X Factor New Zealand: Season 1: Top 4 Perform: Love and Heartbreak/The Best of Rock
16 August, 2013 9:55 PM
To everyone's shock, judges
favourite Cassie Henderson was cut from the competition when facing
Whenua Patuwai in the B2. The judges were unable to reach a decision,
reverting to the public's choice. The RnB belter remained and now, the 4
final acts must face each other for a place in the final. Who'll leave
tonight? ... It's time to face the music!

X Factor New Zealand: Season 1: Top 5 Perform: Coke Choice
16 July, 2013 6:56 PM
Mel said goodbye to her beloved girl group Gap5 last week after showing an oustanding incompetence to properly mentor them. 5 remain now and this week, the finalists will perform songs from the year they were born. The songs were chosen by the fans, so obviously, they've done a better job than the judges. Who'll go home before the semis? ... It's time to face the music!

X Factor New Zealand: Season 1: Top 6 Perform: Made In America

Two of Ruby's acts faced during last week's B2, with quirky Tom Batchelor ultimately eliminated after the judges saved the charming Benny Tipene. Only 6 remain now and with just weeks away from the final, the stakes are higher than ever. Who'll be heading home tonight? ... It's time to face the music!

X Factor New Zealand: Season 1: Top 7 Perform: Songs from the Movies
25 June, 2013 6:30 PM
In the first shocker of the season, the remaining Over 25, Anna Wilson, was eliminated last week, leaving former Australian Idol winner Stan Walker with no act left in the race. Mel's girl band, Gap5, found themselves in the B2 one more time, yet the girls were saved by majority vote. We'll be listening to songs from the movies tonight, so will it be a blockbuster or a major flop? ... It's time to face the music!

X Factor New Zealand: Season 1: Top 8 Perform: Top 40
18 June, 2013 10:48 PM
It was another bad week for Brit Mel Blatt as her much hyped girl band Gap5 had to sing for their lives against powerful singer Māka Fiso. It was Stan Walker who ultimately lost his act but Mel won't forget easily. Also saying goodbye, Fletcher Mills, whose run on the show hasn't been easy, to say the least. The remaining 8 contestants will take on Top 40 hits tonight. Will the judges pick the right songs for their acts? Has Mel learnt her lesson? (Don't count on it) ... It's time to face the music!

X Factor New Zealand: Season 1: Top 10 Perform: Soul Classics
10 June, 2013 7:26 PM
Not even Best of British week could save Mel from losing one of her acts as struggling rap duo L.O.V.E were sent packing after facing fellow category act Moorhouse. This week, two contestants will be heading home, with the pressure higher than ever, will we have a shocking result tomorrow? Will Ruby finally lose one of her acts? Will a judge be left with no acts? ... It's time to face the music!

X Factor New Zealand: Season 1: Top 11 Perform: Best of British
02 June, 2013 11:49 PM
While most contestants still keep disappointing us, some early favourites Anna Wilson, Benny Tipene and Jackie Thomas starting to step up to the challenge. Last week, Taye Williams left the competition, news to which Stan didn't react well. The Top 11 will now take on the best of British music and looking at this set list, I expect most of them to bomb. Shall we start?

X Factor New Zealand: Season 1: Top 12 Perform: NZ Music
28 May, 2013 7:58 PM
The live shows began last week when the Top 13 took the stage to tackle #1 hits. Unfortunately, one of them was a flop, as indie darling Eden Roberts was sent packing when facing hip hop duo L.O.V.E. With only a few stand outs, the first night was a big disappointment. This week we are celebrating NZ music month, which was first celebrated on May 2002. Will the remaining acts overcome their jitters tonight?

X Factor New Zealand: Season 1: Top 13 Perform: Number-one Singles
22 May, 2013 10:17 PM
New Zealand is finally getting their own edition of the XF. The show was originally announced on 2010 but it wasn't until early 2013 that it went into production. Hosted by Dominic Bowden, who was previously seen on New Zealand Idol, the show premiered on April 21, 2013. Australia's talented has always been impressive, so we've got to wonder, are the Kiwis equally as good?

Poll: X Factor New Zealand Is a Go!
16 May, 2013 4:26 PM
UPDATE: I've decided to start covering the show! Since this is it's first season, I won't be recapping either the auditions, bootcamp or Judges Houses, just the liveshows. Let's just treat it as an experiment! The first performance show airs May 19!
Almost 3 years since first announced,the X Factor NZ is finally seeing the light of day. Judged by Daniel Bedingfield, Melanie Blatt, Ruby Frost and Australian Idol S7 winner Stan Walker, the show, which premiered today, is NZ's first attempt at the franchise. XF Australia has been quite great the last couple of years and The Voice Australia is a monumental success. Could NZ achieve the same amount of talent? Can the production values be as high as their Aussie counterpart? Most importantly, can it produce a star? As you can see, I'm in a dilemma and I need your help to solve it. You'll find a poll after the jump and hopefully, it'll make me decide if it'll be worth recapping!
