Spoke too soon

So that's 7 people in each group? Ewww

Yay forced groups of solo singers constantly trying to one-up each other!
One Direction over in the UK is one of the most successful boy bands right now and they were fashioned in a similar way.
 
So Simon has the girls? I think Melanie won

(and god damn, she looks like this girl I had a crush on in elementary school ^_^)
 
Nicole could've been a useful mentor had she gotten the groups.

Instead, she got a group of people who seem vastly more talented than her.

lololol

Nicole is talented but with some of them I do agree.
 
They gave the best category of contestants and gave it to the weakest judge (nicole). Groups have no chance I think its down to reid vs simon but nicole has a lot of talented people who dont even need her to win.
 
Hmm, that was a good episode, and the top 36 picks were good for the most part.

Groups are as unimpressive as always, I can see them being worse thanks to the Frankenstein'd groups, as those are usually assured to make it through. So the open spots for the existing groups are probably down to two.

Speaking of groups, I wish Nicole had taken that category. I mean let's face it, mentoring the groups was her only chance relevancy. The over 30s on the other hand need someone who has a mature career and, well, personality. Simone would've been perfect for that.

I have a feeling she's going to pick someone irrelevant, like the guy who called his baby girl at the end of the episode. Did he even get any time on camera? (producers spared us because he probably won't make it, though). Or that Tiger guy, he's a sweet, but unless the show has a major Bear viewership giving him a slot is going to be a waste.

Either way, everyone should get ready for another Gamu-gate next week, Sponsored by Nicole "When I grow up" Sherzinger. I can feel it.
 
Tigers/Brewers game is running over into X-Factor tonight. Is it going to be pushed backed or will it just plop us in the middle of the show when the game is done?
 
So this supposed "Idol killer" can be interrupted by baseball games?

Idol would have said "fuck baseball, WE'RE on now!!" lol

I'm confused because I can;t tell if it is a repeat or not.

I have no idea what you are talking about. lol

What part of the country are you on? (I'm assuming the west coast)

Yes I am. Here's my problem. I watch this show in a a very ancillary way while I'm doing work, so I can;t remember if I've seen this one. They aren't at the mentors homes so I'm wondering why not as that's the description for the show tonight.
 
Yeah, the tv guide description said mentor's house #1, but this was definitely last Thursday's episode. They were picking the top 32.

Quite glad it didn't air though, I only got home an hour ago!

On the east coast, it was cancelled because there was baseball game before X-Factor (ALCS Championship game). It ran late due to a rain delay.

I have no idea what is/was being shown on the west coast. The latest ep is the contestants performing at the judges house, so anything other than that is a repeat.

EDIT: I HEAR (trying to verify) that Canada has shown the new episode. Hoping I'm not misreading anything.

hmmm, yeah this episode is from last week. fucking weird.
 
Fox website is saying tonight's all-new episode has been pushed back to tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night's all new episode will then be shown on Sunday night but it says 'if no baseball'. If there is baseball on Sunday night, who the fuck knows.

They aren't into live shows yet, so it's not really a problem other than just pushing em back farther and farther

It was indeed new on CTV.
Oh, weird. Well, everything is weird in MST land.

Aren't they starting live shows next week though?
 
saw the new episode tonight.

the 14 year old rap kid KILLED his song. so good.

the 14 year old girl at the end was AMAZING...the one who sang the bieber song in her original audition. again, so good.

some lame filler in the middle.

simon, la and paula have nice pads.
 
Watching the episode now

LOL
No Mariah, so Simon is his own guest mentor

Reid's guest mentor.
Rihanna?? WHOA
Paula's guest mentor.
Black contestants: HOLY SHIT, Pharrell! White contestants: Yay? LMAO
Nicole's guest mentor.
Enrique Iglesias? Meh...I was underwhelmed. lol
 
A few thoughts on the latest episode:
-I'm in love with the rugby chick. She plays rugby and she sang "Will you still love me tomorrow" very nicely

-the hot black chick, simone, fucking sucked ass. Simon gave her ridiculous praise though cause he clearly wants to tap that, I don't blame him but come on man. If she makes it to final 4 girls that's dumb

- the older black lady in the over 30s with the good voice butchered Purple Rain. She was just playing vocal gymnastics the whole time, Her audition was nice but boo-urns since then

-the other black lady in over 30s (she was a wedding singer) was awesome. Her song started out as something from the Miami Vice soundtrack with Moby, it was pretty etherreal fo sho

-little rapper kid shouldn't go through to the next round. His 'talents' are all over the internet and personally I've seen better youtube rappers, get somebody more talented if they want a hip hop contestant. If he's any good we'll see him releasing albums with hype, x-factor isn't the forum for him and he...aint that good really.

- justin beiber girl was boring, where's Rachel Crow? Tomorrow's episode huh.

- Frank Sinatra dude was awesome, Rihanna and LA don't think he's commercial enough though....guess they haven't heard of Michael Buble
 
Oh my God, when the girls run toward Simon like a pack of horny hyenas it reminded me so much of America's Next Top Model.

TYRA MAILLLLL!!!! *girls go crazy*
 
Wow. I'm loving the contestants so far.

Drew Ryniewicz
GAVE ME FUCKING CHILLS. Absolutely stunning vocal.
And to have that kind of a tone at 14-years-old. Get out of here
. Unbelievable.

You didn't like that? I quite enjoyed it :)
I preferred the pungent Only Girl in the World cover to be honest* :-0

The show's done a really good job of focusing on the contestants. Every year on Idol, there are more than a few total unknowns even at the semi-final live show stage.

* I think I "enjoyed" it because it reminded me of Kristy Lee Cook's legendary "Eight Days a Week" performance
lol.gif
 
UK is kicking US's ass this year. These US contestants seem so boring. I also don't like
how these rounds aren't solely acoustic. I think that's best for parsing out real singers from good karaoke singers
