- I won't bother downloading more than 1GB of tonight's episode. So youtube again for me.
- The Top 3 perform All You Need Is Love while they walk into the stage. I love it!!! You can see the rest of the Top 13 and all behind the scene people.
- Tate Stevens performs Please Come Home for Christmas. Because I don't celebrate Christmas anymore and because this is so mediocre,my mind wandered around a bit. Oh wow at that touching clip from his family and all his friends back home. If that didn't make him the winner,I don't know what is.
- Fifth Harmony performs Christmas Baby Please Come Home. I think it's a great idea for X Factor to combine their final result show with Christmas show. After all,Christmas is 4 days away. Oh lawd,their family almost made me bawling. So beautiful!!! I want family with such big love like that.
- Carly Rose Sonenclar performs All I Want From Christmas Is You. Not as emotional as the other video.
- Season 2 recap. Wow Lyric145 got shafted. I don't see their part at all in this video.
- One Direction performs Kiss You. I love this song!! Urgh at their vocal. Zayn doesn't even attempt to sing. He looks different though with new hairdo.
- Carly & Tate duet on The Climb. Beautiful duet!!
- LOL at the country guy winning this show. The southern,midwest and the older demographics clearly helped Tate Stevens all the way to win this show. Good for him!!! I hope he can provide a better life for his family. Can't wait for Carly Rose and Fifth Harmony's music career also.

The X Factor Season 2: Final Performances
- Tribute to Sandy Hook. Wow,Simon has a heart after all,he's crying!! Urgh,Paige is the worst vocalist from this Top 13. Way worse than Cece. Overall,it was a beautiful tribute. Very lovely!!
Favorite Song From The Competition:
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (this song bored me to death. However,Carly did it a bit different,she made it more gloomy a bit. Although it doesn't suit the title of the song,but that's better rather than sing it in the same old way)
- Tate Stevens (I can't say what hasn't been said before,Tate is solid,he always sings like that. I don't know what more to say. Yes,Khloe,it's a brilliant idea to ask him why he's so emotional. Geesh)
- Fifth Harmony (hmm singing the same exact song from last week is risky. The element of surprise is gone. But maybe it's the best song choice that they got. I still love the performance. I hope America won't get bored with this. OMG Mayor Julian Castro!!! This is where politic meet singing show.
Duets:
- Carly & Leann Rimes (wow this is so awkward. It really looked like a very spontaneous performance,with no rehearsal at all. They avoided some of the high notes. Weird!! Although I always love Leann's voice. This performance reminds me to listen to Leann Rimes music catalogue again)
- Tate & Little Big Town (LOL I love this. This is so playful and Tate doesn't look like a contestant at all. He exudes confidence. Great performance. I hope his wife doesn't get jealous watching Tate grooving with that beautiful women)
- Fifth Harmony & Demi Lovato (this is so fun!! I know Demi is not the best singer,but she showed us what a feisty performer she is)
5 Million Dollars Performances:
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (I just can't with this song choice. I don't think I ever like Hallelujah. Maybe only when Jason Castro performed it back on 2008. After that,it's been done to death with no variations whatsoever)
- Tate Stevens (very mediocre performance. The judges comment toward Tate are always repetitive. It's very anti climactic on this one)
- Fifth Harmony (amazing last performance. It's a landslide and not even close compared to the other two contestants. Although this song is overdone song too but they sang it really well and I didn't feel bored at all)
Let's see who's gonna win tomorrow.

The X Factor Season 2: Top 4 Result Show
- I love this group performance of Coming Home. Carly outsang the rest easily,Fifth Harmony did an amazing vocal harmony there.
- Fifth Harmony are safe!! Holy crap!!!! Shocking!!! Yay!!!
- LOL at Britney Spears face. She looks like almost in the verge of nervous breakdown!!
- Simon is so jubilant.
- Bridget Mendler performs. I don't know why they gave the spot to her.
- Tate Stevens is safe.
- LOL Britney & Carly are getting more and more nervous.
- Bruno Mars performs. I don't care about him. Not one bit.
- Emblem3 is eliminated. At least we don't get to see Britney meltdown tonight. The good thing is we're not going to see anymore douchebags attitude from Drew next week. Good riddance!!!
- Also LA Reid departure from this show next season surprised me. But let him leave,they need more interesting mentor rather than ruthless and rigid LA.

