Last week the performance was fantastic. You're really special.
I think I'm going crazy because it was really good.
The first contestants left the competition.
And for the first time, the voter rankings were revealed.
But tonight, who will win your votes as the final 12 take on the songs of the divas.
L.A. Reid and the over 25s. Demi Lovato and the young adults.
Simon Cowell and the groups. And Britney Spears and the teens.
My category is pulling out all the stops and you'll see
- The music. - This week the over 25s
will come out and slay the competition.

Live from Hollywood ...it's "The X Factor."
Please welcome your hosts, Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian Odom.
Hey, everyone. Welcome to "The X Factor."
Good evening. I'm Mario Lopez.
And I'm Khloe Kardashian Odom.
Tonight the top 12 take the stage hoping they will blow your minds so much you're going to
vote for them. But the pressure is really on this week because not one, but
- two acts are leaving the competition. - That's right.
And last week for the very first time we revealed the ranking of the top 12 acts based on how you
voted. Now, there's the leader board right there, okay?
And as you can see, right at the top, it's Tate Stevens at number one.
And if you look at the bottom, it's Cece frey. So, obviously, she's hoping to
do better this week. But tonight we wipe the slate clean.
All the acts get a fresh start. Now, the theme for this week is divas.
And divas don't come any bigger than these four. Please welcome The X Factor
judges.
- Demi Lovato. - Simon Cowell.
And Britney Spears. Okay. Now, as I said earlier, the
Yes, and I know all about divas because I grew up
I bet you did. But you all are nice people.
Anyway, all the songs tonight were made famous by some of the biggest musical divas on the
planet, singers like Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Donna summer.
- These ladies definitely know a little something about that. - Just a little bit.
So, Mr. L.A. Reid, you have the least amount of people in the competition, but yet you had the
strongest people in the leader board. How do you feel tonight?
- That seems appropriate. I'm that good. - You're confident about
it? Okay. And, miss Britney Spears,
tonight it's all about divas. Do you have any divas in your act?
You know, I feel really confident for my group tonight.
They're amazing. They did really great in rehearsal.
My little latina diva, Demi, how do you feel about the
I feel my performers deserved to be a little bit
- higher, but tonight I think we're going to achieve that. - Finally, I'm going to
talk to one of the biggest divas of them all. Mr. Simon Cowell.
None of your acts placed in the top four. Are you surprised about that?
You know what? I call last week a blip. I think based on what you're
going to see tonight, these groups are going to go much higher in the leader board.
Thank you, Mr. Cowell. Now, America, we want your input
on the contestants' performances. Are they diva not or diva not.
Tweet to the hashtag below. There is a lot of pressure on everyone tonight.
At stake is a place in the top 10. Let's start with one of the
young adults and they're mentored by Demi Lovato. Demi.
There couldn't be a better way to start off the divas night.
This is my incredibly talented and very feisty, beautiful jennel.
This week is diva week and Demi really wants me to go all out this performance.
This week is not about performing for yourself. It's about performing on the
audience. I'm really focusing on working the entire stage.
Dance is a part of my life. I've been a dancer for about 12 years.
My students are like my inspiration. Are you nervous when you
perform on stage? Yeah, it's like when you guys go to competition, but it's like
in front of Britney Spears. I want to show them no matter how small a place you come from,
you can always follow your dreams. I love you guys.
Coming in seventh, jennel Garcia. What we want this week is for
you to be on top. I want to talk to you about maybe just bringing maybe more
of the jennel we saw in the beginning back. Give it your all.
You're kind of like the rock star next door. This is a diva-themed week.
I want everyone to see she can potentially be one of those great divas.
This is your performance, and I need you to completely own it. I am going to work super
hard, because being here means everything to me. This means everything.
Jennel Garcia.

Yeah, jennel. Starting out with a bang.
You know what? You just returned to the competition.
That smoked. Tina would be proud
Jennel, you know, I've been a bit critical of you over
the last couple of weeks, because I loved your first audition.
