‘The X Factor’ USA: Jennel Garcia, CeCe Frey, Lyric Da Queen campaign

Following the excellent top 12 performance show on “The X Factor” USA Wednesday night, now is the time that matters most for some of the contestants: the campaign to stay alive for a few more weeks. With that in mind, we’s assembled a group of reactions to help you know just what some of these singers are thinking and feeling, whether it be the standout acts of the night (Lyric 145), or the ones who struggled when it came to criticism from the judges (Jason Brock, CeCe Frey).

All of these comments are coming in via Twitter, so read on, enjoy.