The X Factor Season 2: Top 4 Performances
Contestants Song Choices:
- Tate Stevens (Tate is singing about bonfire,the place he and his family plus his friends having a good redneck time. And he's bragging about Missouri. He doesn't need to sing,he already won. No need to even perform tonight. Anyway,the whole performance is just okay for me. But I feel that we're in Tate concert,with the redneck theme and all. He's unstoppable at this point)
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (I think this is her weakest performance,it just doesn't work for me. Her vocal is still great as usual but I felt a disconnect somewhere. I just got bored watching this performance,no moment whatsoever in it. Looking back,I always liked and loved Carly's performance,but this isn't one)
- Emblem3 (the only good thing about this performance is that Wes is very attractive. The rest of it were clusterfuck. I didn't enjoy this at all. Yes,they moved the stage. But their vocal is middling at best,the whole performance is not fit in for semifinal standard. Meanwhile,Drew is the epitome of douchebag)
- Fifth Harmony (that was definitely the best performance they've ever done. Hands down!!! The staging is so perfect,the dress are so cute,their harmony is incredible,I love the whole set up of this performance. Everything clicks perfectly. I hope they will sail past Emblem3 because of this performance)
Song That Will Get Them Into The Final:
- Tate Stevens (I forgot Tate is still a contestant,I feel like watching a veteran country singer on his concert. Really good song choice. Perfect for him at this point in the competition. Great vocal as always)
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (at first I was worried that she gonna disappoint me. After all,David Archuleta owned this song 4 years ago amazingly. No one gonna touch that. But Carly came close to that. Although the high notes was surprising to me,but after that it went really well. The piano at the end was a nice touch. I thought she played piano only at the beginning,that was disappointing,but she played it at the end. So that was really special. Simon's comment made sense but I like this performance overall)
- Emblem3 (really Simon?? Hey Jude??? This reminds me of Lee DeWyze bagpipe performance on Season 9. I was very apprehensive about this performance. But I think this is one of their best performance. Their harmony was amazing,Keaton did his part really well although his movement sometimes was rather awkward. Looks like it's gonna be shocking elimination tomorrow for one of the Top 4)
- Fifth Harmony (OMG this was even better than their version from the Judge's House. The whole thing has been improved big times!! The spanish thing worked really well. This is the only performance tonight that captivated me from the first second until the end. I hope they will be safe tomorrow and compete again next week. I really hope so!!)

The X Factor Season 2: Top 6 Result Show
-Melanie Amaro performs her new single "Long Distance". I don't know what the heck happening to her career. It seems they lock her up somewhere and changing the single so many times. I hope she will get her career started as soon as possible. I like this song. She looks gorgeous.
- Cece Frey is the first contestant tonight to be eliminated. She hasn't reached her potential yet on this show. I still miss the old brunette mean Cece.
- Diamond White and Fifth Harmony will battle for the 4th spot.
- Kesha performs her 2nd single. I hate it. Zzzzzzzzzzz.
- Fifth Harmony performs amazingly well. Stunning harmony,great vocal. I love it!!!
- Diamond floundered,she sang nasally and she sounded like goat. Bye bye Diamond!!
- Britney really looks like a robot. She's keep saying one sentence everytime Khloe or Mario ask her a question. Even robot will have more than one sentence to say than Britney.
- Diamond is class act. Tate Stevens claims the #1 spot again,next week will be interesting. Can Emblem3 break the dominance of Carly Rose - Tate on the top 2 spot???

The X Factor Season 2: Top 6 Performances
Unplugged
- Cece Frey (I thought she did good. Better than my expectation. She avoided vocal trainwreck,but of course compared with the others,she falls short)
- Emblem3 (4 words that came into my mind when I watched this performance: Orange,Creepy,and Bad Vocal. The vocal of the "often shirtless" douchebag is atrocious. The middle one is okay. The left one is awful. Oh snap at Demi's comment that this group has been heavily manufactured by Simon)
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (holy crap,that was spectacular!!!! That Bieber song is heavily autotuned with so much production in it. Carly managed to sing it in her own way and really sang it spectacularly. Truly amazing performance from her. I was blown away)
- Fifth Harmony (I agree with LA,still no harmony from these girls. They're strong solo singer,but they can't seem to sing in harmony. Usually harmony is what makes me fall in love with a group whether it's boyband or girl group)
- Diamond White (her best vocal performance,but I felt a similar performance from Joshua Ledet and Juliet Simms were billion times better than this performance. Sometimes it feels kinda funny seeing a very young girl like Diamond sings older song,I don't get quite the same impression with already trained Carly)
- Tate Stevens (Bon Jovi again??? I'm bored all the way of this performance. Zzzzz)
Pepsi Song Choices
- Cece Frey (I guess it's okay. Somehow I miss the old Cece,with the brunette hair and leopart face tattoo)
- Emblem3 (oh my,I really like this performance. Maybe because everything clicks with this song choice. Really really good)
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (phenomenal vocal,but overall this performance is just okay for me compared to her many brilliant performances. Still,Carly's weaker performance is still way ahead of the rest of the competitors)
- Fifth Harmony (wow,amazing!!!! Great vocal,great harmonies. Really the perfect song choice for them. This is the first time that I like them again since the judge house. Awesome)
- Diamond White (hmm the production is great,her vocal is very good but I don't like the tone of her voice in this song. Sometimes I dislike her tone)
- Tate Stevens (OMG I love it!!! I almost cried watching this tender performance. I love Demi's honesty everytime she critique a contestant,she's not useless like Britney who can't form more than one sentence. I think Demi should be an Idol judge in the future,she gives really good critique. Although she's an awful mentor)
The best performance tonight were: Carly Rose Sonenclar unplugged,Emblem3 Forever Young,Fifth Harmony 2nd performance,and Tate Stevens last performance
- Cece Frey (I thought she did good. Better than my expectation. She avoided vocal trainwreck,but of course compared with the others,she falls short)