Didn't like the way that it was going. But I have to say...
Haven't finished yet. You are back in the game.
That's what we wanted. You looked better.
You sound better. You were having more fun. Like a different person.
- I'm glad you listened to me. - Jennel, I'm so
unbelievably proud of you. What a way to kick off the night.
You do look amazing. And I think together we really nailed it.
So, hopefully, people are going to show their voting for you a lot higher than last week,
because you deserve it this week. Thanks.
Congratulations, jennel. Thanks.
Simon's right. There has been tough criticism towards you.
Is there something you want to say? No.
- Demi, are you proud? You're so proud. - I listened to Simon and
- I think he knows what he's talking about. - You did listen.
Everybody, if you want jennel to stay out of danger tomorrow night, you have to vote, but not
I'm going to give you all the details on how to vote
later. Voting will be open, by the way, two hours after the show, so
you've got no excuse. Make sure your favorite goes through.
After the break it's Tate Stevens. He came in at number one last
week. Can he do it again? We'll be right back for you to
find out.
Welcome back to The X Factor. The xtra factor app gives you
exclusive access to backstage cameras. With verizon voting, you can use
the app to vote for your favorite act on your smartphone or tablet.
Head over to thexfactorusa.Com to get the app. Back to you, Khloe.
And you can use the app to vote your favorite apps. If you're a verizon subscriber,
you can vote by text. A couple of of clicks, a little thumb action, you're done.
Up next, it's the first of the over 25s. Here's L.A. Reid.
This is my guy performing a song by the diva Shania twain, Tate Stevens.
Tate Stevens is our number one vote getter. I have my family here so when
I come off stage, I can kiss them and hug them. It feels awesome.
Did you forget my face? No. I met your whole family.
They're so sweet. I love them. I remember when we met, we
were in high school. She was a senior. I was a junior.
People say, oh, you're too young. You don't know what love is.
When you are meant to be, you know, I met my life when I was 17.
As weird as that sounds, I knew it was something different than just puppy love.
It could be a little storybook-ish, but it's been that way 15 years.
I'm doing Shania twain, "from this moment." That's such a romantic song.
She's going to love it. She was able to witness you rank number one.
How was that? It's big for my family, but last week's last week.
I have zero right now. I have to get to number one. Here we go.
Challenge this week, honestly, is sell it. One thing is missing, your
wife. You're not singing to your wife. I need it to be very specific to
her. Being able to bring the emotion to the song means
everything. It's tough, but that's what makes it worth it.
Tate Stevens.

Your performance was so heart-felt.
I loved it. And your vocals were amazing. Thank you.
- Um, oh, you are so good. - Just stop there.
You were very good. You were very good.
Tate, Tate, this is going to be really, really
annoying for me to say, because Mr. smug on my right is suddenly happy.
Tate, that was better than last week. Thank you.
And I tell you why, I think. I think the direction you were
given was really good. I think you've got confidence now, knowing that you're number
one. And you know what? When we designed this show, we
designed this show with no operation. Regardless of your age, if
you've got a dream and a talent, this show is going to give you another chance.
I'm going to tell you, the winner of this show is going to get $5 million.
I would be happy to write you that check.
Those are big words. Those are big words. By the way, he can write that
Tate, I know you did an incredible job and your wife
was backstage. Were you singing that to your wife?
Is there anything you want to say to her?
Listen up, everyone, if you like what you're hearing
on the show tonight, you can download all of the performances.
- Just head on over to thexfactorusa.Com. - You can let it out.
Let it out. Let it out. I see you holding it back.
After the break, a singer who finished fourth in the rankings last week.
It's diamond white.
Welcome back to "the x factor." The theme this week is divas,
and I'm in the middle of a few divas from our audience right now.
We're celebrating some of the biggest singers ever to have picked up a microphone.
And, of course, each week the pressure on the acts gets even more intense.
