X Factor

[Gemme]

OMG, I've waited for this show forEVER!!!

I have to say, even less than an hour into it, it's fantastic.

My favorite thus far has been the very first girl. I called to Ebon and told him to come look at our child. Seriously, she looks just like us.

What do you think?

I can't find it. What channel is it on???? :|

[Gemme]

I can't find it. What channel is it on???? :|

Fox. It's on tonight and tomorrow.

Paula Abdul, Nicole Sherzinger, LA Reid and Simon are the judges.

It's not nearly as cheesy as Idol.

The prize is also a contract worth $5 million, so it's the largest prize for this type of show.

[wolfbittenpoet]

Not bad. Simon is definitely happier here.

[Gemme]

"But, Simon, I sing REGULARLY!"

There are a lot of things I do regularly that shouldn't be shown to the public.

Just sayin'.

[Ebon]

"But, Simon, I sing REGULARLY!"

There are a lot of things I do regularly that shouldn't be shown to the public.

Just sayin'.

Amen to that. :|

[Gemme]

All in all, I think it was a wondeful debut! I'm super excited about this show.


You all might be able to tell.

:blink:

runs in, subscribes, runs out before the X-factor starts over here on the west coast. Psssstt.....was it good, Gemme ????

[Dante]

wow ! My first observation. The contestants have a band backing them up , and right up there on the stage, instead of a hotel conference room.

[Gemme]

runs in, subscribes, runs out before the X-factor starts over here on the west coast. Psssstt.....was it good, Gemme ????

It really was! I look forward to seeing how it progresses.

[Gemme]

It's on!!!!!!!!!!

[luv2luvgirls]

I still havent had the chance to view it yet ,I have it DVRd so imma try to get to it today and share my thoughts

[The_Lady_Snow]

We haven't had the time to view this show either, tonight we will vía Hulu!!!

Excited!

[Gemme]

I'd like to introduce you all to mine and Ebon's child. We didn't make her, but she is EXACTLY like what our child would look and act like, all the way from her first giggle to the "Mom, did you see that? Did you see that? Did you see that?".

She is absolutely precious and the perfect choice for the very first X Factor audition in the US.

That guy annoyed me tremendously. No, it won't repeat, as far as I know, but youtube has a wealth of videos. Hulu's an option too.

See above for some of the best.

[luv2luvgirls]

Gemme I love you and Ebons child :D... when that lil girl got on stage w/ all her spunk and sass.. i loved her.. but when that child opened her mouth to sing.. :O yeah she blew me away!! she's my fave lol

all three of you are Precious, in My opinion !:hangloose:

[Gemme]

It's onnnnnn!

[Gemme]

I love it when they start with a love story. Even if one of the people doesn't know it exists.

[dixie]

The love story was cute! Also, I just love the lil Skylar guy who kept on singing. :)

[Gemme]

He really IS a creep.

:blink:

[dixie]

He really IS a creep.

:blink:

I liked the creepy guy! Lol

[Gemme]

OMG. OMG. OMG.

Etta.

OMG.

He effin killed it.

*edited to mention that I typed that BEFORE his mother and the judges said that he killed it*

Ha! I could soooo do their job.

[lyric]

He was INCREDIBLE!! Gotta love a guy who can sing Etta... especially like THAT!

[Gemme]

They're in Seattle now.

I miss it.

:stillheart:

[Gemme]

Uh.

:blink:

Um.

:blink:

[scootebaby]

this seems a lot like American Idol....i did like the "etta" guy and the lil guy who kept singing,but the rest ive seen made ME embarrassed for them! soooooooooo im flipping over to Criminal Minds with Emily Prentiss and JJ(both who came back this season) yay!!!!!

[lyric]

yes... you're right about many of them, scootebaby... but sometimes there is a surprise like that guy, or the girl from last week who sang "Listen" from "Dreamgirls" and it makes the time spent watching worth it for me.

but i'm a talent competition nerd, so that's just me. :)

[Gemme]

I LOVE Drew. She had me worried with the "I love Justin Bieber!" crap but I loved her performance.

The thing that is annoying me more than anything else at this point is the overreaction from the parents. I get the feeling that some of them, and I felt this last week too, are living vicariously through their kids. That annoys me.

I like you so much, Scoote, but I had to say, "Duh!" when you wrote this. It's another singing competition and two of the same judges from AI are on the panel. Of COURSE there are similarities.

:blink:

However, there are fewer age limitations and the general feel of it is less cheesy (minus the parents that on my nerves) to me.

I do wonder what it is about constantly cutting away to the guy starting the track before they begin singing. Anyone have a clue what that's supposed to do for the show?

[Gemme]

For Peet's sake....:blink:

[Gemme]

It's starting to get good now! I hope Seattle continues to pan out.

TORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :goodluck:

[Glenn]

:confused:I had to stop watching. I.. I actually almost cried.

[Bella~Vita]

Poor Devin ... he was was determined ....:blink:

[Bella~Vita]

OMG! Did Jasmine rock it or what?

