The Voice Australia Season 2: Ricky Martin Replacing Keith Urban
2:56 PM
Since Keith Urban is stepping down as coach to join S12 of American Idol, there's a spot left on The Voice Australia's judging panel. Seal, Delta and Joel are all set to return for a second season. Today, November 29th, it has been announced that Puerto Rican pop singer and actor, Ricky Martin will be joining the series, in what sounds like a weird addition to the panel. I was hoping they went for Kylie, since she's arguably Australia's biggest star but she probably declined the offer. That means Delta is the only Australian judge, with Seal being British, Joel American and now Ricky, who's Puerto Rican. What do you think of the new addition? Are you excited for S2 now?

X Factor UK 2012: Top 5 Perform: Abba and Motown
26 November, 2012 2:47 PM
The public reached a new low last week by the best two contestants remaining (Ella and James) landing in the bottom two and when Ella was sent home, the public were furious with many people taking to Twitter to complain about the result. Sadly the reality is that if you don't vote, you can't complain. It also means we're left with five acts, realistically with only one (James) being capable of any sort of successful music career after the show. The series has messed up big time and it's going to suffer from a very lacklustre final as a result of this. With rumours of a big twist this weekend, it's time to face the music!

I feel a bit ambivalent towards the show now, it just hasn't piqued my interest and even last week when finally one of the weaker acts went, I felt little care for any of the acts. James and Ella are probably the best two left but even they can't really save this series in my opinion, it's probably going to end up being the weakest series of the show to date. With tonight being Guilty Pleasures week, don't expect anything different, Christopher will sing a song older than the average age of an X Factor voter, James will do an amazing job with a quirky choice and Rylan's performance will be no different to any other week.

This week I found out some incredibly disappointing news. Apparently, the number of liveshows have been cut down to just 4, so we'll be losing 4 contestants the first week (one from each category), 4 more the second one (one from each category) and then 1 the third week (the act with the least amount of votes), leaving us with 3 finalists. There will be no sing off and no judges decision, just the public vote alone will decide the fate of the contestants. Probably the worst move ever, this means that we'll only get to see one performance from some of our finalists and that's a complete shame cause the talent this year is crazy, in fact, it's the best we've have since the show began. To me, the show has been turned into a low budget version of The Voice now, I definitely think most the contestants wouldn't have auditioned for it have they known they were gonna do this to the liveshows.

X Factor UK 2012: Top 8 Perform: Number Ones
04 November, 2012 11:05 PM
If you're reading this, wondering if my subtraction skills are terrible, there is an explanation. Last week, 9 of the Top 10 performed after Lucy got a bye due to illness leading to the departure of yet another talented act in Jade Ellis, the less said about the shoddy decision made by the judges the better. However, Lucy hasn't got much better and is still too ill to perform tonight so she has decided to withdraw from the competition, believing that it would be unfair for her to be given another bye tonight were she unable to perform. Sadly, that means that we're down to 8 acts as there will be no replacement for Lucy, contrary to my original hopes that we might see the triumphant return of Jade Ellis. It also means that we'll most likely have single eliminations throughout the competition this year as presumably, they planned a double elimination with the addition of Christopher Maloney to the competition. Anyway, tonight the remaining contestants will sing Number Ones. Will Jahmene give a ballsy performance? Will Rylan sing a ballad as promised? Will Christopher sing another 80's karaoke classic? Find out the answer to these questions below. It's Time To Face The Music!

I've been having a lot of problems with this show since it began. The first season wasn't completely covered since I couldn't do it myself and the guy that was writing it decided not to do it mid season. The same thing happened again this year. That's why I've decided that it'd be better if I did it myself. So from now on, I'll be covering the XF US for you all. I won't be writing the missing posts (Auditions 5 and 6, Bootcamp and JH) because it'd take me too much time I don't have it, but I hope you enjoy the live shows recaps! So 16 contestants have made it to the lives but by the end of the week, only 12 will remain, with the judges picking 8 contestants for a sing off and then sending 4 of them packing.
