The X Factor USA Live Show Discussion (US Pace - FOX) Thread

[Brother Leon]

Don't get the fuss over this tbh. It's pretty much as bad as our one, just marginally better.

[Marc]

I actually reckon James Arthur and Ella > every act in XF USA this season

[Novo]

Vino is much better then all 3 of them.. and Generally the USA X Factor this year has been a lot more interesting with the vote count thing and each judge losing an act in the first week

[Marc]

Hmm not copying the UK one at all with the latter part there.

And revealing the votes is just retarded

[Novo]

They only revealed the votes for the second week and they aren't doing it again.. pretty interesting really because now you know what everyones first impressions are, we have done no twists or anything like that this year on our show it has been been straight forward **** eliminations, the Judges are awful the presentation is awful and the Songs are all predictable and the final 3 is pretty much already sorted now where as the USA version is wide open and much harder to predict i'd say the only thing the UK version has over it is Dermot

[Locke.]

Diamond White is a better vocalist than Ella and she is only 13, you don't really realize how average the singers on our versions are until you watch one of the US shows

[Black Dagger]

Carly, Diamond and Beatrice are all 13 years of age and are by far better vocalists then Ella...

[BBfanUSA]

Because they've been trained for years and they've all probably been in Broadway Productions. (Carly and Beatrice have crossed paths constantly before this show as well, auditioning for roles in New York Stage Theaters. I'm sure both of them will get big time roles after the show is over)

Here's an example. Beatrice played Molly in Toy Story 3.

They all have management as well. Which is not against the rules.

[Marc]

All the groups are rubbish. The overs meh. The kids are just awful and CeCe, seriously, what the hell she wasn't even good this week when she had a ballad, a good singer could have smashed that easily.

Tbh both X Factors should stop now.

X Factor USA shouldn't stop, It's looking like it's the only show that has diversity or looks like it'll have diversity when it comes to winners.
American Idol should because it keeps electing a WGWG as it's winner.
The Voice keeps voting a black guy as it's winner as well and it looks like it could go 3 for 3

[Marc]

Clearly the voters fault though, at a certain point it's out of the hands of the judges.

If any thing the judges (and production) have more influence on this show

[Brother Leon]

Diamond and Carly are better than Ella. Beatrice is terrible. James is better than the males bar Vino. Jennel is better than the girls we had. The US groups are even worse than our ones :laugh:

It's average too and bringing back Diamond was ridiculous and would of been met with outrage here.

[Locke.]

Watch this and you will change your mind completely

[BBfanUSA]

Whatever, there's going to be a 3rd season in the US, I bet there's going to be a "Leona Lewis" person that'll make people turn the TV on to X Factor USA.

Diamond would've been brought back by Wildcard anyway.

And Jason was eliminated last week. LOL

[Marc]

Tate topping votes just shows how the x factor audience are very similar as the idol audience :laugh:

[Novo]

Lyric 145, Emblem 3, fifth harmony > District3, UnionJ, MK1

[Locke.]

Mr Entertainment is being brought back as a wildcard

[Brother Leon]

Lyric 145, Emblem 3, fifth harmony > District3, UnionJ, MK1

Lyric are terrible and becoming a joke act. Ffth Harmony are nothing too special. Emblem 3 could be alright though IMO.

[BBfanUSA]

Tate topping votes just shows how the x factor audience are very similar as the idol audience :laugh:

actually there's a good explanation.

Fifth Harmony, Carly, Beatrice, Diamond, Paige, Cece, are all splitting votes right now.

Tate will fizzle out pretty quick. 1st place first voting week never wins these shows. XFUK is a great example

Also I bet we'll get rankings revealed again this week because they showed last week's results twice so far, in the OP and then with the hosts , I think after top 9/8 they'll stop and then reveal the rest after the show along with percentages.

[Locke.]

Still no torrent for last nights show for some reason

[BBfanUSA]

Still no torrent for last nights show for some reason

The Official Youtube account has all the performances already....

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

The show is fantastic but the annoying thing about it is that the background production can be so loud you can't hear the contestants. IE Tate. Didn't hear a thang. Shame.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

The only group simon cares about is emblem 3.

[BBfanUSA]

Results tonight
Double elimination
Guest is Taylor Swift and she's performing a new song.

Rankings Might be revealed at the end of the show if they are I'll post them again.

[BBfanUSA]

Lyric 145 is the instantly eliminated act.

Taylor is performing right now. I have no idea if anyone else was announced safe.

[BBfanUSA]

The Following Acts are safe and announced in a random order Rankings will be revealed at the end of the show
SAFE:
Arin Ray (:O)
Vino Alan
Carly Rose Sonenclare

[BBfanUSA]

Singoff Results

LA eliminates Jennel
Britney eliminates Jennel
Demi eliminates Paige

Interesting results.

[BBfanUSA]

8. Beatrice (Up 2)
9. Arin Ray (Dodged the bullet again) (Up 2)
10. Paige (Could Be 11th, never implied)

[Brother Leon]

Good ol' Vino.

