For the first time in the history of any singing competition show,THE X FACTOR revealed exactly how America voted and broke it down by the act with the lowest number of votes to the act with the most votes. Not surprisingly, Broadway's Carly Rose Sonenclar finished in the Number Two spot on the list. Here's how America voted on the Top 12 Finalists: 

12. CeCe Frey
11. Arin Ray
10. Beatrice Miller
9. Lyric145
8. Paige Thomas
7. Jennel Garcia
6. Emblem3 (Simon said he thought they'd be No. 1!)
5. Fifth Harmony
4. Diamond White
3. Vino Alan
2. Carly Rose Sonenclar
1. Tate Stevens

At a party for the Top 12, held after the show aired, a beaming Sonenclar gushed, "It's nice. I love being here. It's kind of overwhelming, but it's very exciting."

Unfortuntely for contestant Jason Brock, the news was not as positive as the singer was eliminated from the competition. Upon departing the show, Brock commented, "I want to say, I did it for the gays and Japan!"

Sonenclar has appeared on Broadway in Les Miserables and Wonderland, and has also taken the stage in NYMF's The Night of the Hunter (2006) and the national tour of Little House on the Prairie the Musical.
