The X-Factor: Discussion Thread

The homeless guy should not have gone through going from his last audition. I know that's mean since he's homeless, but it is what it is. So far two of Paula's choices were dumba$$ - the two little boys and the group of ten. L.A. Reid's choices have been okay so far.

[Soapsuds]

I agree with you. The homeless guy...ummm...get a job dude....quit crying your ass off and find work! A lot of contestants are complaining and crying about how their jobs sucks...gimme a break!!

Paula's choices were awful except the last group.

The two boys sucked. They need their hair cut...lol

As for L.A. Reid ...I dont care for that stuck up 14 year old rapper...cant stand that kid..ugh...never voting for him.

The only one I liked that made it was the jazz guy...but he wont win..just because the style of his music.

Simon's choices...ugh too...hate them so far.

[Angela]

The two boys probably sucked the worst out of everybody who auditioned at the homes. I liked two of her choices, the girls and the last group, but the other two choices were probably the most massive failures in choice-making of the night.

He is confident and it can be off-putting, but he's good at what he does. The boys overall were so meh performance wise except for L.A.'s last choice.

I'm surprised L.A. picked him because I don't think he has a chance of winning either, but he was one of the better choices of the boys.

The first girl he put through, not good. Her audition wasn't good. Him putting through the girl he's crushing on? IDK, I mean I think she has something but there were better singers and one of them was just sent home.

[Soapsuds]

The blond girl...she was awful from the beginning. I never liked her. She is the one that has the crush on Justin Bieber. The singer that everyone hates made it through again....what is with Simon? The girl isnt that great. I am glad Rachel made it through but the other girl vying for that last spot should have made it through. She was much better than the blonde girl and Simon's crush.

[Angela]

The one he just sent home was probably the best performance he got.

The blond one. I didn't love her as much as other people did but I think she was a good choice.

I think he's going to tell the girl he just sent home that she's back in.

[Soapsuds]

Thank Gawd he brought her back. He needs to forget about his crush...she sucks just like the rest of the panel said.

[Angela]

For fun, and because they weren't great choices, they should have forced him to send one of his girls back and I would have been fine if he chose his crush or SImone to take out.

Definitely a good move, to bring her back. She really was probably the best girl singer that performed for him at his home.

[Jonathan]

Melanie Amaro was a no? Then Simon flew to FL to invite her. Please. SCRIPTED.

[Toups]

Simon has 5 people now? Don't know about that. Don't think it's fair. Melanie has a fantastic voice but I don't think she has that "X-Factor" and I don't think she's marketable.

I've been saying this for a while now, but Drew is my favorite. I think she has a great voice and a nice look and I see star quality in her. She definitely has that special something. As of right now, I want her to win or at least make it to the final 4.

I think Brian "Astro" Bradley will gave a bright future once he gets older. He's really good.

Yay for Lakoda Rayne! They're so pretty.

Simone is so hot. I hope she doesn't forget the lyrics anymore. LOL

I don't think Simone or Tiah will make it far though because Paula and Nicole don't seem to like them and I doubt they will vote for Simone/Tiah to stay. I think Paula/Nicole will try to get rid of them ASAP.

My favourites in order:

1. Drew Ryniewicz

2. Chris Rene

3. Lakoda Rayne

4. Rachel Crow & Brian Bradley (tied)

6. Marcus Canty

I cannot believe that Christa, Tora, Brennin, and The Anser did not make it. WTF!!

Dexter the homeless guy made it? I'm sorry but He was AWFUL since the beginning! NONE of his auditions were good, not even that overrated first one. He is a joke who does not have his own ORIGINAL identity on stage. All he does is scream & act like Mick Jagger! ANNOYING! Sorry he's homeless but he should not have been put in. I think the ONLY reason Nicole put him through was because he was homeless, I'm sure production had some influence to

What is so great about Drew's voice? I just do not see it Toups. I think she's just basic & boring. Tora Woloshin had a much better voice & stage presence, she would've been amazing on this show. I'm so sad she didn't make it.

Biggest jokes of the night: Rachel Crowe and Stacy Francis. You just KNEW they would make it through. God. I am so annoyed. I really wanted Christa to make it with the rest of the over 30's. She was much better than Stacy and Leroy. And Rachel, nothing against her but seriously?? Just why?? If she wins it's because she's young, cute & has an infectious personality. She will NOT be a star.

Words can't express how happy I was Simon brought Melanie back. She was amazing. That really was so deserved for her! Yes!

Marcus Canty is my FAVE! I am still in awe over his last performance. I hope he makes it far.

I was really happy for Lakoda Rayne! Sexy girls with great voices! They mesh so well together, I can't wait to see them perform again. I hope they go far as well.

InTENsity Seriously? I really thought Paula was going to send that army home! I can't believe they were put through! Same goes for The Brewer Boys. LOL! I am just so sad The Anser guys were told no. They were really great

We'll see about Philip Lomax. I really think he needs to get rid of the crooning all together, if he doesn't then I bet he will be one of the first out. But I do think he's good.

Astro is good at rapping but his attitude sucks. He was another one you just knew would make it through though. I was really shocked that Brennin did NOT make it through. His voice was amazing! He would've been a better choice over Philip.

I totally disagree! I love Tiah and totally get why Simon likes her so much! He should've sent baby Rachel packing when he brought back amazing Melanie.

He is SO forgettable.

Just wanted to quote these names so I could say

[Jonathan]

Simon annoys me. He really think people are dumb enough to believe that Melanie Amaro wasn't one of his favs from the beginning? Just look at his reaction after her last performance.

[Jonathan]

Melanie should've said NO! F'ck you stinky Brit!

[Jonathan]

I'm confused about the age requirements. Tim Cifers who is in the boys category is 30 years old and Josh Krajcik who is in the Over 30s category is also 30 years old.

[Toups]

In the X-Factor UK, there's always a couple of WTF picks or "joke picks". I think InTENsity is the "joke pick". Dexter has too much of a sad backstory to be the joke pick but I think TPTB wanted him because they wanted to see what he can do in the live performances.

And Wagner:

I see big potential in her. You don't need a big powerful voice, like Melanie Amaro, to be successful. Look at Katy Perry and Taylor Swift (both who I like). Drew doesn't have their looks (yet), but I think she has a better voice than them. With the right producers, I think Drew will be successful and the next female teen idol.

What I love about Rachel is that when she sings, she has this little attitude, she's into the song with her facial expressions, and her eyes are just locked into the performance.

Name me a rapper who doesn't have an cocky attitude. There's none because you need that attitude and swagger to be a rapper.
