Thread: The X Factor USA

Sister c seems very stuck up to me. I don't think America will vote for them to stay. I really hope 1432 stays. The way tonight is going I'm sure Simon will keep sister C.

Sister C was actually good but I feel and no offense they should try gospel/christian music.

1432 is changing their name? Wow. And Lylas is good but is Bruno's sister even relevant?

Thank god they are coming up with a new name. They couldn't keep their original LYLAS because of copyright issues or something.

I don't think so. I had no idea who they were before this naming controversy.


On the results, I see that I need to change my mindset about this show. Here's what I wanted (in order):
Young Adults: Jennel, Paige, CeCe (Willie goes home. I think he's awesome, but the performances he could excel in wouldn't be accepted on this show)
Overs: Tate, David, Jason/Vino (I liked the latter 3 and found Tate boring, but I can't deny that he actually sang well. Jason and Vino can both sing, but they weren't given the right songs)
Teens: Carly, Diamond, Beatrice (Arin goes home. He's probably the worst singer in the competition.)
Groups: Emblem3, Sister C, 1432 (Lyric 145. I actually liked them, but I thought their performance was all over the place and I actually want to see them rap. Astro could do it last year and he was amazing at it)

So, of course, the things I wanted didn't really work out. I'm most sour about the Teens, though. I thought it was clear that Diamond won the survival songs. Arin sang horribly off key at the end of his song, but Diamond kept it steady the whole way through. This is where my mindset needs to change. Who is more commercial, who is more generally appealing? Diamond would have went straight to Disney, but Arin could maybe be another Bieber.

I'm okay with this show's direction, it's just that it was surprising because it's not the direction they went in last year. I wanted more of this:
Rachel Crow - Top 11 - THE X FACTOR USA 2011 - YouTube
Melanie Amaro - Top 7 - THE X FACTOR USA 2011 - YouTube
And less of this:
CeCe Frey: Pop Star - THE X FACTOR USA 2012 - YouTube
Lyric145 Goes Gangnam Style - THE X FACTOR USA 2012 - YouTube

I would be off-the-wall happy if there was a some sort of "Wildcard" show, where they bring back people for one last chance to be in the live shows.

Diamond could of been a great contender for Britney's team she had a nice voice 'vocals' and could of been commercial what the show is looking for. BAD choice.

LA Reid also made a bad choice on keeping the country guy and the tattooed guy over the other two.

I'm team Demi.
