X Factor US 3: Top 12 Results Show

Wow. With this kind of result, I wouldn't be surprised if Tim Olstad end up winning this whole thing and watch as Simon's biggest nightmare unfolds in front of him. Look, I never warmed up to the two eliminated acts, but they certainly weren't the worst act yesterday. I guess, I shouldn't expect much from a trainwreck season of X Factor no? Also, why was Demi Lovato so rude to Mario Lopez? Geez.

Oh, Selena Gomez and Fifth Harmony performed, and yes, I'm just putting it out there.

Results after the jump!

SING FOR SURVIVAL

Khaya Cohen

Don't Give Up On Me

Look, her vocals weren't perfect as her voice slightly cracked in the middle of her performance, but that didn't hurt the overall impact of it. There was just raw passion in her delivery, her tone worked well with the song, and the vocal choices she made were quite nice. 

Rachel Potter

From This Moment

Poor Rachel. She didn't deserve to be in this sing-off, and it's such a shame because she was outsung by Khaya. I felt like Rachel was holding back on this performance - like she gave up or something - and her vocals were mostly uneven. Sigh.
