Jessie J was pretty good. Cool song. Reminded me of Katy Perry though (but she couldn't sing that even 1/3 as good live)
 
This show can be cut to 10 minutes. Start getting rid of 2 of them every week please. Willow Smith was epically bad. Jessie J was good but that shit was lip-synched... exactly the radio version.

America am fail. How did Stacy get any votes. She was soooooooo bad last night. Beyond the worst of any act. The distance between her and the next worst act has to be measured in AU.

Wow America hates groups.

Shoulda put The Answer through. Everyone loved them.

It was a waste of a category from the very beginning. America has been over groups (especially male groups) for years now and there's nothing to indicate that that's going to change any time soon.

I don't know why people keep trying to make groups happen...

She didn't lip sing. She is actually a really good singer and had some blurps in the song.

PAULA LOSING HER MIND

LOL The host can't count

He counted fine. He thought she could abstain but she cant so hewas just making rule up as he went.


Stereo Hogz going home was the correct choice. I think Lakoda Rayne stands a chance but they need to perform or dance.

If Paula abstained, Stereo Hoogz would still have the most votes regardless of Simon's vote (3-0 & 2-1) The host said that it the decision came down to Simon, even though his vote was meaningless; Stereo Hoogz would lose regardless.

There's this guy, Chris Rene. Ever heard of him? He shouldn't have made it past auditions as he has no vocal talent whatsoever, but America loves druggies.

Simon giving the host the middle finger was classic.

Ah I can barely hear shit in that fucking show. They need to turn up their mics or quit micing the crowd.

I agree. Just standing there looking at the one who's singing is too static. Get some movement.
Click to expand...

Exactly.. they also like to hug each other in their performances..

Annoying as fuck (unless they are naked)
 
Watching now...

Wow, if Katy Perry wants to be huge in this country she really needs to stop ripping off Katy Perry.

But at least she's standing up this time...

EDIT: I meant Jessie J, but I'm leaving that typo as-is.

Jessie didn't lip sync.
 
A few words.

1.Rachel Crow blew it out the box last night.

2.The real eliminations have not even begun yet. Until we get rid of all the groups we won't see how this competition is really going.


oh.. and

3.
Stacey is annoying.
 
I like Lakoda Rayne. They have potential. Not the best singers but maybe a cool group.

Stacey should have went home. WTH is America thinking.
 
Yeah I wanna see Paula's meltdown.

Next season better do justice and give Nicole shitty groups and Paula over-30s. Paula's a choreographer obviously but yeah Nicole's dumber than bricks and deserves the dead weight category the most.

1. I highly doubt he wrote them himself.

2. I don't see him being legitimate except maybe on a Disney channel at this point. "Cute" and "rap" don't really go together.

Drew has by far the most contemporary sound. Melanie has the best technical voice that probably won't sell anything. Lakoda Rayne has the potential to fill a void in the current market. I could see Josh carving out a nice career for himself.

This is the most clueless statement. He obviously writes his own stuff, listen to the lyrics. He is nothing at all like the type of artist that would be on Disney, Drew and Rachel are though. He's more like this artist than anything else who did pretty well for himself:

Nothing about his rapping is "cute", it's more old school throw backs actually which is nice.
 
I don't like how he closes all his raps with "swag". Fuck that shit, somebody needs to kill it already. I'm already hearing some rappers say "I was fly before swag" etc. etc. hopefully it dies out soon.

... omg.
 
Low points:

- Willow sang "I'm the Camel toe."
- Jessie J looked like actual camel toe.
- Stacey Francis was not only safe, but the first name called.

The highlights:

- Two groups at the bottom again.
- Paula's semi meltdown.
- Simon avoiding a deadlock even though Paula looked like she was counting on it, leading to the Hogz going home.

All in all, a meh results show, which is par for course.

Gaga + Madonna night scrapped for Rock theme:

Hollywood Reporter said:
Thursday’s X Factor featured two eye-popping guest turns: Willow Smith, up first with her latest single “Fireball,” complete with requisite pyro, followed by Jessie J, who delivered “Domino” while wearing a skin-tight color wheel bodysuit. Now comes word (via judge Paula Abdul) that next week’s performer is none other than Rihanna. The theme for Wednesday's show? Rock-N-Roll, revealed Simon Cowell.

...

Originally, the theme was supposed to be Lady Gaga and Madonna, Cowell confirmed. So what happened? “I changed my mind,” he said. “What I like about Wednesday’s show was the idea of someone, particularly Astro, using the whole stage without props. And I thought doing Lady Gaga and Madonna could get a bit too choreography-led and also too restrictive for someone like Astro. Rock music gives you a better chance to use the whole stage like we did on the auditions: just you and a huge platform behind you and make it like it’s your first concert.”

For his part, judge L.A. Reid is pumped at the possibilities. “If I were to use the Rolling Stone magazine list of the 500 greatest songs of all-time, it isn't limited to what we think of as rock,” he said. “There's Otis Redding, there's Bob Marley, there's Ike and Tina Turner, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles… I don't know what that criteria might be, but I'm gonna stretch that envelope as wide as I can.”

And one group is starting strategize as fast as they can: the nearly eliminated, Ladoka Rayne. “We're gonna amp it up,” said group member Dani Knight. “We're gonna step up to the plate and find something to show America that we deserve to stay here.”

LA Reid probably couldn't bear to hear the sound of millions of dollars in foregone revenue.
 
Madonna & Lady Gaga? LMAO, how would Astro have fared? I can't even picture that. Everybody else would have found SOMETHING suitable, but Astro? Simon's got his back, apparently. =p
