Hey M Girls,

Are you excited for Little Mix's American takeover? Here at the M office, we could not be more hyped about the ladies' US arrival, especially after we got to hang with them (and watch their amazing performance) at the Little Mix Me New York Concert Event, hosted by J-14, M, and TWIST! Didn't get a chance to catch Jesy, Jade, Perrie, and Leigh-Anne at their debut US concert? Don't worry, we've got all the deets from the fab event!

The festivities started off with LM hitting the red carpet looking as fashionable as ever! They rocked a coordinated blue look-- with the most amaze shoes to match! Jade donned her signature bow, this time it was a rainbow splattered one-- perf for the occasion! Leigh-Anne kept it vintage with a nineties inspired look, while Jesy piled on the gold accessories. Perrie had on sky high baby blue shoes, with a killer matching leather moto jacket (inspired by Zayn?).

The gals took some time on the carpet to do some X Factor bonding with US contestant Carly Rose Sonenclar. Check 'em out having a laugh reading the latest celeb news!

They could not have been sweeter as they chatted on the carpet about their debut album "DNA" which drops May 28, Jade even posed for a quick pic just for M!

After the carpet the ladies took the stage for an exclusive acoustic performance of some of their best tunes! Be sure to check back to mmm-mag.com for pics and an a vid of the show!

Hey M Girls,

We were super bummed to see Carly Rose, Fifth Harmony, and Emblem3 get eliminated from X Factor, but we have good news to share! They're all getting record deals! These X Factor grads will most likely have record deals with a company Simon Cowell co-owns!

Simon's had faith in Fifth Harmony from early on and even said, "There is such a market now for this girl band...I think where there's boybands there'll be girl bands. We may have someone who can fit that gap!" We love Lauren, Dinah, Camila, Normani, and Ally and can't wait to here more from them!

After Emblem3 went home, Simon basically confirmed he'll sign them! He said "I'm not going to let anyone else get them." "If we don't sign them, someone else will." We're glad Simon recognizes how great they are!

Simon's also been a huge fan of Carly Rose Sonenclar and has great plans for her too! He believe's she'll do wonderfully with this record company!

We're super excited to see what's next for our X Factor friends!

Hey M Girls,

Last night's epic X Factor finale was full of twists and turns right up until the very end! The three finalists, Fifth Harmony, Carly Rose Sonenclar and Tate Stevens, each took the stage one more time to sing some holiday classics and get special video messages from their loved ones. Then, it was time for business! (And, of course, amazing performances from One Direction and Pitbull -- check back on mmm-mag.com for vids!)

Early in the episode, it was revealed that Fifth Harmony came in third place, leaving Carly Rose and Tate to fight for the coveted top spot! Though we <3 5H, we weren't too shocked by the top two -- they've been on top all season long.

Then came the moment of truth -- and it was announced that Tate Stevens was the winner of X Factor season 2! We're super-happy for Tate, but bummed for adorable 13-year-old powerhouse Carly. Carly tweeted her support for Tate, saying, "You are amazing @Tatestevensctry! You deserve this! Congrats #Tatenation!" What a sweetie.

One thing's for sure -- Ms. Sonenclar will be a major star no matter what!

Hey M Girls,

Wow, we can't believe it's almost over! After weeks of watching our favorite contestants perform on the X Factor, the final three has finally been chosen! Before you watch tonight's live finals, catch up on everything that happened last week, in our weekly X Factor recap!

The Performances

Just like last week, each contestant was give two chances to take the stage, and prove they have the X Factor. The first song was chosen entirely by the artist, while the second was chosen by both the artist and their mentor as a last effort to secure a spot in the finals.

Check out our fave performances of the night!:

For Emblem 3's contestant-chosen song, the guys picked "Baby, I Love Your Way" by Peter Frampton. We loved the reggae twist E3 put into the tune, and their killer stage presence!:

Can you say country star?! After Tate Stevens' performance of his chosen song Craig Morgan's "Bonfire", we're totes convinced he's the real deal!:

Does Carly Rose Sonenclar ever get a song wrong? We don't think so! We love her choice of Elton John's "Your Song" especially because she dedicated it to her dad (plus it totes reminds us of 1D's X Factor performance of the tune!):

Fifth Harmony gave all they had to their performance of the song they chose, Ellie Goulding's "Anything Could Happen"-- and we think it paid off! They looked like complete pop stars on the stage, and we think it was their best performance of the competition!:

Which performance did you like best?

The Elimination

For the first time, only one act was voted out of the competition during the night's elimination. This elimination was the most important yet, because those who made it through would official move on to the finals! We were so shocked when it was announced that Emblem 3 received the fewest votes, and would be going home!

Just like Simon said, we already know E3 will have a huge career after X Factor--we can't wait to hear their music!

Check back next week for our final X Factor recap, and be sure to watch part one of the X Factor finale tonight at 8/7c on Fox!
