SIMON'S BACK! X-FACTOR

Yep those girls were very catty last night even though I found Paulina more tolerable.

Some of the performances were way OTT.  Rachel's Alone was good until they started blaring in the backup singers  and turned on the wind machine.  Lily was awful.  She looked her age last night.  I liked Jeff.  He added some good rock to the evening.  

Of the girls, I liked Elliona but she didn't need all the backup dancers.  She needs to slow it down for next week.  Josh is a little star.  The other boys can go bye bye.  Of the groups, I didn't like the girls.  Too frantic.  I still love both the others.  Right now I have to saw Josh has to be the front runner.

IMO Lily and Tim should go.  Maybe Rion.  

Memo to Demi .............. get rid of the blue hair!!!

Looking forward to seeing Selena perform tonight.

Well, Selena ain't exactly a great singer but I know I will enjoy her more than the contestants

Speaking of Cece - this cover of Wake Me Up is GORGEOUS!!!  And she looks gorgeous!  Give it a listen.  Girl can sing beautifully!!

Canear yep Josh is a little star. I hope he is the front runner as I believe he could really
make it.

FC, yep we disagree on CeCe. Her voice grates to me.  

Wish her well.

Oh I like her so much!

Well, it appears that they aren't voting for girls ........... the first elimination is
 

Spoiler:

 
Singing for their lives ...............
 

Spoiler:

I agree FC!!

How do you do that spoiler thing?

I agree.

.......and Demi, America didn't vote for the girl who went home because they don't like her! She shouldn't have been put through in the first place.

She rubbed people the wrong way during auditions I know, but she was one of the best vocalists in the competition for sure. 

Hathor, after you type your post highlight it.  Then click the spoiler button in the menu grid.  Then click INSERT and paste what you copies.

FC I agree, the bottom two did not deserve to be bottom 2. Tim and Lily or Carlito all sucked sucked sucked.

I thought the girl group was good and better than 5th Harmony who sucked sucked sucked last night.

But matters not as none of those who went home had a chance at winning.

No they wouldn't win, but they did deserve to stay and have more fun for awhile over the total suckage that others are.  Tim belongs with Up With People!  He is as old fashioned and corny as Clay Aiken!    But Clay was funny so he had that.  I feel bad for Rachel.  She sang the song great.  They just shouldn't have had the wind machine and outfit and clinging to the gate.  She looked completely uncomfortable.

I like 5th Harmony's talent. Their songs are horrid! I was planning to buy their CD until I heard some songs!!

Except for 5th Harmony I agree. Tim just can't go soon enough. When he was cut I cheered then
Paulina cut the adorable Timmy and brought back Tim. WTF really? Zero marketability, horrible voice, no charisma etc.

Clay IMO had charisma and a beautiful voice.

Yes, Clay has a beautiful voice.  I just meant the old fashion hard to market aspect.  I don't think they had a clue what to do with Clay after Idol.  Especially since he truly wanted to record old songs and Xmas songs.

I liked the girl group. Was hoping Rion and Tim would go home. Also so glad Rachel is gone. Good voice but something about just is off. Maybe she reminds me of Pia Toscano, No way is she country.

I'm glad the girl group is gone because now Simon can hopefully focus more on Restless Road.  I didn't like 5th Harmony's performance at.all.  I liked Selena's.  If Tim wins this, it truly will be the end of X-Factor US.

I find Selena's voice rather weak, but she is fine to watch.

UKXfactor gets Robbie Williams


and we get stuck with Selena

Oh Robbie would have been soooooooooooooo much better!!!!!!

Tim's got a good voice, but Demi is right, he doesn't have "the X Factor."  My guess is he'll be gone in the next few weeks. I think if the judges hadn't been so hard on him, he may have gone out this week.

I like that kid Luke Friend on the British X Factor.  He kinda reminds me of Jason Castro.    I'm rooting for Alex and Sierra on the American version.

I like all the groups this year.

I like Jeff and see real promise in Josh.

The girls are the low point but I do like Khaya Cohen.

Badger please bring a tubie over of Like so I can see. Love love love Jason Castro!!

I like Alex and Sierra too.

I like Josh a lot, restless road, so many good ones this year.

I've always loved Robbie! I wish he had more success here in the States as he seems to have in the UK and basically the other side of the world on a whole.

Badger, Luke does have the piercing blue eyes of Jason, the dimples and the clear skin.
I like Jason's voice better.

Khaya was spectacular in the singoff.  She is a unique talent for sure.  She needs to work on her stage presence though.  Alex and Sierra are so awesome.  Alex is so strong on stage for Sierra.  She isn't totally comfortable singing as she is dancing.........but the longer they are there, the better she will be.  I believe there are some real talents this season.  If they cut back on the OTTedness in production I think the show would do better.
