I did not watch X Factor last season.  Started watching this season and to my
surprise I have enjoyed the auditions.  Loved the ones above but also loved
a guy who sang country ... Tate Stevens.

Me too. Last season was kinda weird. With all the categories. Only watched the first 2 episodes and didn't followed.
I enjoy Britney in here. And the auditions are so entertaining.
I love the theatrical 12 year old girl.  :hearts: :lol: Pink Glitter..  :colors :conf:

I'm not a huge fan of Britney on here. I think she could use some vocabulary expansion! :lol: And she's not as critical about the vocals as the other judges, which I guess makes sense because she's more of a performer.

Last audition clips from me! Bootcamp is starting next week.

I don't really expect her to be critical on her comments, but yeah, it would be nice if she speaks more. Other than that, I like watching her.

Do bootcamp results really have to be shown next week? Goodness. :res: They showed really zoomed out shots of contestants from the back at judges' homes, so I'm sure that people can find out who made it. :lol: I saw one person for sure:
Show content
Willie Jones!


Anyway, bootcamp part 1 was a solo performance. Bootcamp part 2 was a duet "competition" (but both people may still make it through so...) between people the judges (or producers?) picked.

Notable cuts in bootcamp part 1: Jessica Espinoza, Trevor Moran and Jordyn Foley

Here are my favourite bootcamp part 2 performances:

Beatrice Miller vs. Carly Rose Sonenclar - "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5v6Jdc_UxNI" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/5v6Jdc_UxNI</a>

Dinah Jane Hansen vs. Diamond White - "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/cqyH4DBEshg" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/cqyH4DBEshg</a>

Latasha Lee Robinson vs. Jillian Jensen - "Stay" by Sugarland

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/KJXRrVf-Dmk" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/KJXRrVf-Dmk</a>

Lots of people forgot the lyrics. I'm a huge fan of Jillian now, especially after she tried to help Latasha (who I thought was being overcompetitive :lol:).

Tara Simon basically steamrolled over poor Jennel Garcia by forcing a song upon her. I wasn't a fan of Tara Simon during the auditions, and I'm definitely not a fan now. If she makes it past judges' homes, she won't be very popular with the viewers.

CeCe Frey might not be very popular either. It seems like people love her or hate her. She basically chose the song, and it seemed like she lied to the judges about the song selection process. This Paige Thomas and CeCe Frey rivalry will be interesting to watch.

The X Factor premiered... sometime last week? I don't really know. I get too bored if I try to watch it on TV, but I watch the audition clips online. :lol:

Simon seems to be less mean this season. I think Demi is a good fit for the show, but I do miss the Simon-Paula dynamic. Britney seems to have fit in well as well, but I feel like she's kind of... off sometimes. Just the way she speaks... Yeah. :lol:

Here are my favourite auditions so far:

Jillian Jensen - "Who You Are" by Jessie J

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/BmUL72dIbTA" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/BmUL72dIbTA</a>

Carly Rose Sonenclar - "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/nU_dBDccruI" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/nU_dBDccruI</a>

These are my 2 favourite videos and contestants too!! <333

ANYWAY, I think Britney is a great judge though!! :hearts:

'The X Factor USA' 2012 Top 24 Spoilers -- Who Makes the Cut?
October 05, 2012 07:50 PM EDT
The X Factor USA 2012 closed out the boot camp portion of the competition with a series of head-to-head vocal battles that aired October 5 on FOX. So which hopefuls will earn one of the 24 highly coveted spots at a judge's home? Here's what research by Vote for the Worst has to say on the subject.

Season two will feature four groups, each one mentored by either Demi Lovato, Simon Cowell, Britney Spears or L.A. Reid. Unlike season one, which divided the younger solo artists by gender, the 2012 edition will divide them by age.

Allegedly making the cut in the 12- to 16-year-old group are Arin Ray, 16, who made the 2011 finals as part of the made-for-TV group inTENsity; 13-year-old voice artist Beatrice Miller; actress and singer Carly Rose Sonenclar, 13; and the popular Diamond White, also 13; 14-year-old JT; and 13-year-old Justin Bieber-lookalike Reed Deming.

Listed as competitors in the 17-24 age group are face-paint lover CeCe Frey; Jennel Garcia, who Demi previously praised for having tons of sex appeal; rapper Lyric Da Queen; and single mom Paige Thomas.

In the 25 and Over group are Jason Brock, Tara Simon, Tate Stevens, and Vino Alan, who inexplicably threw a fit after his on-stage final battle.

Finally, in the Groups category are Emblem3, Dope Crisis, One4Five, and an all-female group made up of solo artists.

So do these spoilers make sense given the show thus far? Sort of. Tara and CeCe's overconfidence borders on annoying and both oversang tremendously during their auditions, so whether or not America would vote for either of them is questionable. And Reed is cute, but not as good as the girls in the group.

And of course, a number of notable names are missing, including Jillian Jensen, who made Demi cry during her first audition, and Jeffrey Gutt, the single dad who poured his heart into "If I Die Young" on October 5.

So who really made it? Watch the next episode of The X Factor USA 2012 and find out.

