This episode was FULL of surprises. I almost think it was rigged. It probably is. The top 12 line up and one act is eliminated right away: Lyric 145. I was slightly taken aback, and I'll miss them because they were the only ones that took risks. The acts are all called one by one until only two remain, and everyone is in shock when Cece's name is called as safe, and in even greater shock when the bottom 2 are Paige and Jennel. Yep, you heard right, PAIGE & JENNEL. What is this?
Jennel sings first, and picks a song that is totally not suited for her. I don't know why she picked that song, because Jennel is my prediction to win and the odds aren't looking too good on my side, especially after that performance. Paige sings, and it's way better than Jennel's performance. The judges are now voting, but this is a little different since both of these acts are mentored by Demi. Demi gets to go last, that way if all 3 judges decide on the same person, she won't have to vote at all.
Britney and LA both send home Jennel. It is now Simon's turn, but since it's Simon's show and he makes the rules, he decides it's Demi's turn. Now let me just say that this is AWFUL for Demi, and Simon is such a jerk, but I think we already knew that anyway. Seriously though, it's like asking a parent which child they like best. So poor Demi doesn't want to be the one to send her own act home, so she sends home Paige, knowing that Simon will make the final decision of eliminating Jennel. Now this has to be somewhat awkward, because Demi is now mentoring Paige, who she just voted off. I get her logic though, but I'm not sure it was the best one.
Demi hugs Jennel, who is crying, and then Demi starts crying, and it's a mess. This I believe is the 4th time we see Demi cry, but I don't blame her because the first was at Jillian's audition (the girl who was bullied), the second was at boot camp where she felt bad for crushing hundreds of dreams, and the third was when she told Jillian she wasn't through to the live shows.
The contestants all come back out for the rankings, which are as follows:
1. Tate Stevens (Not surprised, only because he was first last week)
2. Carly Rose Sonenclar (Same goes for her, also great performance on a great song)
3. Vino Alan (I really do like him now. Go Vino!)
4. Emblem 3 (They really shouldn't be up here. They performed a Beatles song on diva week.)
5. Cece Frey (I. Am. Speechless. How is that even possible? Nevertheless, I am thrilled for Cece!)
6. Fifth Harmony (About where I expected them)
7. Diamond White (People are delusional. She should be in first. Team Diamond!)
8. Beatrice Miller (Why is this kid still here?)
9. Arin Ray (He got luck too.)
10. Paige Thomas (She deserves to be higher.)