The X Factor Season 2: Top 8 Result Show
- Wow Paige Thomas is the first to be eliminated tonight. Looks like she should've listened to Demi's advice to sing ballad again,in order to save herself. Although her performance last night was her best,it's clearly not enough for America.
- I love this performance by Josh Krajcik,I like that song.
- Fifth Harmony is safe,they and Simon are excited. Maybe Simon thought they would've gone home tonight. Cece Frey is safe. Shocking!!!! Maybe she should continue being crazy.
- Vino Alan and Diamond White are in bottom 2. Vino should blame LA Reid for this atrocity!!!!
- Alicia Keys performs Girl In Fire. Pretty good performance.
- Diamond White sang the heck of it. Totally her best performance ever. I don't know what song that is.
- Vino Alan still got great voice,his voice is definitely suitable for this kind of song. But I don't like that he's singing his audition song.
- Wow Vino from #3 spot every weeks is getting eliminated tonight is a fucking joke to me. He should blame and punch LA Reid for all I care. LA totally fucked up Vino's fate because he changed his song. Urgh. I will miss Vino presence on this show. I never thought that I gonna love him so much because usually a man like Vino is not the kind of favorite I like in singing show.
- Diamond White,Cece Frey and Fifth Harmony might as well pack their suitcase right now because 2 of them gonna be eliminated next week. No chance for any of them to break into Top 3 spot.

The X Factor Season 2: Top 8 Performances
- Diamond White (I thought this was one of Diamond's best performance. It's not ballad like usual. She works the stage,she sings in tune,she walks like a pro. Great job!!! Britney saying she wanna dance any day with Diamond is considered an amazing words by Khloe. Of course!!! Looks like Britney not gonna be useful any soon.
- Vino Alan (urgh so boring. LA made a huge mistake changing the song for Vino. I don't like it!! He could lose some steam after this)
- Paige Thomas (holy crap,Paige really looks like a star!! She's in her zone!! Definitely her best performance by far in this competition!! She found the perfect balance between crazy outfit or subdued balladeer. I love it when I see great performance from a contestant that I already written off long ago)
- Fifth Harmony (that was pretty good. I'm still waiting to be blown away by this group as they did in Judge's house. They have been in rollercoaster throughout live show,moving around mostly in mediocre to good performance)
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (OMFG that was the best performance of this season. Truly above and beyond everybody else. And to think that I really hate Rolling In The Deep. Carly did an impossible job for making me love that performance of the most overdone song of the last 2 years)
- Tate Stevens (he changes it up,it's pretty entertaining. Tate is still on the roll)
- Cece Frey (fierce Cece is back!! I hope she will stay after this fun circus. I enjoyed it,to be honest)
- Emblem3 (dunno why,but I don't get it. I don't like the song. It's just going on and on and on. So boring!! They're still good looking guy though)
- Vino Alan (urgh so boring. LA made a huge mistake changing the song for Vino. I don't like it!! He could lose some steam after this)

The X Factor Season 2: Top 10 Result Show (Thanksgiving)
Urgh what a thanksgiving episode. NOT!!!!
- It's good to know that they donate music instrument and equipment to that school. But after that the good atmosphere of this show turned into a funeral.
- Arin Ray is eliminated. No surprise there. Arin hasn't got the chance to showcase what he can do in his music career. Blame it on the wrong song choices!!!
- I love Cher Lloyd performance. Very refreshing!!
- Cece Frey and Beatrice Miller are in bottom 2. Urgh,Beatrice is already crying.
- Cece sang Because Of You so badly on the early notes,but after that she picked it up and slayed the song the best she can. Probably her best performance so far.
- Beatrice sang White Flag from Dido. It's too heartbreaking watching her trying so hard not to cry while singing. Beatrice is too young to compete on this show. She got the talent though.
- Simon sent Beatrice home because she's not ready at this age. And here goes the full meltdown ala Rachel Crow last season. It's not as worst as Rachel,but when Beatrice said sorry to her sisters. I almost cried. It's not okay for kid her age to feel the burden to save her family. Urgh at Khloe asking Beatrice if she's okay. She's not,you damn fool!!! She's the worst host ever.
- Cece,Fifth Harmony and Paige Thomas will be gone next week.
- Top 3 still dominated by Vino Alan,Tate Stevens and new #1 today Carly Rose Sonenclar. It's getting boring.

