The X Factor 2013 Season 3 - Week 3 Episode 6 Replay Video and Recap: Top 40 Girls, Boys, Over 25 and Groups List!
It's the last night of auditions for season 3 of The X Factor USA, and the also the night when all talents will be narrowed down to the final four groups. Did your favorite make it into the next round? Read on to find out.
Just three weeks into the season and the Fox reality singing competition is finally down to its last audition night. Tonight, several auditioners were able to squeeze into the final set of talents, before the four judges decide who will finally make it past the auditions and into top 10 finalists per category.
Here were some of the notable auditions tonight.
Seems like we haven't seen much group forces in this season's auditions. Aside from AKNU, and a few other (probably forgettable) team-ups, there weren't much to this year's group auditioners. While we all know that Simon could whip up a future powerhouse group in no time (hello? One Direction), one audition could be in for the killing - Glamour. The teen group looked and sounded good, but the odd song choice (Yep! They sang the National Anthem) was a little off. Nonetheless, the tweens received "Yeses" and are through to the next round.
41-year-old Victoria Carriger was also able to wow the judges. The unconfident Over 25-hopeful sang an emotional rendition of Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You" that made her got her all 4 "Yeses", but not before Simon Cowell called her performance "extraordinary."
Keith Beukelaer, who, according to Hollywood Life, auditioned in the second season of American Idol, managed to get through the next round even with a rather dismal performance (my opinion). Singing "Baby Got Back", the 29-year-old received enough "Yeses" to get through.
