Diamond wasn't even crying, I think she knew she was going home if she was in the singoff. She didn't do it the first time as well at the top 16

Also Demi must love 5H for singing her song also they actually harmonized in the singoff. Which is probably why LA eliminated Diamond. Because LA said they were more like Fifth Unison instead of Harmony

[BBfanUSA]

Also I'll vote my arse off for 5H next week.

I don't care if any of the other 3 are sacrificed to make room for them. They will succeed.

I wish voting was free on the UK X Factor as I would make sure all my favorites got to the final lol.

[BBfanUSA]

actually it depends on the carrier. Mine's Verizon (The US version's Phone Sponsor) and I have a unlimited plan for Text and Call so it's free for me. Also I drink Pepsi alot. And they're the main sponsor for the US version. I dunno if X Factor has to do with me drinking Pepsi alot.

Text costs .99 bucks for a text for Verizon callers only. The Text doesn't count if it not's Verizon.

There's a Huge downside for voting on X Factor. Unlimited Voting for 2 hours straight via four methods (Call, Text, Xtra Factor App, Facebook)

On the Voice US it's 10 per method (4 ways, Text, Call, Online, iTunes) I wish it was similar to that.

In Case Anyone's wondering we do have a Xtra Factor Show. It's just not called Xtra Factor. It's the Pepsi PreShow and it's live online before the performance Liveshow.

The Show is heavily advertised over here. Pepsi has The X Factor on all it's drinks and there's a rewards program for gear and tickets to the final. And I see X Factor Ads on FOX all the time. Also on Cable and Radio (It's a rarity to see shows advertise on rival stations. Like No NBC shows ad on FOX, No ABC ads on CBS, Etc. )

[Mystic Mock]

Thanks for the info, it's interesting how it works.

[BBfanUSA]

BTW Sorry for the info dump. I figured I may as well talk about how the show works or is advertising over here.

The show is always #2 in the overall ratings for the 7:00 PM timeslot but it's always #1 in the 18-49 demo. It's down from last year considerably and I bet it'll affect the budget for Season 3.

I don't think Verizon or Pepsi will split from X Factor because Idol and The Voice both have Cell and Drink Sponsors. (Idol has AT&T and Coke and The Voice has Sprint and Starbucks.)

Pepsi pays to have the glasses on the table, it might be blurred for the UK version. Coke pays Idol to do the same. they don't have to have Pepsi in the cups, it can be water just as long as they're drinking it from the cup.

Also the lines close two hours after the show ends in each of the timezones Phone Numbers have a different area code that how they know not to count that vote (For example A Phone Number in New York State would be 1-212-###-####). America has four timezones and West coast can't get to the telly at 5 PM so they get a tape delayed show. Which is also why we don't have the results on the same night (Basically what the East Coast Saw with naughty words bleeped out in case they slipped through on East Coast.)

Aw poor Diamond.

It's between the group's now for the last slot in the final, Tate and Carly are already there

[BBfanUSA]

It's confirmed that there will be No Leaderboard next. I didn't understand them showing them this week.

Also I'm going to make my prediction on who will be the celeb duets
Tate Stephens with Kelly Clarkson (There's a country song that became a huge hit over here that she was on called "Don't You Wanna Stay?")
Fifth Harmony with either Little Mix (They're experimenting with releasing Wings over here) or One Direction.
Emblem3 with Boyce Avenue (They're Simon's Vocal Coach)
Carly Rose Sonenclare with I Dunno Really.

[Apple202]

I'm glad that X Fac US is still a relatively small show in America so Fifth Harmony don't steal Little Mix's thunder

[MeMyselfAndI]

Little Mix have no thunder, there album isn't doing very well, they're only known in the UK & a little in Australia. It's like saying Matt Cardle has thunder

[Apple202]

2 #1 UK singles

Idk but she managed to get 2 number 1 albums her first album didnt get #3

[Munchkins]

Leona Lewis

#1 - A Moment Like This - UK & IRE
#1 - Bleeding Love - UK, AUS, AUT, CAN, GER, IRE, NZ, SWI, SWE, US
#2 - Better in Time - UK & GER, also 11 in US, and top 10 in many others
#5 - Forgive Me - UK
#1 - Run - UK, AUT, IRE
#2 - Happy - UK, AUT

Yeah she hasn't done as well since then but still

[Apple202]

I'm comparing current current events... wasn't 'Glassheart' out of the top 40 within a couple weeks?

But won't she in the long run have achieved more than Little Mix will
Little Mix will never get number 1's in US

[Apple202]

They said that about One Direction and look what happened there..

[BBfanUSA]

Hey, This is not a fan war thread :P

I think they'll get to perform in the US final.

[Novo]

Yeah it's a bit silly to compare Little Mix's success with Leona Lewis's because Leona Lewis is in a different league when it comes to Sales

Exactly
Plus Little Mix failed to get number 1 in their first album even in the UK which is bad..

I'm comparing their most recent eras, where the sales can be compared cos of the same years... last time Leona had sizeable success was 2009/10

Not really, 1D only got to #2 behind Rihanna. LM got #3 behind 1D and Rihanna, history must be repeating itself

But then it cant be compared because we have no idea how Little Mix would fair back in 2008/2009?
Doubt they would get number 1 single in the US, and number 1 album in a lot of countries

Didn't One Direction get #1 in the Us though? Little Mix failed to chat in the top 10 hardly anywhere.. only UK, AUS, IRE, SCO..

What? I'm comparing their 2012 releases. Your main argument is "Little Mix won't do well in America cos I say so"

[BBfanUSA]

They haven't even released Wings in America. I tried searching for it on iTunes. Not a smidge
