Hey, I'm mario lopez. Welcome to the x factor and the

Second night of our brand-new round, the four-chair challenge.

And last night, kelly went through an agonizing process

When she chose the final four over 25s: James kenney, Lillie

Mccloud, Jeff Gutt, and Rachel Potter.

Congratulations, guys. Demi saw the first four girls in

Her category, and she put 'em all in seats.

Here they are. Bree Randall, Khaya Cohen,

Jamie Pineda, and Ashly Williams.

Now, there are six more girls to

Sing tonight.

Only the four sitting in the

Chairs at the end of the show

Make it to the finals.

Demi, how are you feeling so far?

There's so much talent in the girls' category.

I'm having such a hard time.

Simon, what do you think About all this?

I'm loving this discomfort...

'cause I know what's coming.

well put. Next up, fighting for a spot

In demi's final four, from holbrook, new york, please

welcome simone Torres.

my name is simone torres.

I'm 19 years old.

I'm from long island, new york,

And a student at berklee college

Of music.

I've always been pretty nerdy and awkward, and I may not be as

Glamorous as some of the other girls in the competition, but

I love to perform, and that's where I really come into my own.

When I was nine, I started singing with my dad at weddings,

Restaurants, and it's hard to believe in yourself when you are

Singing at restaurants and only one person is listening to you,

So you start to doubt yourself and your ability, but this

Competition has really showed me that I do have something.

? mustang sally ? yeah

? why don't you be ? the artist

bravo! ? and make me out of clay?

oh! ? why don't you be

don't cry. ? the writer and decide

I've been performing at weddings, restaurants, and clubs

For ten years.

And now it's time for me to see

If I have what it takes to

Perform in front of america.

all right, guys, let's have

Some fun.

come on, simone!

? I was born by the river

? in ? in a little tent

? and, oh, just like a river

? I've been running ? running ever since

Put your hands together! Come on!

? it's been a long ? long time coming

? but a change is gonna come ? it's been a long

? long time coming ? but a change is gonna come

? ooh ? then I go to my brother

? and I say, brother ? help me please

? been a long ? long time coming

? it's been a ? been a long time coming

? but a change is gonna ? come

simone torres, I really like

It. I related to you because I

Started working when I was little.

Just the fact that you go and knock every door for the passion

Of music with your father, just, I relate to you.

simone, I wish I could have sat down with you a week ago,

And I wish I could have heard that song, because I would have

Said, "you're not doing that." the arrangement of the song was

A joke.

It was so bad, and it was so karaoke, and so sort of

Wedding-y. you still sang it, mama.

Don't get it twisted. You still sang the hell out of

The song. I feel torn, because I agree,

The song choice wasn't great. Yes, you have an incredible

Voice, but I don't know if I'm seeing a star.

oh, come on.

That's wrong, that's wrong. all right, demi.

All four seats are filled, and if you want to see simone go to

The live rounds, someone is having to go home, so what is

Your decision?

?

Is simone in or out? come on, demi.

simone...

? take a seat.

congratulations, simone.

Now, of course, uh, this

Means we have our very first

Switch of the night.

Demi, one of these four girls

Must now be switched out of her

Seat and out of the show.

Is it bree randall...

Khaya cohen...

Jamie pineda...

Or ashly williams?

Demi, who are you switching out?

I think my decision is going to have to be...

Bree randall.

congratulations. Take a seat.

?

One more time for bree randall, everyone.

Now, remember, whoer is in

Those four seats, once all the

Girls have sung, will be moving

On to the live shows.

Find out who's in, who's out,

And who's switched right after

The break.

- You just sang your face off. - I disagree.

It feels like everything you did was chosen by your mother.

I know I can do this! oh, my god, I really don't

Know what to do right now. demi, you need to listen to

Me! I'm sending you home.

welcome back to the x factor and the four-chair challenge.

Tonight, it's demi and the

Girls.

All four seats are filled, and

Five girls still left to perform.

No one is safe until all ten acts have sung.

Only the girls sitting in those four seats at the end of the

Show will stay in the competition.

Hoping for a place in demi's final four, here is 15-year-old

Danielle Geimer

? don't get me wrong

My name's Danielle Geimer.

I'm 15 years old, I'm in 11th

Grade, and I'm from northridge,

California.

I'm pretty shy and soft-spoken. My education is really important

To me. I would love to become a

Neurosurgeon, but that's my backup plan.

? of many a poor boy I definitely change when I'm

Onstage. I just feel like I can be

Myself. wow!

- I'm really impressed. - Danielle Geimer.

when they called my name, I was just so shocked, I didn't

Even know what to say. This is definitely the biggest

Performance of my life. I'm just the girl who sits

Alone, reading a book. People just walk by, tripping

Over my feet, and they're like, what did I trip over?

And now, they're gonna be like, oh, I tripped over a star.

? don't get me wrong

?

? georgia ? georgia

? the whole day through ? just an old sweet song

? keeps georgia ? on my mind

? other arms

whoo!

? other arms ? reach out to me

? other eyes ? smile tenderly

? still in peaceful dreams ? I see

? the road leads back to you ? oh, georgia

? oh, georgia

? no peace ? no peace I find

? oh, no, I find ? just this old sweet song

? keeps ? georgia

? on my mind ? just an old, sweet song

? keeps georgia ? on my mind

so...

Danielle, you just sang your face off, mama.

Demi, you girl, come on, now.

she need a seat. Somebody got to get up, honey.

life is always about timing, and you've come around at a time

Where you've got so many over-confident pop stars, and

You fly in the face of that. You're very humble, you're very

Shy...

Uh, and I hope you never change. I don't think you will.

danielle, I am absolutely

Blown away. I think you're so talented,

You're so beautiful, and you're right.

When they trip on you, they're already tripping on a star.
