On last night’s performance episode of The X Factor, we were wow’ed by some performances and others, well — not so much. In case you’ve missed last night’s show, you can read our recap of what went down here.

Here’s a brief run-down on who did what:

Stacy Francis – Whitney Houston’s Queen of the Night – VIDEO
Marcus Canty – Rose Royce’s I’m Going Down – VIDEO
Drew Ryniewicz – Coldplay’s Fix You – VIDEO
LeRoy Bell – U2′s I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For – VIDEO
Lakoda Rayne – Keith Urban’s I Wanna Love Somebody Like You – VIDEO
Astro – Eminem’s Lose Yourself – VIDEO
Melanie Amaro – Michael Jackson’s Man In The Mirror – VIDEO
The Stereo Hogzz – Christina Aguilera’s Ain’t No Other Man – VIDEO
Josh Krajcik – The Beatles’ With A Little Help From My Friends – VIDEO
Chris Rene – Coolio’s Gangsta’s Paradise – VIDEO
Rachel Crow – Etta James’ I’d Rather Go Blind – VIDEO

We will go as far as predicting that, given their performances last night, Rachel Crow and Astro are safe.

On tonight’s elimination episode, we will see Willow Smith and Jessie J take the stage to perform. Willow will be performing Fireball, while Jessie will be performing Domino.

The top 10 acts will be revealed! Are you excited? Who are you rooting for? TELL US!

The top eleven are performing their opening medley! They are totally rocking it! To start off, L.A. Reid apologized to Melanie for his comments from last night and said he was jealous.

Willow Smith is taking the stage to perform her song Fireball! We’re whipping our hair back and forth, as we speak. After that flawless performance, Jessie J is performing Domino. What a hip performance!

Results time! Going through to next week’s show are, in no particular order:

Stacy Francis
Astro
Melanie Amaro
Marcus Canty
LeRoy Bell
Rachel Crow
Josh Krajcik
Drew Ryniewicz
Chris Rene

At risk are The Stereo Hogzz and Lakoda Rayne, so they are going to have to sing for their supper! Lakoda Rayne took to the stage to sing first, singing No Air. After they put on a spectacular performance, The Stereo Hogzz took to the stage and did You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson. Will their performance be good enough to save them twice in a row?

L.A. Reid voted to send The Stereo Hogzz home. Nicole Scherzinger voted to send The Stereo Hogzz home. Paula Abdul said she wasn’t going to vote. (See the video of Paula getting emotional here.) Then, she voted, crying, to send Lakoda Rayne to go home. Simon Cowell said he’s voting to send The Stereo Hogzz home.

Stereo Hoggz have been eliminated! What do you think of tonight’s elimination? Was the right act eliminated? Take our poll!
