Carly definitely should’ve won, hands down. Like many people before me have said, Tate is great, but he really doesn’t bring anything new to the country music scene. As for CeCe, she is a sweetheart and I definitely voted for her because of that, but who are you kidding…it wouldn’t have mattered who her mentor was. No one ever stood a chance to win this competition outside of Carly and Tate. They were 1 and 2 from the very beginning.

X factor USA is a train wreck with a ken doll presenter,
X factor UK is so much better

Congratulations to Tate even though I think Carly Rose should have won based on ability and potential. People are speculating on the effect that LeAnn Rimes may have had on Carly’s chances, but I think that was minimal and Tate won simply because the country voting bloc is so large and was fully behind Tate. Hopefully Carly will get signed by a major label and in time will blossom into a star. She certainly deserves that chance.

Carly Rose Sonenclar should’ve won, she is more talented and i believe she can sell records more than Tate.

CeCe would’ve had a great chance at winning if she didn’t have Demi as a mentor. Demi screwed all her acts over.

CeCe should’ve won. She was the star of the show! And for the top 3 i think the best was fifth harmony. I really hope Simon signs them. They have such amazing voices and deserve to have a record deal!! I like Carly but I don’t know if she would sell records like I see CeCe or FH selling. And Tate is great but nothing new to country music, I think he’ll have a great careen but i don’t think he was the best winner for this show. And I still don’t understand why Jennel Garcia left so early I could clear see her on the final too. Anyway, I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen to CeCe, Jennel and 5th Harmony! I want to buy their albums!!

Lol at how Tate said “the other contestants want this, but I need it”. Um… What about Dinah Jane from fifth harmony who lives with 32 other people? Lol people just voted for Tate coz he loves his wife

This is such an underwhelming end. Carly or Fifth Harmony should’ve won.

My question for you is what you think will happen to the show next year?

And I agree about them not giving the top 12 enough recognition. Come on. While watching The Climb, I now realize that they should have had Carly sing it with Miley Cyrus during the duets the night before. Tate was off for me. However, I think Tate is an awesome person. He seems like such a nice guy, but like all of us wondering, what new is he going to bring to country music?

I was hoping for a performance from Emblem3 since they usually spice it up. They’re a lot smarter than people give them credit for, I honestly don’t think they like Simon that much and they’re probably not going to sign with him. Based off interviews, they seem to have much more respect for LA. If anything, they’ll probably go with him.

Carly shined tonight in my opinion. I hope she gets taken under the wings of the right people.

As for 5th Harmony, I don’t think Simon knows what to do with their voices. They shine more when they sing more urban sounding music.
