I did not think any Sweet Suspense or Potter should have went home last night and the other girl should have not been in the bottom two.
me neither. I think tim should've definitely been gone and I don't know who else. based on personal preference not talent I would say Lillie. rion would've been my choice a few weeks ago I thought she didn't belong and was being emotionally put through because of her disability but the last 2 weeks she has impressed me a lot. like gris said though her arm swinging and stomping is a little distracting but can't really knock her for that it's not her fault.

I really hope the order in which they were saved wasn't from most votes to least I'd really be mad if alex and sierra leave next week. there is just something so pure and enticing about them. I would pay money to go watch them perform.

anyone else not big on restless road? don't get me wrong they are good singers but for some reason I am just not a fan. I don't look forward to their performances at all and find myself distracted during them. I wouldn't be upset to see them go

was she speaking of nikki or just the show in general?


She didn't name anyone, but the assumption is Nikki.

Yeah, I would have sent Fifth Garmony home too. It was a lousy performance. I don't know how they are ranked high in 41 countries.

Restless Road was good once. They've been just okay since. I could live without Lily also.

I will be highly ticked if Alex and Sierra go home prematurely, but as a group, they have to do better next week. This week was not good.

there doesn't seem to be much interest in the x factor on here this year. ratings aren't too good either. i'm afraid this may be the last season and idol probably won't last much longer either. we may only have the voice left in the near future

My family and I watch all the singing shoes, (X, Idol, Voice, AGT).

IMO, Voice is by far the best and is widening the gap each season. X Factor is at an all-time low. The talent is just not there and the choice of judges to complement Simon and Demi are God awful. That wacky Paulina is illiterate, really tough to watch. Also, the host Mario is the corniest dude on tv.

Don't feel like catching up on this thread, but here are my takes so far:

1)Sweet Suspense was hot.
2)5th Harmony is absolutely terrible.
3)Demi and Kelly are in cahoots to get one of their singers to win. (Glad it came down to two of theirs last night)
4)Relentless Road sucks. (Main singer is good, the other two are pawns)
5)Only people who vote non-stop are young kids, and Khaya Cohen's soulful voice will never appease to them. She'll be gone soon, even though she's got one of the best voices.
6)Lillie is overrated.
7)Bring back Sweet Suspense so I have something to look at atleast while trying to put on a happy face for the ole lady.

I think you're right about XFactor. I don't see it coming back next season. AI has a chance, though, with the new judges. They're more appealing than the past few years, but we'll see. Mariah indicated that someone other than them sent people packing in the tryouts or that's what I got out of her statement.

I don't like AGT. Too many BS acts and silliness for me.

I agree that Paulina is really difficult to listen to. She has no idea what she's doing.

Well, I'm back.

The first song for Jeff is Bohemian Rhapsody. Going to be something if he pulls this off.

And, he did. He did a great job with that very difficult song.

Josh Levi didn't a terrific job.

I love, love, love Alex and Sierra!! Those who aren't seeing them are missing something unique and really entertaining. I'd buy it and watching them is so fun. She had a few pitchy spots, but hardly noticeable in the big picture.

Restless Road did a good job tonight. I liked it. They may go home though. I must gave missed the harmony problems. I didn't notice what Demi did.

Elena looked way uncomfortable and sort of ridiculous. Wrong song for her to me.

I knew you'd love them.

Gutt really did well with that song. I was worried that it was going to be a train wreck, but he was way solid. I hope folks don't forget about him since he went first. After Alex and Sierra, I forgot about him.

Simon and Paulina got into over staging.

Khaya was better this week for sure. Not sure about Elona or whatever her name is. I wanted to tell her to stand up at the start. She looked so awkward during that song. She's got a nice voice, but I really didn't enjoy it so much.

I didn't love Rion as much as the judges did, but her voice was very smooth and I thought having her sit was a good move for that song. Pure singing and not all that jumping around that takes away from her performances.

1)If Restless Road doesn't go home this week I'm boycotting. That was absolutely terrible. I don't see how they're still there, especially since Sweet Suspense already exited.
2)Demi is a terrible mentor. She's got to be the worst song chooser ever.
3)Paulina is getting increasingly annoying week in and week out. She says the same things over and over and never criticizes. She "loves" everyone.
4)I started off really liking Khaya Cohen. She's in a tailspin for me. I don't know if it's song choice or just her sound, but she's falling off.
5)Jeff Gutt had the best performance, IMO. And I'm not a big fan of his either.
6)Alex and Sierra are awesome. I hope they go really far.
7)Restless Road/Khaya Cohen in the bottom 2. Comes down to Paulina, she's sending Restless Road home!

I watched Alex and Sierra again here in the video at the bottom of the article.

Awesome. They make this entire show worth watching.

Not really surprised Khaya went home. I thought she was much better last night, though she was never a favorite. She's talented, though. Maybe the wrong songs or something.

Two people going home. I'm watching back and forth.

It was too early for Khaya to go home based on talent, but unless something changed, she wasn't going to win. There's something about her that stops me short of her being a favorite. I thought Ellona would go before her. Ellona looked so uncomfortable last night. Strange the way the votes are going in some ways.

There's a singoff between the last two. They've already announced those two.
