The X Factor USA – The Four Chair Challenge #3 – Recap and Live Blog – 10/09/20138:02
-We get the preview of PauCharo sending someone home tonight with no remorse. #Bloop! You go girl. Demi and Paulina have already chosen their final four!THE BOYS
- PauCharo speaks Spanish and says she is ready to play some game. LOL.- He is a restaurant host. He is a bit shaky and his voice isn't too compelling to me. It's a dubstep version of "Call Me Maybe." I'm not really feeling it. Demi is either not impressed or is really into it. He doesn't have chops to me. Simon's smiling. I assume he is going to like this. Ugh.
- He is very obnoxious too. Kelly says the vocals were shaky but he mellowed it out and did good. She wants to see him here. Demi commends the energy but said it was too much at times and it was a little pitchy - but overall good. Simon says he isn't the best singer but likes his charisma and energy. Al doesn't need to go through - he'll get cut anyway.
- DECISION: PAUCHARO SAYS YES AND HE TAKES A SEAT- Was he fodder before!? I've never seen him. He's on my rooting for list. However, I know they aren't going to put he and Josh through to lives. I don't like his look tonight. Why is he dressed like Burnell Taylor.
- Wow he's not doing really good. Lawd. How did he get through. I've got to admire his stage presence and determination though. Kelly says he looks adorable and killed it at his first audition, but didn't enjoy the sweetest parts of the voice. Demi says he isn't ready. Simon says his falestto was good but the other didn't work. He is a trooper and taking it. WHY does PauCharo keep posing questions to them?
- DECISION: PAUCHARO SAYS NO AND HE GOES HOME.
- Dang, Isaiah. At least PauCharo is being the first judge to send one of the first two acts home. Ah. He's crying backstage with his mom now.- Was a football star but is now a bouncer with a passion for music. Not good. I remember why I don't like the boys category now. Its usually not filled with talent. Wow. His voice cracked. PauCharo did not do a good job choosing these guys.
- Kelly called it karaoke and said he felt uncomfortable. Simon thought he would deliver a lot more. PauCharo hoarsely says she agrees. "I agree with my people here."
- DECISION: PAUCHARO SAYS NO AND HE GOES HOME.- Music is his medicine for Tourette's syndrome. He sings "Ain't No Sunshine." He sounds like Adele compared to everyone else's Carly Rae Jepsen.
- Kelly loved the way he got lost in the music! She says he nailed it! PauCharo hoarsely says some stuff I didn't get. Carlos talks about how hard he's worked and doesn't want to be a sob story, but an inspiration. Go Carlos!
- DECISION: PAUCHARO SAYS YES AND HE TAKES A SEAT.- Didn't know he wanted to be a pop star until he went to a One Direction concert. He's obsessed with One Direction. Slightly weird, but I'm sleep. He's not crazy good but I'd definitely but him over 100 times over Al Calderon. Actually, his tone is really good!
- Kelly likes the tone and wasn't expecting the runs! Demi says it was so much better than his first audition & he killed it! Simon says he needs to work on being robotic, but there is a market for him - but he needs a little bit of swag. Actually there is Justin Bieber, Cody Simpson, and Austin Mahone. But they are now older so he could be like Bieber when he came out.
- PauCharo says something about a male Taylor Swift.
- DECISION: PAUCHARO: "PLEASE TAKE A SIT."- He sings "Airplanes." It's not really strong at all. I'm throwing him in the category with Al Calderon. Simon looks intrigued and Stone Martin is scared in his seat (DON'T SEND HOME STONE). Demi looks like she doesn't feel it.
- Demi says it was unnatural. Simon asks why he chose it and he says he likes it and it had a cool meaning. Simon says they like him but wishes they never heard it and could go back to the first audition. PauCharo, of course, brings that up too.
- DECISION: PAUCHARO: "TAKE A SIT."
- WHAT THE HECK PAUCHARO!!!!!!?!? Like really..... I'm just ready for Josh Levi to come out and murk the competition.- He just graduated form college! Aw his parents are so proud that he is living his dream! He says he cant let nerves get in the way.
- He sings "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus. How ironic! He's soaring. Carlos is looking nervous. Kelly already hears his voice on the radio and says he had a wonderful moment. Demi is nervous for PauCharo because she can't see TIm being let go! Simon asks who he looks up to John Legend and Ed Sheeran and Simon doesn't get it. PauCharo said something hoarsely and people started booing.
- DECISION: PAUCHARO: " *inaudible*....sit" ; SHE SENDS HOME STONE MARTIN.
