Disney queen Bridgit Mender brought her frothy pop smash ‘Ready or Not’ to tonight’s (Dec. 13) elimination episode of ‘X Factor.’ Looking sexy and sweet in a black tank, black shorts and thigh-high black boots, the 19-year-old blond diva-in-training turned in a punchy performance, complete with just the right sprinkle of sass. Mendler certainly has [...]

On tonight's (Nov. 14) live performance episode of 'X Factor,' the remaining contestants were tasked with performing diva songs. While the judges on these shows often steer contestants away from performing songs by Mariah, Whitney and Celine, they encouraged it tonight.

CeCe Frey Doesn't Want to Be 'All By Myself' on 'X Factor'

Gina Vespa — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 03:23:04 +0000

There are no guarantees when it comes to ‘X Factor,’ and CeCe Frey is well aware of that. “I am in dire need of a comeback,” the contestant said during tonight’s episode (Nov. 14). “I need to remind everybody that I do have the talent to be here.”

Gina Vespa — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 03:06:29 +0000

Vino Alan showed his soulful side on ‘X Factor’ tonight (Nov. 14) with his version of Al Green’s ‘Let’s Stay Together.’ But does he have what it takes to win America’s vote? The judges had mixed feelings about his performance. “Your voice is so soulful…it doesn’t make sense that that voice comes out of your [...]

Alexandra Capotorto — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 02:13:38 +0000

There's a multitude of live results shows airing tonight -- okay, maybe two isn't a multitude, but you get the picture. Both 'X Factor' and 'The Voice' will go head-to-head in a live results battle of epic proportions, probably much to the dismay of Simon Cowell.

One Direction Perform 'Live While We're Young' + 'Little Things' On 'X Factor'

Amy Sciarretto — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:57:05 +0000

O to the M to the F to the G. Tonight's (Nov. 8) elimination episode of 'X Factor' started off with a bang of the One Direction sort. The boys opened the show by performing their crazy-catchy smash 'Live While We're Young.' We've been waiting (semi-impatiently, we'll admit) for the lads to bring the song to prime time TV in America and oh, how they brought it.

'X Factor' Boot Camp Recap: Contestants Pair Off + Sing the Same Song

Amy Sciarretto — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 01:46:38 +0000

On tonight’s (Oct. 4) Boot Camp episode of ‘X Factor,’ the contestants were given their second task, which was to face off against one another on the same song. They were literally fighting for their lives. Most of the pairings were complimentary. It made us wonder if the producers and judges were seeing who worked [...]

The audition rounds are over and 'X Factor' is moving full steam ahead with the boot camp phase, where the men will be separated from the boys, the women from the girls, the musical wheat from the chaff. By the end of the week, only 24 contestants will remain out of 120. Only the strong survive.

Alexandra Capotorto — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 01:31:39 +0000

Boot camp has begun over on ‘X Factor,’ and because of the presidential debate, the typical two-hour Wednesday installment was crunched down to a simple hour, but at least they were able to bring some drama! Part One of boot camp required each of the contestants who managed to get three or more yesses to [...]

Up next on 'X Factor' was 36-year-old single dad Jeffrey Gutt. We first met Gutt outside with his son chatting up another father who brought his young son along with him.

Alexandra Capotorto — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 01:20:12 +0000

'X Factor' auditions continued as the gang of judges headed down south to Greensboro, N.C. Britney Spears admitted she felt at home there because she's from the south, and the weather was very reminiscent of her home state of Lousiana, but we all know this is the episode where lightning strikes and Spears freaks out, something we're very much looking forward to!

Willie Jones was the first to audition. With a Kid n' Play haircut and dressed in jeans, a jean vest, and a plaid button down hanging around his waist, Demi Lovato said he looked like the fresh Prince of Bel Air, and she was spot on. But as we were waiting for Jones to thrill us with something fast and loud, he opted for 'Your Man' by Josh Turner, a country song.

Amy Sciarretto — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 02:35:56 +0000

Jessica Spinoza hails from the south side of San Antonio, Texas. Her impoverished upbringing ain't stopping her, and an 'X Factor' win could change her family's existence. On tonight's (Sept. 19) Austin, Texas audition episode, she sang Pink's 'Nobody Knows.' While nobody knew Jessica before, she made sure to turn in a performance that will change everything for her overnight.

Did Panda Ross 'Bring It On Home' on 'X Factor?'

Alexandra Capotorto — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 02:22:43 +0000

Before the ‘X Factor‘ season even began, we were shown a woman being carried into an ambulance with an oxygen mask over her face, but we never expected it’d be our beloved Panda Ross! The 42-years-young mom of two was a riot from the beginning. She explained she was there not only to audition and get [...]

Amy Sciarretto — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 02:13:14 +0000

Ally Brooke, 18, knows what she wants. The singer performed an extended play version of Jaci Velasquez's 'On My Knees' on 'X Factor' at tonight's (Sept. 19) Austin, Texas auditions. In her pre-performance interview package, she said she wants the perfume, the clothing line and the superstardom. This proclamation of her future empire was said all before she even sang a note. So how did she do?

Diamond White Proves This Isn't a 'Man's Man's World' on 'X Factor'

Alexandra Capotorto — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 02:05:10 +0000

After a pretty hilarious montage of auditions that weren’t exactly up to ‘X Factor‘ standards, two girls graced the stage to prepare for their auditions. We knew we were in for something good here. First, there was Adrianna, who sang ‘Rumor Has It’ by Adele, leaving Simon Cowell to announce under his breath that “I [...]

Amy Sciarretto — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 01:54:21 +0000

Boy band Citizen, featuring members with body piercings, dipped deep into the '90s to perform En Vogue's 'Let Go' on tonight’s (Sept. 19) audition episode of 'X Factor.' En Vogue? Anyone out there under the age of 25 remember that all-female vocal ensemble? We didn’t think so.

Vino Alan is Anything But 'Trouble' on 'X Factor'

Amy Sciarretto — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 01:21:59 +0000

Vino Alan had the deck stacked against him when he took the 'X Factor' stage at the Kansas City auditions on tonight’s (Sept. 19) episode of the show. He was covered in tattoos, including ink in places you can't hide, like his face and head. He looked like he had done hard time, but when he spoke about his 15-year-old kid, there was a renewed sense of warmth. When he opened his mouth to sing Ray LaMontagne's ‘Trouble,’ we were moved. So were the judges.

'Anything Goes' for Tate Stevens As He Blows Judges Away on 'X Factor'

Carly Rose Sonenclar Slays 'X Factor' With 'Feeling Good'

Amy Sciarretto — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 01:32:35 +0000

A star was born on the 'X Factor' audition stage in Providence, R.I. tonight (Sept. 13), when Carly Rose Sonenclar took the stage and belted out Nina Simone's standard 'Feeling Good.' Big deal, right? A lot of reality show wannabes sing the song while looking for their big break, but not all of them are age 13, like Carly.

Johnny Maxwell 'Did It Big In Front of All These People' on 'X Factor'

Alexandra Capotorto — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 01:25:48 +0000

The second night of the season premiere of 'X Factor' rightfully started off with a high note. With less of an introduction to the show than the night prior, 'X Factor' got right down to it when it came to the auditions.

Viewers were quick to be introduced to 16-year-old Johnny Maxwell. He pulled up in a truck with his mom and was dressed how any cute young man with a sense of style would: t-shirt, vest, and pants. There was a bit of ruggedness to him, which was much appreciated considering all of the Justin Bieber look-a-likes that seem to flock to auditions of this sort.
