The X Factor USA aired another live performance show of the second season tonight December 12, 2012. Each Top 4 finalist performed two songs. If you missed any of tonight’s show, click here for a full recap and all performance videos!

This is how Emblem3 did in the semi-finals:

First song: “Baby I Love Your Way” by Peter Frampton
Judges’ comments: LA said after wondering all season when the boys would have their five-million-dollar moment, he thought this performance was it. Britney said there was something “really special” about the performance. She added that it’s “unfair” to call Emblem3 a boy band because they’re way more than that. Demi loved them because they sang and moved and thought it was the first time since their first audition that their performance felt true to who they are. Simon agreed with Demi for a change and said their performance was reminiscent of their first audition. He said if that performance doesn’t get them into the finals, nothing will.

Second song: Hey Jude by The Beatles
Judges’ comments: LA thought he’d hate this performance but ended up thinking they did a great job. He said Emblem 3 are teen heartthrobs like The Beatles were. Britney told the boys to take a bow because it was an A-level performance. Demi didn’t think they are yet at The Beatles’ level, but does think that they are filled with huge potential. Simon said they “nailed” both of their performances tonight.
