X FACTOR USA: TOP 12

Ok Yes i know I'm late, but hey i have a life too ya know! Ha that and the fact that the top 12 gave very mediocre performances on "Diva" night and the whole show is one big mess. Sorry to say that last season was much much more organized, i even miss Steve Jones and Nicole whats her face. You know somethings wrong when Britney is the best judge and mentor on the show, well other than Simon. Lets just hurry up and rank these performances from worst to best..

12. CeCe Frey

"All By Myself"

When i saw that CeCe was going last i thought maybe she dyed her hair brown again and was going to blow us away. But she totally butchered this song. Her pitch was waayy off and i just cant even stand to look at her anymore, it seems shes always crying and in desperation. Like i said before the CeCe we first knew is no longer with us.

4/10

11. Paige Thomas

"Last Dance"

When she first started her vocals were actually really good i was thinking to myself maybe paige has finally won me over, but then she turned it into a dance track the way she does with all her performances. It seems like the only words she could say were "last dance" repeated over and over. I hated it. Paige really needs to just have a intimate performance for once.

5/10

10. Lyric145

"We Will Rock You/ E.T"

Freddy Mercury is a diva?? Whatever Simon, another damn mashup?? Come on Simon. This group has been lead down the wrong path that's all. Yeah they can take a song and make it a hip hop cover but to do it every week? They had plenty of hip hop divas to pick from. This performance was a big mess and lyrics attitude didn't help one bit.

5/10

09. Arin Ray

"Crazy For You"

Aww he dedicated this to his little girlfriend, but jeez this was boring. No doubt hes vocals were alright not the best but he sounded good. I just don't think this was the right song for him to choose. And the fact that he isn't very popular, he really needs to be giving crazy good performances, this wont get him any votes. I think Britney will do her best with him though i actually think Britney's a great mentor.

6/10

08. Diamond White

"Halo"

On paper this was a perfect song for diamond to sing but for some reason it just didn't come together. She started off sounding extremely nervous and shaky, it got alot better towards the end but unfortunately it was too late for me to care. i think her momentum from being brought back is wearing off. She has no chance of doing what Melanie amaro did.

6.5/10

07. Fifth Harmony

"Hero"

This was a let down from what they did last week, they all sounded great individually but then the whole thing sounded like a mess i don't know what went wrong. Lauren sounded amazing i love her but Camila surprisingly sounded really off and not in tune. I hope next week they do something other than just sing a ballad.

7/10

06. Jennel Garcia

"Proud Mary"

No No No just NO! worst song for jennel to sing. #1 No one is ever going to have a moment with this song and #2 jennel is a rockstar. I think she did the best she could do with this song and she sounded good like always but it was nothing special. Jennel has great potential but demi has no idea what shes doing.

7/10

05. Emblem3

"No One"

If there were a list of songs to never be sung in a singing competition ever again, this would be top 5. This song has been done so many times, but luckily for emblem3, i don't think its ever been done by a group of three white guys. They actually did pretty good with it, yeah their vocals are no where near perfect but like i said these guys have a really cool sound to them and anything they sing they will make their own. i wonder if they can still win though, America doesn't vote for contestants with douchebag attitudes. 

7.5/10

04. Tate Stevens

"From This Moment"

A tribute to his wife, and more family man edits, can you just give him the crown now? Haha really America just eats this stuff up. Tate gave a decent vocal but it wasn't anything great. If you want to see a performance like this just tune into American idol or the cma's haha. I still find his performances boring but i cant lie that the man is probably going to win the entire show.

7.5/10

03. Beatrice Miller

"Time After Time"

Cindy Lauper was a diva?!? Haha ok well I'm super happy about this performance, the Beatrice that i love came back. her tone was lovely and she didn't stretch her vocals, she kept it nice and soft. i don't understand how the judges praised her other performance which i thought were horrible but they hate this one? I loved it perhaps my second favorite of the night. 

8/10

02. Vino Alan

"Lets Stay Together"

I love this song and i love Vinos voice, with that being said i loved this performance haha. He sounded great and he looks like hes having a really great time. yeah i think he was touching one too many fan hands but this was hands down more entertaining than anything else from the entire night.

8/10

01. Carly Rose 

"My Heart Will Go On"

Is it crazy that the best singer of the entire show is a 13 year old child? Its sad but true, this performance was  amazing, best of the night by a mile! her pitch was perfect the emotion was spot on and she hit her big notes with ease. Very impressive. Also the song choice was a bit cheesy but it didnt even matter she killed it. 

