Hey, I'm mario lopez. Welcome to the x factor and the
Second night of our brand-new round, the four-chair challenge.

When she chose the final four over 25s: James kenney, Lillie
Mccloud, Jeff Gutt, and Rachel Potter.
Congratulations, guys. Demi saw the first four girls in
Her category, and she put 'em all in seats.

my name is simone torres.
I'm 19 years old.
I'm from long island, new york,
And a student at berklee college
Of music.
I've always been pretty nerdy and awkward, and I may not be as
Glamorous as some of the other girls in the competition, but
I love to perform, and that's where I really come into my own.
When I was nine, I started singing with my dad at weddings,
Restaurants, and it's hard to believe in yourself when you are
Singing at restaurants and only one person is listening to you,
So you start to doubt yourself and your ability, but this
Competition has really showed me that I do have something.
? mustang sally ? yeah
? why don't you be ? the artist
bravo! ? and make me out of clay?
oh! ? why don't you be
don't cry. ? the writer and decide
I've been performing at weddings, restaurants, and clubs
For ten years.
And now it's time for me to see
If I have what it takes to
Perform in front of america.
♪ won't you try to help me♪
[cheers and applause]
[a change is gonna come]
all right, guys, let's have
Some fun.

? but a change is gonna ? come
[cheers and applause] simone torres, I really like
It. I related to you because I
Started working when I was little.
Just the fact that you go and knock every door for the passion
Of music with your father, just, I relate to you.
simone, I wish I could have sat down with you a week ago,
And I wish I could have heard that song, because I would have
Said, "you're not doing that." the arrangement of the song was
A joke. [audience booing]
It was so bad, and it was so karaoke, and so sort of
Wedding-y. you still sang it, mama.
Don't get it twisted. You still sang the hell out of
The song. I feel torn, because I agree,
The song choice wasn't great. Yes, you have an incredible
Voice, but I don't know if I'm seeing a star.
[audience booing] oh, come on.
That's wrong, that's wrong. all right, demi.
All four seats are filled, and if you want to see simone go to
The live rounds, someone is having to go home, so what is
Your decision? [suspenseful music]
? [audience shouting]
Is simone in or out? come on, demi.
[audience shouting] simone...

[cheers and applause] congratulations, simone.
Now, of course, uh, this
Means we have our very first
Switch of the night.
Demi, one of these four girls
Must now be switched out of her
Seat and out of the show.
Is it bree randall... [audience shouting]
Khaya cohen... [audience shouting]

Now, remember, whoer is in
Those four seats, once all the

On to the live shows.
Find out who's in, who's out,
And who's switched right after
The break.
[cheers and applause]
[overlapping singing]
- You just sang your face off. - I disagree.
It feels like everything you did was chosen by your mother.
I know I can do this! oh, my god, I really don't
Know what to do right now. demi, you need to listen to
Me! I'm sending you home.

Onstage. I just feel like I can be
Myself. wow!
- I'm really impressed. - Danielle Geimer.
when they called my name, I was just so shocked, I didn't
Even know what to say. This is definitely the biggest
Performance of my life. I'm just the girl who sits
Alone, reading a book. People just walk by, tripping
Over my feet, and they're like, what did I trip over?
And now, they're gonna be like, oh, I tripped over a star.

[laughs] [cheers and applause]
life is always about timing, and you've come around at a time
Where you've got so many over-confident pop stars, and
You fly in the face of that. You're very humble, you're very
Shy... [cheers and applause]
Uh, and I hope you never change. I don't think you will.
[cheers and applause] danielle, I am absolutely
Blown away. I think you're so talented,
You're so beautiful, and you're right.
When they trip on you, they're already tripping on a star.

Or out. What's your decision?
[suspenseful music] ?

