X Factor 3 – Meet The Top 16 – Plus Details of What’s to Come

The X Factor 3 Top 16 has been revealed! Here’s a guide to all 16 acts, plus a look at what’s to come. There is no X Factor scheduled for the next two weeks as post-season baseball heats up on FOX.  The first live show is next, airing on Tuesday, October 29, competing directly with The Voice on NBC at 8/7c pm.

The first live show is billed as a “training camp,” which is a handy way to explain the two week hiatus. They’re in training yo. Getting ready for the big day.  Sixteen acts will perform live for the panel. At the end of the show, one act from each of the categories will be eliminated by their mentor.

A “Meet the Top 12” show will air next, on Thursday, October 31. X Factor will go back to it’s regular schedule on November 6 as The Top 12 voting rounds kick off.

Hopefully, baseball won’t mess with the schedule. This year, FOX decided to preempt the show during the baseball series. The first two seasons saw live shows being delayed or re-scheduled all together. If the “Meet the Top 12,” a throwaway episode, is bumped on the 31, it will be no biggie. The only danger is X Factor losing even more momentum after it’s been off the air for a bit.

Check out the details and a guide with social media links and more.

While THE X FACTOR takes a break, due to the MLB playoff games and the World Series, the Top 16 are off to a training camp of their own, where they will determine their song choices, work with stylists and go through intense rehearsals to ensure that they are in fighting form for their first live performances of the season.
