This glorious mess is upon us once more!

 

[botty]

I hear the first episode is going to be really good.

 

[Pkaz01]

wait so who is the host?

 

[Koodo]

wait so who is the host?

They haven't chosen a host yet, so there won't be one until the live shows start. The people in the OP are those rumored for the job, and they might choose two hosts this year.


Shedding a single tear for Steve Jones' departure.

Is it from this season?

Yup. The Simon/Demi interactions look amazing.

ah man i still remember his awkward way of telling the judges their time was up. and the rachel crow elimination.


That promo pic is hilarious btw. LA and Demi are close and then big gap between demi and britney who is touching simon.

Its like they think they are taking photos in pairs or something.

and im calling it now demi gets stuck with the groups or over 30s and gets nicoled after this season.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Steve Jones doing this gig last year was the oddest fucking thing. He was perfect for T4- which is to say, he's pretty god damn vacant.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I won't be watching this, but I hope people upload all of the Britney sections to youtube. I wanna see how she does, but I don't want to watch the show! >_>

You will watch and you will deal.

How about that Homeland S2 by the way? Looking much better than my irrational fear thought it would.

I CANNOT WAIT

I always avoid trailers for established shows, (only watch trailers of new stuff) so I haven't seen it. I hope it turns out good though.

The rumors are that the categories will be changed to:

Solo singers ages 12 to 16 - mentored by Demi Lovato
Solo singers ages 17 to 24 - mentored by Britney Spears
Solo singers ages 25 and over - mentored by L.A. Reid
Groups - mentored by Simon Cowell

I can see Simon being THIRSTY for the groups after One Direction's success, and Demi fits perfectly with the kids.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Demi mentoring the young kids is a good idea. When they get voted off and have a breakdown, she'll be right at home.

Simon is TOTALLY getting groups. He wants that American 1D so bad.

 

[Pkaz01]

yea i think this format is better especially because the boy vs girls aspect is gone that shit is just such a tired format

 

[Dr. Malik]

Yup. The Simon/Demi interactions look amazing.

yep, they are.

cannot wait

 

[kirblar]

Astro/Rachel/Drew/x would have been in the same category last year, and it makes so much more sense this way, especially since the younger ones are going to need to attend school together in the off-hours as well.

 

[Dead Prince]

i missed last season due to shitty sammy tv. will watch S2 for demigod.

 

[paperheart]

I'm so ready for this!!!

I already have it set to record in case I am unable to watch it. I just know that Britney is going to slay my soul as a judge. Demi will as well, because she grew on me a lot whilst I watched the commercials, and listened to her songs on the radio. I'm not just going to watch this for the judges, though, since I'm anxiously anticipating some major talent. LA Reid said that it's going to be about the contestants, and I'm putting my trust in him. If the talent is subpar, and the winner if a major flop, I'm going to give up on these types of shows. They better not let me down!

 

[Kyon]

My soul is not ready

 

[Dead Prince]

i hope they put makeup on britney. she looked terrible on the ellen show.

Have several seats. She looked like an A CLASS Republican Senator who was attending the convention.

SEETHE and stay pressed.

[tj hazuki]

S1 was so underwhelming. After watching the UK version since S5. I only liked a few contestants last year, and the judges sucked. Hopefully this season is better, and looking at spoilers it looks like it will be.

republican???

[Dead Prince]

must be a Sarah Palin fan. That's what happens when you set your standard using her.

 

[Trigger]

Can this season top last season's drama? That Rachel crying and falling gif is iconic tbh.



Oh, and I hope there's lot's of talent.

 

[Kyon]

republican???

lord (´ー&#65344┌

She's republican. But i doubt she cares about politics anyway. She has her own kingdom to run.


EDIT:

YOUR FAVES ARE ALL ON COUNTDOWN say your GOODBYES now before it's too late

Only worthwhile moment of that season. Does Melanie even have an album out yet?

I hope they ratchet up the absurd drama like in the UK version. They take everything like it's the end of the world.

Maybe I'll watch this. Skipped on XFactor UK since Simon left.

Her single is being used for the promos, but I haven't seen or heard much.

Watched the Ellen episode. Poor Britney looked so uncomfortable. Dat chin-to-neck press.

She's promising in the promo clips though.

She's been making goofy faces since forever. This was her on Ellen in 04

Plus it was her first sit down in 5 years so.............

Britney looks genuinely really happy here. She's probably wanted to do the hands in the cement thing at the Grauman Theater since she was a kid or something.

Wonder if her handprints will get all dirty like Marilyn's

 

[Kyon]

Comparisons to Marilyn?

I hope hers dont get dirty :<