You are in my final four. [cheers and applause]
You're in, which means we have a
Switch, so one of these four
Girls must now be switched out
Of her seat and out of the show.
Is it Simone Torres... [audience shouting]
Khaya Cohen... [audience shouting]
Jamie Pineda... [audience shouting]
Or Ashly Williams? [audience shouting]
Demi, who are you going to switch?
[audience shouting] the act that I'm going to
Switch is... [audience shouting]
I'm so sorry, but... [audience shouting]
Simone Torres. [audience ohs]
so Simone is out, and Danielle is in.
Thank you so much, Siomone Torres.
Well, we still have four more
Girls to go.
Find out who's taking a seat and
Who's losing one right after the
Break.
welcome back to the x factor and the four-chair challenge.
Tonight, demi's girls are
Singing for a place in one of
Those four seats, but no one is
Safe until all ten girls have
Sung.
And who will be there at the end of the show?
Every decision lies with demi. Now, let's find out if this
Missouri girl can sing her way into a seat.
Please welcome Rylie Brown. [cheers and applause]
I'm Rylie Brown.
I'm 16 years old.
I'm from lee's summit, missouri,
And I'm in 11th grade.
[train horn blows] lee's summit is a pretty small
Town. It's right smack-dab in the
Middle of country and the city, so best of both worlds.
When I grow up, I'd like to be a singer and songwriter.
I am the one and only rylie brown.
I'm the one and only, guys. When I was growing up, I was in
Beauty pageants, and I have all my trophies d crowns lined up.
The talent part is what I was really intrigued about.
That's why I wanted to be in the pageants.
I wanted to get onstage somehow and sing.
♪ if our love is tragedy ♪ why are you my remedy♪
you have a wonderful tone to your voice.
yes, you do. yes.
oh, thank you! ? made in the usa
she's so special, and it's so
Exciting for me to see her
Dreams come true.
Growing up in pageants really helped me a lot, but I'm ready
To branch out. I'm ready to, you know, see the
World. I feel like this is the perfect
Opportunity for my dreams to come true.
? made in the usa [cheers and applause]
[angels] ?
? I sit and wait ? does an angel
♪ contemplate my fate♪ ♪
? so when I'm lying in my bed
? thoughts runng ? through my head
? and I feel ? that love is dead
? I'm loving angels instead ? and through it all

? ? I'm loving angels instead
? ? I'm loving
♪ angels instead ♪
? I'm loving angels ? instead
[cheers and applause]
rylie, I felt like that was not the right song choice.
[audience booing] um, I'm just not sure if you're
Ready for this competition, because you have a lot of
Competition sitting up here already.
[audience booing] it feels like everything
You did tonight was chosen by your mother--what you're
Wearing, what you sang. You didn't sound like a
16-year-old girl. I don't know what you were
Trying to do. It was a little bit of country,
It was a ballad, but I didn't buy it.
[audience booing] rylie, I think you look
Beautiful. thank you so much, demi.
[cheers and applause] you have a lot of potential
In your voice. My problem is, it was very
Pageant-y, and I'm a pageant girl, so I totally love it, but
I don't know if, vocally, you're ready for this competition.
[audience booing] so, demi, is rylie in a seat
Or going home? What's your decision?
[suspenseful music] ?
[audience shouting]
rylie... [audience shouting]
I'm sending you home. [audience booing]
one more time for rylie, everyone.
Demi's decided, and rylie brown
Is now out of the competition.
Find out who's sticking around
And who's saying good-bye right
After the break.
[overlapping singing] okay, stop, stop, stop.
that was the longest minute and a half of my life.
I'm not gonna let you down. I promise I will not let you
Down. [dramatic music]
Please! you know what? I give up.
welcome back to the x factor and the four-chair challenge.
Win one of those four seats and
A place in the live shows, but
Since demi can switch anyone out
Of their seat and out of the
Show, no one is safe until all
Ten girls have sung.
So let's see if this next girl has what it takes to stay in the
Competition. From las vegas, primrose martin.
[cheers and applause]
My name's primrose martin. I'm 20 years old, I'm from
Las vegas, and I'm a full-time student.
? this is a lesson to learn my first audition was in denver,
And that was so much fun. I mean, I literally felt like I
Was flying onstage. there's a lot to work with
Here. You're very talented.
thank you so much. four yeses.
whoo! congratulations.
[cheers and applause] ? living with
? a married man my dad is skip martin from
Kool & the gang. ? celebrate good times
when primrose was about four
Years old, I brought her on the
Stage, and I give her the mic,
She will sing in a heartbeat.
That's when I knew that there was gonna be something special
About her. ? it's a celebration
[dramatic music] I want to prove that I
Deserve to be here. I want to earn my place in the
Stars. It's time for me to step out of
My dad's shadow and show the world what I have to offer.
[blame it on the boogie] ?
come on, girl!
? my baby's always dancin'
? it wouldn't be a bad thing ? but I don't get no lovin'
? and that's no lie ? we spent the night at frisco
? at every kind of disco ? from that night
? I kissed our love good-bye ? don't blame it
? on the sunshine ? don't blame it
? on the moonlight ? don't blame it
? on a good time ? blame it on the boogie
? ooh, yeah ? that nasty boogie bugs me
? but somehow ? it has drugged me
? spellbound rhythm gets me ? on my feet
? I've changed my life ? completely
? seen the lightning leave me ? and my baby just can't
? take his eyes off me come on!
Put your hands together! ? I just can't
? I just can't control my feet sing!
? I just can't ? I just can't
♪ I just can't control my feet ♪
? don't blame it ? on the sunshine

