Hey guys! I'm here again with your X Factor Xtra! First off, I'm happy and sorry to say that yesterday I gave you some false information. My bad! Rocker Jennel Garcia did NOT go home on Wednesday night's episode (thank goodness!).
Last night's episode took the 60 remaining contestants and pit them against each other for Task Two: The Battle Rounds. First up? Jennel Garcia vs vocal coach Tara Simon. Tara chose the song "Landslide" which took Jennel out of her comfort zone. Both were unimpressive. Tara overdid her vocals on the song, which overshadowed Jennel.
Next up was Beatrice Miller against Carly Rose Sonenclar. Both girls took "Pumped Up Kicks" and made it their own. I thought they both won that battle.
Diamond White sang a stripped down version of Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" with Dinah Jane Hansen. Dinah had a small mishap with her performance, but didn't take away from the whole song. Even without the mistake, I think Diamond was clearly better.
Both country singers Willie Jones and Tate Stevens took the stage with "Nobody Knows," and Willie forgot the lyrics. I was so upset by that because I love him. But he wasn't the only one. A lot of the acts lost their lyrics.
One of my favorite battles of the night was between Arin Ray and Normani Hamilton. Their rendition of "What Makes You Beautiful" even made Simon Cowell smile.
Jillian Jensen versed Latasha Robinson, and Latasha cracked under the pressure and forgot the words. Jillian tried to help, but there wasn't much she could do.
The last battle duet of the night was between CECE Frey and Paige Thomas. Paige lost her place a bit during their performance of "Secrets", but CECE knew what she was doing. CECE chose the song and I think she did it to psych Paige out. But who knows?
Bootcamp continues next Wednesday 8/7c on FOX!
