Read my latest recap of American Idol.
There were lots of “Never stop believing in yourself” and “You’re going to Hollywood” comments, and plenty of Jennifer Lopez‘s maternal declarations as she, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler traveled to the laid back, sleepy Southern city of Savannah, Ga. to both realize and crush dreams for 10,000 prospective Idols.

Read my latest recap of American Idol.
Redhead Schyler Dixon and her hipster mohawk-sporting brother Colton auditioned for ‘American Idol‘ last season but didn’t get very far. The judges remembered the sibling combo. Only this time, Schyler came to her audition solo, letting the judges know that her brother was sitting this year out to let her do her thing. What a supportive sib, right?

Read my latest X Factor recap!
Amaro was so overwhelmed by the fact that she won a $5 million recording contract and would be starring in a Pepsi commercial that all she could say when asked how she felt was, “Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.” She could not get a word out since she was overtaken by emotion. We can’t blame her for being verbally flustered, as her whole life just changed in an instant.

The final trio also performed Michael Jackson‘s ‘They Don’t Care About Us’ with the robots from the Cirque du Soleil show featuring the King of Pop’s music. They were stomping, well-choreographed robots with dollar signs on their chests. The trio sang at the top of the stage about a minute in. It was cool and, well, different.

Adding to the pressure was the fact that the final seven had to perform in front of the Jackson brothers, mama Katherine Jackson and Michael’s three children, Michael, Paris and Blanket. Uh, change the title of the show to ‘Stress Factor’ at least for tonight.

Be sure to read my recap of the latest X Factor.
With Thanksgiving on the horizon, the ‘X Factor‘ Top 9 performed songs that celebrated and gave thanks to crucial people in their lives. Two acts will be voted off this week, so there was a lot at stake. We also learned so much about the contestants and their personal lives beyond their talents, so it was an enlightening, eye-opening episode.

Read my post post about Stacy Francis getting eliminated on X Factor.
Part of the problem is the fact that she ping-ponged back and forth between two polar opposite styles. One week she was a hybrid of gospel and soul, and the next a pop starlet wannabe. Her voice, style and age are more fitting for the former, but Francis’ pipes are nothing short of stunning. She hasn’t committed to a style, and it was always in question whether or not she could sell records to the American music fan.

Read my X Factor recap from tonights show.
The fist-clenching Nicole Scherzinger was quite critical this evening, showing disapproval for most of the performers except Marcus Canty. We were also unsure of what was up with that one-shoulder, leather dress thing she was wearing, too. We prefer Nic when she’s kinder and gentler. Oh, and about that forced banter between the judges? It burned at a fever pitch tonight. We guess Rock Week does that to people.

Read my X Factor Recap, where the the Top 11 perform movie songs.
We’re a little fatigued by all the judge’s insults towards one another — Simon Cowell jabbing Paula Abdul over costume choices, L.A. Reid ribbing Simon about his song selections. It’s a bit much and feels somewhat forced — not to mention that it’s distracting and takes attention away from the people on the stage.
