The X Factor USA Season 2 Top 4 results night happened December 13 (December 14, MLA time) and the Top 3 finalists that will battle in the finale were revealed. Emblem3 from Simon Cowell's Groups category was eliminated, losing their ticket to the finale.
The Top 3 was determined by America's votes and the judges—Simon Cowell, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato and L.A. Reid—had no power to send someone home so it's how America wanted the finale to be. They are Fifth Harmony (Simon Cowell's Groups), Tate Stevens (L.A. Reid's Over 25s) and Carly Rose Sonenclar (Britney Spears' Teens)
Before Emblem 3 bade goodbye, Bruno Mars got to perform his latest single Locked Out of Heaven from his newly-released album "Unorthodox Jukebox."
Last night, The X Factor USA Season 2 Top 4 Carly Rose Sonenclar, Tate Stevens, Fifth Harmony and Emblem 3 all took on two songs—one they have chosen for themselves and the other one chosen by their mentors. Emblem 3 performed Baby, I Love Your Way by Peter Frampton and Hey Jude by The Beatles (as chosen by Simon) and though their song selections fitted their style, it's not enough to impress America that much.
So, it's Carly versus Tate versus Fifth Harmony in The X Factor US Season 2 Finale.
The two-night grand finale of The X Factor USA 2012 will happen on December 19 and 20 airing at around 8-10 PM on Fox. The star-studded event will feature special performances, surprise guests and more before the revelation of The X Factor US grand winner who will take home a $5 million contract.