The X Factor Season 2: Top 10 Performances
It's Thanksgiving week. Lots of melodramatic story tonight.
- Tate Stevens (here we go again,with Tate's backstory about his father couldn't pursue his passion in music and had to sacrifice for the family. I'm sure the southern will vote bajillion times because of this story. Tate still sings pretty good,I must say. He's getting more confident each weeks. I think he's in for the long haul)
- Diamond White (I definitely can relate with Diamond's family situation. Definitely this is the best performance she has. She sang it with so much conviction,I believe every words she sang. Although this is overdone song,Diamond makes it her own. Britney is still useless with her comments)
- Emblem3 (I agree with LA Reid. I also didn't feel any emotion from them. It's just vacant expression the whole performance. Khloe is unbearable with the questioning and saying over and over again that America in love with Emblem3).
- Arin Ray (this is so clusterfuck!! Arin was out of it. It's like his mind is somewhere else. I don't know what the heck happened with that song choice and everything. Could be the producers picking the song choice for Arin or something else. Arin could go home tomorrow. He's just losing the steam each weeks)
- Cece Frey (oh gawd,lethal sobstory there!! Cece could get A LOT of pity votes from the viewers. Her vocal though is the worst she's ever been. Cracking here and there. Ouch. But I give her kudos for trying to maintain her composure throughout the song)
- Fifth Harmony (hmm they are incredible individual singer,but it came to my knowledge that they use less time for harmony. They spent most of their time singing individually. I wish they practice their harmony more)
- Beatrice Miller (Beatrice's story almost made me bawling. Beautiful performance from her. Although I quite agree with Demi that her performance almost similar in that it's always subdued. Still waiting for the perfect song choice for her. For me,Beatrice's best performance is still Titanium on Judge's House)
- Vino Alan (OMG that was amazing!! I still remember Kristy Lee Cook's brilliant version of this song but Vino made this song his own. His performance gave me chills throughout my body. Amazing!!!)
- Paige Thomas (I wholeheartedly disagree with the judges. This is hands down one of the best performance of the night and Paige's best by a million miles. This is the perfect song for her. Yes,she pitchy in some parts but overall this is a strong performance from her. Wow!!!!)
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (impeccable vocal,but I still hate her mannerism and well rehearsed movement. It's like she's being trained all of her life for this. Still,she's the one to beat though)
- Tate Stevens (here we go again,with Tate's backstory about his father couldn't pursue his passion in music and had to sacrifice for the family. I'm sure the southern will vote bajillion times because of this story. Tate still sings pretty good,I must say. He's getting more confident each weeks. I think he's in for the long haul)

- Cece Frey (oh gawd,lethal sobstory there!! Cece could get A LOT of pity votes from the viewers. Her vocal though is the worst she's ever been. Cracking here and there. Ouch. But I give her kudos for trying to maintain her composure throughout the song)
- Fifth Harmony (hmm they are incredible individual singer,but it came to my knowledge that they use less time for harmony. They spent most of their time singing individually. I wish they practice their harmony more)
- Beatrice Miller (Beatrice's story almost made me bawling. Beautiful performance from her. Although I quite agree with Demi that her performance almost similar in that it's always subdued. Still waiting for the perfect song choice for her. For me,Beatrice's best performance is still Titanium on Judge's House)
- Vino Alan (OMG that was amazing!! I still remember Kristy Lee Cook's brilliant version of this song but Vino made this song his own. His performance gave me chills throughout my body. Amazing!!!)
- Paige Thomas (I wholeheartedly disagree with the judges. This is hands down one of the best performance of the night and Paige's best by a million miles. This is the perfect song for her. Yes,she pitchy in some parts but overall this is a strong performance from her. Wow!!!!)
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (impeccable vocal,but I still hate her mannerism and well rehearsed movement. It's like she's being trained all of her life for this. Still,she's the one to beat though)

The X Factor Season 2: Top 12 Result Show
- OMG Lyric145 is going home tonight. Shocking!!! So sad that we won't see interesting performance from them anymore.
- Taylor Swift performs a boring version of State of Grace.
- The bottom 2 are: Paige Thomas and Jennel Garcia. Wow,early spot cost Jennel the votes.
- Jennel performs The Reason from Hoobastank. Very good performance!!
- Paige performs Paradise. The best performance she ever did.
- LA Reid and Britney sent Jennel home. Simon bickering with Demi over who goes first. Demi sent Paige home. Simon sent Jennel home. So much for the early frontrunner!! I feel so bad for Jennel.
- LOL at Tate Stevens being #1 again. The country voter,redneck and southern all power vote for this guy every week. Carly Rose Sonenclar also still maintains her #2 spot. Arin Ray and Beatrice Miller have to count their days since they're going home next week,for sure.

