Warren Teens Advance on 'X Factor'
Now part of a larger group, Austin Percario and Emily Wilson are moving towards the grand prize.

Austin Percario and Emily Wilson, students at , had done well as a duo—AusEm—on Fox TV's "X Facotor," but now as part of the 10-member group InTENsity, they've progressed even more.
Judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Antonio "L.A." Reid and Nicole Scherzinger put Austin and Emily in a group with other young performers ages 12 to 17 who originally auditioned for the show as solo and duo artists.
The judges determined which 16 of the 32 remaining acts would advance during Tuesday's show—and InTENsity was among them.

InTENsity performed for Abdul and special guest judge Pharrell Williams at Abdul's house in Santa Barbara, Calif., in an episode that aired Sunday. They performed a mashup of "That's Not My Name" by The Ting Tings and "You Make My Dreams" by Hall & Oats. Some viewers said they were fresh, sassy and reminiscent of "Glee" and "High School Musical."
Meanwhile, their local fan base is growing, according to Tony Percario, Austin's father, who noted it's becoming a "full time job" keeping up with the emails he's getting about them.

"It's an overwhelming feeling of pride," he added. "Can't sleep at night...but I wouldn't trade it for the world!"
