The eighth live performance night of The X Factor Philippines happened September 22, 2012 at the PAGCOR Grand Theater in Paranaque. The X Factor final 5 took on songs popularized and revived by famous international and local artists, bringing in their own flavor and style.
Allen Sta. Maria opened the night with Teenage Dream originally by Katy Perry and revived by Glee's The Warblers headed by Darren Criss. This is the first time that Allen sang a pop song and her performance was not that spectacular like her past performances. The judges wanted to see her do another thing. Gabriel Maturan did Moonlight Over Paris which is revived by Paolo Santos. Judge Gary Valenciano told him that he don't need to move purposely for a ballad song. Gab's voice though is that beautiful you can't help but just be moved by his song.
KZ Tandingan sang To Make You Feel My Love which was revived by Adele. Her performance was again heartfelt and well-received by the judges. It was simply captivating. Jeric Medina rendered Do You Believe In Me revived by South Border and the judges wanted him to push harder. After all, he's got one of the best vocals in the competition so he needed to step it all up and move some more.
Daddy's Home gave another harmonized performance taking on Tell Me revived by Side A. The group did a good job with the song and received praises from the judges.
