X Factor--Season 1

[ladycollector]

I am happy with the judges cuts tonight, but their arrangements kinda sucked. I preferred it when the contestants were picking their own songs.

Anyway... I LOVE Astro and Drew. Surprised to see so many people don't like Astro. I would buy his stuff today if it were on iTunes.

I am so glad Dexter is gone. I was worried she was going to keep him. Sad that Philip left. LA gave him a terrible song to do. Loved Josh and Leroy. Actually I liked quite a few of them. I don't like the host at all. He is rude.

Started watching at 9 after getting home from my class. Didn't know the judges had to send them home this week...I thought it was voting with the audience! Was sad to read that Philip went home. Chris is yuck to me, sorry.

I don't care for Chris either but i can not stand that arrogant little rapper kid- can't stand him or his "music"!

We were 12 for 12 on the picks . It was pretty obvious who was going home and who was staying. I can't believe Simon had Melanie sing a Whitney Houston song. He always ripped on people on Idol that picked her songs to sing . She is very good.

I think Simon was lulling the competition into a false sense of security last night with his horrible song choices for the girls . Paula really did a good job with her crew. Nicole needs help.

I can't stand rap (with a passion!) so that's the main reason I don't like "Astro". To me, rap is not singing, it's talking fast. And his attitude, when he refused to dance, stunk. I just think he's a little brat and really doesn't deserve to be there.

I think Simon hates it when people "try" to sing a Whitney Houston song. They never measure up. But Melanie was awesome, she did justice to the song.

I really can't get into this show. The love fest Simon is showing everyone is enough to make me sick, It's like he's almost the total opposite of himself.

Whether you like Astro's attitude or not, the bottom line is that he is a very talented rapper. Frankly, name me a current rapper who isn't an arrogant tool? And back in the day I LOVED Criss-Cross so I was gettin' my "jump JUMP!" on bigtime. I don't think Astro will win, but he'll go very very far in the competition and have a career waiting on the other side. As for DESERVING to be on the show...yeah, he deserves it....and maybe a spanking or two!

We loved Josh but we were SOO disappointed in the song choice. It wasn't a song, really. It was self indulgent show-offery. You'd never hear that on the radio. SING something. That said, what he did do was beautiful and I look forward to hearing him do something much more interesting next week.

Both Tiah and Simone were all show and no talent last night. They both seemed to think they were Rhianna or Beyonce but had ZERO skill to back up the show piece performances. Whoever arranged that rendition of "Sweet Dreams" needs to be shot.

I will agree he needs several spankings, He's a little brat. He's a kid most rappers are adults, that is a Huge difference.

Huge difference? Arrogant adults start out as arrogant kids. He's well on his way to being a big tool like Kanye!

I agree--just look at "Astro" compared to Rachel, night and day difference. Heck, even the stage name "Astro" is presumptuous. Sure, he is a good rapper but he SOUNDS terrible.

I suppose if you LIKE rap stuff, then he would be good for his age. I'll agree he deserves a spanking!

I was really disappointed in the song Nicole chose for Josh to sing. Still loved hearing his voice though.

I wonder if this show will be like A.I. in that each week they have a different genre to sing.

I don't get the hate on Astro. We don't know anything about hm or the life he's led so far. Maybe he's the way he is because he had to be.

He seems like a nice kid and pretty respectful. He's cocky but I don't know any rappers who don't believe in themselves.

 

[AverageDiser]

Here we go! Not impressed with StereoHogs :S I didn't think they sounded good, esp at the beginning- is it just me?

I didn't think they sounded good either.

 

[ugadog99]

I would so buy Leroy Bell's album! I hate that song, but his voice is AMAZING!!

 

[AverageDiser]

I agree, not my fave song, but he has a great voice. Wasn't crazy about Chris though. Hopefully it gets better!

 

[KathyTX]

Simon should be FIRED as a mentor... That arrangement of "Walking on Sunshine" was bad, and way too loud. That kiddo has a booming voice, but the arrangement just drowned her out!

I had nothing against him (except that I can't stand rap) until he refused to dance during boot camp. If I remember correctly he said something like "I'm not here to dance." And he just sat there while everyone else danced like they were told to do. I don't think that was very respectful.

 

[AverageDiser]

I wasn't crazy about Rachel's arrangement either, or the lyrics change. That said, I don't think she has anything to worry about.

I enjoyed Lakoda Rain, but they were off key a couple of times- also thought the seasons thing was cheesy- a little too Grease II for me..lol.

Yeah, I cringed at a couple points when they missed notes. And the dresses didn't quite work. But their voices are beautiful when the harmonies work, and they look like they belong together! I really like them.

I adore Josh, but this song isn't working for me at all...