The X Factor Season 2: Top 12 Performances
It's divas night. Lots of overdone songs. Even this show's mentor can't find a great song choice for their teams.
- Jennel Garcia (I think this is her best performance so far. But I really hate this Tina Turner song. It's been sung billion times on any singing show. Britney looks scary with that weird make up)
- Tate Stevens (oh wow,America for sure will eat that up. Great song choice,good performance,very heartfelt and he dedicated it to his wife. What else could he do to make it better? None. Middle America will power vote for this guy. I won't be surprised if he takes #1 spot for 2nd week in a row)
- Diamond White (solid performance from Diamond. She sang it very well,although her voice strained a bit in the higher notes. Definitely better than last week. The judging is getting similar to Idol. Especially Britney)
- Beatrice Miller (I hope there won't be any backlash because of Beatrice's lesbian moms. I wish their family the best in managing what happened on their home's situation. This song made Beatrice's performance dreary and repetitive. She has great tone,but Britney can't seem to find the right song for her yet. Maybe Beatrice should pick the song herself)
- Lyric145 (I'm not feeling it. Their worst performance yet. I hope they don't go home tomorrow)
- Arin Ray (terrible!!! He can't even hit the high notes. It doesn't look like a song that's dedicated to his lover,he squirmed all throughout the performance. Plus,watching Arin already had a crush,it gonna impact the girl votes on him. Arin gonna be in danger tomorrow. Urgh,I hate the mentor's comment to their groups. It's basically pointless)
- Paige Thomas (urgh I don't know why Paige's voice doesn't have melody in it. She sings very flat until the end. Although she made this song her own on this performance. Still,I'm not a fan of Paige)
- Fifth Harmony (OMG Camila's vocal was so sharp in the end. I cringed so hard and shut my eyes. It was unbearable. The sharpest vocal ever that I've heard this year on any singing show. It was trainwreck. With this predictable song,I just can't with tonight's episode. Hero is so overdone. Please retire that song!!)
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (wow huge song!!! The girl screaming like banshee totally ruined the mood of the song and the performance for me. I'm so upset right now. Someone needs to strangle that girl. Shut up!!!! However,Carly's vocal wasn't as amazing as I expected. She still sang it pretty great though. But I expected better from her)
- Vino Alan (amazingggggg!!! This was the best performance of the night. Vino's voice is so soulful. I've been humming this song for a few days in my mind,dunno why. Vino did this song justice. I really really love it. Very shocking considering Vino is not the kind of singer I'm gravitated toward)
- Emblem3 (it's good!! Definitely better than a mess of last week. I think we can't expect a great vocal from them. The only thing we can expect from them is a great performance. But they definitely coasting on good looks so far)
- Cece Frey (the song is too big for her. I applaud Cece for singing this song the best she can. But it's a trainwreck. It didn't deserve the pimp spot of the night)
- Jennel Garcia (I think this is her best performance so far. But I really hate this Tina Turner song. It's been sung billion times on any singing show. Britney looks scary with that weird make up)
- Tate Stevens (oh wow,America for sure will eat that up. Great song choice,good performance,very heartfelt and he dedicated it to his wife. What else could he do to make it better? None. Middle America will power vote for this guy. I won't be surprised if he takes #1 spot for 2nd week in a row)

The X Factor Season 2: Top 13 Result Show
- One Direction first performance was a mess. Lots of tattoo on Zayn arm. Liam looks old.
- One Direction - Little Things performance was AMAZING!!! I love this accoustic side of them. They sang really good. Might be one of the best single from them. I really love it!!
- Bottom 2 are: Cece Frey and Jason Brock. I feel bad for Cece.
- Cece sang the heck of it on her sing for her life performance. Her best performance in a while. I really love it. She isn't that bad of a singer.
- Jason Brock did amazing too. I don't know why they can't sing like this on yesterday. That would've been so much better. Sigh.
- Deadlock!! Jason Brock is the lowest vote getter. His gayness cost him this competition. I love his personality though. Oh well!! I hope he can get a job at Japan.
- Mario and Khloe revealed the vote order. Arin Ray is in #11 place,above Cece. He should be very afraid. Lyric145 position is too low. Emblem3 isn't that popular as I thought. I'm shocked at Vino Alan #3 position. LOL at Tate Stevens being #1 on vote getter,the middle america and southern definitely voted so hard for this country guy. American Idol demographics already hijacking this show as we speak. LMAO.

The X Factor Season 2: Top 12 Performances
I didn't bother to download this episode. So,youtube was the only way to go for me. Very efficient and easy!!!
- Arin Ray (the best performance from him. He got swag,he sang really good,great stage movement. Britney looked super excited)
- Paige Thomas (amazing entrance from the ceiling,stunning dress,I'm not a fan of Paige's vocal though. I guess she improves after last week)
- Vino Alan (OMG amazing performance. Very passionate!! I didn't know he had it in him. I'm very impressed)
- Emblem3 (urgh a mess. I don't like a medley of 3 songs combined into one with One Direction background song. Chaotic!!!)
- Beatrice Miller (why Britney turned Beatrice into this confusing personality. Let her do her thing. She had amazing performance on judge house. Don't turn her into a ballad singer. Bravo for her lesbian moms)
- Jennel Garcia (Demi is an awful mentor. I don't get this persona of Jennel. Really mediocre)
- Tate Stevens (Tate's backstory really moved me,but I prefer his last week's performance rather than this week. I don't think this song suits him.)
- Lyric145 (I thought they gonna destroy their crediblity even further,but I was wrong. Interesting performance from them. They're not boring at all. Can't wait to see what their performance will be next week)
- Diamond White (Simon brought her back as wildcard,and she sang the exact same song choice as Melanie Amaro last year. Zzzzzzzzz. This song should be banned forever)
- Cece Frey (Cece is unrecognizable. What happened to brunette fierce Cece??? Where is she??)
- Carly Rose (great performance. One of the best of the night beside Vino Alan.)
- Jason Brock (I Believe I Can Fly??? Seriously????? Another zzzzzzzzzzzzz. LA Reid is stupid for picking this dreadful song.)
- FifthHarmony (Camille's vocal was so weird for the first verse. Not suitable at all. After that it's getting better. The harmony was good)

