Another one will sing their last song on The X Factor tonight, but who will it be? We'll find out after they drag it out for an hour.
Will there be any lip-syncing during tonight's performances? We start out with a group performance and I don't see any, so good job guys!
To waste time tonight before we get any results, we first get a performance from Willow Smith...she should have stopped at "Whip My Hair." The trend continues as Jessie J comes out and sings her new single to waste even more time, but this one I actually enjoyed.
Again, a half-hour into the show and we finally get to meet the Top 11. Remember, the two acts with the lowest votes will sing for survival and the nine acts with the most votes move on to next week. The nine acts which are safe: Stacy Francis, Astro, Melanie Amaro, Marcus Candy, Leroy Bell, Rachel Crow, Josh Krajcik, Drew and Chris Rene.
That leaves us with Lakoda Rayne and The Stereo Hogzz...again, the bottom two acts are from the groups category. America is definitely not feeling the groups, or are they just not as good as the other acts?
Time for them to sing for survival, with the judges voting to determine who will go home. Lakoda Rayne is up first and another performance from them I am just not feeling. Like I have said before, I just can't get into this group. They are very pretty, but they just feel lost up there and don't mesh well together for me.
Now it is time for The Stereo Hogzz, which were in this same position last week, so they have some experience to maybe get past the nerves...but can the backup singers make sure to keep the microphones at their mouths when they're supposed to be singing? This is a group that can sing and can sing well together...great song.
The acts have performed and now it is in the hands of the judges to see who goes home. L.A. is up first and he votes to send The Stereo Hogzz home, Nicole votes for The Stereo Hogzz, after some drama with Paula and her having no clue, she votes for Lakoda Rayne to hopefully save The Stereo Hogzz. After all that, Simon votes for The Stereo Hogzz and they will be going home.
The X Factor airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8/7c on Fox.