So let's go backstage right now and check out how their nerves are holding up.
Thanks, Mario. I think the pressure's getting
to everybody. It's a little more somber back here.
Arin, the judges have been pretty positive tonight. Does that put more pressure on
you? Not really. You just try to go by the
performances and worry about yourself because they can get some other great stuff, but
- maybe not you. It's really intense. - Does staying back here
and watching the shows, does that help you or make you more nervous?
It kind of makes you more nervous. Everyone so far has murdered it.
Tate and jennel. I think the next person will kill it.
Good luck tonight, arin. I know you'll do great.
Let's go back to the stage. It's the first performer from the teens.
Here's their mentor, Britney Spears. Britney?
The Mike was made for her because she is definitely a diva.
In fourth place is diamond white.
Coming back and getting fourth place in the rankings, that made me feel awesome.
I'm so happy! I gave up everything to let her go after her dreams.
Coming back and being in the top four, that's amazing. Just to see you smile again, oh,
my God. I just want to say thank you for bringing me back.
Honestly, when I got eliminated, my whole spirit, I was so hurt. Now that I'm back, it makes me
- appreciate it and want it more. - You don't have to thank me.
You're meant to be here, sweetie. I chose "halo" by Beyonce for
diamond. The chorus is so strong. There's a potential for you to
go off-key. I'm going to work extra hard and perfect my song.
We definitely made the right decision bringing her back.
The pressure is on because this could all be taken away like that.
Diamond white.

- Hello, diamond. Hi. - You know, you picked...
you picked a really tough song. Those are really big shoes to fill.
And you filled them. I was concerned, though, because
I'm not going to lie. You started out shaky. You really did.
By the time you got about 3/4 of the way through the song, you started to kick in.
- So good job. Thank you. - This week is kind of
perfect for you, because you are a total diva in the best way possible.
You really give the rest of the competition a run for their money.
Diamond, actually, you look so much better than you did
- last week. Thank you. - My advice is don't
walk and sing at the same time, because that did bother you. Okay.
I think the second half of the track was much better than the first half.
You know what's interesting when I look at you and when I hear you, diamond, and I really do
believe this. I think we're looking at a future star.
I really do. Thank you.
I think you're someone who just has to practice, practice, practice.
I'm so happy you've come back in this show. Thank you.
I am so incredibly proud of you.
You just keep getting better and it amazes me every time. I'm so proud of you.
Well, obviously, since it's diva week, what would you
say is the biggest diva thing about you? The biggest diva thing about
me is when I get on stage, I like to switch to my middle name.
You have an alter ego. Up next, the youngest singer in the competition.
Tonight she tackles a massive cyndi lauper hit. When we come back, it's Beatrice
Miller.
Welcome back to "the x Now, here's a quick
reminder of just what the acts are fighting for. The X Factor prize is going to
truly change someone's life forever, whoever wins. Not only will the winner walk
away with a $5 million recording contract, but, like so many global pop stars, including one
direction and our very own Britney Spears, the winner will also become the next Pepsi
And it gets even better.
Pepsi will help launch the winner's career by producing their first music video and the
video will get an exclusive debut during music's biggest night, the grammys.
Back to the battle for your votes.
Tonight we're celebrating some of music's greatest divas. Up next is one of the teens, so
She's had a really tough week this week, but I'm
sure she's going to bring it. This is The next act
through... Beatrice Miller. Well done.
I was feeling really happy, really proud of myself. Then they had to make me sad by
- telling me I was 10th out of 12th. - In 10th place is
Beatrice Miller. I'm going to work hard, but I just don't know if it will be
I'm really excited about this week.
It's diva week. And I chose this song, cyndi lauper's "time after time."
I know you're going through struggles at home. It's just a lot of pressure
for a 13-year-old to have to deal with knowing if I go home, my family's lost hope.
It's really difficult. Neither of my moms have a job right now.
It makes my house really stressful. It's just not a good environment
I don't think you should ever completely lose all
hope. This is a whole new week. Just try to have a different
outlook on things. But I understand what you're going through, and I'm here for
you. Thank you. I need to perform the best I can
in the competition so that I can get my family out of the situation that we've been stuck
in for a really long time. Don't worry about me and your mom, okay?
All those problems out of your head. Just sing the way you know you
can. Okay, sweetie?

Beatrice, first of all, you are so cute. Oh, my God.
How is it possible that someone 13 can have that kind of voice? I don't get it.
- I really don't get it. Thank you. - That's the good news.
The bad news is I don't think that was the greatest song choice, because it didn't allow
you to peak. You didn't get a chance to peak and show your chops as well as I
know you can. You did really good. It's the song's fault, not
You are so freaking
adorable. It's ridiculous. I ...I liked the song choice,
because I think it really showcased a different side of you that we haven't seen.
Your voice... I didn't know that you could sound so soulful and your tone is incredible.
You did amazing. Thank you so much.
I think it was better than last week. You see, I disagree with L.A.
I think when you push your vocals, that's when you don't sound good.
I like you in the lower register. Having said that, I thought the
song was boring. It just went on and on and on and on and on.
But, so, you know, it's song choice, you know. For some reason, Britney isn't
- quite getting the right songs for you. - Simon, she has more
talent in her pinkie than you did in all of your contestants together.
I think your performance was incredibly special. It was beautiful.
And your tone, you have such a soulful tone for such a young age.
Britney's getting defensive.
All right. Good job, Beatrice. Hey, listen, if you want
Beatrice to definitely make it through to next week, you have to support her.
So vote. But don't do anything until the end of the show.
Okay. Here's the next act. It's the first of the groups.
Okay. I just want to say before I
introduce the act, we changed this song at midnight last night.
So they've had a few hours... it's not going to be bad. It's going to be brilliant.
Is that a disclaimer? It's just a fact. I just want people to know
they've worked very, very hard. The song is a Katy Perry song and a queen song.
It's lyric 145. Now that we're here, that we're this close to changing our
lives, our family life forever... come here.
We made it to week three. The more work we put in, continue to impress people, do
better than we did last week. I loved it. Are you from the east coast?
Yes. Is your family still there in New York?
Yes. Were they affected at all? Yeah.
When we heard about superstorm Sandy, knowing that our family, friends, and our old schools are
going through something difficult, we would want to be there.
Our family is definitely the most important thing in our life.
Hello, mother. How are you? We don't have cable.
We don't have Internet, you know. Just hanging in there, you know.
All right. Love you. We love you guys.
We want to be there and help them in this situation. Not only our friends and family,
but the community. The whole east coast. Knowing that a lot of things
were lost, some people lost their houses and some people lost lives.
Feel that pain. It's like, wow, we've got to go an extra step because we've got
to do it for them. So this week's performance is definitely going to be
everything. We're coming back with a prize. We're coming back with a win.
Our hearts are on the east coast, but our minds are focused here.

Okay. I'm confused. I'm confused.
Who was the diva? Was it queen? It was mostly a queen song.
- Freddie Mercury was a diva. - I'm not going to argue
that. I am concerned. I am concerned.
That was good. And it was better than last week, which I thought was a
disaster, honestly, right? But, but, I don't know, I just think you guys lost your way.
- This could be the last time we see you. - Simon, I feel like
they're a hip hop group and they should be doing I... I feel like
Freddie Mercury is a diva on his own. I don't know why we had to add a
song that didn't make much sense. I don't feel like "et" fit at
all. Thank you. We love you, too.
I don't get it. Well, I did get it. And I think people at home will
get it. And I've got to tell you, I said what I said beforehand because
you had literally hours to put this together. And the one thing about you
guys, you never complain. You just get on with it. You bring an energy this show
needs. And I hope people pick up the phone and keep you in the
You had this place rocking.
