentoring you, is if we could
capture what you brought to that first audition,

which absolutely blew me and L.A. away, I
think you could have a real future in this

competition, but you need someone who understands
what to do with your voice, because you

have a very distinct voice. Thank you, Simon.

All right. Now, let's
please welcome back Cece frey.

Cece, come join us over here. Both acts
from the young adults have performed.

One of them is about to go into the
top and one is about to go home.

Yes. Okay.
So this is it.

Two acts, Cece frey and Willie Jones.
Demi, you are their mentor.

The decision is all up to you. I feel for you.
Which act are you sending home?

The act that I'm going to send
home is going to have to be Willie.

- Cece you made it to next week.
- Congratulations, Cece.

Willie,
how are you feeling right now, Willie?

I'm sorry I have to go home. It was really fun to be here.
You know, if you have a dream,

Great attitude.
What do you want to say to Demi?

I know this is a real tough choice for her to make.
Just thank you for being my

mentor. I learned a lot from you.
Thank you.

Demi, is there anything
you want to say to Willie?

I don't want this to stop you.
I think you're on to something.

I have so much faith in you. I just think
that it's not your time right now.

Go back and figure out what you need
to do to make sure it's your time.

All right, Willie Jones.

We're all going to be sorry to
Yes, we are.

Three of the young adults are through to the
top and one is heading home, and three more

acts will be going home later on tonight.
Coming up...

it's time for L.A. Reid and the
over s to face the music.

Paige Thomas and Cece frey from the young
adults have made it into the top .

And, by the way, you can get exclusive access
to the shows, you guys, and catch all the

action backstage with the xtra factor app presented
by verizon.

Now the results for the over s.
David correy, Vino Alan, Tate Stevens and Jason Brock.

Three will go through, one will go home.
Here's what happened last night.

Welcome to the stage, this
is David correy. ♪ With your love

I'm really proud of you and it felt right.
Thank you so much.

I thought your performance was a
bit manic, verging on times as what I would

call desperate. That
was an unreal experience.

I'm so proud. You did it.
You did everything.

You did it. I feel like
I gave everything I had.

Hopefully I can convince Simon next time.
I gave it everything I had, and

Welcome to the stage vino.

♪ Nobody wants to be the last one there

♪ and everyone likes to be like

someone cares ♪
♪ someone to love
with my life in their hands ♪

♪ there's gotta be somebody
for me like that ♪
♪ hey, hey

I feel your effort, but I
have to say I was a little bored.

You're a soul singer, not a rock singer.
And the arrangement of the song

- made you into some horrible cover singer.
- You're going to be just

fine. I do understand what
Simon was saying, absolutely.

The song, you know, kind of laid
it out like I was a rough singer.

It's a rough crowd. Britney said I was boring.
I didn't get that.

She hasn't been responsive to any of my stuff, period.
You made her bored, dog?

The crush is officially over, like
that's going to hurt her feelings.

I thought this is the one time she'd
get it, that I'm a real legit singer.

Welcome to the stage Tate Stevens.
♪ but I'll always be strong

Tate, you know what I like about you?
You're just a good, honest man,

- needs a break. For me, you're a keeper.
- You are a classic.

I'm really proud of you. I thought it was well done.
You are absolutely a keeper.

We're going to see you around. It was so awesome.
Man, it's such a great feeling.

I hope it's good enough that they're
going to keep me. I want to go home.

I want to see my wife and kids, but I'm definitely
not ready to go back to asphalt and concrete

What is it
like being away from your family?

I can't talk about it. I get
too worked out. It's tough.

They wanted to be here. Maybe if
I stay around, they can come.

Want to give
them a shout-out? Yeah.

Mr. entertainment
himself, Jason Brock.

Home for me is no job, so I don't want to leave.
♪ I wanna dance and love and

dance again ♪
♪ I wanna dance
and love and dance again ♪

Jason, I like you. But,
that was utterly horrendous.

Listen, Jason, you know what?
He's a hater.

Don't worry about it. Congratulations.
We enjoyed it.

Thank you so much. I thought it went fantastic.
Unfortunately, Simon didn't

agree. That was one of the worst
comments of the night he's

given. I was shocked. He
thought it was the worst

performance of the night. To hear
that from Simon is like terrible.

I don't know what I will go back to after this.
Tomorrow I'm going to do my very

best no matter what happens, and hopefully I won't
even be asked to do a save-me song, but, you

They all had a great night.

