How did everyone feel about the first live show of the X Factor last night??
I have to say, I was VERY impressed. The production level of this makes Idol look like a run down karaoke bar. If this were any other show, I might feel like it was over produced, but I LOVED IT. This show is about transforming unknowns into super stars, and it really shows that with a great mentor, a little styling, and fancy lighting, these people look like pros. That host stresses me out though. I mean, come on. The local news was next. It’s not like there was a reason to finish on time. Calm down, dude.
THE GROUPS. The groups were amazing. Paula brought her A-Game and I adore Lakoda Rayne. I even hated the Stereohogs before and I thought they were fantastic.
But as far as professionalism, the girls blew everyone away. I felt like Simon really knows how to turn a person into a pop star. He looked so WORRIED the whole time, though. I think he underestimated the other teams. Simone whatever her name is actually was kind of terrible. But she looked the part, she radiated star power. The dancers, the production, everything screamed “I am a STAR.” I didn’t love little baby girl but she’s gonna make it. Drew was phenomenal, and I’ve always thought Tiah was the next Rhianna, but man she cannot stay on key. But she looked BA regardless of how it was the weirdest performance ever. Melanie is incredible. The fact that Simon chose a Whitney song means he believes a lot in her and thinks highly of her voice. She didn’t quite reach the power notes but her tone is so lovely. I wasn’t surprised about who he cut, but they were the most interesting girls, the others aren’t “pop” stars and I really wanted another Katy or Rhianna or Britney.
I don’t care about the old people. The burrito guy was awesome. Thank goodness she eliminated who she did.
The guys were okay. Marcus and Astro are definitely legit.
All in all, I adore this show! I don’t know if I can ever watch any other singing show now!
Chuck Bass. I will still get it on with you.
Halloween Costume Idea: Pee Wee German. Thanks for continuing to give, SNL.
Man, I love me some Tough Love and Steve Ward. And I LOVE a good makeover show! But homeboy said something I TOTALLY disagreed with. He was basically hating on hair and hair extensions and he was all like, “Confidence shouldn’t come from your hair.” Or something like that. But seriously, women’s shining glory is their hair! It’s our wonderful, fantastic, beautiful part that makes us lovely ladies and dudes….well, not as pretty.
And anyone who has long, wonderful hair knows exactly what I’m talking about.

“Four years ago, I was just a guy who had a crush on a girl, who had a boyfriend. And I had to do the hardest thing that I’ve ever had to do, which was just to… wait…And, a lot of people told me I was crazy to wait this long for a date with a girl I work with but I think, even then I knew that… I was waiting for my wife.” -Jim Halpert