9/10

X FACTOR USA: TOP 13 RESULTS

Ok I know am not the only one to say this but, The new hosts just make things so awkward especially khloe she looks like shes reading her lines like "HELLO...WELCOME ...TO...THE ...X...FAC...TOR".  Maybe they'll get better but i doubt it. Other than that the top 13 turned into a top 12 with one contestant getting the boot, also for the first time ever they announced the contestants rankings from Americas votes. Pretty cool idea but i hope they don't do it every week. 

Safe:

Arin Ray

Beatrice Miller

Diamond White

Vino Alan

Bottom 2:

CeCe Frey

Where was this CeCe on performance night? even though her vocals aren't perfect and the tears look forced, it was 1000x better than that crap she did the night before. Demi really needs to work something out for her or shes gone by next week.

Jason Brock

Not a surprise here, Jason is a lovable guy but his performances are pretty boring. He sings great but i can never connect with him. I hope LA is regretting the day he chose him over David Correy (Yes am still on that!)

LA Reid sends home CeCe

Demi sends home Jason

Britney sends home CeCe

Simon sends home Jason

12. CeCe Frey

Wow this was very unexpected, some of the best are just in the middle, and people like Vino are in the top 3, crazy. As for Tate I guess who ever watches American idol also watches The Xfactor haha. 

X FACTOR USA: TOP 13

Last Night the top 12...no.. top 13! sang songs from the movies which meant they can pick pretty much whatever they want haha. But this was a huge improvement from last week, most of the contestants sounded vocally good and some even made me change my mind about them.

As for the judges/mentors...Britney is getting better as a mentor but as a judge she pretty much says the same thing over and over. Demi on the other hand is a horrible mentor but shes better judge than Britney.

On to the performances ranked from worst to best

13. CeCe Frey
"Eye Of The Tiger"
Who's the blond chick on stage? Haha seriously i don't even recognize CeCe anymore, i loved her back at the judges home and at boot camp but Demi just ruined her. And not only is she a complete stranger but her vocals on this perfomance were horrendous, she looked awkward and she didn't bring any energy. I'm so done with CeCe.
4/10

12. Beatrice Miller
"Iris"
I loved Beatrice and i still think shes adorable and she has a really nice tone, but this was just painful to watch. Yeah she had confidence on stage but her vocals were bad. It sounded as if she was just talking and screaming the whole song. Beatrice is really starting to let me down =[
5.5/10

11. Jason Brock
"I Believe I Can Fly"
This tired out thing? #1 Very bad song choice #2 What the hell is he wearing #3 It was loungey. Of course he has a great voice but like i said before he isn't going to last very long in this competition. Its a shame they chose him over David Correy.
5.5/10

10. Vino Alan
"When A Man Loves A Woman"
He might have earned some points with his story about supporting the troops so that's good for him. As for song choice, its was a good song choice since Vino is a soul singer and not a rock singer. but all i was thinking about was how Joshua Ledet killed this song on American idol, so i wasn't jumping up and down about vinos performance. His vocals were good though.
7/10

09. Diamond White
"I Have Nothing"
Yay Diamonds back! haha I'm glad shes back and her performance was vocally great in my opinion, even though it wasn't perfect since its a really hard Whitney song. But i already heard her sing this before in bootcamp, so i was a little upset that they'd give her this song again instead of something new.
7.5/10

08. Tate Stevens
"Dead Or Alive"
I think this is Tates best performance so far. i had to watch it back couple of times because honestly sometimes when tate performs i find myself bored. but he was confident and he brought the right attitude to the song and his vocals were pretty good.
7.5/10

07. Paige Thomas
"Take My Breathe Away"
I'm going to hate myself for saying this but this was pretty good haha! The way she came down from the ceiling and the guy caressing her were all a bit too much but other than that her vocals were the best Ive heard from her. i think shes improving and she is becoming someone who can be a real pop star.
7.5/10

06. Emblem3
"My Girl/California Girl Mash up"
The beginning was a little rough i thought this was going to be a disaster but then they changed up the song and everything was ok haha. I love watching these dudes perform because everything they sing they make their own and they bring so much energy to the stage. It wasn't as good as last week but it was good enough to keep them safe.
8/10

05.Arin Ray
"American Boy"
Just like Paige, i hate to say it but this was good! he is really improving even though he still isnt the best singer. In this performance I liked his vocals at times but sometimes he sounds a little weak especially when he was moving around too much on stage. But hey this kid has potential if he keeps it up
8/10