The X Factor Season 2: Top 16 Result Show
Gawd,I completely forgot to blog about last week's result show. It took forever to download this episode,and with so many things going on in my life. I barely have a time to blog this. Here's my opinion about last week result:
- Cece performed really well. I'm glad that Willie Jones got eliminated. He's the weakest link in Demi Lovato's group.
- OMG David Correy's performance of Since You Been Gone was amazing. Although he looked desperate as his live show performance. Jason Brock did pretty good. It's shocking that LA Reid cut David Correy. I thought he got the best chance to win this competition from LA's group.
- Hmm I thought Arin Ray's performance of that Whitney Houston song was decent. I didn't care about Diamond White performance,tbh. Good decision for Britney.
- Sister C is so wooden on stage. They're like robot. I just didn't feel anything when watching them perform. Sad,they have pretty good vocal. 1432 did way better than their live show performance. I won't miss Sister C. They disappoint me.
- Oh lawd,Simon gonna change 1432 name again. LOL.
To be honest,I already forgot lots of things from last week's episode. X Factor just didn't do it for me as Idol does. It's hard to remember any of the performance. Plus,I have lots of things on my mind nowadays,so usually I lose my focus when watching this show.

The X Factor Season 2: Top 16 Performances
It took me more than 17 hours to download this episode. Crazy!!!!! Maybe I'll just check on youtube for the next episode. This episode was underwhelming,the song choices were atrocious,the performances range from bizarre to mediocre. Khloe Kardashian looks nervous.
- Paige Thomas (oh god,she looks like Rihanna. Without the charisma. I didn't feel this performance at all. Great custome,but underwhelming opening for the show)
- Arin Ray (why Britney gave him The Supremes song? I commend him for rearranging this dull song. But overall it's just okay)
- David Correy (wow this one was a surprise. I'd never think David singing this song ever. He did a pretty good job. Although I agree with Simon,he sounded desperate)
- Sister C (they have no sob story. It must be pretty nice living without any major problems whatsoever. I'd want some of that. The performance was okay for me. Their vocal got overwhelmed by the production)
- Jennel Garcia (OMG this song!!!! Jennel's vocal was terrible. Maybe she wasn't hearing herself correctly. It just didn't work for her)
- Diamond White (the weakest performance so far. Britney can't pick more awful song choice than this. It looks like a joke)
- Vino Allan (I didn't understand why LA Reid gave him a rock song. I felt it pointless to sing a song in the genre that Vino can't identify with)
- Lyric145 (LOL at Gangnam Style mash up. Even Britney looked shocked. Weird hip hop song,but compared to the others,this one was good)
- Cece Frey (I don't like Cece in blonde hair. Wrong song choice for her. Could be better)
- Tate Stevens (easily the strongest vocal performance so far. I'm shocked. I really liked it)
- Beatrice Miller (trainwreck. She's so nervous,her vocal suffered,she couldn't relate with the song. Britney looked like in the verge of meltdown)
- Jason Brock (he took out the fun from this song. This performance really looks like the joke performance on UK X Factor. I bet the middle America hated this)
- Lylas/1432 (I don't get the new name. Urgh. Awful song choice. After an amazing performance at the judge house,I was really disappointed with this)
- Willie Jones (I tuned out completely on this performance)
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (good song choice,but Carly sang it in a weird way. Like she's not comfortable with this. Pity!)
- Emblem3 (so much confidence & charisma. Although they have mediocre vocal and harmony. I didn't love it as much as I wanted to. The vocalist in the middle is really hot. They could be in the Top 3)
- Paige Thomas (oh god,she looks like Rihanna. Without the charisma. I didn't feel this performance at all. Great custome,but underwhelming opening for the show)