[BBfanUSA]

Theme for next week is most likely since it's Thanksgiving week. Giving Thanks where like last year all the acts give tributes to friends or aka Ballad week.

[reece(:]

Thought Jennel would've gone a long way, Lyric145 too. Shame they're out

[BBfanUSA]

Okay someone said on another site that they heard "well,I Mean" around the 54-55 minute mark before Britney said it about a second later. She might be fed lines via a earpiece and there's evidence backing it up

For example this
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcsfhnAYrv1rdehy9o1_500.gif Looks like an earpiece in the right ear and I remember seeing something that week in her ear.

[Novo]

Demi you idiot :joker: that was good thinking by Simon though because he knew he was saving Paige even before Demi voted, i thought Paige was a lot better in the sing off though and deserved to stay.. Vino staying and CeCe staying and moving up to 5th is amazing :worship:

[Black Dagger]

Way to kill my interest America. :bored:

Nice to see CeCe high up enough in the voting, hopefully she does a Rylan now.

But yeah cbf with this show, especially when my massive favourite is going against my massive least favourite, she did probably slay Jennel in the sing-off if they are saying her voice is good when it hasn't been at all, but she is still rancid. :idc:

The only other person I'm really interested in now is Beatrice and she'll likely be gone this week.

[Novo]

Cece is going all the way to the final with Vino

[BBfanUSA]

Beatrice might play a very interesting card next week. Apparently her mommies are divorced and they're still living together.
BTW Simon I know you're the executive producer but seriously making Demi vote was just plain cold. Even for you.

[Locke.]

Simon forcing Demi into making a decision :joker:

[Black Dagger]

She was the only one who did the right thing :idc:

[Locke.]

Tate Nation still in control of the voting I see, even when they have a week off because they know he's safe after last weeks placing.

Glad Arin is through aswell, probably my favourite right now. No way he can escape it again though, missing out on the bottom by 1 place for the second week in a row

[Novo]

Jennel was a sacrifice that Cece demanded

[Novo]

At least the gap (Hopefully) closed. they said 1/3 of a percent was between the two of them.

I do like Arin but he was a bit pitchy, surprised he survived on Wed. but when they started playing Lyric 145's backing track I was loling.

Arin is so going to become the Marcus Canty of the season. Randomly sneaks into the semifinal over a more deserved act. (I'm sorry Rachel deserved to stay over Marcus IMO)

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Singoff Results

LA eliminates Jennel
Britney eliminates Jennel
Demi eliminates Paige
Simon eliminates Jennel

Jennel is eliminated by a vote of 3-1

Lyric 145 (Auto eliminated)

Watching right now. Phew i'm glad Demi sent jennel home.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Woohoo Simon sent home Jennel. Well done Si,this is why I love you.

[BBfanUSA]

Oh yeah, Did I mention Cher Lloyd is the guest next week? It'll be a year since she was first met LA Reid at a season 1 soundcheck or around this time. (There's a page dedicated to season 1 on the official website and it mentions Cher Lloyd being discovered by LA at a Soundcheck for season 1. There's a good chance they'll mention she was on XFUK and was discovered last year at a XFUS soundcheck.)

[Brother Leon]

Looks like I'll give it a miss then :laugh:

[BBfanUSA]

Oh yeah, Unlike last year, The show is on Wed and Thurs for thanksgiving. I'll be spending time with the family so I'll not be on here to update on who stays and rankings.

I might show up Friday to say who's eliminated unless someone updates it before me.

Also Cher Lloyd is Relevant in America DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jamie585]

WOW, Really shocked Jennel was eliminated, Demi has had all her acts in the bottom now :laugh: she's doing a rubbish job. Glad Cece went up the rankings, hope she goes far now!!

[Munchkins]

Not watching now that my fave has gone :(

[Novo]

It's always worth watching whilst Vino and Cece are there

[Locke.]

Demi deserves this for sending Willie home.

And Jennel wasn't even good. She was probably the best out of the three young girls (don't know how the blonde one is still there, but Arin will be eliminating her in the sing off next week anyway), but still not as good as the rest.

[Novo]

The 3 young girls are Beatrix, Diamond and Carly, Jennel is even older then CeCe i think

[Locke.]

Always forget about Diamond

[Novo]

Shouldn't be there anyway

[Kate!]

WOW, Really shocked Jennel was eliminated, Demi has had all her acts in the bottom now :laugh: she's doing a rubbish job. Glad Cece went up the rankings, hope she goes far now!!

What!!!!

What!!!!!!!!!

well that is bloody ridiculous :hmph:

[Locke.]

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdlx85jXvC1rkwhczo1_500.jpg

[BBfanUSA]

The 3 young girls are Beatrix, Diamond and Carly, Jennel is even older then CeCe i think

Jennel is 18, Cece is either 21/22

Jennel being in the singoff wasn't a surprise and it made sense. She was dreadful on Wed. and she opened the show.

Alot of you will hate me for saying this but I do think Jennel going home in the singoff was justified. Although I would've preferred Paige getting the boot.

