X Factor USA Show Highlights & Videos from 10/3 – It’s Boot Camp!

Simon puts the contestants up at a ritzy hotel in Miami. The contestants have to each sing one song in front of everyone. There are 120 performers and half will go home by the end of tonight.

Diamond White is 13 years old and decides to sing I Have Nothing. She was awful. This song was way too big for a 13 year old to be singing. She was so off key and it sounded too karaoke. It was like we were watching her in a high school play.

There were segments shown of other performers who were critiqued by the judges. They included Austin Carrini, David Correy, Dinah Hansen, Lyric Da Queen and some rapper chick.

The dude who sounds so much like Elton John way over sang his song, I thought by the judges loved him.

Carly Rose Sonclare sings Runaway. Simon said the song was too old for her age. She was acting very immature. Too immature to take a singing competition like this seriously.

Jennel Garcia has massive sex appeal, according to Demi. This is the first time she has ever been away from her parents. Simon said she was very spicy.

When I hear Vino Alan sing, he reminds me of a contestant on American Idol, Chris Daughtry but with a deeper voice. He sang Company and didn’t do too bad. Simon liked him, Britney hated him. His appearance is what kills him with the tats and pockmarks.

Next up is another segment of hopefuls who all end up doing horrible. Johnny does a rap song and forgets the words to the song; the “Annie” girl was completely off pitch. It was awful. Trevor, the kid who was dehydrated and passed out last week sang Starships and he did an awful job and Jake Garza starts to sing and then breaks down and starts crying for his mom. Are you kidding?

Then it’s the march of the boy bands. L3vel, Citizen and Jetset sang. Emblem3 sang Iris which they did a good job with. Demi was especially impressed.

Tara Simon sings Somebody to Love and way overdoes the song and has a slight wardrobe mishap. Willie Jones takes on a Kenny Chesney song. Simon loved him, Britney hated him. Paige Thomas tanks on a Whitney song and CeCe Frey also takes on a Whitney song but does a much better job.

So after all that, the solo round is complete and the judges make their cuts. Some of those who were cut were Jessica, Rizzloe Jones, Jordyn Floey and little Trevor Moran.
