I’m in London and starting to get hooked on XFactor. Plus: judges won’t blame contestants on bad song choice anymore (they blame the judge/mentor instead). Minus: it becomes less about singing – too much crappy back stories and emo-editing. Plus: You do end up liking a contestant for their personality – LOVE STACEY SOLOMON. Minus: Bad singers get by for being cute (Lloyd Daniels) or entertaining (Jedward). Plus: Maybe we’ll get to see Paula or some other pop star back as a judge/mentor. Minus: Contestants start ‘becoming’ a persona and appear fake (Rachel).
Michael Slezak is AWESOME!!!!
I pretty much agree that X won’t be as cool as Idol.
But if you think Allison is really going to have a future in music, you haven’t been looking at the Billboard charts.
x-factor is a better show than AI
I LOVE ELLEN & AM SURE SHE WILL MAKE AMERICAN IDOL EVEN BETTER THAN IT ALREADY IS!! NOW I DON’T HAVE TO SEE SIMON & PAULA FLIRTING ALL THE TIME. ELLEN CAN KEEP HER WORDS TOGETHER & LOVES TO DANCE. WHAT BETTER JUDGE COULD YOU ASK FOR?! ANY WOMAN THAT LOVES MUSIC< DANCING & IS CONFIDENT IS GREAT FOR IDOL!!!!
lol fake and boring ?i would hardly call idol boring nor fake.each season changes with the ppl in it.. and xfactor i think will bring somthin different to the usa. im looking forward to xfactor and i think its going to be the new american idol..ive been a loyal folower to idol from day 1 ,but as with everything their comes a time for change and i think xfactor will be it.one question… doe sanyone know if the age will be raised in afactor because alot of older ppl can also sing? i know i would try out!
I’m so glad some other people besides myself are looking forward to the X Factor coming to the US. I’ve been watching it online for a while now and it is so much more engaging than American Idol. I think we’ve seen (especially with this seasons lack of talent) its tired efforts over and over again. The X Factor, when compared to the production efforts of AI, wins hands down. With their amazing stage, and the excitement it brings the audience, we will be lucky to have the X factor on our side of the ocean.
well x factor is better than american idol…the younger generation likes it..no one will be watching american idol…bye bye ryan seacrest and ewww thank god i won’t see ellen degeneres anymore..simon plz bring paula to x factor…..
bye bye american idol…i’m so happy ellen degeneres..eww..what were they thinking and kara…come on..the best judge is randy poor randy you better start judging on best dance crew,..cuz american idol is over…hate thet show so boring..i don;t get american..we are much better than britains..we are so entertaining..how come their shows are better than ours….????
X Factor is 10 times better than Idol because the artists put through X Factor are more likely to succeed in the industry. “Leona Lewis”, “JLS”, and “Alexandra Burke” are all tremendously great performers. That doesn’t take away the thousands of American Idol rejects that will try out for X Factor. American Idol has been more of a show of who could get the most votes. The outcome of American Idol hasn’t necessarily been who’s the more talented one, which will change when X Factor comes. The stage on X Factor is twice as huge as American Idol, and come audition time, it will really separate those who are ready to perform as opposed to the shy people with no talent.
wait wait wait. hold on. THERE IS AN AMERICAN IDOL CARD GAME???!!! um how did i not know of this and does said card game come in a Season 8 format?????
