The X Factor Philippines Top 4 elimination night (results show) happened September 30, 2012 and it was Allen Sta. Maria who got the boot, revealing the Top 3 who will be vying for the grand finals next week.
Allen's elimination from The X Factor Philippines was the most hurtful since it was just one step away to the grand finals. She was joined by KZ Tandingan in the bottom two lowest text and online vote getters. This was the second time that the bottom two came from the wings of only one mentor (the first one was when A.K.A. JAM was pitted against fellow Gary V mentee, Daddy's Home).
The two had a sing-off for survival and Allen Sta. Maria sang Pink's Perfect while KZ Tandingan performed John Legend's Ordinary People.
All the three judges asked favored KZ Tandingan and voted to eliminate Allen Sta. Maria, citing that the former has the more X Factor who will be representing the Philippines to the world. Charice, Allen's mentor burst in tears even before she gave her advice to Allen (thanked God she was not given the task to vote off one of them).
Surely, Charice's world was rattled and her heart broke knowing that both her girls, Allen and KZ were on the verge of elimination. Last night though wasn't the night of these two girls as they performed less than their capabilities. We ranked them as the two weakest last night but we did not expect KZ to be part of the bottom two.
Now, we are down to The X Factor Philippines Final 3. Who among
- Gabriel Maturan
- Daddy's Home
- KZ Tandingan
will emerge as the very first grand winner of The X Factor Philippines and will take home the PhP 4 million worth of prizes, including a recording contract? Find out next week on The X Factor Philippines two-part grand finals (October 6 and 7).
