The X Factor season 2 country crooner Tate Stevens of Team L. A. Reid has been riding high in the pack for weeks. Although he lost the top spot in the voter rankings to Carly Rose Sonenclar of Team Britney Spears last week, it is obvious Tate Steven remains a strong contender to be The X Factor USA winner for season 2. Let’s face it, Americans love cowboys, sweet guys who love their wives and country music. Tate Stevens is the total package to rake in the votes from the non-Tweens and anyone south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

The X Factor season 2 has already given Diamond White more second chances than any of the other contestants this season. Diamond White was actually eliminated by her team coach Britney Spears earlier in the season, which probably boosted her confidence in the competition wonderfully (NOT). Luckily for Diamond White, she was brought back after outraged fans would not shut up about her being cut unfairly. Unfortunately, however, she did not manage to keep those same fans voting enough last week to prevent her from dropping into the bottom two and almost going home. The judges once again gave her another chance though and sent Vino Alan of Team L. A. Reid packing instead.

The X Factor season 2 all girls group Fifth Harmony was created by Simon Cowell from previously eliminated hopefuls early on in the season. Since then, they have had their ups and downs and so far failed to connect solidly with the voters. While they have managed to keep going from week to week, this round might just be the last for Fifth Harmony if they don’t manage to pull something huge in the live performances tonight. If any song might save them from being eliminated, it might just be this one from top 6 live performance show Wednesday night.

The X Factor season 2 breakout star is without a doubt (in my opinion) the young powerhouse vocalist Carly Rose Sonenclar of Team Britney Spears. This amazing girl who is barely a teenager has consistently blown the competition away just about every single week on the show. Honestly, at this point on The X Factor USA, it is really hers to lose. Of course, America does love a cowboy and country boy Tate Stevens is hot on her heels in the number two spot right now. Even so, I personally would be shocked to see Carly Rose Sonenclar lose The X Factor 2012 season 2 to anyone right now.

The X Factor season 2 boy band Emblem3 could end up being judge/coach Simon Cowell’s last, best hope for winning this season. His other group act, Fifth Harmony, has not been doing a great job of impressing the voters the past few weeks. There is a strong chance Fifth Harmony will not make it to the finals. If Simon Cowell is going to take any of his acts to The X Factor USA finale for season 2, it will probably be Emblem3.

The X Factor season 2 contestant in the top 6 who may be most predicted to be leaving this week is CeCe Frey of Team Demi Lovato. Even her fans seemed surprised last week when CeCe Frey not only was not eliminated, but managed to not even be in the bottom two sing-off. Instead, it was Vino Alan of Team L. A. Reid and Paige Thomas of Team Demi who ended up going home. While it seems it would take a miracle to save CeCe Frey from going home on The X Factor USA results show tomorrow night, she has already managed to survive several times before when she seemed certain to be cut.

The X Factor 2012 season 2 strangely feels like it just began a few, short weeks ago. Alas, this season is, in fact, nearly over already! The X Factor season 2 finale is just a couple of weeks away and we’re already down to just 6 singers left. Who will prove to the voters that they deserve to stay tonight? Ride along with us for our live The X Factor recap of the top 6 performance show and let’s find out!

The X Factor season 2 contestants are dropping like flies as two more talented singers go home tonight. The X Factor results show is always painful to watch, but it gets worse every week as we race toward the finale just three weeks away. One of he big questions tonight is whether or not underdog Paige Thomas managed to save herself last week with an unorthodox and highly entertaining performance. Coach Demi Lovato sure hopes so, or she could end up losing all of her remaining team members this week. If you’ve just managed to rickroll millions of viewers and entertain them at the same time, don’t you deserve the chance to make it to the next round? Join us here for our live The X Factor USA recap of the top 8 results show and find out with us who got voted off X Factor 2012 season 2 this week!