Up next, it is arin ray. He was in 11th place last week, so the pressure is definitely on
tonight as he takes on a Madonna hit. We'll be right back.
Stay with us.
Welcome back, everybody, to "the x factor." Tomorrow night we'll find out
- who you put through to next week. - Listen up, everyone.
Performing live on the show tomorrow, multiaward-winning superstar Taylor swift.
Taylor is going to be here performing her brand-new single
and, of course, we're going to get those crucial results from tonight's vote.
Who's going home? You're going to have to find out tomorrow night at 8:00, 7:00
Tomorrow's going to be kind of depressing.
Yes, I know. It's important you vote.
Yes. So let's see if the next singer will have you grabbing for your
phones. It's one of the teens. Here's their mentor, Britney
This guy has done so great in rehearsals.
I'm sure he's going to have a performance that will melt your heart.
In 11th place is arin ray. Last week I was ranked 11th.
Being ranked 11th sucks. That means there's something missing.
- This is definitely a big week for me. - Last week you were
low on the rankings, but it's a new week. I chose "crazy for you" by
Madonna. Your voice will be really, really cool and smooth on that.
When Britney told me I'd be singing "crazy for you" I was really excited.
I have friends I can possibly be singing that to, so it will be really cool.
You'll be really good. My future sister-in-law.
We're just friends right now. I think it's really cool to have somebody like her.
She's very, very special to me. Just really hope that I can make it through this week so I don't
have to go home. Going home sucks. I'll miss you.
You would? I'll miss you, too. This week I don't have anybody
on stage with me. It's just me and my voice and you know I'm going to work 10
million times harder than I did last week because you're only as good as your last performance.

Arin, I'm struggling with that. I'm really struggling with that.
You know, I dig you. I think you're amazing. But for whatever reason, I want
goose bumps. You're now in the heart of the competition.
This is a $5 million prize, and I didn't get a $5 million performance.
I agree with L.A. I feel like I was, honestly,
really bored watching it. And I... I feel like you have a tendency to not go the soulful
route, which is what, you know ...what you should be doing.
I didn't get the song choice. But I think you also lack soul at the same time.
Arin, can I be honest with you?
It looked like you hated it as well. You just didn't seem into it.
I know that we had that false intro. But, you know, you taking on
that song is like asking a cat to eat a tiger. What?
In other words, it's just not right for you. And the wrong kind of song, and
it did sound a bit boring. And I think you could be in trouble tonight.
- I - have to disagree with everyone.
I felt that the song is one of my favorite Madonna songs and I feel like you nailed it.
We had a little bit of a technical difficulty before
arin's song, but I handled it like a pro. Thank you.
I think I know someone who has goose bumps from watching you.
Nice looking couple with you and normani. If you want arin to be back next
week, you have to vote for him. Up next, a young singer from Phoenix, Arizona, sing a Donna
summer megahit. It's Paige Thomas coming up.
Welcome back to "The X Factor." The next act is one of
the young adults. Here's their mentor, Demi Lovato.
This next performer is a total diva.
I think that she's going to rock it tonight and I'm really proud of her.
You don't want to turn this into a karaoke competition.
I've been to enough karaoke bars. There has never been anyone that
has sung the way you just did. Maybe we just need people to connect with you.
I think the perfect song for you would be "last dance." I would love to see you having a
great time and at the same time pull something out of your personal experiences that you've
been through and put it into your performance. One of my most fondest
memories as a kid was my mom. I remember being young and singing with her in the kitchen.
My mother is the reason why I wanted to be a performer. She was a singer, too.
This means a lot to me. I get to live out our dreams for the both of us.
I'm excited to do this song because everything about this song screams out my mom.
The only thing I can hope for now is that people will see that's sincere.
When I was 6, my mom passed away on Christmas Eve in a car accident.
♪ In the arms of the angel all my memories of her are happy memories.
When I'm on stage, I feel like I have my mother. She's not with me, but I feel
like she's with me on stage.