[BBfanUSA]

Show Tonight

Theme is Giving Thanks (Songs of Inspiration, basically this is our version of halloween week)

Musical Guest is Cher Lloyd and she's performing Oath.

[Black Dagger]

I don't know if I care enough to keep up after the awful elim last week, hopefully Beatrice and CeCe avoid B2 or B3 whatever.

[Locke.]

Last weeks result was great.

Resigned to losing the best contestant, Arin, this week though

[BBfanUSA]

I predict this week

-A Teen not named Carly will have a moment tonight, I predict it to be Diamond but I can see Beatrice having hers

-Emblem3 will perform well

-Tate will not be #1

Results
Bottom 3:
Paige
Beatrice (Wins Singoff)
Arin (Instant Eliminated)

BTW Thursday is thanksgiving and I'll not be on more than likely to PBP. Someone else can take it over for me. I think I might get to watch the show

[Black Dagger]

Last weeks result was great.

Resigned to losing the best contestant, Arin, this week though

This is a joke right?

[Jamie585]

Beatrice will have the breakthrough this week I think, Diamond, Arin and Paige bottom 3

[Locke.]

This is a joke right?

Well the good old trusty American public clearly prefer him to Jennel

[Jamie585]

Beautiful^

[Black Dagger]

Well the good old trusty American public clearly prefer him to Jennel

We will forgive their moronic moment of madness from last week, I am sure they will finally do the right thing.

[BBfanUSA]

LOL the producers want Tate out he's first

Song is dedicated to his dad.

[Black Dagger]

Like a 'death slot' after being top of the votes 2 weeks in a row will stop him :tongue:

[BBfanUSA]

Performance Order
1. Tate - "I'm Already There" by Lonestar Dedicated to his dad (Was A Bit Boring and One Dimensional A 7)
2. Diamond - "Because You Love Me" by Celine Dion dedicated to her mother (Started Weak but Finished Strong A 8.5)
3. Emblem3 - "Secrets" by One Republic Dedicated to their Youth Leaders/Mentors (Average Karaoke A 7)
4. Arin - "Hero" by Enrique Inglesias Dedicated to his Brother (Wrong song to dedicate to your brother, A 8 for vocals)
5. Cece - "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette MidlerDedicated to her DEAD sister that had Cerebral Palsy and died on Christmas Eve Sorry had to point that out. But Will vote for her anyway. (Not that good vocally but VERY emotional 8.)
6. Fifth Harmony- "I'll Stand By You" By The Pretenders Dedicated to the LORD ABOVE OH GOD THAT'S SO SAD (An 8, slightly boring but now they're finally harmonizing and have decided that Camilla who had absolutely no air time up to the time when they were made into a group compared to the other 4 members their lead singer.)
7. Beatrice- "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol Dedicated to her sisters ( Nice Arrangement And Great Vocals A 9. Gotta Vote for her this week)
8. Vino- "God Bless The USA" Dedicated to The US Military (Average performance but still good great choice, Got a standing ovation. A 8.)
9. Paige -"Everytime" by Britney Spears Dedicated to her Adopted Mother (Boring, Pack Your Bags, A 6)
10. Carly - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" Dedicated to her Brother (A 10.)

Khloe's family is there, Kim is there with Kanye, I want him to tomorrow to get on stage and say "I'm sorry but *Eliminated Act* had the best singoff song of all time"

Also it's a double

Paige is the instant elimination. It's too close to call for the singoff. Minus Tate, Carly, Vino.

[Kate!]

Carly really? Even though she scored a 10?

Or are America not feeling the love for her?

[Novo]

Is there something going on with Demi and Simon? they were acting a bit weird tonight :joker:

Tate - 6/10 ( Not his best at all, song choice was bad and he is starting to sound the same now in his performances )
Diamond - 8.5/10 ( Really good vocals and easily her best so far, great song choice )
Emblem3 - 4/10 ( Terrible performance )
Arin - 6/10 ( Pretty average but it as funny when he got pissed off with Demi after her boring comment )
Cece - 7/10 ( Good Performance and a great song choice for her i think she'll be safe after that )
Fifth Harmony - 7/10 ( thought their vocals were pretty good but in parts it just seemed rushed overall it was solid though )
Beatrix - 7.5/10 ( Her Voice really suited the song and she made it different, her best performance of the live shows so far )
Vino - 9.5/10 ( The best performance of the entire series so far, should make #1 after that )
Paige - 4/10 ( I find it hard to care about any of her performances, vocals were good in parts but it was just so boring )
Carly - 9/10 ( It was a bit short and a bit Shakey in parts but it was pretty much perfect apart from that )


It's going to be close between Vino and Carly for #1 this week, Tate might drop to #3 or #4

Predicting

1) Carly
2) Vino
3) Tate
4) Diamond
5) CeCe
6) Beatrix
7) Fith Harmony
8) Emblem 3
9) Arin
10) Paige

[Black Dagger]

Idol Forums were verbally laying into CeCe saying she was worst performance of the two seasons by far.

