"The X Factor" results: Double elmination

"The X Factor" eliminated two acts this week to play catch-up after the judges decided to bring back Diamond White, and the shows co-hosts Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian Odom wasted no time getting to the results. (Spoiler Alert)

Lyric 145, Simon Cowell's hip-hop trio, was the first group to be sent home. The group performed Queen's "We Will Rock You," a song choice that left both L.A. Reid and Britney Spears disappointed on Wednesday night's live episode.

Jennel Garcia and Paige Thomas from Demi Lovato's Young Adults group were the other contestants with the lowest votes, but the two were given a chance to have a sing-off to stay in the competition.

Garcia sang Hoobastank's "The Reason" and Thomas sang Coldplay's "Paradise." Reid and Spears sided with Garcia, as well as Lovato, but in a twist Simon decided Garcia should go home.

"I'm just happy that I've come so far," Garcia said before she thanked her mentor Lovato.

The results show featured a performance by Taylor Swift, who sang "State of Grace" from her new album Red.
