THE X FACTOR live shows continue on a special night on Sunday, Nov. 4 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) with additional performances and the announcement of the Season Two finalists.
THE TOP 16 ACTS ARE:
Teens (16 and under) whom Britney Spears is mentoring:
“I had a really tough time picking my final four – all of my kids were incredibly talented,” said Spears. “But I do believe I have the winner, so watch out Simon! You and your groups are going down! My Teens and I have some surprises in store for you.”