Mr. L.A. Reid, there's great news for two of them.
They're going through to the top

. Of the other two will
have to sing for survival.

Let's welcome the over
s.

- Vino Alan!
- Tate Stevens!

And Jason Brock! Okay.
Let's find out who's going

through to the top and who's going
to sing for survival. This is it.

- L.A., how did these guys do for you last night?
- Well, I thought all of

them were really good. If I'm to be honest,
I think that the song choice that I gave

um, um, um, Jason, think I failed you,
because you can sing much better than that.

I don't think it was a great song choice for you.
Otherwise, I feel very strong

- about all of them. They did great.
- Okay.

Well, let's find out. So, L.A., which is the
first act you are putting into the top ?

First of all, I love all of you.
And there's nothing easy about

this decision. But the first person
that I'm going to save is...

Vino
Alan, congratulations!

We are going to be seeing you next week.
L.A., L.A., we've got to keep it

going here. Congratulations, vino.
Which is the second act that you

Now it even gets more difficult.

The second person that I am going
to save is... Tate Stevens.

Tate Stevens,
congratulations, you are in the top .

We're going to be seeing you
next week, cowboy. All right.

So that means we've got David correy and Jason
Brock who are going to be in the sing-off.

- Good luck to both of you gentlemen tonight.
- And after the break,

these two acts will sing for survival.
And one of them will be going

home.

Welcome back to "The X Factor," everyone.
Before the break, vino Alan and

Tate Stevens from the over s were put through
to the top by their mentor, L.A. Reid.

Vino, you've made it quite known that you've
gotten a lot of negative news throughout your

whole life, man. How good did it
feel to get validated by L.A.?

This is what you work for your whole life.
It feels so good.

Congratulations. What did your
kids say last night when they saw dad

on-stage? They were super-excited.
Just great words of

- encouragement. And I'm...
- They'll be seeing dad

next week. I'm sure they're very proud.
So these two are definitely into

the top . One more of the
over s will be joining them.

- Right now let's go back to Khloe on-stage.
- David correy and Jason

Brock now have to sing for survival.
Their mentor is L.A. Reid.

First to sing tonight, it's
David correy.

♪ Here's the thing ♪ we started out
friends ♪ it was cool but it was all

pretend ♪
♪ yeah, yeah

I wasn't really sure about you last
night, but tonight I feel like you blew us

- away and you were amazing. Very good.
- I really didn't like

the rendition of that song. I felt it was way too forced.
It was... it just felt like you

David,
you know, I thought it was a good choice of

song. It was... I'm
kind of with Demi here.

It was a little bit melodramatic, theatrical,
but I can see how much this means to

you. You know? I
love you, David!

Definitely can see the
passion you had on the stage tonight.

L.A. doesn't get to comment because he has a
very important decision he's about to make.

Coming up, the second song for survival is Jason
Brock singing to stay in the competition.

Welcome back to "The X Factor -
the results." Now, before the break, David

correy from the over s sang for survival.
Now here's the second of the

over s singing to stay in the competition.
Please welcome Jason Brock.

Thank you so much.
I love you all.

- Thank you so much. Thank you, judges.
- You know, I wasn't

sure yesterday. I just feel like
today you turned me into a fan.

A real fan. Thank you, Britney.
That means a lot to me.

- Thank you. We love you!
- There's something

really genuine about you, behind your eyes.
When you perform, I believe you,

and I believe that you want to be here.
And that you're just so likeable

when you come out on stage. I really don't want to be L.A.
right now, because you're both

so talented. You did an amazing job.
It does come from the heart.

Here's my slight problem.

And I don't mean this to be rude.
But you're asking me to judge

two horses who are coming last in a race.
Which one do I want to guess,

because I can't believe either of these
guys based on these performances can win.

Having said that, compared to what you did
yesterday, that was a million times better.

- I mean, last night was a wreck. Well, thank you.
- Well done, Jason.

- Let's get David correy back on stage.
- Yes, come join us,

David, in the middle over here. Now, two
acts, David correy and Jason Brock.

Only one of them can stay in
the competition. This is it.

L.A. Reid, you are their mentor. Which act are you
Well, first, I thought

that was really mean. That was really mean.
They're both very, very good.

On the one hand, you have what I call
Mr. entertainment in Jason Brock.

And you're very good. You're very, very good.
And, David correy, I really love

what you do, right? You're a star.
So it's kind of like do I go

with entertainment, do I got with the star?
Mr. entertainment versus a star.

