Still, a bond formed at the beach and the two became best friends. Two years ago, Alex and Sierra made the jump from friends to boyfriend and girlfriend.<\/p>\n<p>The couple\u2019s foray into stage performances began about as naturally and spontaneously as their relationship. Alex, who\u2019d performed on different public stages for six years, would bring Sierra to his gigs and ask her to play or sing along with him. From there, their bond as musical artists and performers was created.<\/p>\n<p>As for their <em>X Factor<\/em> audition, it wasn\u2019t Alex or Sierra\u2019s first time in the TV spotlight. Both had auditioned for the twelfth season of <em>American Idol<\/em>, but the show does not accept group performances. Alex &amp; Sierra had to split up. Sierra was not selected for <em>American Idol<\/em>. However Alex made it all the way to Hollywood Week before being eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>This turn of events didn\u2019t seem to faze the couple\u2019s drive to perform at all. In fact, it was a major reason the couple even auditioned for <em>The X Factor<\/em>. Sierra stated she \u201clured\u201d Alex into performing by reminding him Simon Cowell, one of the creators behind <em>American Idol<\/em> and <em>The X Factor<\/em>, would be a judge.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2014\/01\/Alex-and-Sierra-audition-Resized.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-8904\" alt=\"Alex and Sierra audition Resized\" src=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2014\/01\/Alex-and-Sierra-audition-Resized-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a>From that point on, it was a whirlwind of four busy months performing, rehearsing and doing interviews. Alex &amp; Sierra faced off against the 15 other contestants that were left after thousands initially auditioned, made it through boot camp and the four chair challenge. The pair stayed determined and made it through regular and double eliminations as well as a triple elimination unscathed. It was smooth sailing for the couple on the whole, despite Sierra being hit with critiques on her smaller vocal power compared to Alex\u2019s vocal strength.<\/p>\n<p>Simon would gush over some of Alex &amp; Sierra\u2019s performances, calling one \u201cthe best of the season\u201d before the season was even over. He even predicted the couple would win after their version of A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera\u2019s \u201cSay Something\u201d hit number one in the Itunes store.<\/p>\n<p>In the two-night finale, Alex &amp; Sierra competed against Jeff Guff and Carlito Olivero. On the first night Alex &amp; Sierra performed one song of their choice to win the competition (Ed Sheeran\u2019s \u201cGive Me Love\u201d), one song with a celebrity guest (\u201cBleeding Love\u201d with Leona Lewis), and a song of the audience\u2019s choice (\u201cSay Something\u201d by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera). Their first and last performances were major hits.<\/p>\n<p>6,204,000 viewers from 166 countries tuned in to watch <em>The X Factor<\/em>\u2019s finale, a 42% ratings increase from just two months prior. Alex &amp; Sierra sang their rendition of Mariah Carey\u2019s \u201cAll I want for Christmas\u201d during the holiday themed show before being crowned winners. The victory was surreal to the couple until they began singing \u201cSay Something\u201d again as their coronation song and the top 13 contestants came out to congratulate them. It was later revealed Alex &amp; Sierra had received the most votes every single week of the competition. Therefore their win shouldn\u2019t come across as too much of a shock.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2014\/01\/Alex-and-Sierra-Home-Coming-2-resized.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8908 alignleft\" alt=\"Alex and Sierra Home Coming 2 resized\" src=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2014\/01\/Alex-and-Sierra-Home-Coming-2-resized-300x224.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a>Right after winning, Alex &amp; Sierra flew back home to Orlando, Florida on December 21<sup>st<\/sup> and were greeted by nearly 100 fans, including their family, UCF students and alumni, and local media the FOX 35 news, CF News 13 and XL106.7.<\/p>\n<p>Both Alex and Sierra have a connection to the UCF College of Sciences. Alex is a UCF student, in his senior year.\u00a0 He is studying I-O communication, but is currently taking a break from school. He does plan to return to UCF and finish out his degree. Sierra has recently become a UCF Alumna, graduating with a degree in advertising and public relations in 2013. \u00a0Sierra and her family are well connected to the university.\u00a0 Her father is a former adjunct professor in psychology at UCF and is currently a professor at FL Tech.\u00a0 Her sister, Lara Deaton, graduated from UCF in 2012 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in nursing.\u00a0 Many of her other family members either worked for UCF, studied at UCF or graduated from the university.\u00a0 Her entire family is thrilled with their success.<\/p>\n<p>Just days after their return and holiday celebrations, <a href=\"http:\/\/touch.orlandosentinel.com\/#section\/-1\/article\/p2p-78664603\/\" target=\"_blank\">Daytona Beach mayor Derrick Henry honored Alex &amp; Sierra with a key to the city<\/a> in a large ceremony with about 1,000 people present on December 26th. The duo also performed during the special event.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and Sierra both say their experience on <em>The X Factor<\/em> strengthened and increased their confidence in their relationship. This is great news for all fans of the sweetheart\u2019s relationship. Alex &amp; Sierra have now moved to California and begun work on their first album together and co-writing songs for it. Let\u2019s hope their album blows us away just as much as their spectacular win on <em>The X Factor<\/em> did.<\/p>\n<p>The College of Sciences is coordinating a UCF campus wide event for Sierra &amp; Alex to celebrate the couple&#8217;s success on <em>The X Factor<\/em> sometime in 2014.