[Gemme]

I love a man who can sing Ella AND brings his mom to his audition. The way she said she drove the whole way makes me wonder if he has license and/or alcohol issues.

I was expecting drivel, but she's FANTASTIC!

This could have ended quite differently. He did a good job!

yessss I dug Jazzmine! And that girl who sang Justin Bieber's song and LA said she sang it better than him! I loved that Boys 2 Men group. And the young guy 14 who was a rapper and gave Simon a hard time.
Next week they said starts Boot Camp?? They showed a small preview and it looks like they will get choreography lessons???? And then the judges get split up and each one gets a different group. sounds interesting. Can't wait !

Ok so it's something like the voice but better I think. I'm hooked already ... lol.

I was telling Ebon the other night that it's American Idol and The Voice put together. Less cheese, more substance and more involvement of the judges.

Perfectly said Gemme ... lol

[deb_U_taunt]

Jazzlyn Little has a lot more than 500 hits now. :) Kid has a great voice.

[Gemme]

It's bootcamp!

*excited*

[lyric]

Yaaay!
I've been waiting for this alllll day!

[Gemme]

Ohhhhhhh my.

:blink:

Well, that was special.

I have no life! I have no life!

In other news, the partiers are going to be in for a rude awakening, I'm afraid.

*thinks this is a test*

[Dante]

The X-factor is getting good! Now boot camp is over and we know what that entailed. I like that the judges will actually be competing as well. Paula has the groups. I think that will be the toughest to mentor. Simon has the girls. He should do good. Nicole the over 30. and LA has the boys. I am looking forward to next week. Who will end up staying? Lots of peeps to root for .... I like Rachel Crow, Josh Kravitz, Brennin Hunt, The Stereo Hogzz, Stacey Francis, Simone Battle, and Chris Rene, the rapper, and Dexter, the James Brown guy, little Brian Bradley, Jazzlynn Little, and Tiah Tollover, and and and....

[Gemme]

I agree. They surprised me with bringing in the kids and making two groups out of them.

Mine and Ebon's child is still in it and did you HEAR her??? Fantastic.

I love your daughter! Soooo talented! Do you plan on keeping her name Rachel, or are you going to change it? :seeingstars:

We love her exactly as she is.

[Dante]

So .... no show last nite (Wed), I believe it was due to the baseball playoffs. Anyone know what happens next? Will we see last nite's show Judges Homes, Part 1? or ????

[Gemme]

Tonight the judges cut their sections down by half. We'll have our top 16 acts by the end of the show, I believe.

I hope the little hip hop kid makes it.

Enrique is stoned. But this girl is awesome!! Purple Rainnnn Purple Raiiiinnnn.....I sing better than her. :|

I can't help but laugh ... you two are so cute n funny :giggle:

[Dante]

Apparently, the episode we missed will be shown this Sunday evening. Part 2 at the judges houses.

[Gemme]

For those not still traveling from the Reunion, it's on!

[Gemme]

Our girl, Rachel Crow, did well!!! Simon said something to his advisors about her handling pressure but the only girl I've seen have a difficult time with nerves and dealing with pressure is Jazz Little. She cracks before every single performance. I like her, but if it came down to the two of them, Rachel better go through. That's all I have to say about that.

wow! Your girl made the cut . Top 17! And you can tell Simon really likes her. I think we have a star here!

[Gemme]

Finally, the show has settled into its normal schedule and is on for two hours tonight, showcasing the top 12 for your vote.

Enjoy!

[Gemme]

I may be the only person here watching this show but I still love it.

The performers are visibly growing and gaining experience. I love, love, loved Astro tonight. No one has been 'bad' at all.

I'm excited to see what Rachel is going to perform.

Wee!

[Gemme]

Rachel sang Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind".

O. M. G.

I do so love that child.

She brought tears to my eyes.

[MissItalianDiva]

Just saw Marcus Canty and he KILLED that song!

[Gemme]

Marcus did do a really good job.

Yesssss can you just imagine her singing "At Last", by Etta James !

So much talent! Poor Paula. She really has done a good job with her groups. I especially like Melanie Amaro, and Josh Krajcik, Chris Rene, and Ebon & Gemme's girl, of course.

I'm happy that Rachel is still in the competition. Here's an interview that shows just how special she really is.

Last night the Xfactor gave an emotional tribute to the Newtown victims. wow! They were all dressed in white, and sang, You are not alone, I am here with you ....sung by the finalists and some of the former contestants. They posted all of the victims names on the stage behind the singers. Powerful .....very sad.

[Prudence]

Wish I would have found this thread earlier in the season. I love the X-factor.. some amazing voices on the show from season to season so far. I like Carly Rose to win. I'm sure Tate has a future in here in Nashville. He's probably already been contacted by Music Row. I thought the tribute was very tastefully done. Get song choice also. I can't wait to grab my snacks , jump on my bed and watch tonight. Happy viewing ya'll.
