The X Factor, The Day After: Top 13 Live Show Dish

Last night, "The X Factor" Season 2 top 13 (the already-announced top 12, plus bonus returning contestant Diamond White) performed, for the first time this season competing for the public's vote. And while some contestants (Lyric 145, Carly Rose Sonenclar, Jennel Garcia) definitely gave winning performances, others didn't--even if sometimes that was mostly due to their respective coaches' misguided song, staging, and styling choices.

Today, with just a few hours before we find out who will be the first contestant of Season 2 to be voted off by America, my "The Day After" co-host Matt Whitfield and I are here to break it all down for you. Who had the X factor last night? Who didn't? Who's going home? Let's discuss.
