The Elimination of Khaya Cohen and Tim Olstad...

The first act to leave the competition tonight is Khaya Cohen. I really liked her. She had ‘the X-Factor’, along with the voice, plus stage presence. Khaya has that strong voice that could take you to a different realm, which is what I love about her. She was one of my favorites of the season. It’s way too early for her departure. I hope she goes far, with the voice like hers, I’m sure she will. Good luck Khaya. 

One Direction, the magnificent boy band (laugh out loud). I don’t really understand what all of the hype is about with them. The performance they did tonight was kind of dry. The only appealing thing about their performance was the stage set up. I liked the bright lights, and the animation the stage displayed. That is all.

The three bottom acts of the night were Restless Road, Tim Olstad, and Carlito Olivero.

As much as I disagree with the Tim Olstad and Carlito Olivero being the bottom two acts, someone has to go. These two both have amazing voices, which is why I don’t understand why they ended up in this position. Regardless of the results, Paulina is guaranteed to lose a mentee.

The second act to that leaves the competition this week is Tim Olstad. I could tell that Tim was hurt about Paulina sending him home, but she had to do it. If she didn’t do it, Simon was going to, in my opinion. If I had to choose between him and Carlito, I probably would’ve gone with Tim as well. Carlito has a bit more of star quality than Tim, although, I like them both. It was a bit too early for him to leave the competition as well, yet again, someone had to go. 

P.S. I really hate watching weaker acts walk through the competition with ease, when stronger acts are the first to leave. It sucks! I guess that’s always going to happen in these talent competitions (sigh)… See you guys next week.

The Elimination of Carlos Guevara, 'Sweet Suspense', and Rachel Potter.

The first act to go home in the Top 13 (yesterday) was Carlos Guevara.

The second act to leave the competition this week is Sweet Suspense. I do not agree with that elimination. In my opinion Sweet Suspense was the best group in the competition, and the most marketable one. I liked them a lot, it was way too soon to say goodbye to them. I’ll miss there colorful/girly performances. I wish them the best.

Selena Gomez and that amateur performance she did tonight was not the least bit of entertaining to me. She tried to be sexy, and it just didn’t really work out. (Laugh out loud.) Now Fifth Harmony on the other hand, their performance was way more entertaining. I loved that playful/sexy performance they gave us. It was great to watch, and the song was very catchy. So the round of applause goes to Fifth Harmony.

In the process of eliminating the third act of the week, the bottom 3 acts of the night turned out to be Alex and Sierra, Rachel Potter, and Khaya Cohen. Alex and Sierra somehow managed to get to safety, leaving Rachel and Khaya to go head to head for survival.

The third act that fell short this week was Rachel Potter. In spite of me originally not wanting to see Rachel in the live shows, I can honestly say she changed my perspective on her. She’s a good singer, and she had great potential, but unfortunately America didn’t think so. Good luck Rachel, I hope to see you in the future.

P.S. am I the only person to notice the blue lighter Simon had in his hand? (Laugh out loud) See you guys next week.