04. Jennel Garcia
"I Love Rock N Roll"
Jennel sounded amazing like always and i love the way she sung her melodies but Simon is 100% right. I hate her new look that Demi gave her, I'm not buying the whole rockstar thing. I mean yeah she is a rockstar but i prefer the cute highlighted hair jennel. when shes on stage wearing all black she just looks a little uncomfortable.
8/10

03. Carly Rose Sonenclar
"It Will Rain"
So much better than last week, Carly's slowed down version of this song was incredible. I loved everything about this performance she even cried a little at the end...idk if it was genuine though haha, i think if she keeps this up she is definitely a shoe in for top 5.
8.5/10

02. Lyric145
"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocius"
How can they say that word so fast so many times! Haha this what a very interesting song choice and they made it work. From the costumes to the raps it was pure entertainment, they didn't even change up the original lyrics, pretty awesome. Its really hard not to like this trio.
9/10

01. Fifth Harmony
"A Thousand Years"
Formerly known as 1432 formerly known as Lylas Haha. I actually don't mind the new name and i don't mind this group at all. Last week i said that they would never work as a group..i was wrong they sounded freaking amazing. Camila is the lead singer now i guess but my personal favorites were Lauren and Dinah. This group is going to do very very well if they keep singing like this.
9/10

X FACTOR USA: TOP 16 RESULTS

And just like that we have our final 12, with four acts sent packing. For the most part i think the judges got it all wrong if you ask me but what can i expect from these judges that so far I'm really starting to not like. Demi is trying to hard and its failing her, Britney cant give good feedback, and la Reid seems as though he doesn't even care. Thank god for Simon.

Jennel Garcia(No Brainer)

SING OFFS

YOUNG ADULTS

CeCe Frey

She sang a ballad and it was leaps and bounds better than her performance on Wednesday but i honestly cant connect with her, shes going through an identity crisis.

Willie Jones

He sang pretty bad so he was obviously going home, its sad because i think he could have done really well, but Demi sucks as a mentor. Maybe he'd do better on American Idol.

Eliminated - Willie Jones

OVER 25'S

David Correy

He had the best performance from this group so i didn't understand this and he was LA's only chance of winning. I guess he thought people wouldn't like him. whatever.

Jason Brock

He sang okay, i felt no emotion though. yeah Jason is lovable but he wont last very long.

Eliminated - David Correy

TEENS

Arin Ray

Ive said it once and ill say it again, his voice isn't big enough he has no range whatsoever. he does have a nice tone and the little girls kinda like him i guess. But he wont win.

Diamond White

She sang so good it was probably the best sing off performance. I guess Britney just never really liked diamond.

Eliminated - Diamond White

GROUPS

Sister C

They sounded good but, I'm actually glad their gone because i cant stand listening to their voices for long. I just hate how the show tried to edit them as unlikeable.

Lylas or 1432 or IDK

5 Great solo performances hahah really that's what it sounds like. I don't think they'll ever do well as a group. oh and now their getting a new name again. 

Eliminated - Sister C 

X FACTOR USA: TOP 16

The top 16 performed last night on the x factor stage and let me just say how exhausted i am haha. The x factor is such an over the top show with all the lights and the staging is just crazy, Something you will never see on American idol. but of course this is the X factor and x factor isn't about just vocals. I was really exited about this top 16 and they were a bit underwhelming, well it was the first time they perform on the live show so I'm sure they were all nervous. But the only reason why it was just a bit underwhelming was the very bad song choices and i think some of the outfits and staging was a little too much.

The new hosts Mario Lopez and Kloe Kardashian ere actually pretty good i don't mind them at all. Also who would have guessed that the Groups would be the strongest category haha.

Lets get on with these performances!

Over 25's

L.A Reid

Vino Alan

"Gotta Be"

I was really excited to see what Vino was going to sing, and then this happened. Horrible song choice for Vino, i mean is LA trying to sabotage him? I see Vino more as a soul singer than a rockstar and i hope LA sees that. Well that's if Vino isn't sent packing tonight.. It started off pretty rough but he sort of held it together eventually. Definitely not his best. 

5.5/10

Jason Brock

"Dance Again"

Yes i was sort of entertained, kind of like watching a drag queen performance seriously haha. We all know Jason has a huge voice but this all seemed too flashy. His outfit, The staging, The dancers, This is not they way i see Jason brock. He might be in big trouble after this one.

