Carly Rose Sonenclar of Mamaroneck will be vying against country singer Tate Stevens and girl group Fifth Harmony for a $5 million recording contract as she takes the stage Wednesday night on "The X Factor." The winner will be announced on Thursday night’s episode.

On Wednesday night's two-hour show, each contestant will be paired with a music star for a celebrity duet. Carly Rose will perform with country singer LeAnn Rimes, while Stevens will perform with Little Big Town and Fifth Harmony will harmonize with “X Factor” judge Demi Lovato. The Top 3 also will each perform a “winner’s song,” the single that will be released if they are named the winner.

Carly Rose’s friends, fans and community are showing their support for the Westchester teen with a viewing party at Archbishop Stepanic High School in White Plains (950 Mamaroneck Ave., White Plains; 914-946-4800; www.stepinac.org).