The X Factor Season 2: Top 16 Disastrous Announcement
I forgot to blog about this. After a huge fail last week to announce Top 16 because of rain and baseball show. This week they finally revealed the whole Top 16. I don't know why they cut it into 1 hour. I thought the west coast haven't seen last week's episode. Let's discuss about the judges teams.
Britney's Teens:
I was glad that Britney chose the perfect 4 person from her team. I can't wait to see Carly Rose Sonenclar,Beatrice Miller and Arin Ray blow us away in the live show. Diamond White isn't bad herself. I was shocked that when Reed Demming got eliminated he said it's funny how life works or something like that. 13 years old isn't supposed to say wise words like that. It's creepy how these kids are so precious and acting like an adult.
LA Reid's Over 25's:
The most underwhelming category. David Correy and Vino Alan scare me,they look like prisoners. I hope they can deliver great performances in live show. Tate Stevens is just like an ordinary Garth Brooks. The only one I can count from this group is Jason Brock. I hope he let his freak fly on the live show. I still wish all the best for all of them. I know they're trying so hard to make it for their family and all. Pity that Tara Simon is just delusional.
Demi's Young Adult:
WTF she let Willie Jones in the Top 16?? I was beyond pissed that Jillian Jensen got cut. She killed her Gravity performance in front of Demi and Nick Jonas. I don't have a freaking clue why Demi cut her. Is it because she and Jennel Gracia are gunning for the same voting block?? Watching Jillian crying,her bullies must've been smiling. Urgh. Paige Thomas is so mediocre lately. I'm excited for Cece Frey. She has it factor and she brings the fun on this show. Oh well,let's see if Demi choices are right. Oh btw,I also feel sorry for Demi's group that they couldn't experience what other groups experienced in terms of mansion and big pool.
Simon's Groups:
Of course,Lyric145 is going through to Top 16. Cant' stand Emblem3. Why that guy going shirtless again??? I was upset this episode got cut at this point last week. After this week,I'm super excited that SisterC is going through. I thought they're got cut in the spoilers. They have great vocal though. Lylas are also going through. Awesome vocal performances from each of them. I don't want to see Playback's mediocre existences compete in the same level with the other 3 groups. They should break up again and pursue their own solo career.

The X Factor Season 2: Judges House Part 2
Tonight was a bit surprising. I thought I was gonna be underwhelmed by the teens,but I wasn't. I'm very impressed with almost all of them.
- LA Reid & Justin Bieber (Over 25's Category)
- Jason Brock (I feel you,Jason. I can relate with your story. I don't know whether his performance is good or not. It's just okay for me. Good song choice though)
- David Correy (this is the first time that his performance touched me. I really felt it. Probably the best performance from his category)
- Daryl Black (so sad that he just got few seconds clip. I like his voice. But he's going to be eliminated for sure)
- Tate Stevens (great song choice. I agree with the mentors,I don't know if this is 5 million dollars act. But maybe the country music industry will eat him up)
- Vino Alan (wow tragic background. He gave powerful performance. Really strong!! I don't think viewers will like him though)
- Tara Simon (awesome song choice,she sang it well. Although she's very annoying and delusional. If she makes it to live show,the viewers won't vote for her)
- Britney Spears & Will.I.Am (Teens Category)
- Diamond White (I heard this song so many times back then. Diamond totally made this song her own. I think this is her best performance yet)
- Reed Deming (why're these kids so focused and driven?? It's so scary!! They're almost like 40 years old people trapped in kids body. I never like Reed,but I like this performance. He's not cut it for the live show though)
- James Tanner (for sure cannon fodder,I'm intrigued by him however. He needs to gain more experience to be a great rapper)
- Arin Ray (OMG amazing song choice!! Arin totally impressed me with his vocal and charisma. I think he's the next Chris Brown or Usher. Very markettable!!)
- Beatrice Miller (the pressure is getting to her. Again,another great song choice. These kids picked the most current song choice. I love it!! Beatrice did an awesome job singing this song. I hope she makes it to live show)
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (I don't know why they intend to make rivalry between Carly and Beatrice. Carly sang like a veteran singer. But I hate her movement and mannerism. Can't stand watching that. With that exception,her vocal is amazing)
Overall,pretty strong night for Britney's team. Although,no one came close to Drew's It Must Have Been Love performance a year ago. That was just pure fantastic performance. I didn't get that from this year contestants. Sigh. Oh well,I hope in the live show there's gonna be performance like that.
- LA Reid & Justin Bieber (Over 25's Category)
- Jason Brock (I feel you,Jason. I can relate with your story. I don't know whether his performance is good or not. It's just okay for me. Good song choice though)

- Arin Ray (OMG amazing song choice!! Arin totally impressed me with his vocal and charisma. I think he's the next Chris Brown or Usher. Very markettable!!)
- Beatrice Miller (the pressure is getting to her. Again,another great song choice. These kids picked the most current song choice. I love it!! Beatrice did an awesome job singing this song. I hope she makes it to live show)
- Carly Rose Sonenclar (I don't know why they intend to make rivalry between Carly and Beatrice. Carly sang like a veteran singer. But I hate her movement and mannerism. Can't stand watching that. With that exception,her vocal is amazing)
Overall,pretty strong night for Britney's team. Although,no one came close to Drew's It Must Have Been Love performance a year ago. That was just pure fantastic performance. I didn't get that from this year contestants. Sigh. Oh well,I hope in the live show there's gonna be performance like that.