And you know what? It's not an easy decision.
But the person I am sending home

is... I'm sorry. David
correy, I'm sending you

Jason Brock,
congratulations, you're going to

be here next week. I'll give you a moment.
Bye, Jason.

Thank you. Not a popular
decision here tonight, man.

You've really been great. What's
going through your mind right now?

Um, I just want to say that I've been
through a lot in my life, like we all have.

But it's never stopped me. And I promise you
this is not going to be the last time you

see my face. Don't ever
give up on what you love.

I promise you. I love y'all. L.A.
Reid, thank you, my man.

I appreciate everything. Britney,
Demi, Simon, I appreciate it.

Spoken like a gentlemen.
Three of the over s are into

the top . Next, we're
moving on to the teens.

Three will be in the top , but one will be going home.
The pressure is going to be on

for Britney Spears.

This is "The X Factor."
Tonight we are finding out which

of the top finalists the judges
are putting through to the top .

Each judge gets to put three of their own acts through.
But, that means they each have

Yes, and we
already know the results for the young

adults, the over s, and up next it's the
teens, arin ray, diamond white, Beatrice Miller

and carly rose sonenclar. They're mentors
by Britney Spears, and here's what went

- down on last night's show.
- He's one of my favorites.

Here's arin ray. I'm about to blow it up.

like it was a little stiff.

I feel like I want to see you dance better.
I don't know what Demi's

talking about. I'm going to prove her down.
I may do a whole dance breakdown

next week just for her. I just want to stay.
Being able to be back is super

cool, too. And I don't want to
leave, especially this early.

I definitely think you don't have anything to worry about.
I'm not just saying that because

This is miss diamond white.

verse, you started to own the song.
By the time you got to the end,

- I thought the song

choice was really great. You're so adorable.
And you have one of the most

powerful voices in this competition.
Thank you so much.

You impressed me so much.
I am so incredibly proud of you.

And you're amazing. Thank you so much.
It was awesome.

I'm loving it. And I just
hope I get to next week.

I'm so proud of you.
Really? Thank you.

felt when you were trying to push it,
we had some real tuning issues there.

There's a part where I swallowed.
You're so dry, you're so dry,

I think
you're a true star.

You're amazing. I loved it.
It was great.

I hope I don't go home. I tried my best.
It may not have been my best

performance, but Britney was proud of me.

Once again, two will go straight
into the top . Two will have to sing for

survival, and one will go home.
Please welcome the teens.

Arin ray! Diamond white!
Beatrice Miller!

And carly rose sonenclar! Okay.
Let's find out who's going

through to the top and who's
going to have to sing for survival.

This is it. Britney? What
are you feeling about your

- Overall, I'm so

proud of all of them. I feel like they've
grown so much through rehearsals, and

they've lightened up the room. And
I'm just stunned by all of them.

And it's going to be a really hard
Okay.

Well, you're going to have to make one.
So, can you give me the first

We will seen you again next

- I'm going to save... Is carly.
- Congratulations, carly

rose. We will see you next week.
Okay.

So diamond white and arin ray are in the sing-off.
Good luck to the both of you

guys tonight. Let's go
backstage and join Mario.

Beatrice, how do you feel?
You were the first name called.

What does that mean to you? I feel amazing.
It was a little weird having

everyone screaming carly. I'm really happy.
I'm really happy carly's here,

Here she comes.
Come here, carly.

We'll get a little group hug here.
A little love.

Carly, really quick, how are you doing?
I feel amazing.

Oh, my God. I can't believe
that just happened.

Congratulations, girl. We'll see both
of you, of course, next week in the top .

Right now the two remaining acts from the
teens are going to sing for survival.

Arin ray and
diamond white are now going to sing to

stay in the competition. This is really
a make or break it for both of them.

Their mentor is Britney Spears. Singing
for survival, here is arin ray.

You know what, arin?
I don't even understand why you

would have to sing to stay, because you have what it takes.
And every time you step behind

that Mike, I'm impressed. I'm a huge fan.
And I think it would be a shame

if you were to go home. [Cheers and
I think the girls in

this audience are screaming for a reasons.

I don't
know if it's because they love the song so

much, but the second you started singing it, it drew me in.
I agree, it would be a shame to

- see you go. Thank you.
- Arin, that was a

different league to last night. I've got to tell you.
That was a great performance.

