"We watched the show back and the final 12 we are very happy
with," Simon Cowell announced at the top of the show, "but we believe we made a
mistake with one act," adding that White had been asked to rejoin the show and
become lucky No. 13.
Welcome back, Diamond.
White joined the other contestants to tackle songs from movies.
The Teens
Arin Ray performed "American Boy," by Estelle featuring Kanye West, amid sparkling lights and swaggering dancers but still managed to hold focus with his hip-shaking moves and solid vocals. "Arin, first of all, what happened to you from last year to this year?" L.A. Reid told the "X Factor" returnee, who competed as part of a group last year. "Because you're a different person than you were the first time I met you." Reid thought Ray had finally found his vocal identity. Demi Lovato thought he looked "smooth" and "like a star." Cowell complimented Spears' mentoring. And Spears thought Ray "owned it."
Beatrice Miller (mostly) overcame vocal issues to sing "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls – sounding a little like a three-pack-a-day 13-year-old. The issues may have hindered her range, but Reid didn't seem to notice, telling Miller the tone of her voice "sounds like a hit record … just sensational." Lovato liked the way Miller poured her soul into the song, and Cowell declared Miller to be "unbelievable," though he did note the vocal glitches.Thoughtful details such as interior security pockets make the Canada Goose Chateau Parka for an urban journey. Spears, however, is Miller's biggest fan, telling her she had the "best personality out of anybody in this whole competition."
Carly Rose Sonenclar moved on from the cheesy girlish costuming and concept Spears had heaped on her last week to show her vocal maturity and power with Bruno Mars' "It Will Rain." "That was really heartfelt," Reid told her. "It was honest -- I loved it, and I love you." Lovato thought the performance was "night and day" compared with last week's and said Sonenclar was really "in her element." Cowell said it sounded like a hit song and Sonenclar had "real guts," adding, "I've got a feeling with you,As possible ice also cooler flatulence out with Canada Goose Womens New heavy-duty parka. Carly, we're watching a star in the making." Spears again rolled out the big compliments, telling her mentee, "You should have closed the show, because nobody can follow that."
Diamond White stepped out in a snappy white ladytux and sang Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing," hoping to prove the judges' were right to bring her back. It may not have been her best performance (she was a little stiff), but Reid, noting that the song choice was "ambitious," thought White "brought it home." Lovato felt the performance "tugged at her heart." Cowell declared that "dreams can come true," thought the whole thing was great, and said he was so glad White was back in the competition. Spears said White "definitely channeled Whitney and she would be very proud."
Young Adults
CeCe Frey brought back her leopard spots (or whatever animal they're supposed to evoke) for her amateurish, frequently off-key and breathless take on Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger," during which she very deliberately took a moment to show off the revealingly sheer bodysuit she wore under a red satiny jacket. (Was she supposed to look like a circus ringmaster or some kind of military dictator?) Reid reluctantly admitted he hadn't been blown away by the performance. Spears thought she was a "little rebel" who "brought fire," but Cowell said that anything he'd liked about Frey to start with (whatever that was) had been "thrown away" and that the song choice was "just horrible." "Cece, you are being taken into a direction you shouldn't be going into," Cowell said, slamming mentor Lovato without mentioning her directly,The Canada Goose Constable Parka has long been known as the industrial parka of the north. and saying Frey should be making her own song choices. After Cowell's critique, Frey looked furious. (Maybe don't stand so close, Mario Lopez.) Eye of the tiger, indeed.
Jennel Garcia, who is pretty much unrecognizable compared with the soft-and-sweet-on-the-outside, sexy-on-the-inside small-town girl we met in auditions, sang a leathery "I Love Rock and Roll." Reid more-or-less rightly called it a "Joan Jett parody" lacking in originality and inventiveness. Spears,Cheap Moncler Coats outlet we offer,Canada Goose Expedition Parka Sale Store. on the other hand, thought it was "hot, hot, hot." Cowell again piled on Garcia's mentor,Cheap Canada Goose Jackets outlet Canada Goose Trillium Parka. telling her he hated what Lovato had done to her look and that she wasn't challenging her musically, either. "You are better than this," he told Garcia. "You really are." "That's why I'm her mentor, and you're not," snapped Lovato, maintaining that the young women in the audience had loved Garcia's performance.
Paige Thomas withstood a pretty serious costume malfunction – her flowy skirt blew waaay up to reveal her unexpectedly sturdy-looking underwear – and a guy manhandling her and dragging his lips across her neck to deliver solid vocals on Berlin's "Take My Breath Away." It was quite a production, and Reid thought it was "amazing" but for the song itself, which he called "good" but not "great." Spears also complimented the production values, which she thought were "shockingly" good. And Cowell didn't miss another opportunity to slam Lovato (who, I suddenly remembered, is an anti-bullying spokeswoman), saying he thought the production was overwrought and lacked imagination. Lovato has obviously learned to stick up for herself over the years and wasn't taking Cowell's mean-girl act sitting down. "Obviously, everybody in the audience disagrees with you," she told him. Snap.
