The X Factor (US)

X Factor finalist CeCe Frey might have the strongest personality, but judges are still unsure about CeCe’s look and sound. Last week, after struggling through "Eye of the Tiger," CeCe’s mentor Demi Lovato said, "I don’t know if CeCe knows who she is." This week, at the November 12, 2012 finalists party in Los Angeles, Wetpaint Entertainment spoke exclusively to CeCe about how she’s dealing with the pressure — and if, contrary to what Demi... //feeds.wetpaint.com/~r/wetpaint/latest/excerpt/~3/SZL6s-imcPA/x-factor-finalist-cece-frey-im-just-a-farm-girl-trying-to-make-it-in-music-exclusive

In the second live results show of the season, "The X Factor" made the bold move of unveiling exactly how every single one of the Top 13 acts placed in audience voting. And there were definitely some surprises in the mix.L.A. Reid's "over 25" group scored two of the top three spots thanks to darkhorse-turned-frontrunners country dad Tate Stevens and soulful Vino Alan. And teen sensation Carly Rose Sonenclar, mentored by Britney Spears, cemented her early favorite status by coming in second. But Simon Cowell's boy band and heartthrob hopefuls Emblem3 placed a middling sixth. Demi Lovato's three acts in the "young adults" category managed seventh (Jennel Garcia), eighth (Paige Thomas) and twelfth (CeCe Frey).

We are mid-decompression from the incredibly stressful live results X Factor show. One Direction is soothing us via the cardboard cut-out that's currently cutting up our arms while we hug it. But nothing could have prepared us for this. CeCe Frey ended up on the bottom thanks to some sub-par song choices and performances, but it was ultimately Jason Brock who went home in the end. Relive the drama... glass of wine in hand suggested.  Want more X Factor goodness?... //feeds.wetpaint.com/~r/wetpaint/latest/excerpt/~3/f538ok1LkDY/watch-all-the-performances-from-the-x-factor-live-results-show-november-8-2012

It was a star-studded night on  The X Factor  Thursday, with viewer votes deciding which contestant would be sent home from the Top 13. So, who got the boot? And who was shockingly named the show's frontrunner? //www.tvguide.com/News/XFactor-Top12-1055753.aspx?rss=breakingnews

Jason Brock and CeCe Frey ended up in the bottom 2 on The X Factor live results show on November 8, 2012, which was approximately 50% shocking to us. We figured that after Jason’s so-so showings the past couple weeks, he would have to really bring it to make it. If you had asked us after the auditions and boot camp, we would have put all our money on CeCe to win it all. But since the live shows began, she hasn’t really shined. Her song choices have been so-so and her vocals have... //feeds.wetpaint.com/~r/wetpaint/latest/excerpt/~3/tEmhMvMauyU/x-factor-2012-results-jason-brock-gets-cut-cece-frey-moves-into-the-top-12

X Factor Season 2 finalist CeCe Frey is a talented and stylish powerhouse, proving to be a formidable opponent to older and more seasoned contestants. But, after her performance on November 7, 2012, the judges are wary of CeCe’s consistent vocal ability. Speaking exclusively with Wetpaint Entertainment directly after the episode, CeCe revealed that she hasn’t been as honest with Demi as she should be. Here’s what Queen CeCe herself had to say to us on the night of that... //feeds.wetpaint.com/~r/wetpaint/latest/excerpt/~3/xgW35awr9DE/x-factor-finalist-cece-frey-on-being-a-diva-bad-song-choices-and-demi-lovato-exclusive
