X Factor Finalists' Duet Partners Announced!

X Factor Season 2 Top 3 Finalists Celebrity Guests

We've now reached finale week for the X Factor and the finalists are getting ready to earn your votes on Wednesday night!

While we previously told you that on Thursday, Pitbull and One Direction would be performing, we now have the names of the special celeb guests who will be dueting with the finalists the night before!

Joining frontrunner finalist Carly Rose Sonenclar will be LeAnn Rimes, who both the 13-year-old and mentor Britney Spears have chosen!

As for Tate Stevens, the crooner will be dueting with country group Little Big Town and Simon Cowell’s girl group, Fifth Harmony, will take the stage with judge Demi Lovato!

Could Dem Dem pairing up with Fifth Harmony guarantee them a spot in the final two? Or will it be seen more as an unfair advantage?

Perhaps L.A. will win over the viewers' sympathy, with this season being his last and all! Hmm…!

Last year, the three celebrity finale guests that joined Melanie Amaro, Josh Krajcik and Chris Rene on stage were R. Kelly, Alanis Morissette and Avril Lavigne!

While Tate’s choice makes sense, it sounds like perhaps LeAnn and Demi might've been the only performers available in Hollywood right before the holidays!

Tune into FOX on Wednesday and Thursday at 8pm for this season’s final two episodes!

I agree, Demi has a huge fan base so might give Fifth Harmony an advantage. I'm looking forward to see their duet; I really hope Demi does well!

this is their lineup?! the voice is MUCH better. the finale was jam-packed from rihanna, to kelly clarkson, to the killers, to avril lavigne, and bruno mars (and the coaches themselves) the voice is a much more talented show. maybe it's just the x factor US. the only hope is demi performing — and that's performing NOT judging. and that's it. nothing more to it. not even britney. hopefully simon can do better next year or go back to the UK. :/