She wasn't even that bad :laugh2:

[Black Dagger]

And Beatrice has now sung 3 of my all time favourite songs in as many weeks... She's just :worship:

[BBfanUSA]

Carly really? Even though she scored a 10?

Or are America not feeling the love for her?

Kate it's in the performance order. Not where they placed imo.

[Black Dagger]

It really is time for Paige and Arin to go this week... really should have in that first judges vote off they did.

Reckon they'll be B3 with Beatrice :sad:

[BBfanUSA]

I Voted 9 times for Beatrice. I think the producers want her gone. So far in the voting rounds it's been Beatrice that's performed before Carly. They're similar so I think that's why.

I think they're both very talented. If Carly isn't #1 this week and it's Tate who was the first to perform. I think we should all be very concerned. He would be a BORING winner.

[Black Dagger]

Tate's my 3rd favourite, so I'd be pleased with him winning. ngl.

Beatrice and CeCe stand no chance, so he can win.

[Locke.]

Tate - 6/10 - Good song choice but just a bit average and forgettable. No chance of going though and he doesn't deserve to either.
Diamond - 8/10 - One of the best on the night
Emblem3 - 4/10 - Below average as usual. The blonde one needs to die.
Arin - 5/10 - Thrown under the bus by Britney and her evil tactic to have a choir screaming throughout the song.
Cece - 6.5/10 - Was pretty good, probably her second best performance
Fifth Harmony - 7/10 - Another good performance from the best group
Beatrix - 2/10 - Really just don't get it, she is consistently awful.
Vino - 8/10 - Not as good as the last 2 weeks but still one of the best.
Paige - 5/10 - Not as bad as the judges made out but not good enough to warrant her staying again.. I think her story was probably the most emotional though so that might see her climb the votes.
Carly - 8.5/10 - Don't like her but she was probably the best... Bit obvious they want her to win though, came second to Tate last week, this week they throw poor Tate on first and give his closest rival the best slot

[Brother Leon]

Vino is the clear winner peeps. Nothing else bears thinking about.

[Jamie585]

Just caught up on the show, and WOW it was a Brilliant show it was!! they were all fantastic!! Puts the UK version to shame.

[Jamie585]

Diamond - 9.5/10
Carly - 9/10
Cece - 7.5/10
Beatrice - 7/10
Fifth Harmony - 6.8/10
Emblem 3 -6/10
Paige - 5/10
Vino - 5/10
Tate - 4.5/10
Arin - 3/10

Bottom 3 Prediction:

1st. Carly
2nd. Vino
3rd. Diamond
4th. Tate
5th. Emblem 3
6th. Cece
7th. Fifth Harmony
8th. Beatrice - Wins Sing off
9th. Paige - Second Eliminated
10th. Arin - Lowest votes = First Eliminated.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

The fact that Tate tops the vote proves that majority of Americans love them some good ole country above anything else.

[Novo]

Would be amazing if Vino was #1 tonight but i think Carly has this week wrapped up

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

^^She do? Ooh can't wait to see her work!!:devil:

Right, the production need to sort themselves out and stop over powering the singers.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Arin-the awkward moment when you sing to your brother " would you swear that you'll always be mine....am I in too deep...have I lost my mind"

COMEON ARIN!!:bawling:

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

It's official...they shouldn't but the Lylas bore me. I was excited about them at first. :/

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Noo beatrice and her sisters are too cute. :bawling:

[Jamie585]

How long until the results? US PACE?

[BBfanUSA]

How long until the results? US PACE?

Less Than A Hour. But NFL Football is on right now. FOX is contracted to show the whole game and is about to start the fourth quarter.

If I think it'll be delayed I'll let you know. Shouldn't be.

[Jamie585]

I'm going to bed, check in the morning :p

[BBfanUSA]

Yep and I hope this doesn't get into OT. Then the show is going to be pushed back by an hour :P

It's for sure going to get delayed.

[Novo]

First eliminated act coming up.. i am going for Arin i think Paige will get a few votes from being in the bottom two last week so she'll be in the bottom two with Emblem 3

[BBfanUSA]

Okay show's on tape delayed.

Right now it's a group number with a choir full of troubled kids singing "Fix You" by Coldplay. The kids were hooked up with a new music room with the best tech from one of the show's sponsors' Best Buy. Not a charity single, should be actually gave me chills.

Elimination is happening after the break.

[BBfanUSA]

The instant eliminated act is........Arin Ray

[BBfanUSA]

It's running live in Canada maybe so I'll post the singoff.

Cece vs Beatrice

[Novo]

CeCe is going then :(

[Brother Leon]

Great sing off. Kick them both out. And Arin was the weakest so good result night.

[BBfanUSA]

I'm currently watching Cher Lloyd and wow she's sexy tonight.

[BBfanUSA]

LOL Demi didn't enjoy that. Look at her face. Trying to force a smile.

[Novo]

Beatrice Eliminated

[BBfanUSA]

The Following Acts are safe are announced in a random order
Rankings will be revealed later tonight
Diamond
Vino
Carly
Fifth Harmony
Tate (Both of LA's Acts are through)
Paige
Emblem3

Singoff is Beatrice and Cece
Straight into the singoff.

