Tate Stevens won the most votes on ‘X Factor’ last week, but does he have what it takes to be the overall victor? On tonight’s episode of the show (Nov. 14), he performed a passionate and heartfelt rendition of Shania Twain’s ‘From This Moment On,’ leaving behind a lasting impression on the judges.

“This is my guy!” exclaimed L.A. Reid. Britney Spears was quick to contribute her own thoughts on the contestant’s genuine performance (which was directed toward his wife). “Your performance was so heartfelt, and your vocals were amazing!” she exclaimed. “That was better than last week,” Simon Cowell remarked.

While Stevens admitted that the stress of it all culminated in tonight's episode, he still believes that he has what it takes to move on. “I do feel the pressure for being No. 1 last week,” he said. “This week, No. 12 can be No. 1 and No. 1 can be No. 12. You just have to bring it each week.”

This 37-year-old road worker has won over America in the recent past, so let’s see if it can happen again! It’s up to you (the viewers) to decide if he’s capable of winning this thing.