Hello, Paige. You get a pass. That was your best yet.
It was like a disco ball exploded on stage.
It was like the best disco throwback ever. It was really good.
I'm with L.A. I think that was probably your
best performance so far. Having said that... thank you.
And, again, I have to blame your mentor here. I think the choreography for the
ncers and what was going on behind you, very distracting. You didn't need that.
You needed to be in the spotlight. I loved my dancers, Simon.
Actually, I wanted something totally different on stage.
Oh, really, really. But with your performance, you took my mind
off all of that and you nailed it and I'm so proud of you. So, hopefully, when America
votes for you tonight, they'll be able to see within the next week that you will see the fun
Great job. Love those lips, by the way.
If you want to see Paige safe and through to next week, you have to vote tonight.
Here's the next act. It's one of the groups. Simon?
Um, my next group... if it's diva week, you've got to do Mariah, right?
So it's fifth harmony singing "hero." After our performance last
week... I thought we were going home. The fact that we got top five
was like whoa. We just want to kiss and hug everybody.
The last couple of weeks we've blended so well together. We have so much chemistry.
Off the stage we do everything together. And I feel like we've become
like sisters. We're like the same person in five different bodies.
Okay, hit it. I'm the oldest of three kids. I'm the big sister.
I'm used to getting people in check. I'm used to dance
competitions and pageants. I definitely know when to turn it on.
I come from a family who loves to laugh and enjoy life. I think they rubbed off on me.
I'm the oldest. I try to be the role model. I don't know why I'm goofy.
I just am. If somebody had come up to you and told you you'll be with
four other girls you never met, meet one direction and be mentored by Demi Lovato, I would
have thought they were crazy. It's amazing the feeling I get whenever I sing with these
girls. I feel like I have my sisters by my side.
- They won't let me down and I won't let them down. - Fifth harmony.

There's something... there's something really lovable
about all of you. Lovable. You picked a really tough song.
And I think you struggled in the beginning, honestly. But somewhere in there it turned
into a really great performance, and I'm happy for you. Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you. - I was extremely
impressed, you guys. I think Simon is doing amazing with you guys.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
You guys did an incredible job on the song. I was really worried I was going
to be bored, but you guys... your vocals just killed it. Really great.
Girls, you know what? Maybe this isn't a one-horse
race. Maybe there's a chance that five girls with brilliant voices
could actually win this show. And I want America to pick up the phone and vote for you,
because I think that you are absolutely brilliant. You're great fun to work with,
great vocals, work hard, and you all love puppies. Yes, we do.
Great job, girls. Super divas on the stage right now.
After the break, 13-year-old carly rose sonenclar performs a song from one of the biggest
movies of all time. We'll be right back. Stay with us.
Welcome back to "the x factor." The theme this week is divas.
Yes, and let's go to our very own diva, Britney Spears.
This little girl is a powerhouse, and you girls are going to be so amazed.
Last week after you performed you were a little emotional. What was that about?
It was a lot of things. Like my dad just came here and for the first time in a long
time I've seen him and my mom. And they're just like here together.
Is it really... it just kind of all came out. My dad's supportive of
everything I do. I'm lucky that he is. He recorded a lot of me singing.
I was singing for my dad. Now I'm singing in front of America.
I'm so proud of you and I've always told you this. Not because of the results of
anything you've ever done, but because of the work you put into it and the effort you put into
it. That's what makes me the proudest.
I'll always be there. This is diva week. You are a little diva.
Thank you. And that's why I've chosen Celine Dion's "my heart will go"
on." It's exciting. "Titanic" is my favorite movie.
I feel like it's such a powerful song for her. She will be as good as miss
- Celine Dion herself. I think it will be a killer. - Carly rose
sonenclar.

Hi, carly. Britney, it pains me to say this.
It really does. I don't want to say this, but we could be looking at the winner.
Really good. Thank you so much.
