The very first X Factor USA live shows were broadcast this week - and it was a jam packed, drama filled two episode special culminating in four acts being sent home by the judges.
On Wednesday night we saw all 16 contestants perform songs under the theme "Made in America" and then face the judges who reviewed their performances live on air.
Simon Cowell took on board the Halloween night atmosphere, donning a pair of fangs to scare the acts more than usual!
There were mixed reviews from the judges and some acts seemed destined to be in the sing offs the following night.
On the Thursday night show, each mentor had to send two acts to safety leaving their remaining two to duel it out in a sing off. Their final job was to choose which contestant they were saving and which would be going home.
Demi Lovato kicked off proceedings, sending Jennel Garcia and Cece Frey to immediate safety and leaving Willie Jones and Paige Thomas to battle for a place in next weeks show.
In a hard decision for Demi, she decided to save Paige, meaning Willie Jones left the show. Fans on Twitter seemed surprised the popular country artist had left and took to voicing their opinions in their thousands.
Next up, LA Reid saved Vino Alan and Tate Stevens with David Correy and Jason Brock competing in the sing off.
Simon Cowell savaged LA Reid's acts saying "Neither could win" but conceded Jason's performance was much better than his Wednesday night offering. LA seemed to agree and saved Jason. Popular David Correy was eliminated much to the shock of the watching fans.
Britney Spears seemed to face the hardest task with all her teens having put in amazing performances on the previous night. She chose to save Beatrice Miller and Carly Rose Soneclar. Arin Ray and Diamond White were left to go head to head. Britney chose to save Arin and Diamond White was the biggest shock elimination of the night.
Finally, Simon Cowell's groups were the last four acts to find out their fate. Simon immdiately saved Lyric 145 and Emblem 3 leaving the battle of the girl bands as 1432 and Sister C fought it out for the remaining spot. In the end Simon sent home Sister C keeping 1432 to sing again next week. However, he told audiences he "hated" 1432's name (only recently changed from LYLAS) and invited fans to submit ideas for a new name for the band!
Next week, the live shows continue and for the first time, the public get to vote for their favourite acts. Don't miss all the excitement Wednesdays & Thursdays 8pm ET on FOX!

Disgusted that David Corey was elinimated from USA XFactor. Someone with ambition, drive, determination, natural charisma. He sings with heart, emotion, and has a very audiable tone which naturally draws the audience
Uterally disppointed! How on earn does a man of LA Reid's callibre let a STAR with drive passion and determination go! David Corey oozes Star quality, passion, charisma stage presence and most of all the public luv him! I hope Americian Idol swoop on Xfactors loss and quickly assign a public growing idol into their show to add to both their fan base and regognise that their is something so special and endearing about how David Corey sings and his ability to quickly establish a connection to the public when he sings. Sorry Xfactor but you are also making a mistake with another true star CeCe Frey who also naturally oozes drive and charisma aswell as star potential. If she goes I am switching off from xfactor completely good luck to the two singers that have both star quality and passion to succeed!