No Jillian???? :'( :'( :'(

No Jillian???? :'( :'( :'(

The Vote for the Worst list doesn't list (lol repetitive) every person who makes the category at judges' homes. Their list is somewhat incomplete, but it may be an indicator of who makes it through to the lives? I would be very surprised if Jillian Jensen doesn't make it to the judges' homes. The preview for judges' homes shows a few contestants pretty clearly. :)

Preview for next week:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/XZwqzTBsJX0" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/XZwqzTBsJX0</a>

Screenshots of contestants:



Show content
I can see Emblem 3, Sister C and One4Five. I suspect Dope Crisis is also in there, but I don't know what they look like because they haven't been shown. :lol: I also assume that there's a manufactured boyband and girlband.




Show content
I definitely see CeCe Frey, Willie Jones, Nick Youngerman and Paije Thomas (who is blocked by Willie Jones in the screenshot). I suspect the girl with that curly black hair is Jennel Garcia.

Tonight, the people (and groups) who made it to bootcamp were revealed. The teen category was really strong, so a lot of strong girls got cut. Like usual, there was a manufactured boyband and girlband, both of which surprised me with their good judges' houses performances. We saw the young adults and groups perform. Tomorrow, we'll see the teens and overs. Hopefully we'll also see who makes it to the lives. When the videos get uploaded, I'll post some of my favourites.

My favourites from judges' homes part 2. Next week, we'll see who made it to the live finals. It doesn't look good for either Jennel or Jillian judging from the previews... but previews are always crazily edited so...

The first week's theme was "Made in America." Demi is probably the worst judge. She tried to completely change the image of all her acts. :stare Each category had a bottom two, with one elimination.

Teens:
  • Arin Ray
  • Diamond White (eliminated?!?!?)

Young Adults:
  • CeCe Frey
  • Willie Jones (eliminated)

Over 25s:
  • David Correy (eliminated?!?!?)
  • Jason Brock

Groups:
  • Sister C (eliminated)
  • 1432 (formerly LYLAS)

This week's theme was "Songs from movies". Diamond White was invited back because the judges thought she was too good to be let go, or something like that. :res: Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian continue to be terrible, robotic hosts. Britney Spears continues to spew out nothing meaningful (although she's a really good mentor). Demi Lovato continues to be a horrible mentor, changing her artists to be people who they're not. :res: And 1432 changed their name to Fifth Harmony. What name will they have next week? :lol:

With that being said, the top 13 became to top 12 and for the first time ever on any singing show (apparently), the vote order was revealed. CeCe Frey and Jason Brock ended up in the bottom two, and it went to deadlock. Jason Brock was sent home because of the public vote.

Placing:
1st: Tate Stevens
2nd: Carly Rose Sonenclar
3rd: Vino Alan
4th: Diamond White
5th: Fifth Harmony
6th: Emblem3
7th: Jennel Garcia
8th: Paige Thomas
9th: LYRIC 145
10th: Beatrice Miller
11th: Arin Ray
12th: CeCe Frey
13th: Jason Brock (eliminated)

And the standout performances:

Carly Rose Sonenclar - "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars

To be honest, I still can't find that 'clicked' feeling watching the Lylas, 1432, Fifth Harmony, The Amazing Wonderwoman whatever..  :lol:

I get the sense of them being very connect with each other at the judges house...everyone at the judges house was great..what is it that makes them different when they enter the Live show? Crews editing...?

The musical theme for this week was "Divas". Two acts were sent home this week because Diamond White was invited back last week. The act with the lowest vote was immediately sent home and the next two lowest vote getters sang in the sing-off.

LYRIC 145 had the lowest votes so they were sent home. The next two lowest vote getters were Paige Thomas and Jennel Garcia. :ascared LA Reid and Britney Spears both voted to sent Jennel Garcia home. Mario Lopez went to Simon Cowell, who decided to make Demi Lovato pick first. :res: Demi Lovato decided to send home Paige Thomas. Then Simon sent home Jennel. :stare

Shocked that Jennel went so early but I think she'll do well without the show, especially because Demi Lovato is a terrible mentor. :res:

Placing:
1. Tate Stevens
2. Carly Rose Sonenclar
3. Vino Alan
4. Emblem3
5. CeCe Frey
6. Fifth Harmony
7. Diamond White
8. Beatrice Miller
9. Arin Ray
10. Paige Thomas

UHHHHHHH IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE RANKINGS? ??? As far as I'm concerned, Tate Stevens doesn't have a fanbase at all online. Ridiculous.

Ugh, another bad decision. :res:

This week's theme was Giving Thanks. It was another double elimination. Arin Ray was sent home immediately because he was the lowest vote getter. CeCe Frey faced off against Beatrice Miller (:ascared) in the sing-off. Beatrice ended up getting sent home with 3 votes against her. While I do agree with Simon that Beatrice probably wasn't handling the pressure very well, CeCe's sing-off was mediocre at best.

Oh, and Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian are the worst hosts in the history of hosts. My goodness. "Carly Rose Sonenblurg." :groan:

Placing:
1st - Carly Rose Sonenclar :yess:
2nd - Tate Stevens
3rd - Vino Alan
4th - Emblem3
5th - Diamond White
6th - Paige Thomas
7th - Fifth Harmony
8th - CeCe Frey

Here are my favourite performances from this week:

Diamond White - "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion

I think this season is improving as it goes. Last night's eliminations were spot on necessary. I believe that the consistent Top 3 will end up being our Final 3.
Physics alone is not enough.