Oh, you're so good! Honestly, it just doesn't make sense.
Like I don't believe that that's your voice. I feel like Celine Dion is here,
- and she's hiding. Thank you. - How old are you?
- You're 13 years old. I am. - Then I don't believe
you're a human being. I actually don't. Because you can't do that at 13.
Your control on that song, and I thought I was going to hate it, and that note at the end, was
- absolutely incredible. Thank you. - I mean, incredible.
Carly, I'm so proud of you.
I have chills all over my body. You're spectacular, sweetie. You're very good.
You did a fantastic job. I know your parents are
backstage. Do you want to say anything to them?
Thank you for getting me h e here. And I love you.
After the break, the singer you voted into third place last week, from
waynesville, Missouri, it's vino Alan.
Welcome back to "the x factor." Now, just a quick reminder, you
can download all of tonight's performances from thexfactorusa.Com.
- I love diva night. Who's the bigger diva, you or I? - I can't compete with
Okay, I win. Up next is the final singer from
- the over 25s. Let's go to L.A. Reid. - Yeah, you know what?
I'm really proud of this guy. He's come so far. I think in the beginning he was
an underdog in the competition, but he came out in number three last week.
This week he's going to perform a song from the diva Tina Turner.
This is vino and the song is "let's stay Third place goes to
vino Alan. To be ranked number three last week feels great.
Three it is. Three it is. My mom and my son flew thousands
of Miles from Missouri to be out here while I was performing. It felt amazing.
You're the first priority. We believe in you and now we're here.
Vino's gone through many, many struggles.
He toesn't want his son to go through those same struggles. He really wants to deliver for
his son. I was married to sky's mom for four years.
It showed me what stability and that family unit could feel like.
When we divorced, it was very devastating to me, but everything in my life I know I
I want to remind you of one thing.
You were three, not one. In order for you to properly sing the song, you're going to
sing through love, through pain. Three is not one. I need one.
Vino has to come out this week and be even stronger than he was last week.
Vino Alan.

Your voice is so soulful.
It doesn't make sense that that voice comes out of your body, but it works.
- It really does. Thanks, Britney. - There's no doubt about
it that you have an incredible soulful voice. I liked this performance better
than last week's. But at the same time, I was... I was... I have to admit I was a
- little bored. What? - You sounded amazing,
- but I thought it was boring. Okay. - You know, vino, I was
actually happy to see you so high up in the rankings last week, because I think you needed
confidence. What I would say is that your voice is designed for what I
call a moment. You know, one of those songs that you can just kill.
That song wasn't that song. It wasn't as good as last week. It wasn't.
I promise you. I mean, I'm trying to be... I'll take everything you say.
I'm trying to be constructive. You need bigger kinds of songs.
In fact, I think the choose which you wanted to choose yourself would have been better.
He picked that with me. You know what? Let's stay together.
Vino, despite what the diva said, you put your soul
into that. You sang it so strong. Right?
You have a classic sounding voice. You have a classic voice.
One of the very best voices I've ever heard on this stage. And that song was a great
platform for it. And I'm really, really proud of you, my man.
- Really proud. - You had some mix going
on with the judges. You want to say anything to America?
They're the ones who vote for you. I appreciate you all's
support as far as like what is pop. They said huey Lewis wasn't pop.
It's really important you guys vote from home.
All the acts are counting on you. You don't want them... I just
fumbled. You don't want to wait 'til the end of the show, or else your
When we come back, a big Alicia keys megahit.
It's emblem3.
Welcome back. This is "The X Factor" diva night.
- Right now here is the final act from the groups. - And here's Simon.
I'm not trying to get people to vote for this group
intentionally, but I just want everyone to know at home that they saved kittens from drowning
in a lake this week and risked their own lives. Thought I'd mention that.
Anyway, the diva song we're singing is Alicia keys' "no one."
Sixth place goes to emblem3.
Simon, where did you think they were going to come in on the leader board?
