Tonight is a big night for The X Factor because it’s the four chair challenge. Everyone has to bring their A game and the 4 people sitting in each category at the end of the show make it to the live shows. Kelly Rowland is working with the over 25 group and Victoria Carriger is up first. She is a single mom to 8 kids and won everyone over last week. Demi Lovato loves the rasp in her voice and also loves her passion. Paulina Rubio thinks she is fantastic and Simon Cowell isn’t a fan. Kelly points out that Victoria silenced the room with her voice. Kelly tells her that she’s ready for the competition and she gets to take a seat.
Kristine Mirelle is up next with a different twist on Britney Spear’s Oops I Did It Again. Demi thought it was way too pitchy and Paulina agrees. Simon thinks the vocal wasn’t perfect but he sees potential in her. Kelly isn’t sure whether or not to give the seat to Kristine but she opts to put her in one of the seats.
Jeff Gutt won hearts over by bringing his son along for this ride and putting being a single dad first. His performance of Amazing Grace is just amazing and I’;; be shocked if he doesn’t get a seat. Paulina thinks his inner power is captivating and Demi thinks his talent is endless. Simon thinks it is the best performance of the night. Kelly thinks that keeping Jeff in the competition ups the caliber of competition. Rachel Potter is a Nashville girl that decided to march out Beyonce’s Irreplacable and demolished it. Demi tells her it was rough and Simon thinks the decision is difficult. Kelly is shocked by her performance but puts her in a seat anyway as the audience boos.
Lorie Moore is a retired football player with a huge R&B voice that is ready to attack her dreams. Demi felt the passion behind the performance and Paulina isn’t sure where she would fit in. Simon thinks Lorie can make her own path. Kelly loves her voice but isn’t sure if she can do it but tells her to take a seat. It means that Kelly has to send someone already seated home. Kristine gets the boot.
Thank god Jeff Brinkman is up next. Dude gave a great first audition and he should get a seat. Demi thinks he choose the wrong song and Simon thinks the song was ridiculous but his voice is still amazing. Kelly keeps Jeff in and sends Victoria home.
Denny Smith is otherwise known as Santa Claus and at 68 is the oldest person in the competition. He got the crowd going and already seems to be a star. Paulina believes in Santa and Simon says he rocked the house. Kelly sent him home and the whole audience booed like crazy.
James Kenny strolls out and does a killer version of Lean On Me. He clearly just stole a seat. Demi says he killed it and Paulina can’t believe how solid he was. Simon loved it and James earned his respect. James replaces Jeff Brinkman as the crowd gasps.
