LOS ANGELES (AP) – Britney Spears says Simon Cowell should get out his checkbook — and start writing a check to Carly Rose Sonenclar. The 13-year-old is one of the standouts of season-two of “The X Factor.” Her version of “Hallelujah” even forced Cowell to tell Carly she had a very good night. Carly goes into tonight’s finale with country guy Tate Stevens and the instant group Fifth Harmony. Stevens has been another favorite all season long. Fifth Harmony has been coming on strong in the last few weeks. Cowell gives them a slight edge, but notes he’s biased because he mentored them. Tonight, the winner of the $5 million recording contract will be announced.