Number one. Sixth place was a shock. We've been getting so many good
compliments. Showed us we really need to work.
I think it's a complete disaster the fact we're sixth.
It really bothers me. I expect it to be higher this week.
It's like really weird to hear number six. I was like, six, are you feeling
okay? I was kind of shaken about the rankings.
I realize we have something to work towards now. I take this competition very
seriously, because when I was in high school, I was really struggling with finding my
identity. We dropped out my senior year.
I had a realization, I have to flip everything around and start doing something positive.
Best thing that ever happened was starting a band. I always knew I got wes,
keaton. They always kept me in check. We'll always be there.
Me and keaton, we've got your back. We beat the odds.
We definitely did. We're here to work. We're here to dedicate our lives
to this. It's what we live for. Yeah.

Emblem3, you guys have the perfect vocal blend. It was the perfect song.
You are complete superstars in my opinion. And you're exactly what this
show needs. I could not be happier. Thank you so much.
It is such an honor to be on the stage. I love everybody.
- Thank you so much. Thank you so much. - I totally get why the
girls are swooned by you. You guys are complete heartthrobs.
What I enjoy about watching you guys is you're genuinely happy and you have
such a great energy. I think it was definitely better than last week.
You've definitely showed an improvement. Thank you.
Guys, you know, when the results came in last week,
when we saw you in seventh place, there is no way you should be that low in the
competition. And I think this time on the back of that performance we're
going to see you right at the top, because it was absolutely brilliant.
Thank you. Please vote. Please vote.
After the break, it is Cece frey. She survived a sing-off last
week, but the pressure is on her again tonight. We'll be right back after this.
Welcome back to "the x factor." In just a few minutes, the
voting lines will be open and you'll decide which acts go through to next week.
- The results will be revealed tomorrow night. - And we'll have a
sensational performance from one of the bigge esgest stars on th planet, Taylor swift, you won't
Here is the final act of the night.
It's the last of the young adults. Let's go to Demi Lovato.
I genuinely believe that this next performer, I saved the best for last.
She's going to do incredible tonight. And she's going to show you how
bad she wants this. Give it up for Cece frey. Last week I was in the bottom
two. It's scary. Every day is starting to feel
like an elimination day. I can't go home now. It sucks.
My mom's at home and she's watching me every week. It does get hard.
Seeing the other contestants with their family here, my family is at home.
Every week we're so excited to see you. I really miss you guys.
Seeing you is making me homesick. It's not that my parents
wouldn't be here. We don't have the money to just fly out here.
We would be out there in a heartbeat. I know.
It does get tough, you know. It's tough for them to fly from decatur to here because I'm
having a hard time will cost them a few thousand dollars. I love you.
I miss you, mom. Bye. This week I am in dire need
We need to re-establish who Cece is.
I need to remind everybody that I do have the talent to be here.
Your family is not here. Sing to them in the camera. They're watching at home.

Hello, Cece. Oh, my God. I'm just at a loss for words,
you know. You sang the song really well. It's an improvement.
It really is. But you always sing really well. So I don't know what to say.
I... Hater. Don't like your dress.

bottom and my vino was number three. My guess is she'll be at the
- We'll see. - I know that I'm right.
- Sorry. I just don't get it. - Say something to
Britney. You've got so much lip. Say something to Britney.
Cece, I like you because you're a trier. But the song was called "all by"
"myself." And I think you would have been better singing it on your own.
With no one else in the room. It was very cabaret. The wind machine.
All the gimmicks. For whatever reason, you're not getting it right together, you
- two. Something isn't working. - I think that tonight of
all the other nights that we've seen you perform, I think that you nailed it.
And I feel like also, I feel like they're being way too hard on you.
Of all the people in the competition, I know you want it the most.
Hopefully America will see that and root for you. I accept the criticism.
I'm just going to keep working on this. I'll do my best out here.
Good for you. That's all you can do. Listen, you've seen all 12 acts.