[BBfanUSA]

Singoff Songs
Cece- "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson (Uh wow I'm not even commenting on this)
Beatrice-"White Flag" by Dido (Looked VERY Nervous/cracked multiple times in the song, tried to pull a Rachel by putting her emotions into her song but failed IMO. She also has a cold as well. )

[BBfanUSA]

Demi...Votes to eliminate Beatrice
Britney...Votes to eliminate Cece
LA...Votes to eliminate Beatrice
Simon...Votes to eliminate Beatrice, claims that this show is not the right thing for her right now.

Beatrice is eliminated. and She's sobbing but not breaking down like Rachel.

She's been through hell recently. Her mothers are divorced and yet still living together.

[BBfanUSA]

Rankings
1. Carly Rose Sonenclare
2. Tate Stephens (So He can be stopped)
3. Vino Alan
4 Emblem3
5 Diamond White
6 Paige Thomas
7 Fifth Harmony (:O)
8 Cece Frey (Could've been 9th)

[Brother Leon]

Top 3 seems so obvious :laugh:

[Jamie585]

Top 3 are annoying me now, Glad Carly snatched it from Tate at last!!

Gutted Cece was in the sing off though :(

[Black Dagger]

What ****ing tragic voting.

This show has turned to ****.

[Novo]

**** sake, Emblem 3 above Diamond is a bit of a Joke, Vino should have been above Tate but at least he remains in the top 3, it might be for the best if he doesn't peak early, So far so good though Vino and Cece in the Top 8

[BBfanUSA]

If it's a final 3 and it's Vino,Tate, and Carly. Carly will win because the middle america vote would be torn between Tate and Vino. I think that's also why Melanie won Season 1 and Not Josh because he was splitting votes with Chris.

If it's a final 4 (Which I think they may go this path) and it's Vino, Tate, Carly, and E3. Carly will win because it's 3 male acts and they'll all split votes between the three of each other. If it's Diamond and not E3, Then I'd say it's a tossup

Also I swear Fifth Harmony better get the pimp spot or sing an upbeat song next week or else they'll be the next act out the door in a double. (Paige and Cece are the ones to go next)

[BBfanUSA]

I don't have the theme but Black Dagger I want you to sit down for this.

Next Week's Guests are Alicia Keys and...Josh Krajcik (Last Year's Runnerup)

[Black Dagger]

OMG, I saw Josh confirm himself on Twitter, but don't they only have one guest per week? But if he's confirmed then :amazed:

[BBfanUSA]

I guess that they're not doing to do rankings for the rest of the season.

that would explain why they only had 1 guest the first 3.

[Novo]

Has Josh even done anything since the first series?

[Black Dagger]

Has Josh even done anything since the first series?

He's been working on his album, evidently.

[Novo]

bit of a poor guest though, evidently.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I liked Beatrice & CeCe, I wish the bottom 2 was different.

[BBfanUSA]

bit of a poor guest though, evidently.

Idol has their previous contestants on their show performing all the time.

[Locke.]

Beatrice has gone!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was worth losing Arin for that.

Good to see that Tate maintains near enough all of his votes even when he is first on.

[Novo]

CeCe will be gaining votes next week for being nice to Beatrice in the Sing Off, she thought one step ahead

[Jamie585]

It's not a double again nest week is it??

[Locke.]

Hopefully, might be able to get Emblem3 in the sing off then

[Black Dagger]

Yep...

8-6, 6-4, 4-3

I'm sure that is how it's planned.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I thought it was
8-6 6-5 5-4 4-3

[Jamie585]

If it's a double again, then that's a bit stupid!! Demi will have no acts left :laugh:

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

As much as I love Carly i think she should be in the bottom of the rankings at least once. She's getting too obsessed with this. no bueno? :nono:

[BBfanUSA]

If it's a double again, then that's a bit stupid!! Demi will have no acts left :laugh:

Hey last year by the top 7, there was no groups left and 3 boys, 3 girls, 1 over

Also I think Cece's reactions are very genuine. She's actually good friends with Paige, alot of the other acts have also claimed she's not a bitch, except maybe Jillian because she's jealous that she was "eliminated" over her. I think she's just confident, which someone is supposed to have confidence in order to win. She's not doing it for votes.

[Locke.]

It is great the way they tried ****ing LA over with the terrible category and he now has 2 of the top 3

[BBfanUSA]

He obviously forgot about Middle America who loves White Guys. Why did you think XFUSA's Producers tried getting rid as many white guys as possible in the JHs?

[Kate!]

I'm shocked that Arin Ray went home, was amazing :(

[BBfanUSA]

Also I love that the pepsi challenge is back. This year we have more control than ever before. We choose the song and presentation this time for each of the acts and it's two songs!

Song Choices will be revealed during the 28th and will be performed on the Dec 5th show.

[BBfanUSA]

The Theme this week is #1 Hits (From Billboard most likely, Hopefully modern hits)

[Novo]

CeCe will shine then

[Jamie585]

Cece will be ok this week, Will be paige and Fifth Harmony in the bottom.

