As I’m typing this, my fingers are literally shaking. I want so badly for Fifth Harmony to make it. So much so, I actually voted last night for the first time this season. Here’s hoping my 15 votes made the difference ;)
Speaking of my favorite girls, it’s kinda hilarious Bruno Mars is on deck tonight. After all, it’s because of his sisters that Fifth Harmony had to change their name twice- LYLAS and 1432. Would the Mars family again be responsible for “locking them out of heaven”? Let’s get to the results. BTW. Some teen chick named Bridgit Mendler wearing glittered shorts performed, making me wish T. Swift was here instead ;)
In a SHOCKING surprise, Fifth Harmony is the first to advance to the finals. Even if they don’t win, the look on Britney’s surprise SLASH disgusted face was worth it alone. Clearly, the “Toxic” singer was hoping the quintet would get the axe. Sorry Brit, it’s Fifth Harmony bitch.
Next to hear the good news is Tate Stevens. Not surprising but BOO. I really was hoping that the country singer would be heading off into the sunset. Oh well. That leaves Emblem3 and Carly Rose Sonenclar battling it out for the final spot. Personally, the producers should’ve put Tate and Emblem as the last two to hear the verdict. There’s no way in hell Carly Rose is going anywhere, despite some negative feedback last night.
In the most SHOCKING NEWS of the year (NOT), Carly Rose advances, wiping out the Emblem3 guys. Sonenclar is all class and tells the guys she can’t wait to buy their album. Truth be told, I actually believe her. I really think the ska trio appeals to that demo. Emblem3 shouldn’t feel too bad, I’m 100% certain that Simon is signing them.
Now that we have our Final 3, who do you think is going to take it all? Who are you rooting for? Sound off.
As if I wasn’t excited enough for Fifth Harmony’s safety, this bit of news put me on cloud 9 to the nth degree. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that LA Reid isn’t returning next season. Instead he’s going back to run Epic Records on a full-time basis. Here’s what he said about his experience on the show and his future.
“I have the utmost respect for Simon Cowell,” Reid said Thursday. “He is the very best, and I have had the opportunity to learn so much from him. Working with him on X Factor has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m honored to have sat on the panel with such incredible talent. Of course I will miss the show; In my opinion Simon attracts the best talent,” added Reid. “But I’m looking forward to getting back to my core business and the responsibility of running Epic Records.”
Will you miss LA. Reid? Who do you think will replace him? Do you think Britney and Demi are coming? Sound off below.

I am so glad Fifth Harmony made it through! Britney’s face was priceless and a bit unprofessional…oh well. I really like Carly Rose…but I’m rooting for Fifth Harmony!

I actually found it to be quite brilliant. They gave Fifth Harmony a bad critique to mobilize their fans into voting. Really hoping they get signed after this, I’d love to here what they’d com up with on their own.

My guess is that Tate Stevens will take it as he is the only one of the 3 that sings country pop music, the other two will split the vote and country music fans vote heavily in these contests, with country singers often winning because of the dedicated vote. Emblem3 will prove to be the stand out act from this season though, selling far more albums over time & becoming super stars. After all, One Direction came in 3rd in X Factor UK but has gone on to be international super stars, easily out classing those that came in ahead of them. It is possible that Carly Rose may have a long, successful career but she’s just too young to say definitively. Certainly talented but not until she’s 17 or 18 would it be possible to have a better evaluation. I don’t thing Fifth Harmony is going anywhere beyond this season X Factor.

I echo HarryR’s opinions above…
Btw, is X-Factor open to Canadian voting, or are you living in the US Donovan?

Fifth Harmony has more in common with successful reality groups like One Direction and Girls Aloud than Emblem3. Emblem3 has the ability to become big, but their genre’s biggest acts stateside are Sum41 and Simple Plan. That’s not a whole lot of longevity. Assuming they even make it that far, of course. ;)

fifth harmony are just so phony, all this “i love her like a sister” is just boring and untrue… and they aren’t even that great, probably a couple of those girls are but not the 5…

I think people forget that Fifth Harmony is a group of very young girls. I’m glad they have a fresh innocence to them and above everything else these girls CAN SING. Emblem3 is just a very douchie trio of Justin Bieber look-a-likes and One Direction (also can’t sing) wannabes with a bit of an edge, whatever. L.A. was so harsh on 5H for not harmonizing, granted it’s in their name but E3 is nasal, no vibrato noise. I get it, they are “performers” but my ears just couldn’t handle it. I’m really hoping Carly takes this. Despite her age she is all class and talent.

LOL, just saw Britney’s reaction when they announced Fifth Harmony was through to the finals… Classic. It was actually funny. She was just surprised and it’s just a “reaction” to something that just happened, perfectly natural and it’s perfectly okay. Just so happened that it was caught on cam. At least Britney’s real, not some like other judges faking it and pretending to be all nice and sweet or whatever.
