Like if CeCe won

I was rooting for Paige but in all honesty something took over Cece in this performance and she absolutely nailed it!! She never matched this level again though

I LITERALLY LOVE HOW THEIR SMILES JUST COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR WHEN CECE SINGS. She is just way too amazing.

who ever edited this video needs a medal XD

It's a shame so many hate on CeCe just bc she was confident in her abilities. You have to love and believe in yourself if you're going to be truly happy in this world.

CECE OWNWD THAT SONG! Absolutely no comparison, when Simon said, "One of you actually nailed it..." it was Cece! Just saying! She's pretty amazing!

Cece's actually one of the best to cover this song in terms of sustaining the notes in the climax!

don't like cece but she killed it

2:18 already showed who won. I can’t remember of anyone else having the same qualities of Whitney singing this climax, as resonance, power, stable tone, and a very big sound, as Cece did. She simply did one of the best performances of the entire show and one of the best IWALY cover. Whitney would be very proud.

Cece destroyed Paige, but she was never this good again

Lol how weird Cece actually sounds pretty good here. I feel like the rest of the season she was terrible though.

In my opinion I personally think Cece sang it better than Paige. Although I really really really disliked her attitude and the way she thinks she is better than everyone, it seriously really annoys me but she is a really good singer.

It's like Christina Aguilera and Rihanna.... one is good at being loud and screaming, the other is not necessarily the best singer, but sings in a tone and style that fits their voice.

Probably the only time Cece actually did well

This kinda proves the point about "no matter how good you are, they're will always be somebody better" No doubt about Paige she has a unique voice and i can see her really trying, and ofc I love cece and her voice. They're both brilliant in their own ways,

I was worrying while Paige singing. Worrying that her pitch will out here and there. I was enjoy while Cece sing, but after the high note, her note starting to be flat. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I prefer Cece's High note at " And I......" and I prefer Paige emotion.

I love CeCe's eyes!! omg

I always thought Cece couldn't sing after her first audition but this just proved me wrong. She has soul for real.

cece was being cocky. i don't like it.. paige needs to stop looking so depressed. cece may have won that but that doesn't mean paige wasn't REALLY good.

I loved Cece and her attitude, you're not there to make friends, you're there to win it

Well... the way Cece sang that song was epic ! You can tell she was perflectly on tone with the original track : something even Whitney Houston was hardly able to do. So bad that Cece sucked for her other performance !!

Wow cece sang that incredibly

LOL at the "OWNED" on the screen

Cece was probably twice as good as Paige. but everyone has their own opinion. even Simon said "one of you actually nailed it" and he was meaning Cece

Proof that a horrible attitude can ruin beauty and talent smh Cece...

Normani was like I'm out I'll be famous anyway 😂

Cece was far better than Paige

It is clear that CeCe has better vocal control than Paige however CeCe's attitude and personality sucked and Paige had a better sob story which are always used as a way to get more votes and distract from the mistakes. I feel CeCe would've gone further if she was more likeable

Oh my goodness. Cece sounds identificly with Whitney when she hits the high notes

made my mum listen and she didn't know either of them. She said that Cece sounded better, even very similarly to Whitney. Cece is just usually judged by her attitude not her amazing talent. 😊

Just because Cece is cocky, doesn't mean she isn't a great singer. She has the right to be cocky I mean you've heard her sing, she is really good. I would be cocky too if I had that voice.

After rewatching some of these Demi seems to have a problem with confident girls

Paige sounds like Dolly Parton's version more than Whitney. Cece did so much better though. Not gonna lie.

CeCe nailed it. But Paige has a very appealing voice with a hint of fragility to it and I think it makes the performance better. CeCe's voice is strong, just like her! Go girl!!

When cede did the highest part I thought she was lip syncing to actual Whitney

Cece killed it!

Cece has a beautiful voice but she is way too cocky and confident and I can't stand that.

I have to say, although I'm not necessarily a big fan of CeCe, she definitely sang this better than Page. This is absolutely clear when she hits the big notes, I actually got goosebumps. Gotta give her props for this one.

Everyone just gives her cuz of her personality but she can actually sing

You can hate on her but....CeCe shit on Paige. CeCe fucking did it perfectly

I miss cece 😢 i was watching her videos since i was in grade 6 💕 i just love her ❤️

I love this season ❤️ Cece just killed it

When Cece started singing "And I" i got chills omg

She looked the part as the tough singer! She nailed it,"The Eye of the Tiger"Go Cece Fray!

you guys say that CeCe can't sing anything because you don't like her attitude but let's be honest she CAN sing and her voice is really good we all know that...

