SIMON'S BACK! X-FACTOR

Wow I did not know E3 won breakout group on the Teen Choice Awards and they are headlining their own tour in 2014.  Good for them.

  YEAH RR, Alex & Sierra and Jeff  

FC I find Rion way more OTT than Elona.  Her overwrought vocals have me not liking her when I really want to.

Interesting Carlito or Rion who will the judges save?

If Rion goes Demi lost both girls tonight.

If Carlito goes Paulina has no boys left.

Wonder if Simon will let America decide as he did last week?

Now this Little Minx I do not like.

No surprise here..........in the sing off are Carlito and Rion. Those on the ITunes charts made it through no problem.

Canear, I just noticed that Elona was not on the ITunes chart.

MJ's vote the B2 Carlito and Rion in bottom.

But they thought Elona would be safest.

I think E3 is just awful.  I just do not hear good voices at all.

I think the difference with Rion is she is not into the big production numbers doing all sorts of things, ripping off parts of her clothes and dancing all over etc.   Like Canear said last night, just too much.    I see your point on Rion, I just also see a kid who has it really rough and will continue to have a lot to deal with.  I admire her strength and spirit. 

I hope Simon has it go to America.  I feel that is more fair - whichever way it goes.  But I can see the judges saving Carlito. 

Yep, somebody is about to be without a contestant.

Well FC, I just thoroughly enjoyed Rion's performance. First time in a long time.

Cool!!  I love her voice!! AND HER HAIR!!!!!!!  Have I mentioned the HAIR???!!!

IMO Carlito is ruining his chances going R&B and not Latin and he is terribly off key.

Yes FC, I think you have mentioned the hair a couple of times ...........    

Not Carlito's best vocal but he sure works the room .......

I always find him off key

Aw, so sad.  I think Carlito is yucky.   Good luck to Rion.

  Didn't see that coming!!  

She did herself proud. Many 13 year olds fall apart at that moment. She didn't.

Carlito will probably go next week. It's not going to shock me to see both Simon's groups in the Final.

Yep Canear I think the finals will be

Alex and Sierra

Restless Road

Jeff Gutt

Unless Carlito goes after the Hispanic vote and nails a Latin song he is toast.

Rion did do herself proud.

WOW E3 has 24 dates on their tour and are even coming to Toronto and Montreal. Pretty impressive!

Hathor- I agree with you. In that exact order starting with Alex and Sierra.

My dad turned on the show last night just as Restless Road was singing Wake Me Up and they were amazing on it.

Shannon   

Super happy for Alex and Sierra, Jeff and Restless Road. Surprised about Eliona.

I saw E3and loved there performance. Fell asleep before the signoff. I will have to rewatch my pvr after I get some more sleep.

Ha, so funny to me that you guys like them.  I don't think they sing good, I do not think they are cute, and I find them all conceited and act like frat boys   Never liked them at all.

1D - I am not into them at all, but I totally see the appeal and the talent. E3?  Just do not get it.

Well somebody does since they're making $$ and going on tour!     To each their own though we all have those we don't like........like Taylor Swift.  

I like there surf boy feel. Maybe a bit of a West coast vibe they give off. I bet they will be on Much Music when they come to Toronto as there fambase is a big part of Much Music viewership and will pack the studio.

It will be interesting to me to see how well that tour does.  I guess young "cute" boy bands can always have success for a few years.  Never got the JoBros either.

While I get Taylor is not popular here, her industry success speaks volumes to me.  The public likes artists for various reasons, but the industry is a whole other thing.  She is already in the Songwriting Hall of Fame!  Youngest person ever.  We will see if E3 gets any major award nominations, has longevity, breaks sales records and become international superstars or makes it into any kind of hall of fame.  I have my doubts, but who knows.


Kate, I can't stand The Beach Boys so I guess the "surfer vibe"  doesn't work for me

Fans voted on the X-Factor site to determine what the Top 4 will sing next week.  Here are the winners...........

Carlito got screwed with that song IMO. The Mark Anthony song was much better.

Jeff did great getting the proverbial show stopper Hallelujah.

Alex and Sierra can make anything their own.

RR should do quite well on their song.

Well FC, I think 2 of the 3 E3 young men are adorable. Kirah loves the lead singer and says he is wicked HOT!! The young tweens and teens love them.
If they do not last decades like the Beach Boys did, if they retire in their 20's millionaire I would say they would be satisfied with that.