And I think you really showed your potential.
I think for you to leave the

competition now would be a huge mistake.
Thank you very much.

Well, arin ray has done all he can.
But will it be enough to keep

him in the competition? Or will diamond
white get the last spot in the team for the

top ?
We'll soon find out.

Welcome back to "The X Factor -
the results." Right now we are finding out

which of the teens will be back next week in the top .
So far Beatrice Miller and carly

rose sonenclar are through thanks
to their mentor, Britney Spears.

And that leaves arin ray and diamond
white singing for their survival.

Yes. And Britney can be the
only one to choose which one will go

through. The other one
you have to send home.

Arin ray has already performed. Now to sing
for survival, please welcome diamond white.

You know what?

You give me chill bumps. You're really a
sensational vocalist, and I really admire

you, you know. Um, I don't
know what happens tonight.

But what I can tell you is that you
have a real future in this business.

I thought it was
really interesting, because every time

I've seen you perform, I've seen you really
happy and really bubbly, but this took on

something that was totally different.
I saw the soul and the fire

behind your eyes, and it really
impressed me. Thank you.

- Really did. Thank you.
- You should be proud

- of this performance. Thank you so much.
- And you look amazing.

Do
you know what, diamond?

I wouldn't want to be in Britney's position.
When arin came out, I thought

he's got to go through. The last seconds
of that song, I thought actually you've

got to go through.
I... I don't think it's right

Okay.
So Britney does not get to

comment right now because she's about to make
Yes, good luck

tonight. Simon, how tough a decision
is this going to be for Britney,

I don't think
either one of these two should leave

the competition. I genuinely mean that.
I think they're both super

Let's get
arin ray back here in the middle.

We've just heard both acts perform.
More to the point, Britney

Spears has heard them perform, too.
She has to pick one to stay in

The
other will be heading home.

Britney,
obviously, being their mentor, how are you

This is
glog to be the hardest decision ever.

It's really, really hard. Diamond, every
time she performs, it just amazes me at

her age, her voice, and what she can do with it.
She just blew me away today.

This is it.
Britney, please tell us the name

The person I'm going to send home is...

That means arin
ray, you made it to the top .

- We will see you next week. Congratulations.
- How are you feeling?

- I'm happy I made it so far. I still love you, Britney.
- Everybody, let's hear

it one more time for diamond white.
Please.

Awesome job, diamond. After the break,
we're going to find out which of the groups

Simon Cowell is putting into the top .
Stay with us.

All right. We're back,
and this is "The X Factor."

And so far tonight we've revealed which acts
from the young adults, the over s, and

the teens have made it into the top .
They're all going to be back

Yes.
And there's just one category to

go. It's the groups. Sister
c, , emblem and

lyric . All mentored by Simon Cowell.

- They did that song in their first audition.
- We didn't hear much of

- I understand why.
- You guys seemed really

stiff. I almost...
it was amazing.

I think they're growing on people, sister c.
They were great tonight.

I really don't. I don't either.
We did everything we could,

make some noise. ♪ Boom shake

I'm a little
worried about this group, Simon.

They're so group. Demi said
she was worried about us.

Sounded like somebody took all the soul from you.
Lyric, tell me you really liked

that song. What we needed to
do was nail this performance.

I thought you guys were absolutely sensational.
Can't wait for tomorrow, man.

- Love y'all, man. My bros.

you, too. I love you, so much.

If you
want to apologize, Demi.

I'm not going to apologize. I feel like it's
criticism and you guys can learn from it.

- We want to be a group. We are a group.
- I do feel like you guys

are the type of people that
Thanks.

Good enough. ... That would take that
into consideration and learn from it.

superstar here. Oh, my God.
I love your face.

- Insane, incredible, amazing.
- Emblem, I thought amazing.

Just literally rocked the house. I
love these blokes. Just amazing.

I think out of
nowhere they could be the favorites in

the whole show.

Simon, you and the groups had a phenomenal
night last night, but two of them will

go straight into the top and the other two
will have to go head to head to stay in this

Please welcome the groups.

- Sister c. Lyric .
- .

And emblem. All right.
Let's find out who's going

through to the top and who's going
to sing for survival. This is it.

Simon, obviously, you worked with all the acts.
Did they make you proud last

night? How do you feel
about the performances?

I loved all four of them.
Genuinely loved all four.

And I've been thinking about this in my head,
and even up until five minutes ago, I hadn't

- Wow.
- Have you made it up

We don't
have that much time, sir.

