I’m sooo excited about the result of the first live show of X-factor USA 2011! The acts all got to perform, but of the 17, 5 of them were sent home. 3 from each category remains and the top 12 move on to perform again next week. I almost get it right! Following the performance, judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, LA Reid and Nicole Scherzinger were each required to eliminate one of his or her four acts from the competition and move ahead with only three. The contestants really give the judges the hard time. Here are the final 12!
