I am barely over with the great performances last week. But hey, we are down to Top 8 for a Big Band theme. For the first time, the contestants will sing live with a 25 piece band. They could really shine or be swallowed up by the music. To keep the tradition in X Factor, contestants expressed thanks and dedicated their song for someone special in their lives. I'm touched by some of the stories. There were plenty of heart warming moments.
For me, this is by far the best performance night of the season. All of them did great. This episode had the most standing ovations. But the act that stole the show was Ellona Santiago. She's just incredible. I also enjoyed Michael Buble performing Frank Sinatra's You Make Me Feel So Young.
Let's get down to business.
Rion Paige sang Swingin' for her mother. Simon described her cute as a cupcake. For the first time she had choreography. And she did well, especially in vocals, even when she moves around. It doesn't look awkward at all.
Restless Road dedicated Life is a Highway to Andrew's Uncle Bill. This is so much better than last week. Kelly praised that they are more cohesive now.
Jeff Gutt sang Feeling Good for his Dad. I was moved by the Father-Son moment. I agree with Simon when he said now I got to know better Jeff and he's a decent man. The performance was really excellent. Truly, it was his best yet.
Josh Levi wished his grandmother would hear him sing Treasure. And she came to show support. His Bruno Mars version is refreshing. All the judges enjoyed his energy. He's already a star. He is so ready.
Carlito Olivero dedicates his song for his parents. He sang medley La Copa de la Vida / Maria, Maria. He seemed more comfortable. All the judges agreed he's more suitable to Latin music.
Alex & Sierra dedicates the song to each other. Seeing them tonight, I am now convinced that they truly love each other. Their version of Taylor Swift I Knew You Were Trouble is perfect. Sierra truly shine.

Ellona Santiago has one of the most touching story tonight. He offers the song to her sister Julie Rose who is suffering from stage four cancer. Her rendition is Jessie J's Mama Knows Best was compelling. She showed her amazing vocal range at the last part. As Simon said, it was a game changer.
The best part and the highlight is the group performance of Cry Me a River. And no one else can coach them better than Michael Buble. This is an interesting twist that let us see who in top 8 stand out. And all the all judges agree it was Ellona. Josh and Jeff did well too.
There will be another double elimination tomorrow. Looks like they are running out of time. They probably want to end before the year ends to give was to the American Idol which starts in January 2014.
Tomorrow it's going to be Thanksgiving night. I'm looking forward to the family gathering and feast of sumptuous food especially turkey. I wonder who will be coming to the party. Mario said his family will be coming.
I can't wait for Michael Buble and Demi Lovato who will be performing. Stay tuned as we bring you the Top 6.