- WHAT THE HECK PAUCHARO!!!!!!!!! Apparently that wasn't even the big decision everyone was freaking out about. Stone is really torn up about not getting through. He's crying and says maybe he'll try again next year.- Old school Pitbull music in the background. Well not old school but like 4 years ago. LOL. He has a crush on Paulina. Is that a thing?
- He is singing "Dreaming of You" by Selena. Wow. This song makes me so sad :( The audience is loving it. He breaks out in Spanish and PauCharo looks like she's about to bite the air. Kelly loves that he is so humble but says it go the best of him. Simon asks why he chose the song and he says he's Latino and he's close to his heart & family. Simon says he struggled a bit but there is great potential. PauCharo loves the attitude. He speaks in Spanish and begs for a chance to help his family - there is no Latino in the market right now!
- DECISION: PAUCHARO SAYS YES AND HE TAKES A 'SIT' ; SHE SENDS HOME CHASE GOEHRING.
- Welp. Of course he shouldn't have went through. Just a victim of making drama.- The youngest one at 13. Aw. Sob story with his mom. He has a decent voice. I swear I don't see how he's 13. He's got to be turning 14 ASAP.
- Kelly liked the audition better. Demi says he is cute and has charisma but was not blown away. Simon says he would remember him and it would be a shame for him to leave. PauCharo calls him a little Michael Jackson. Simon says he is the one! Timmy says he can make a change in the competition.
- DECISION: PAUCHARO SAYS: "YOU AH IN MAH FINA FOUH!" ; SHE SENDS HOME TIM OLSTAD.
- WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK PAUCHARO. Audience is booing her terribly. PauCharo looks pretty pleased with herself. Please let Josh knock Al Calderon out.
- We see what is going to happen after the break and I don't know why I reacted so soon. A very predictable scenario is about to go down. LOL.9:16
- PauCharo calls "timeout." LOL. She doesn't care the audience is booing but care's about how she feels (that sounds so narcissistic). She wants Tim back on stage. Poor Tim was probably about to have a panic attack - just because of this stunt.- DECISION: PAUCHARO PUTS TIM OLSTAD IN ; SHE SENDS HOME AL CALDERON.
- Yes. Finally. Woah. Whose seat is Josh taking then?- His Grandma is his biggest fan! He is nervous about performing in front of Paulina since she wasn't at his audition. Josh is doing a hip-hop version of "I Can't Make You Love Me." He's doing good but it's definitely not his better performance.
- His star quality is absolutely undeniable. The judges love it and PauCharo calls it "purrrrfect."
- DECISION: PAUCHARO: "YOU AH IN MY FINAL FOURH" ; SHE SENDS HOME TIMMY THAMES!
PAULINA'S FINAL FOUR ARE: Carlito Rivera, Carlos Guevera, Josh Levi & Tim Olstad!
GROUPS
- There are singing "Yeah 3x" by Chris Brown. These arrangements. They are singing it pretty well though. Kelly likes that they are harmonizing now! She says she can tell the want it bad. Demi says it was on the young side, but she liked it! Simon likes says it was well-rehearsed but has heard better vocally. But he says they are very commercial - to which Demi agrees.
- DECISION: SIMON SAYS YES AND GIRLS UNITED GET A SEAT!
- The want to run LA like Jay-Z runs New York. Woah they are annoying. They want to be off unemployment....wow.
- One of them is crawling on the floor during a strange rendition of "Party Rock Anthem." I have no comments. Kelly says they all the way turnt up. LOL. Simon calls it unintentional comedy. Simon says if he has a three year old (references his upcoming child) they would turn out like them. They want to be entertainers!
- DECISION: SIMON SAYS YES AND GIVES THEM A SEAT!
- They are young! I hope they go up there and show up and show out! I suspect they won't though. They sing the "Cups" song from Pitch Perfect. They are performing like a 70s girl group. Girls Aloud is giving them glaring looks.
- The vocals aren't too strong this time around but they are serving with the choreo! Kelly says she is proud but wishes it was tighter. Demi likes them but doesn't know if they are ready. Simon agrees with Demi but says he is struggling because the first audition was so good. Simon says he will think about their first audition.
- DECISION: SIMON SAYS YES AND GIVES THEM A SEAT
RESTLESS ROAD is up next
- The first manufactured group! "A country man band." They are gettin' down singing and Kelly is up dancing. She ain't twerking though.
- Kelly is wowed and says they are an incredible country trio. She says it was a brilliant idea. PauCharo "completely loved the three." The three very different vocals blended well. Demi is excited and got chills!
- DECISION: SIMON SAYS YES AND RESTLESS ROAD GETS A SEAT.
That's it for tonight! Another #PauCharoWednesday is over. Thanks for reading, and for your awesome commentary! Chat with Nick on the live blog tomorrow!
