Ellona Santiago Praised By X Factor Judges As Best in Top 8 Face-Off (VIDEO)

The “X Factor” Top 8 had to compete directly head-to-head for the first time ever on Wednesday’s “Big Band” episode.
Each act performed a few lines from “Cry Me A River,” hoping to stand out above and beyond their competition — and it seems one singer may have succeeded.
Kelly Rowland praised Ellona Santiago,Lillie McCloud, and Alex & Sierra, but criticized Reckless Road for not harmonizing.
Demi Lovato agreed that Santiago “excelled,” as did Josh Levi and Carlito Olivero, along with Rion Paige to a lesser degree, but was a little disappointed by McCloud.
Paulina Rubio also said the boys were her highlights with Santiago, while saying she “expected a little bit more” from Jeff Gutt.
Simon Cowell declined to say who was the worst, refusing to “judge people on three lines,” but said that ”somebody here tonight has had an outstanding night — and that is Ellona Santiago.”
It seemed pretty unanimous on who was the best, at least according to the judges, but two acts will have to go home on Thursday’s Thanksgiving special.
Check out the video below, and tell us who gets your vote!
