America, now it's your turn to judge and vote who deserve to be in the X Factor USA 2013 Top 12. This in interesting as we have seen in the past that the favorites of the judges don't necessarily get the most votes. We shall see in the results' show tomorrow who are the early favorites. Exciting!
Last week we saw 4 contestants leave, 1 act from each category. But since there is a wild card, the judges decided to give a second chance to Josh Levi. They felt that he doesn't deserve to be voted out last week. I certainly agree as Josh is such a talented kid.
As you know the Girls are mentored by Demi Lovato, Boys by Paulina Rubio, Over 25s by Kelly Rowland and Groups by Simon Cowell ( who will soon become a father ).
It was a two hour Motown-themed night with hits from the 60s. The show started with a group performance of medley songs which include ABC from The Jackson 5, Signed, Sealed Delivered, I'm Yours from Stevie Wonder.
Here's our recap of tonight's performances and what we think about them.
Josh Levi - Who's Loving You by the Jackson 5
Demi : "What a way to make a come back "; Kelly: You come to life when you are on stage" ; Simon "You went from zero to hero. You proved to be one heck of a singer." Paulina : You are born to be a star.
Among the boys, I think he has the best voice. Tonight he just showed his great voice. No dancing and big choreography, just his voice. Incredible.
Rachel Potter - This Old Heart of Mine by Isley Brothers
Demi: You have come so far and I'm proud of you". Simon: "It started great but finished horrible. It's such a beautiful song and you made it insane". Kelly: "It was a great performance. She deserves to be here."
The arrangement was great but the vocals was not that impressive. But perhaps country fans may support her. We shall see.
Carlos Guevara - What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Kelly: Cool choice for your voice but you could have done better". Simon: I didn't see a moment. The arrangement lazy.
Yeah, he has a good voice quality but has zero stage presence.
Restless Road - Easy by Lionel Richie
Demi : "Simon knew exactly what to give them and it was well done. Paulina : "You sounded so good together and you have a special magic on the stage but the lead vocalist needs to be careful as he is pitchy" referring to Colton. Simon : " You will be in the finals."
The group seemed to lose their magic as the weeks go by. They were really good in the previous performances but tonight it was just mediocre. Regardless, girls are still screaming so they will have strong votes.
Ellona Santiago - Baby Love by the Supremes
Kelly : "You are a little powerhouse. You give everything you have got"; Simon : "Thought it was a cheerleader performance but its not. You nailed the song."; Demi: " You turned it out and you have grown so much."
She is one of my favorite. If she keeps on doing this and giving her all, she could be in the finals.
Jeff Gutt - Say You Say Me by Lionel Richie
Paulina : "That was unexpected. I loved it." Simon: The best vocal of the night." Kelly : You give people another layer."
Delivering that song as a rocker, he surprised me. I was impressed. Great performance.
Alex & Sierra - Heard it Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye
Demi : "Sexy and hot ; Paulina : "Natural and organic. " ; Simon : " Two weeks in a row you have done well."
I am rooting for them. They truly have a perfect chemistry. Their voices complement each other. They could win this competition.
Khaya Cohen - My Girl by The Temptations
Kelly : " You killed the song, you did wonderful" ; Simon: "I'm like listening to Amy Winehouse, very cool performance, vocals absolutely fantastic."
The performance was stunning. The voice was very unique.
Carlito Olivero - Stop in the Name of Love by The Supremes
Kelly : "A little pitchy."; Simon : "Girly, theatrical."
The arrangement was excellent. I think he did better this week
Lillie McCloud - All is Fair in Love and War by Stevie Wonder
Demi : " Your voice and stage presence are incredible. But you sound outdated." ; Simon : The song is one of my favorite Stevie Wonder song. You are absolutely fantastic." ; Paulina : "You are a goddess."
She is indeed one hot grandma. The voice is great but she might not get much support as the most voters are teens.
Sweet Suspense - You Keep Me Hangin On by the Supremes
Kelly : "Sensational" ; Simon : Fun ,There's something special about it."
They are the most current and pop fans will definitely like them. And it looks like they have so many supporters.
Rion Paige - Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye
Kelly : "I'm not sure if I like your rendition." Simon : You turned it into a beautiful version.; Demi : "You pulled it off and it was more genuine."
Tonight's performance lacks energy. I feel her last week's performance was better.
Tim Olstad - I'll Be There by The Jackson 5
Demi : It's an incredible karaoke." Kelly: Waterdown version". ; Simon : I liked it. Your are like Donny Osmond."
So did he redeem himself this week? Is he not a funeral director anymore? I don't think it was an enough performance to make him stay.
Fearless Forecast
Based on tonight's performance, my top three are: Alex and Sierra, Khaya Cohen and Ellona Santiago.
The bottom three who might be at risk are : Tim Olstad, Carlos Guevara and Rion Paige.
Overall tonight's show was great. Mario Lopez has improved a lot in his hosting. There were great and funny moments of teasing between Simon and Demi. It was amusing to watch Kelly kiss Simon. But best of all Paulina will be the next Sofia Vergara. She has distinct accent. Pitchy becomes peechy.
That's about it. Who are you rooting for? Share with us. Stay tuned for results tomorrow. We shall keep you updated.
