Last week on X Factor 2012 we said goodbye to CeCe Frey and Diamond White. The two eliminated acts stopped for their exit interviews and discussed their experience on the show and what happens next.

CeCe, who was eliminated first as the person with the least amount of votes, remains hopeful about her future.

“Obviously it sucks to go home, but this is far from the end of my career,” CeCe says. “I’m very excited for what comes next.”

CeCe received the most harsh criticism from the judges throughout the season, and I often thought that was part of the narrative they were working up for her. Her remark on that makes me think I was right.

“I’ve always gotten harsh critiques from simon and LA,” CeCe says. “I don’t always agree with them but I thank them for making me such a polarizing character. I’m happy that I have had such an impact.”

Mmmhmm. I thought so.

Diamond seems just as happy as she always is, despite being the person technically eliminated at the judges’ hands.

“I wanted to win. But my second goal was getting to top 5 or top 6. I did that, so that’s a good sign,” Diamond says. There’s only one winner. I’m just glad I’m one of those people that got to the top 5.”

Find out what else CeCe and Diamond had to say in their videos below. Be sure to check back here on Wednesday night for live coverage of the Top 4 performances. Also, stay tuned for any news and updates from what’s going on with the X Factor 2012 this week.

Tonight the X Factor 2012 Top 6 will become the Top 4 as two more acts are sent packing based mostly on America’s votes. The act with the lowest votes will head home right away while the two acts the send and third least amount of votes will go head to head in a sing-off. The judges will then vote on who stays and who goes.

Also tonight, X Factor Season 1 winner Melanie Amaro returns to the stage to perform. Ke$ha is also set to perform during the one-hour results show.

So which of the Top 6 — Emblem 3, Fifth Harmony, Diamond White, Carly Rose Sonenclar, Tate Stevens, and CeCe Frey — will come out on top and which two will go home? We’ll know later tonight, but that won’t stop us from speculating now.

Based only on our poll from last night, you guys are confident that Carly and Tate will be 100 percent safe. The person most at risk of going home based on the poll is actually Emblem 3 with CeCe, Diamond and Fifth Harmony close behind. Since those four so close, it’s hard to say. But just based on the past and my own expertise, I’ll say that CeCe goes home with the least amount of votes while Diamond and Fifth Harmony sing off for the chance to stay. I think Fifth Harmony will be safe, despite this poll.

What do you think will happen tonight? Be sure to check back for the live results and later for the full recap of The X Factor 2012 results show.

Tonight on X Factor 2012, the Top 10 takes to the stage to perform songs of inspiration in honor of Thanksgiving week.

So get ready for a lot of ballads and boring songs. I kid, I kid. I mean there will be a lot of ballads, but whether or not they’ll be boring will be up in the air. I do hope Demi and Paige FINALLY tone things down after Paige’s near-eilimination next week. It’s time to cut out the ridiculous costumes and production and just have the girl sing. Just once. PLEASE.

The X Factor 2012 Top 10: Teens – Beatrice Miller, Arin Ray, Carly Rose Sonenclar and Diamond White; Young Adults – CeCe Frey and Paige Thomas; Over 25s – Vino Alan and Tate Stevens; and Groups – Emblem3 and Fifth Harmony.

Be sure to check back in later for live coverage of the X Factor 2012 Top 10 performances and a little later for the full recap of the show. And tomorrow night — yes, on Thanksgiving — the live results show will cut the acts down to the Top 8. Or maybe it’s the Top 9. You never know with Fox. They do what they want, when you want.

It’s Thanksgiving Week so that means the X Factor 2012 contestants will be giving thanks in the form of song.

Yes, the X Factor Top 10 will be singing inspirational songs that represent gratitude and thanks. So we can expect a lot of ballads (and surely some weird and annoying mash-ups produced by Simon Cowell).

And while the actual songs are still hush-hush, some of the contestants have teased what they’ll be doing this week.

“It’s all about inspiration and gratitude. It’s a really beautiful piece. It’s amazing,” says Drew Chadwick of Emblem 3.

Diamond White says she’s taking a similar route with this week’s theme.

“It’s going to be a very emotional week for me because there is a lot that I’m giving in the performance and a lot that I’m telling about my family, things I’ve never talked about before because it’s kinda been hard for me to talk about,” Diamond said. “This week is pretty much ballad week. Mine’s by an amazing diva.”

Not all the singers are going for a super slow song, it seems.

“I’m gonna fake you out a little bit. It’s gonna be kinda of slow but it may or may not get fast in the end,” Beatrice Miller said. “I’m not comfortable singing slow songs every week. It’s not my style. I’d rather sing like pumped up songs, but when you’re giving thanks to someone really important to you, it’s really difficult to find a fast song that’s gonna be able to give meaning to that. So, we’ll see. We’ll see.”

And on Thursday (no X Factor is not taking Thanksgiving off), we’ll find out who stays and who goes in this week’s results show. Also, British teen sensation Cher Lloyd will perform.

We’ll be here Wednesday and Thursday for all of your X Factor coverage.