[BBfanUSA]

Cece will be ok this week, Will be paige and Fifth Harmony in the bottom.

It's a double again. and Fifth Harmony will have the pimp spot singing Wannabe by Spice Girls or at least an upbeat song.

Simon's been taking ideas for both his groups on twitter this week.

Cece won't be benefiting from the theme because it's open and everyone will be singing recognizable songs. Everyone will be singing upbeat songs as well. Which has been proven to be a disaster for Cece.

[BBfanUSA]

The Twitter account is saying prepare for a vocal fight this week. I hope they're being generic and it's not ballad week round 2.

[Jamie585]

oh, Cece and Paige will go then.

[BBfanUSA]

oh, Cece and Paige will go then.

Cece will avoid the bottom (I am convinced she has fans) with Paige and E3 in the singoff and Diamond getting shockingly auto eliminated. (I wish they would reveal the bottom 3 or call up a Safe act and the instant eliminated act instead of suddenly instant eliminating the bottom most act.)

[Novo]

Think it was probably a good thing CeCe was in the bottom two last week because now she has the advantage of the rebound vote this week when she most needs it

[Locke.]

The many Arin fans will be transferring their votes over to Fifth Harmony now to ensure they top the vote this week

[BBfanUSA]

Also it's been flying around in my head. I think the US version might have a singoff in the Semi if Vino is still there or maybe 4 acts in the final also if he's still there. I think they would want at least 3 mentors still having acts in the comp by the semi if possible.

[BBfanUSA]

Show is on tonight.

Tonight May actually be a single elimination but in hopes of dragging Vino into the bottom or hell even Tate, I see a double this week

Theme is #1 Hits and judging by cluefactor

Fifth Harmony- Stronger by Kelly Clarkson
Carly- Rolling in the Deep/Set Fire To The Rain by Adele (Might Be A Mashup or just RiTD)
Paige- Only Girl in the World by Rihanna

[Novo]

8 minutes

[Locke.]

Delayed until 3am

[Novo]

be quiet it is CeCe time

[BBfanUSA]

Oh no god no Dear god no. Tate is using a guitar.....**** **** ****

[Novo]

Not sure about this.. feels a bit to slow

[BBfanUSA]

I thought it was good visually but a bit shaky vocal wise.

Vino is up next apparently when they come back on he'll perform (Why aren't they having duets?)

[BBfanUSA]

Vino, I'm concerned about him

[Novo]

****.. that song destroyed Vino, he might be in the bottom 2 tomorrow if the others have good performances

[BBfanUSA]

LOL Paige Thomas is rick rolling us.

[BBfanUSA]

Up next is Fifth Harmony

[Novo]

Paige was alright but not as good as the Judges were making out

[Jamie585]

hurry up cece im tired!!

[Novo]

CeCe is next

[BBfanUSA]

hurry up cece im tired!!

She's Up next

Also Other than Tate and Carly, It's been a tossup on who's going and I mean it in a good way

[Novo]

If CeCe performs above average she'll be okay based on tonights performances so far, I expect Paige to be bottom

[BBfanUSA]

Great Performance from Cece. But the outfit WTF???????

Has anyone noticed they've given them a lot of performance time this week?

[BBfanUSA]

I. MUST. PROVE. SIMON. WRONG.

Let's vote

Also a break with the Scream and Shout Premier.

[Novo]

Amazing :joker:

Simon has just made her stay by saying she should pack her suitcase

[BBfanUSA]

The Scream and Shout Premiere is on right now

[Jamie585]

Bottom 3:

Paige - lowest votes
Fifth harmony
Diamond

[Black Dagger]

CeCe is the only one I give a toss about now.

She has to stay.

[Jamie585]

i though Cece was brilliant!! if people actually voted she'd be safe on that!! don't know what Simon was watching.

[Roy Mars III]

CeCe amazing as always. Simon is a tit

[BBfanUSA]

Bottom 3 Prediction
Paige Auto Eliminated
Vino Singoff Elimination
Fifth Harmony

[Locke.]

The way Emblem3 reacted to what Demi said will hopefully make even more people realize that they are just 3 massive *****.

I predict this weeks voting will be:

1. Carly Rose
2. Tate
3. Emblem3
4. Vino
5. Paige - Best of the night by far
-----
6. Diamond
7. Cece
-----
8. Fifth Harmony

[Novo]

Think it will go

1) Carly
2) Tate
3) Emblem 3
4) Vino
5) CeCe
---
6) Diamond
7) Fifth Harmony
----
8) Paige


More in hope really

[Apple202]

Emblem 3 are the best out of everyone left and I don't even normally support males

[MeMyselfAndI]

1) Carly
2) Tate
3) Emblem 3
4) Vino
5) CeCe
---
6) Diamond
7) Paige
----
8) Fifth Harmony

[Apple202]

Ooh need to watch the performances.

Pre watching performances, I think Paige + Fifth Harmony will be leaving

[Novo]

Emblem 3 are ****, they have destroyed two good songs in two weeks now

[Apple202]

Britney is such a crap judge :laugh:

Diamond on first, I think she could be in trouble.

