X Factor USA - Season 3

Last night's episode was one of the best episodes ever of The X Factor USA. All of the contestants did a great job, and Lillie gave not only the best performance of the night, but possibly the greatest performance on the show:

Aaaand now she's gone. Good thing no one watches this show anyway..
 
I'm not that surprised with Lillie, but I am with Josh - Rion should have gone. It was really important to change things up with Rion and have her moving around the stage, but I didn't connect with that performance and Josh was far better than Rion in the sing off.

I'm really hoping for a top three with Alex & Sierra, Ellona and Jeff.

I"m hoping for these three too. I wanted Rion gone since they first started with the four chairs thing.
 
I'm sorry but Lillie's take on Summertime wasn't a patch on Fantasia's rendition on Idol or even Leona's.

No one can compare to Fantasia's rendition which Simon was making a dig at. It's unfortunate that Josh had to go because he did have the best sing off.

My Top Three

is Jeff, Alex & Sierra, and Carlito. Sure Ellona deserves a spot in the final but i'm put off by her.
 
I'm so disappointed at Lillie and Josh's eliminations this week. Lillie was by far, the best vocalist who's ever been on X Factor USA and Josh was the best performer.

Restless road are awful. They have no chemistry, no stage presence, no vocal harmonies and they really can't sing well individually. They should have been automatically eliminated. Then Rion and Carlito should have been in the singoff, with Carlito being saved again.. That would have been fair.
 
I was very annoyed with Paulina when she introduced Carlito's save me performance instead of Josh. Seriously, I'm so over her. She should know the names of all of the boys in her category by now, no excuses. She's constantly bashed on Twitter/Facebook/Youtube because she acts so unprofessional.

Simon hiring her as a judge is such a joke. Josh would have done so much better in the competition, if only he had a better mentor.

I agree, i get so uncomfortable watching her that i tend to fast forward whenever she's on the screen. Epitome of useless.
 
Paulina contradicts herself and says the wrong things, but she's actually said more than Britney which is atleast something.
 
I lost so much respect for Simon as a judge this week. He's been receiving a lot of bad criticism from viewers and tv critics because he copped out of making a decision on results night, when he clearly wanted to save Josh. I admire Kelly because it's clearly not easy to send a disabled singer home, but she made the right choice. The truth is, Josh was better than Rion on the sing-off, and also the previous performance night.

Also, here's the infamous moment when Paulina failed to remember her own contestant's name:

This weeks performances was some of the best. Everyone performed great more or less. Surprise of the night was Restless Road. Their second performance of Wake Me Up was truley magical. It finally clicked and they came together as a band. I can understand why they where so emotional.

Paulina needs to be banned from the show because she has destroyed all her contestants. Carlito just struggles compared to the other singers. Rion though she was great it is her time to go.
 
I agree, Restless Road were surprisingly better. I was disappointed by Jeff, the song choices seemed way too safe. Ellona was incredible, loved both the performances. I hope Carlito and Rion will go, but I doubt we'll get both leaving tomorrow.

Was Paulina drunk last night? I honestly think that was her worst night on the show, in terms of judging and giving critiques. I couldn't understand most of what she was saying and it didn't make any sense. The comments about Jeff's blood and cutting himself was just too much. She's so annoying.

As for the contestants, Alex & Sierra and Jeff gave the best performances by a mile. I loved all of their song choices, and Alex & Sierra's version of "Say Something" even reached #2 on iTunes.
 
YES!! The two acts that I could care less about left the show. Thank you Simon for getting it right this time.

P.S. Alex & Sierra are doing gangbusters on the iTunes chart!! No. 1 and No. 12
 
You prefer Carlito and Restless Road over Ellona? Ok then.

Rion deserved to go but Carlito should have been going with her elsewhere. Ellona was phenomenal and the whole point of these double performances is that you show versatility - an uptempo performance, and a ballad. The only one who did that fully was Ellona.

I sort of wanted Kelly to say "harmonies need to be tighter, girls!" to Little Mix for old times sake.
 
I am not denying Ellona's talent. She was by far the most talented singer on the show. It wasn't until this week that i saw any versatility from her though. She finally calmed down and sung something quiet and soft. The whole pop diva/dancer routine came off a little too "try hard".

Haha... she was mess. I get this vibe that Demi doesn't like her or something, she's always making a face when Paula speaks or interrupt her. Kelly and Demi never interact with paula the way the do with each other.

I'm so glad Rion left, I wanted her gone since the beginning of time. I didn't really care about carlito, but Rion just needed to go. I was shocked when Elona left, but as long as it's not Alex and Sierra.

I don't want Simon to win actually, because he irritates me but I really want to see A and S winning this competition or Jeff Gutt.
 
Rion's elimination was so long overdue, and I was so happy to see her go. Ellona singing Applause was a terrible mistake, and it reminded me of when Colton Dixon was sent home after Bad Romance on American Idol. Horrible song choice.

I really want Alex & Sierra to win. Their voices blend so well together and their version of Say Something proves that they can have success after the show. Kelly is doing an amazing job mentoring Jeff, and I loved his performance of Without You last week. They work so well together, and I hope he at least finishes in 2nd place because he deserves it.
