One Direction, Lea Michele, Pitbull & Leona Lewis Perform on "X Factor USA" Finale

Harry Styles X Factor USA performance

It was a star-studded night, Thursday, December 19th, on "The X Factor USA". At the finale episode that saw Alex and Sierra win Season 3, international and domestic singers performed their latest singles live (and using playback). Watch videos below!

One Direction rocked the stage with an electrifying performance of their confirmed new single, "Midnight Memories", the title track from the boyband's third album. Great single choice! The sounds epicly amazing LIVE. Louis and Niall have the best parts here.

Lea Michele X Factor USA performance

Lea Michele (God bless hear heart. R.I.P Cory) delivered a new televised performance of her debut single, the Sia-penned mid-tempo ballad "Cannonball". Very nice performance! She needed no dancers, or any paraphernalia on stage, it was just her beautiful self, a stand-up mic and her glorious vocals.

pPitbull X Factor USA Performance

Pitbull could not get Ke$ha to make it to the "X Factor USA" finale on Thursday, that's why he had to perform alone their hit collaboration "Timber". Nevertheless, Pitbull made several sexy "wild west" dancers, and huge screens display her face stand in for Ke$ha. "Timber" has proven to be a late bloomer. It's now burning up the charts!

Leona Lewis X Factor USA Performance

Last but not least, Leona Lewis returned to the "X Factor USA" on Thursday, after duetting with Alex and Sierra the previous night, to perform for the first time on American television her original Christmas single "One More Sleep". Love to listen to the song in its studio version, but watching Leona performing it (and to make it worse, using playback!) really bores me. It's like she takes away the fun, Chrismassy spirit.

Who had the best performance?