Omfg that owned sign was everything HAHAHAHA

Cece owned Paige. Paige was way too shaky and took too many breaths in between verses, cece flowed with the sing

Com'on cece, sing it for me girl, producers what are we waiting for, this girl should be on big screen already , love her voice, her style , l mean everything:)

Wow! An amazing voice! I don't usually like this style but Cece is talented

The best rendition I have ever heard. You are without a doubt an above the rest performer. I don't like where you have been taken artistically. But given the chance to hear you. Your the best and Whitney would be so proud.

cece has a better voice then paige but it is cece attitude that makes people like paige more

Paige sounded like a GOAT!!!

I loved Paige I wanted her to win

i think the both did good but my winner is Cece

Paige sucked to be honest. Her voice was very shaky and vibrated too much.

Love both

That gave me goose bumps

I thought CeCe was way too shaky at the beginning and Paige was a bit shakier after but to me, Paige owned it.

They were both great for sure but I think Cece owned it like a bo$$ but I don't care if she's cocky if she can sing well that's all that matters in thin this competition

Love you CeCe :) you're truly talented

You go girl follow your dreams ......

I mean....CeCe absolutely killed this song.

Paige sounds like a goat

second one straight up gave me goosebumps

i love both and i even watch it on 2017. anyone still watch this ?

Cece was amazing she remind me of Christina Algeria

The white girl sounds good, but she has low self esteem that make her a hater.. the rolling of eyes and facial expressions was disgusting..

I love Cece so much omg

AMAZING CECE !!!!

All of you say Cece is just being "confident", I understand she has confidence, but all that confidence gets in the way of her talent. And when confidence overrides your singing, it won't sound as good as you would want it to. And when you're too cocky about shit, you're so fucking unlikable. Paige had the upperhand on this one, her voice was amazing, Cece should have been sent home the very first time she performed for the auditions. My opinion. Paige has such a beautiful voice that you could listen to all day, but Cece has that kind of voice you would be begging God to make you deaf.

2:36 "I wish I could sing like this"

🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿CeCe!!!

Uufff casi q no encuentro este vídeo

Based on their performances, honestly, Cece owned it

hey uhhh it's not "who sounded most like the original", it's "who sang it better". i feel like paige sang with way more soul than cece tbh. cece's performance came off more spiteful than anything else

Cece was the best listen to her vocals even after all these years she deserved to win!

Just WOW

1:52 I'll die laughing.

Paige almost squats trying to get that note out lol Cece sang effortlessly and looked gracious doing so

the only season that i enjoyed out of all the X Factor shows tbh

😍😍😂💕❤️Their both so flipping pretty omg 😍😍😍😍💕❤️

Please..... cece killed it! c'mon

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW NORMANI FUCKING KORDEI ?

Wow CeCe that was really good 👍

Wow cece sounds amazing

Paige thomas she is the best.

Cece killed it. She wasn't showing off. It's a competition, she wanted to win.

Screaming competition at its best!

CECE I LOVE YOU GIRL!

I love them both. But Paige shouldn't have taken CeCe's song. Some people are saying that CeCe was being cocky but she was only being cocky because her song was stolen and she was trying to not let any nervousness or anger she may have felt show. Paige needed to stop looking so depressed when CeCe was singing. It's not like CeCe stole the song from her, SHE stole the song from CECE. So I don't know why Paige was sitting over there and having a pity party the whole time but she needs to grow up. Also though, CeCe should know that in the industry, no one is original. Every singer steals from other singers, every actor steals from other actors, etc. That's showbiz. They both need to get an attitude check.

CeCe team!

i think that they both deserve the win and i think that if they combine they will make a nice combination.......simon should have made a group of them since he made the fifth harmony....and they would have an awesome combination of voice and beauty

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS CECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️they were all caught off guard. 😂😂😂

Paige did so well I almost got chills, I was wondering how Cece could top that but she actually did

I love CeCe,

LOVE YOU CECE FREY♥ YOU'RE THE BEST

dayummm cece wow.. her voice.. damnnn

Paige Thomas has such a better attitude

Paige needs to work on her technique. Cece needs to work on her nasal.

cece nailed it! great job
