“X Factor USA” is done with the auditions and have just chosen its Top 16 finalists for the live performances. From sensation teen hopeful to energetic performers and lovers to touch your heart, the Fox’s reality show has it all.

Who will be the “X Factor USA” hopefuls to beat? Check out the top 5 contestants to watch out for.

Josh Levi
The moment he set foot on stage, he impressed the judges. He owned the third night of the auditions with “that look in his eyes that says confidence and voice to match his young, good looks.” The audience agreed with the judges who think that the 14-year-old may go far this season, especially with Simon’s declaration that “he could be looking for a future star.”

Josh may have been “super nervous,” the first time he was on stage, but he is too talented indeed not to show an inch of any tension during what could be a nerve-wracking experience for the teen. He showed, with confidence, even described flirting with Demi, great sounding voice and strong stage presence.

Restless Road
Like One Direction, Simon Cowell is the man behind Restless Road after he put them together. Noting the group to be a “country man band,” Restless Road had impressed the judges and America. They received a standing ovation with their rendition of “Somebody Like You.”

Paulina Rubio praised the group and said, “I completely love you three.” And she could not stop what makes Restless Road a good one.

She continued, “You’re so different between each other. Your different vocals blend so well. You guys are amazing.”

Rion Page
She received the astounding round of applause when she wowed the judges and the audience with her take of Rascal Flatts’ “I Won’t Let Go.” Page sure will not let the opportunity pass her by after proving everyone of her powerful voice. Everyone loved her.

The Entertainmentwise.com noted that all the judges loved her and they had nothing but good words for Rion.

Kelly Rowland said, "Rion, I love your voice. I love how happy and excited you are when you sing. I just love watching you.”

And Simon Cowell agrees with Kelly. He said: "Well, Rion, when you’ve got it, you got it, right? And I really, really like your voice. And I think we’re scratching the surface here.”

As for Demi, she said she just can’t let Rion go. Could America?

Demi : "You’re only 13 and you have such a mature voice coming out of you. And you know, when I look at you, I don’t see anything different.

“Rion, you are an incredibly special girl. I can’t let you go."

Alex and Sierra
They are the very few things who happen on any reality singing competition in America. Alex and Sierra are lovers, could America ask for more?

America loved them even more after their rendition of Grease’s “You’re The One that I Want.” Are they what America want?

Nothing could be more touching than seeing contestants to kiss after a performance.

Kelly loved them: "I genuinely adore you two. I love listening to you sing together, and I like a bit of the sexiness you guys have, too.”

And so does Simon: “These two I can’t see ever splitting up. You’ll always be Alex and Sierra. I really, really like you. There’s no one in the market like you. I like the fact that you put your own twists on these songs.

"People are really gonna fall in love with you. I can think of nothing better than working with you two in this competition."

Wild Thingz
Another duo to impress the judges and America is Wild Thingz with their energetic performance of LMFAO's “Party Rock Anthem.”

Kelly wasn’t too impressed, but she still found a place in the live finals when she said: "It’s not music it’s unintentional comedy.”

As for Simon, the soon-to-be father still wanted to give them a chance. Wild Thingz has a lot to work on to stay on top finalists this season.

Simon said: "If I had a three-year-old, which I will soon will, then he or she would probably quite like you", and with that Wild Things were given a place in Simon's category as he said: "I don’t even know which one is the most annoying … but you can stay."
