X Factor USA Show Highlights & Videos from 11/28

The Top 8 will be performing hits that all went to #1 tonight and tomorrow night there will be another double elimination. Also, we are told tomorrow night is the world premiere of new videos from Will.i.am and Britney Spears.

Diamond White takes on I Want to Dance with Somebody by Whitney Houston. That is too much of a predicable song for her. This is the 2nd or 3rd time she has sung a Whitney song in this competition. Diamond does a terrible job with this song. She is all pitch and demonstrates a lack of energy. She tries the high notes only to be way under pitch. LA says she gets an A for effort, Demi said her performance was fun, Simon loved her and Demi was proud of her.

Vino Alan sang You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling by The Righteous Brothers. This was not his original song choice. He was to do If You Don’t Know Me By Now but LA made him change it. Vino doesn’t like his new song. He has great vocals but he wasn’t ready to do this song and messed up the lyrics. You can tell he is not having fun with this song. Britney says he sings the same thing every week and Demi agreed with her. Simon likes his voice but said this was not the right song for him and LA said that was a winning performance.

Paige Thomas performs Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. Paige is a performer and she wants to do something more up-tempo. LA said it was her best performance, Simon said she looked like a real pop star on stage and Demi loved her performance.

Fifth Harmony took on Stronger by Kelly Clarkson. This was a solid performance from the entire group. But Ally lost her grandfather this week and she was visibly upset on stage. Those tears are going to turn into more votes for the group. LA said he didn’t hear harmony, Demi thought it was one of their best performances and Simon thought they were fantastic.

Carly Rose Sonenclar sings Rolling In The Deep by Adele. Carly did an amazing job bringing a new twist to this song. She was just incredible. LA thought she was talented, Demi said she was proud of her and Simon said she could definitely sell records.

Tate Stevens sang Somebody Like You by Keith Urban. He thought that in order to gain momentum over Carly, he needs to bring out his guitar. And he did just that the problem is that he didn’t play it much on stage. His performance makes you think you are at a karaoke bar. Britney says the world may see him accept a country award one day, Demi said he was awesome and LA was proud of him.

CeCe Frey took on Lady Marmalade. CeCe does a great job but she doesn’t put any heart and soul into her songs. She looks completely awkward on stage as well. Britney and Demi loved but Simon thinks her time is up on the show.

Last up is Emblem3 taking on I’m A Believer by the Monkees. Emblem is a boy band being molded by Simon much like One Direction. Are they good? Yeah they are great. But they are nothing different. LA said he would sign them right now and of course Simon loved them, they are his group. The girls think Simon is turning them into something they are not.

Double elimination tomorrow night. Who stays and who goes?
