SEQUIM — The three-man Emblem3 made it to the final-four in a nationally television competition Thursday night.
The group, which harmonized an acoustic version of “Just the Way You Are” on “X Factor USA” on the Fox Network the night before, were elevated to the next round along with contestants Tate Stevens, Carly Rose Sonenclar and Fifth Harmony
What might have helped Emblem3 to the next round was judge Britney Spears, who called “Just the Way You Are” the trio’s “best performance in the competition.”
Emblem3 is brothers Wesley and Keaton Stromberg and friend Drew Chadwick, all raised in Sequim and now living in Huntington Beach, Calif.
“X Factor USA” will soon come to a close with one of these four acts winning a $5 million recording contract.
Tune in Wednesday at 8 p.m. on Fox channel 13 to hear new performances by Emblem3 along with the band’s three competitors.
