CARLY ROSE WATCH: Sonenclar Moves On To X FACTOR Finals

Only three contestants remain after an action-packed X FACTOR Semi-Finals results show last night. Now it's up to America to decide who will win a $5 million recording contract, and appear in their own Pepsi commercial to air during the 2013 Grammy Awards.

The evening began with a shocking announcement that Fifth Harmony would be the first act who would advance to next week's Finals. "This is absolutely phenomenal!" said the group's Ally Brooke after hearing the news.

Later in the show, Tate Stevens became the second act America chose to advance to next week's Finals. "I'm very, very proud. I am a Tate Stevens fan," said Tate's mentor L.A. Reid, who also admitted that he did not used to be a country music fan. 

That left Broadway's Carly Rose Soenclar and Emblem 3 to anxiously await their fates. When it was ultimately announced that Carly Rose would be going through to next week's final round, she graciously commented,  "I don't even know what to say. Thank you so much for voting and Emblem3, I know you're going to go so far and I can't wait to buy your album!"

Tune in for two two-hour shows next WED DEC 19 and THU DEC 20 at 8/7c on FOX and find out who will be crowned the new champion of THE X FACTOR!

Sonenclar has appeared on Broadway in Les Miserables and Wonderland, and has also taken the stage in NYMF's The Night of the Hunter (2006) and the national tour of Little House on the Prairie the Musical.