? blame it on the boogie ? don't blame it
? on the sunshine ? nor the moonlight
What do you blame it on? ? blame it on the boogie
[mixture of cheers and boos] [applause]
primrose, I have to be honest with you.
While you look lovely and I enjoyed your first audition,
I felt like this was completely different from it.
I didn't want to see that. I wanted to see you actually
Come out here and give your absolute, very best.
[sighs] I was surprised you didn't
Deliver as much as you did the first time, primrose.
I don't know. I don't know what demi should
Do. I do.
[audience murmuring] can I say something?
do you know what? It's pointless, primrose,
Because that was actually beyond awful.
I mean, it was seriously, seriously dreadful.
Everything about it. You sang out of tune.
It was the longest minute and a half of my life.
[audience booing] ? listen
? listen to me ? if you
primrose. okay, primrose, did you--
okay, stop, stop, stop.
please, I want this so bad.
primrose.
But, why--why would you-- ? if you walk away
? the blues will walk in ? and take me
do you know what? I give up.
here's the thing, primrose. I give up.
aside from the performance, which wasn't great, I feel like
You danced more than you sang, and there's something about you
That comes off as too confident. It--it kind of just rubs me the
Wrong way. [applause]
okay, demi, it's your call. We need a decision.
Is primrose in or out? I will show you, I will show
You. I promise I will not let you
Down. I know I can do this.
Music is not just in me. It is in every part of my
Essence. This is who I am.
Please, please! I want this so bad.
I want this as bad as I want air!
Please! okay, okay.
demi, what's your decision? [audience shouting]
I just--can you give me just--
primrose, primrose. give me a chance.
[audience booing] [mouths]
I'm sorry, but I'm sending you home.
[cheers and applause] I'm so sorry, primrose.
Your time on the x factor is over, sweetie.

At this panel right here, in the four seats, I don't--I can't see
Myself letting go of any of them.
[audience booing] I disagree.
I think this girl's one of the better singers.
[cheers and applause] well, demi, this is a huge
Decision. This is gonna determine your
Final four for your category. Did ellona santiago do enough?
Is she in, or is she out? [audience shouting]

ellona's waiting. These four girls are waiting.
America is waiting. Is ellona in, or is she out?
What is your decision? [audience shouting]

[audience chanting, "keep her!"] ellona...
You're in my final four. [cheers and applause]
ellona, congratulations! You are in!
Oh! That was stressful. thank you so much, demi.
I won't let you down. I'll make us win, I promise.

One of these four girls sitting
Over there must be switched out
Of her seat, so who is losing
Their place in the competition
With just moments to go?
Is it danielle geimer... [audience shouting]
Khaya cohen... [audience shouting]
Jamie Pineda... [audience shouting]
Or Rion Paige? [audience shouting]
Demi, who are you going to switch out?
[audience shouting]
I'm really sorry. Jamie, I'm sending you home.