[Jamie585]

Britney is such a crap judge :laugh:

Diamond on first, I think she could be in trouble.

Diamond was good :( But she'll be first out as she sang first and was forgettable.

[Jamie585]

NEW PREDICTION:

1. Tate Stevens
2. Carly Rose Sonenclar
3. Cece Frey
4. Vino Alan
5. Fifth Harmony
----------------
6. Emblem 3
7. Paige Thomas
----------------
8. Diamond - Shame cos i really like her.

[BBfanUSA]

Diamond was good :( But she'll be first out as she sang first and was forgettable.

actually, the 2nd spot is the death spot. I think she'll be safe

[Jamie585]

actually, the 2nd spot is the death spot. I think she'll be safe

Who sang second?

[Apple202]

Havent even watched it cba but predictions:

Auto Elimmed (8th) - Fifth Harmony

Bottom 2 - Cece and Diamond
Eliminated - Cece

[Jamie585]

How long till results?

[Novo]

Think the show starts at 1

[Jamie585]

1am :nono: I'm going to bed then, Hope Cece and Diamond get through!!

[Novo]

I watched the Show again on ITV2 before and CeCe sounded much better then she did on the ****ty stream i was watching it on and so did Paige

[BBfanUSA]

Who sang second?

Vino, He did get a Cliffhanger before he came out. They went to a commercial after Diamond performed. came back. Showed Vino's VT, said that they would go back to commercial break, then when they came back Vino performed. (If you watch his YT performance it probably showed just his glam shot.)

BTW I think Simon got to Demi a bit after her comment about E3. After Simon said But I have sold "300 Million Records" she looked like she was about to cry. I think they might need to replace Britney with another older woman. I think she would've backed Demi up. (Like Point out, But most are from A Boring Diva and a Boy Band that's a fad, referring to Leona Lewis and 1D.)

[Apple202]

I thought Paige and Cece were really good, but this article's worth a read about how modern acts aren't popular with the public on reality shows

http://sofabet.com/2012/11/26/x-factor-2012-going-grey/

(only the first couple paragraphs apply to US X Fac, the rest is about UK and Chris)

[BBfanUSA]

I see that which is funny because the US version despite getting 8 mil an ep, is usually #1 in the main 18-49 demo. (Wed has stiff comp from Modern Family and Survivor)

I think the US can thrive. It just needs that "Leona Lewis" star that pulls in people before the Voice US can find a good artist (Which is starting to look like Cassadee Pope, who is Hitting #1 on the singles chart of iTunes all the time)

I do agree with that article. I think that's why Idol has thrived all these years. Because they don't usually try modern songs, it's usually 60-80s songs with it being sung the same way multiple times by different Idols from different seasons

[Novo]

Not sure if the usual stream is working today but this stream is working fine http://ufreetv.com/fox.html

[Novo]

" I'm not packing my suitcase because i'm not going anywhere "

:joker: :joker: :worship:

[Novo]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paige is the straight Elimination

[Novo]

Good old Cece has made it to the Final 6

The Sing Off - Vino and Diamond

[BBfanUSA]

Instant Eliminated: Paige Thomas
Singoff: Diamond vs Vino

The order they were announced (It was announced in a Random Order)
Fifth Harmony
Cece Frey
Emblem3
Carly
Tate

[Brother Leon]

****. Vino is toast :\

[BBfanUSA]

Diamond looks very confident. I'm serious

[Jamie585]

Vino and Diamond bottom 2???

[Novo]

It's going to deadlock this week i reckon

Simon and LA - Vino
Demi and Britney - Diamond

[BBfanUSA]

Singoff right now, Diamond is up first.

I predict 3-1 to eliminate Vino.

[BBfanUSA]

Now Vino's turn to take the mic

[BBfanUSA]

Okay this sing off has proven that neither of these guys should be down here.

[Jamie585]

vino will be saved

[Jamie585]

omg shocked!!!

[BBfanUSA]

LA...Diamond, Backed his Act
Britney...Vino, Backed her act
Demi...Vino, No Reason
Simon...Vino, No Reason

Vino is Eliminated, Kinda sad

[Novo]

**** sake

[Mystic Mock]

How did Vino go from 3rd in the votes to in the bottom two?:shocked:

[BBfanUSA]

How did Vino go from 3rd in the votes to in the bottom two?:shocked:

3, bottom 3 out of 8 acts.

[Brother Leon]

No reason to keep up with it now really.

[Jamie585]

if it went to deadlock vino would have stayed.

[Mystic Mock]

3, bottom 3 out of 8 acts.

Yeah but that's still a drop.

[Novo]

It's all down to the great CeCe now

[BBfanUSA]

Rankings
1. Carly Rose Sonenclare (By a Tenth) (2nd Time in first)
2. Tate
3. Emblem3
4. 5th Harmony
5. Cece
6. Diamond (Note: Doesn't mean she was actually 6th in voting)

Top 3 was separated by 1%

[Jamie585]

very predictable order, Cece will be out next week for sure though :(

[Novo]

I don't know if i will carry on watching it if CeCe goes next week i just hope she can have a good run and some luck and hopefully last another 2 weeks

[Jamie585]

6th is great for Cece though, she was against the odds!

