Hey everyone! This week was all about giving thanks on The X Factor. Each contestant dedicated their performance to people they're thankful for.
Two-time leaderboard champion Tate Stevens opened the show, his performance of "Already There" dedicated to his father. He's just SO GOOD. Every week. And I loved watching him be vulnerable on stage.

Diamond White was up next dedicating her "Because You Love Me" performance to her mother. She gave me chills. So emotional and powerful...at just 13?! I want to say it's impossible-but she proves that wrong.
Emblem3...I swear you guys are going to get bored with me because I have nothing but positive feedback for these guys. They're the whole package, I think. And their performance of One Republic's "Secrets" that they dedicated to their youth group leaders proved that once again.

Arin Ray. Here's the thing- he's a really talented kid, I just think Britney's moving in the wrong direction with him completely. He should be moving and dancing. Not doing Enrique Iglesias' "Hero", although the dedication to his older brother was really heart warming.
I'm starting to think Beatrice Miller is an acquired talent, because I just can't seem to see in her what everyone else does. Her performance of "Chasing Cars" dedicated to her premature sisters was emotional, yeah, but I just didn't like it.
Paige Thomas' "Every Time" performance with Britney Spears right in front of her was very risky. Because she performed it way stronger than Britney did-but maybe that's just me. Thoughts?
Okay, to sum up Vino Alan's performance in one word-CHILLS. Everything about it was amazing-dedicating it to the US military, the song choice ("God Bless The USA"), and his vocals were so...ugh, just watch it below. Because it was flawless.

CeCe Frey dedicated her emotional rendition of "Wind Beneath My Wings" to her sister who passed away at just seven years old. It was heartbreaking to watch and I'm so proud of her for being able to do that-I know I'd break down mid-song.
One of my favorites of the night was Fifth Harmony with "I'll Stand By You." They dedicated the song to God and to their families. I think these five girls are just beginning to show us what they're capable of. The choir was also a very nice touch.
Lets get one thing straight: if Carly Rose Sonenclar doesn't win this competition, there's something seriously wrong. Her rendition of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" had me rewinding multiple times on my DVR.

RESULTS SHOW XTRA
The Top 10 kicked off Results Night with "Fix You" along with a very talented choir. Now, the results this week were definitely predictable. In the sudden death elimination, Arin Ray was sent home. Not going to lie, I expected it, but I was upset because he never fully got to showcase what he came to the show to do.
During the show Hit Zone favorite Cher Lloyd performed her most recent single "Oath" with Becky G.
The two contestants left to sing for survival were Beatrice Miller and CeCe Frey. Beatrice sang Dido's "White Flag" and CeCe did "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson.
All but Britney chose Beatrice Miller as the contestant to leave the competition-and I can't say I'm upset about that.
With Beatrice and Arin gone, only eight remain. Their rankings on the leader board
are below.
8-CeCe Frey
7-Fifth Harmony
6-Paige Thomas
5-Diamond White
4-Emblem 3
3-Vino Alan
2-Tate Stevens
1-Carly Rose Sonenclar (WOOHOO!!!!! Yes. I really did scream out loud when that happened.)
