Carly Rose Sonenclar—the Mamaroneck teen with a voice that betrays her young age—was voted into the final round of X Factor, bringing her one step closer to the top prize: a $5 million recording contract.
Carly, on her Facebook page, thanked X Factor Judge Britney Spears for being "the best mentor," and for "always believing in me."
Spears was equally effusive to the voters who helped propel Carly to the finals: "To my Britney Army & everyone that voted for Carly last night - this is a big moment for us all to be proud of. Thank y'all so so much."
Carly will return to X Factor next Wednesday for the finals—help Carly win by voting next week!