5.5/10

Tate Stevens

"Tough"

You might call this boring but honestly i was glad to see a performance like this one, with a night full of over the top nonsense. He sounded good as always even though i still think his sound is very generic. Only problem i have is that this simple performances might only get you so far in a show like the x factor. 

5.5/10

David Correy

"My Love Is Your love"

I really hated the song choice, but other than that, he gave one of the vocally best performances of the night. He sounds pretty much like Bruno mars, no surprise there, and his range is just amazing. He hits those runs really well and i really felt his passion, Simon called it desperation? I call you giving it your all.

8/10

Teens

Britney Spears

Arin Ray

"Keep Me Holding On"

To be honest, i was actually entertained with this performance haha! It was like watching a little usher on stage and I'm sure that's what Britney is trying to do. But aside from that i wish i could judge his vocals, but unfortunately they were drowned out by smoke machines, loud music, and dancing. this would have been a much better performance without all those theatrics. but hey this is x factor.

6/10

Beatrice Miller

"I Wont Give Up"

Beatrice was my favorite so this was sorta hard for me to watch. what the hell was Britney thinking! First of all she looked like a rag doll. Second of all that big image of her in the background was awkward as heck. and thirdly why pick a damn Jason mraz song. Beatrice voice is gritty and edgy. She did the best she can do with it and since her tone is really nice it wasn't as bad as it could have been. She might go home

6/10

Diamond White

"Hey Soul Sister"

Ok its obvious now that Britney sucks at picking songs for these kids. this played out old thing was not the right song for diamond. But! i agree with Britney trying to show that diamond isn't just a power house singer. to my surprise diamond actually did pretty decent with the song. it was funky and had "swag" i really liked it. But whats up with the 90's outfit!?

7/10

Carly Rose Sonenclar

"Good Feeling"

Carly came in as a front runner and after this performance she still is no doubt but this was clearly not her best. she sounded great and she showed that she can go upbeat. but once again the staging and the outfit ruined most of the performance. i mean school girl? come on! She wont be going anywhere anytime soon. 

7.5/10

Young Adults

Demi Lovato

Paige Thomas

"Don't Hurt Me"

First let me say that Demi is trying too hard to change her contestants, no that Ive said that i want to say that i knew this would happen to Paige. Singing sucks, so they turn her into some mainstreem pop crap, like Rhianna, only Rhianna can actually sing. yeah i cant lie it was pretty interesting and they stage was neat but i hope this isn't what the x factor is looking for. 

5/10

Willie Jones

"Here For The Party"

Demi once again messed up, willie should be the nice country kid that everyone likes but this performance made him seem cheesy. The backup dancers were slutty and the vocals were just ok. I agree with Simon he definitely needs better songs that showcase his talent more.

5.5/10

CeCe Frey

"Because The Night"

It seems like she tried too hard to change her look and now people hate her even more, sucks that she cant get be likable no matter what she does. Her singing was just ok and i think she handled the stage well. Once again though there was a little too much going on for my liking. She could be going home tonight

6/10

Jennel Garcia

"Home Sweet Home"

The best one of this group so far, jennel did an awesome job with this song. She finally went back to that girl we all fell in love with in her first audition. Her vocals were great and her stage presence was on point. One of my favorites of the night and she definitely is becoming a front runner. 

8/10

Groups

Simon Cowell

Sister C

"Hell On Heels"

Maybe Simon doesn't know alot about country music and that's why he chose a song they already sang before haha. They did a good job of course they all have sing well and have great country sound. The problem i had was that they sounded like chipmunks, i cant listen to them for very long ha.

7/10

1432 

"We Are Never Getting Back Together"

They changed their names to numbers? That's stupid but whatever. I really liked this performance i think demi was just jealous or something i think they all have great voices and they haven't messed up yet. But i can agree that one of them really does stand out to me ( i don't know her name).

7/10

Lyric145

"Boom Shake The Room"

I disagree with LA i don't think it matters if this isn't real hip hop i still think they did an awesome job i really love their energy, and lyric da queen is still boss. I didn't like the gangnam style they randomly threw into there performance, it just didn't go well.

7.5/10

Emblem3

"One Day"

Simon's grin says it all, they were the best of the night and even if you dint like them you cant deny that this was a pretty awesome performance. They made the song sound like an original which i think they do with almost all of their songs. I think there vocals are getting better a well and even the little one is starting to get more confidence. loved it
