Arin R 400x306 The X Factor Trey & Nicks Reflection Top 16

Via HaveYouHeard

Check the reflections here:
Our Sing-Off Prediction: Beatrice Miller vs. Arin Ray
Elimination Prediction: Arin
Actual Sing-Off: Diamond White vs Arin
Eliminated: Diamond

Sad about Diamond leaving, but we do understand where Britney was coming from. At this point in their career, Arin has a better chance to be more commercially successful and as it is now, is the one of the two with “The X Factor.” Undoubtedly Diamond won the sing off, and is the better singer. Hopefully she does not give up and we see her in a few more years. White was also a class act last night, cheerful and optimistic after the results. Ray, on the other hand, came off as arrogant and cocky from the moment Khloe said he would be singing for his life. Even when they were about to deliver results, Diamond reached for his hand, and he insincerely took it, while still holding his hand in his pocket. On Twitter last night, Ray was also retweeting everyone who wanted to see him go home. He’s getting a bit full of himself. Hopefully Arin doesn’t turn into a Marcus Canty figure.

Our Sing-Off Prediction: Vino Alan vs Jason Brock
Elimination Prediction: Jason
Actual Sing-Off: David Correy vs Jason
Eliminated: David

We had David Correy ranked high because he was just that good last night. His vocals were good. However, L.A. somehow is pulling for Jason Brock, and unfortunately David was the casualty of that.

Our Sing-Off Prediction: CeCe Frey vs Willie Jones
Elimination Prediction: Willie (Nick), CeCe (Trey)
Actual Sing-Off: CeCe vs Willie
Eliminated: Willie

I had CeCe taking the boot and Nick had Willie. However, I was sold with Willie leaving once Faux Ke$ha delivered that performance. It was clear that she would be the one staying, no matter how good Willie did. Honestly Willie was there for his uniqueness, and it just wasn’t enough. Demi didn’t should have just turned him into Faux Daruis Rucker to complete her collection of Fauxs.

Our Sing-Off Prediction: Lyric 145 vs Sister C
Elimination Predictiion: SisterC
Actual Sing Off: The group formerly known as 1432 and LYLAS vs Sister C
Eliminated: Sister C

The groups were also not that much of a surprise. Instead of opting to have Lyric 145 be but on the spot, Simon wanted to show that his formed girl group formerly known as 1432 & LYLAS were the same group that wowed America at Judges’ Homes. Sister C was salty that they didn’t make it, and actually came off as mean girls this time. They just have to stop trying to have a country girl group. Maybe next year, a combo country group with two girls and two guys. Now THAT would be appealing.

Why is nobody talking about how staggeringly horrible the hosts were?

I was a little shock about David going home but now I'm not since X-Factor invested more into Vino in the beginning. Vino still scares me and I would love for him to just go home. As for Brock he is the joke act that every X-Factor show needs. Simon likes his joke acts. So happy that Willie got the boot, he was so FAKE to me. Arin could go next, can't stand him either. Diamond was much better but she wasn't going to surpass Beatrice or Carly Rose so why not let her go sooner.

As for Lyric 145, I really HOPE that Simon STFU and let them do their thing next week. Plus CeCe needs to be a brunette again, can't stand the blonde hair on her. They are trying tooooooooo hard with her, same with Paige. Overall the result show was a lot more fun to watch than the performance show. :)

Still can't make any sense of David's elimination. Country guy is boring, Vino is decent, Brock is gimmicky and didn't sing very well in his elimination song or whatever. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

@ddevlin1 AMEN.

I have no idea what kind of pills LA must have been on that would make him so deliriously wrong in his choices. That Vino didn't even have to sing for his life was absurd. Almost as absurd as LA's decision to give him a Nickelback song for Made In America week.