[Jamie585]

how did paige take it btw???

[Novo]

i think she is capable of a good vocal performance with the right song and Paige took it pretty well but i'm sure she said something like " I am off to do better things "

[BBfanUSA]

BTW my heart Sank when FH was announced Safe first. I immediately thought Cece was screwed.

I'm glad both are through. BTW look up the Pepsi Song/Viewers Choice options. Fifth Harmony is going to slay everyone else.

[Apple202]

How how how how

Paige put in a great performance as well, sad to see her go

[Black Dagger]

Paige went about 4 weeks later than she should have.

Yes Quen CeCe :worship:

[BBfanUSA]

Okay I don't know if there's two songs next week. But one of the themes if there are two songs next week is Viewers Choice

Next Week's Performers are Melanie Amaro (Last Year's Winner) and Ke$ha

[Apple202]

Is this on the East or West Coast btw?

[BBfanUSA]

Is this on the East or West Coast btw?

Liveshows are in LA. As is most shows. (In fact Idol and X Factor share the same studio for liveshows.)

But It's live on East Coast and Central Time Zone. West Coast isn't live.

[Apple202]

How do they do that :conf:

Is it like 11 at night in the West when they're streaming it live at 8 in the East?

[BBfanUSA]

How do they do that :conf:

Is it like 11 at night in the West when they're streaming it live at 8 in the East?

It's actually 5 PM on the west coast at the time when it's live on the east coast, When the local news is on the west coast. When it's 7 PM West Coast Time, it shows "Live".

[BBfanUSA]

It's confirmed that they'll be singing two songs this week, the second theme will be an acoustic/"Unplugged" week. Expect E3 to break out the guitars.

[BBfanUSA]

Show Tonight Everyone's singing two songs this week
Pepsi Challenge/Viewers' Choice and Acoustic.

The Results show will include last year's winner Melanie Amaro and Ke$ha

[Novo]

Don't know if 2 songs is a bad or good thing for CeCe at the minute

[Locke.]

She could sing fifteen songs she'll still be going home either way

[Brother Leon]

She could sing fifteen songs she'll still be going home either way

Most of the crowd would too.

[Novo]

Think she has saved her best til tonight

[Novo]

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_megzedQ19g1roewk4o1_500.jpg

[Jamie585]

Will be Cece's last performance tomorrow in the sing off, She's done herself proud and out run most the competition!!

[Novo]

Hopefully they'll try and get CeCe as far as possible since it's Demi's first season on the show and they won't want her to be out of Acts this early

[BBfanUSA]

I think we're going to be in for a shock on who goes home. I bet Tate will be in the bottom 3 tomorrow if it's a double. He'll go home in the singoff. If Carly is down there, She'll be safe against Anyone. E3 will be a tossup so would be 5H. Diamond will go no matter what i bet in the singoff. unless its cece there with her

[Apple202]

Cece is screwed for sure, and it's either Diamond or Fifth Harmony that goes down with her

My call is Cece and 5H

[BBfanUSA]

I going to have to wait for the show to make my predictions.
I was right on who went home last week let's see if I can go 2 in a row.

[Jamie585]

Tate and Carly are the only ones certain for next week, Bottom 2 will be a mix of either Cece, Diamond or Fifth Harmony.

Cece will go regardless.

[BBfanUSA]

Performance Order
Acoustic/Unplugged
1.Cece "Edge Of Glory" By Lady Gaga
2.Emblem3 (Demi interrupted during Simon's Introduction :joker:) by "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars
3. Carly "As Long As You Love Me" by Justin Bieber
4. Fifth Harmony "Set Fire To The Rain" By Adele (LOL Simon said he hated Adele for auditions)
5. Diamond "It's A Man's World" By James Brown
6. Tate Who "Living On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi

Pepsi Song
7. Cece "Part Of Me"
8 E3 "Forever Young"
9. Carly "If I were a Boy"
10 Fifth Harmony "Give Your Heart A Break"
11 Diamond "Diamonds"
12 Tate "If Tomorrow Never Comes"

It's a double elimination this week.

[BBfanUSA]

Well it's obivious that it's Cece going home in the instant elimination spot.

Singoff Prediction E3/Carly (I have a gut feeling this is going to happen)

[Black Dagger]

I'll probably give up when CeCe goes tonight.

Hopefully Tate wins to make up for it.

[BBfanUSA]

Hopefully Tate doesn't because there's 2000 other guys just like him in both Memphis and Nashville Tennessee.

[Jamie585]

Double Elimination again??? This is ridiculous! Cece will be 1st eliminated!

[Jamie585]

WOW Emblem 3 were sh*t!!! :laugh:

[Jamie585]

Round 1

Carly > Cece > Tate > Diamond > fifth Harmony > Emblem 3

[Jamie585]

Emblem 3 had an awful night!! They'll be in the sing off for sure!