The X Factor Season 2: Judges House Part 1
Tonight began with putting some contestants into different category. Very predictable in my opinion!! Contestants who got a lot of airtime got through. Also with some cannon fodder. I'm wondering where is Panda Ross?? Why's she been missing all this time?? She could've been TV gold for this show. I'm wary about the groups because I don't find chemistry on that new boy group.
I find LA Reid's tantrum not believable. Tired of seeing fake drama and all on any singing show. Thank god for Demi. She's the only highlight from this show. Her presence on the panel makes this show A LOT more enjoyable for me. When the contestants arrived at the judges house,I bet some of the groups don't know who's Marc Anthony is. I can't believe that Dope Crisis really like Marc Anthony music. Really??? I feel so bad for Over 25's. LA Reid don't care about them. And they must be disappointed seeing Justin Bieber as the guest mentor.
Here's my opinion about the judges house performance:
- Demi Lovato & Nick Jonas (Young Adult Category)
- Jennel Garcia (I agree with Demi. Maybe her advice made her more nervous and self conscious. Not her best performance)
- Willie Jones (urgh,why he sang the same song from boot camp. He's just a total gimmick singer for me. Mediocre all around)
- Jillian Jensen (I always love Gravity. Jillian sings this song with different interpretation,that I almost felt like hearing this song for the first time. Another one of her great performance)
- Nick Youngerman (I'm not complaining seeing him taking a shower in front of camera at the beginning of tonight's episode. So hot!!! But his performance is so awful. I don't get it at all. He's not that bad,but I cringed so hard watching his performance. Something about it is weird,dunno what. Maybe his facial expression or something else)
- Paige Thomas (I felt she did pretty good,dunno why she criticized herself. I liked her take on this Chris Brown song)
- Cece Frey (Cece embodies X Factor to me. She's gorgeous,she got confidence and even though she's not the best vocalist,but she got enough quality in her to make it as a superstar. I'm ambivalent about her take on this LMFAO song. But this is the first time she showed likability to me)
- Simon Cowell & Marc Anthony (Groups Category)
- Playback (I know Josh Meltzer from Majors & Minors. So I specifically rooting for him. But I feel so bad that this performance looks very amateurish right now. They each sang pretty good but the whole movement is so awkward)
- Emblem3 (i'm beaming with joy watching these 3 boys crashed and burned. They're so arrogant. Everytime I see these boys,I hate them even more. They're not making themselves any favor with constant cocky comment that they uttered to other groups. And one of the boys shirtless attempt can't convince me to like them. I hope they get eliminated. They're not that good anyway)
- Sister C (they always delivered amazing vocal,but right now this performance is so stiff and wooden. It's like I don't care to find out more about them. They need to work on their personality,so it'll portray well to the viewers at home)
- Lyrics145 (OMG this is the best performance of the night easily!!! Who knew they could be this great. This performance made me an instant fan!!)
- Dope Crisis (cannon fodder)
- Lylas (I've never seen a group with so many amazing vocals between each of the members. I love the girl with black dress on the left side. Amazing vocal. They could be the one to beat)
The best performance of the night: Lyric145,Jillian Jensen,Lylas.

The X Factor Season 2: Boot Camp Part 2
Simon shamelessly copying The Voice's Battle Round segment into his own show. But I think this add good enough drama to watch.
- Tara Simon vs Jennel Garcia: I agree that the song really didn't suit either of them. Jennel sang too low while Tara embellished the song too much. Urgh.
- Beatrice Miller vs Carly Rose Sonenclar: it's weird watching 13 years old girls compete on this show. It seems they are too young although both of them have big enough talent. I like Beatrice on this. While Carly seems to be mimicking for me. She hasn't got her own style.
- Vino Alan vs David Correy: meh on both of them. David's tattoo still creeps me out. Vino needs to learn to handle his emotion in front of the judges. Scaring Britney isn't a good idea.
- Diamond White vs Dinah Jane Hansen: Dinah really impressed me tonight with her take on this Kelly Clarkson's song. Although she forgot some of the lyrics,but this is the first time that I'm impressed by her. Diamond is good,but I'm still iffy about her.
- Sister C vs Lauren Jaurequi: probably the best duet of the night,Sister C always outstanding based on the snippet. While Lauren showed how great her voice is. I hope Britney will give Sister C a chance.
- Brandon Hassan vs Reed Deming: awful
- Julia Bullock vs Ally Brooke: mediocre.
- Jeffrey Gutt: terrible. Please send him home.
- Tate Stevens vs Willie Jones: Tate clearly outsang Willie in this. Not even close. Willie is one pony trick.
- Arin Ray vs Normani Hamilton: please Simon,don't put Arin in a group again. He has showed good enough singing ability to be a solo singer. While their take on What Makes You Beautiful is just okay. But I like their chemistry.
- Jillian Jensen vs Latasha Robinson: wow Latasha choked at the beginning of the song. She deserves that by being so arrogant. Jillian sang circle around her. I love Jillian's voice in this performance. While I didn't feel anything on her audition,I was definitely felt something in this performance. Great job,Jillian. I also applaud her for helping Latasha with the words and complimenting Latasha. Class act!!!
- So many trainwreck of contestant forgetting the lyrics.
- Cece Frey vs Paige Thomas: the highlight of the episode. Uh oh,Cece insisted on singing a song that Paige didn't know. I can relate with what Paige said to the judges regarding her motivation. I feel bad though that she sang so badly. Cece is better than her in this duet,but it's her worst vocal performance to date. Seriously,I could watch the rivalry between these two for hours!!!
Can't wait for judges house next week. 1 hour is too quick for boot camp.