Right now I have to ask you which is the
first act you are putting into the top .

Okay. The first act who I'm
sending through to next week's show

- is... Is emblem.
- Congratulations,

emblem! We're going to see you
again next week, gentlemen.

All right. Simon, moving right along,
which is the second act you're putting

I watched
the show back, and I tried to make a

judgment on who I'd seen improve over the last few weeks.
I can make a case for any of

these three. But the second
act I'm going to save is...

- the second act I'm saving is lyric .
- Congratulations,

lyric . We're going to see
you in the top next week.

- Okay. All right.
- That means sister c

and are in the sing-off. Good
luck to all of you guys tonight.

Ladies, how are we feeling right now?
What's going through your minds?

We're very nervous, but I think we have
to give it our all, because we really don't

Sister c, are
you guys feeling good tonight, confident?

We came into it feeling confident, and we
just have to say we're ready to k*ll the song

- I
- think they're ready for battle.

Good luck, ladies. Coming up
...it is definitely crunch time for

sister c and and for Simon
Cowell.

The night. Emblem and lyric were
put through to the top by their

The
drama continues. Welcome back.

Now it's crunch time for sister c and .
Two acts, one spot left in the

Sister c, I think

overall we've struggled with song
choices throughout the competition.

I think it's hurt some of the contestants.
That time you got it right.

And, you
know, something went over my head.

I don't know your name, middle c, but,
middle c, you got a lot of soul, sister.

No, that's you in the middle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really good.

I'd really
like to see you guys around.

There's a gap in the marketplace
for what you do. Thank you.

I was pleasantly surprised.
I feel like you guys really want

this, and you have the eye of the tiger,
and it makes me like watching that.

I think
that every time you step on stage, your

voices sound phenomenal, and I have to say that
if I saw you guys go in this competition, I

think it would be a mistake. I
think you guys are very talented.

And I can't wait to hear more from you
down the road. Thank you, Demi.

Good job, guys. Good luck to you, too, ladies.

groups.

Ladies, ladies,
ladies, you know what they say, when the

going gets tough, the tough get going.
And you know what?

You did it. And I'm proud.
Thank you.

You guys definitely made me a believer tonight.
I wasn't so sure last night, but

- tonight you guys, you got me. Thank you.
- I don't know who that

song is by. You don't
know who that song is by.

- But, regardless, you did better than the original singer.
- Let's see sister c

Come on out, ladies.
Scoot over a little to the

- right. Get in the middle here.
- Okay.

Simon, Simon, please, I want you to tell us
which act you are sending home, but after the

break. I want you to wait
'til after the break.

Welcome back to "the x
factor." There is just one last spot in

the top , and it will go to either
sister c or of the groups.

Now, before the break, they both gave
the most important performance of their

lives as they sang for survival. Now their mentor,
Simon Cowell, has to pick just one act to go

into the top . For the other
act, it's the end of the road.

Yes. Simon, the pressure is on!
This is it.

I can make...
I can make an argument for both of

these groups. I think sister c, now I've
got to know you, I think there is a

gap in the market for a group like you.
I've really enjoyed working with

you. And I think there's a lot
we could do together in the

competition. Girls, I think when you
came to my home visit show, amazing.

We had a bit of a wobble last night.
Tonight was much, much better.

But... and I've got to really, really like you.
But I have to make this decision

based on my head. Do you understand that?
And this may not make me

popular. Maybe this is going
to be a bit of a surprise.

Simon, with that
said, please tell us the name of the

Actually,
let me make this more positive, because I'd

rather end a little positive. I'd like to say
the name of the group I'm going to save.

Simon, I'm sorry. We need the
name of the act you are sending home.

- I like happy news.
- We all like happy news.

But, unfortunately, we're going to have to deal
with a little bit of sad news for the moment.

Okay. The act I
am going to send home is...

- the act I'm sending home is sister c.
- Congratulations .

You are in the top . We will see you next week.

It was a no-brainer. They're amazing.
We're just going to keep going

Do you
have anything you want to say to Simon?

- It has been wonderful working with you.
- Well done, sister c.

- Simon, I know there's something you want to say.
- Girls, girls, can I

talk to you? I have to say one thing.
We have made one mistake.

I can't live with this name .
This is what I'm going to ask.

I'm going to ask the public through The X Factor
website to submit a name and the public are

You heard Simon.
We're going to submit a name.

Everybody submit their name for the new .
