Pitbull
One Direction

Celeb Duets are
Demi and Fifth Harmony
Carly and LeAnn Rimes
Tate and Little Big Town (A country band)

I'll try to keep all news about the final in here.

I like Tate and Fifth Harmony, which means that Carly will win.

Hope they get R. Kelly to perform at the final again.

Tate ftw. Mostly for L.A.

I would be happy for any of them, but my Favorite are Fifth Harmony, but there pretty much guaranteed 3rd so I hope Carly wins.

We should be getting a press conference uploaded by the main account.

They had the finale press conference last year and they posted some of the questions. (IE Deadlock, what needs to be changed, how the finalists feel.)

And We have no word on the duets yets. But Tate has said he would like to duet with country legend Garth Brooks.

Fifth Harmony are Dueting with

Carly is Dueting with

I think all contestants are singing two songs for the final.

Celeb Duet and Song to Win (Can't release it as a single since it'll be so close to Xmas, Billboard would be down. Dunno if it'll be a cover or original song) could be wrong.

Also Unlike the UK since West Coast is on a tape delay. The lines will not be frozen and they'll not announce who'll finish 3rd until 30 minutes to go in the results show.

The Performance Show is tonight!!!!!!!

The Results will be tomorrow. As said above third place will not be crowned tonight

Will CeCe be there?

Yes, At least The Top 13 will be performing sometime this week. (Willie Jones has been lurking around the set as well)

I would like Fifth Harmony to win.

I think Tate will take it though. Country Singers always seem to be so loved on American Talent shows.

Scotty McCreery, Taylor Hicks and Carrie Underwood, all Idol Winners.

I want Fifth Harmony to win but I think it'll be Carly.

Whatever Vino had went to Tate. Most E3 fans are jealous of 5H on tumblr and there was a Emblem3rs love Carly Trending Topic this week. I think e3's fans will go to Carly. Therefore they should offset.

I hope through some random miracle. Fifth Harmony has gained some ground on the other two to win.

19 min til showtime.

on twitter there was a pic of two of the contestants are wearing all white outfits. And On the preshow there's a kids choir lurking around backstage, more than likely the show is opening with a tribute to the victims in the most recent shooting.

The Finale Starts right now. It's opening with a tribute group number to the Newtown victims.

Fifth Harmony did the best tonight IMO, I want them to win. They definitely had the biggest progression and journey and they've been the underdogs of this competition.

But i'd also be very happy if Carly wins.

Tate should NOT win.

Just caught up on the show! WOW Fifth Harmony We're AMAZING!! And Demi :amazed: What a voice!! They could win this :dance:

ugh, I just checked Dialidol. I swear to god if Tate wins this....I don't think it'll help the show on the US side at all unless they get Little Mix over here. (Which they're planing to actually, they did an interview with Seventeen Magazine which will be coming out in the new year)

Then again hardly anyone is using Dialidol and we might see a miracle happen tonight.

Is it the 21st in America btw? Any sign of the End? :sad:

And Carly will win I think.. Fifth Harmony could Snatch Second.

Okay
1. We're behind you actually. This is the US not Australia
2. Please don't underestimate the Country Vote.

Come on Tate :worship:

Was LeAnn Rimes Drunk last night? She was a hot mess.

Show is on right now.
Finale starting right now. It looks like a Big Brother Eviction!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope he's won :lovedup:
