‘The X Factor’ : Final 6 Acts Revealed After Shocking Elimination

Was the right acts eliminated this week? Drop a comment with your thoughts on the shocking results.

And then there were six! The X Factor said goodbye to two more acts on the Nov. 28 episode of the Fox hit competition show, making this a less-than-happy Thanksgiving for two contestants. Following a powerful performance by Demi Lovato, this season’s final six acts were officially revealed.

Josh Levi & Lillie McCloud Eliminated From ‘The X Factor’

Yes, you read that right. After a nail-biting sing-off between Josh Levi and fellow last-placer Rion Paige – which ended in a tie, as if things couldn’t get any more dramatic — America chose to send Josh home. Earlier in the night votes made it aware to all that Lillie McCloud was also on the chopping block. Two great contestants who left to early, but that is definitely the nature of the beast!

It seems his last-ditch performance of Bruno Mars‘ “When I Was Your Man” just couldn’t compete with Rion’s rendition of Pink‘s “Perfect.”

Adding to the tragedy, HollywoodLife.com spoke with Josh on Nov. 27, and he told us it would be “the best Thanksgiving ever” if Simon Cowell pardoned all eight contestants for the holiday.

Sadly, especially for Josh & Lillie, Simon wasn’t so generous.

Demi Lovato Performs ‘Neon Lights’

Fortunately, the episode wasn’t totally dominated by tears and goodbyes. The bright spot of the night came from Demi Lovato, whose performance of her new single proved she has the “X factor” herself.

Dressed in a sexy-yet-classy ensemble, the judge took the stage for a killer live performance of “Neon Lights.”

One Direction Boys Performs ‘Story Of My Life’ On ‘The X Factor’

Watch 1D’s emotional performance of its latest single, then weigh in with your review.

The boys of One Direction came home Nov. 21, as they performed “Story Of My Life” on The X Factor, the very franchise that first spawned them three years ago. The performance was technically recorded on Nov. 20, then aired during the live results show, but that didn’t make their electrifying rendition of any less memorable.

All five Directioners – Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne – were in rare form, crooning the emotional lyrics over the hordes of screaming fangirls. 1D’s performance was the perfect addition to The X Factor‘s live-yet-lifeless results show, giving it a much-needed boost of energy.

Harry Styles’ Big Date With Kendall Jenner

Of course, One Direction’s performance didn’t get nearly as much as attention as its frontman’s post-show rendezvous. Harry, 19, was spotted grabbing dinner with none other than Kendall Jenner, 18, at Craig’s in West Hollywood. The dinner was reportedly of a romantic nature, and eyewitnesses saw the duo sneaking out a back entrance into Harry’s SUV.

A source close to Kendall confirmed to an online tabloide that this was, in fact, Harry’s first date with the reality TV princess — and we can’t help but wonder if a second date is in the cards.
