X Factor Ukraine 2012: Top 4 Perform: The Semi-Final
27 December, 2012 9:45 PM
As you know, last Friday the world was supposed to end. And as you also know, it didn't happen. I don't know if the acts and mentors believe on it, but I hope they weren't just waiting for it to happen but rehearsing, rehearsing and rehearsing. Each act will perform two song today, one being a romantic song and the other a dance song. Dance week is usually awful for some acts and surprisingly good for others. I can't imagine Aida in particular singing something uptempo, but let's not get ahead of ourselves yet ... It's time to face the music!

Cece Frey and Diamond White got the chop last week, with the ex-villain receiving the least amount of votes and the saved teen losing her sing off against Cowell's manufactured group Fifth Harmony. Only 4 remain now and by the end of the night, we'll know the identity of our finalists, who will make it to the final? ... It's time to face the music!

Trevin Hunte finally hit the road last week leaving soulful Nicholas David, rocker Terry McDermott and pop singer Cassadee Pope vying for the crown.

The black guy trend is already broken but can the male trend be broken too? ... This is The Voice!

X Factor US Season 2: Top 6 Perform: Unplugged songs/Pepsi Challenge
18 December, 2012 1:26 AM
Last week, Paige Thomas and Vino Alan left the competition "in the most shocking elimination so far". Tonight, everyone is fighting for a place in the semifinal as the top 6 risk everything singing unplugged songs and facing the Pepsi challenge. Anything is possible, no one is safe, anyone can go home (If you haven't noticed it yet, yes, I'm mostly quoting the intro)... It's time to face the music!

X Factor Ukraine 2012: Top 5 Perform
17 December, 2012 11:19 PM
Last week early favourite Julia Plaksina left the show. The public was
shocked and tried to convince the producers to bring her back but failed,
obviously. Why bring her back if the public didn't vote for her in the first
place? So now, Sosedov is lonely and desperate. I wonder how harsh his
critiques will be tonight? Today each act will sing two songs, a
retro-song and a current song. Judges can't change anything anymore and
there won't be a song for survival, the public alone will vote one act off,
simple as that ... It's time to face the music!

Skylar Grey: "C'mon Let Me Ride" (feat. Eminem) First Listen
15 December, 2012 8:48 PM
UPDATE: Watch the music video!
"My new song is a very clear example of the part of me that will surprise my fans. I'm also really silly and I have a really dirty mind", the singer confesses. The song is definitely a major departure from darker tracks like "Coming Home", favouring a more poptastic sound. The stand out isn't the song itself though, but the raunchy lyric video, which is plagued with hilarious sexual references from beginning to end. This is what Skylar had to say about the song's meaning: I'm poking fun at the overly sexualized aspects of today's culture and music and everything". Yeah, right. Regarding her debut album, it's no longer called "Invinsible", nor is coming out this year. Now it's title is "Don't Look Down" and will be hitting the stores, presumably, on spring 2013, with Eminem as the executive producer. So Skylar fans, you'll just have to wait a little longer.

Carmen Smith: "They Don't Know Me" Music Video
14 December, 2012 5:56 PM
Back in May, after making it to the live shows on the debut season of The Voice of Australia, we learnt that audition stand-out Carmen Smith had been disqualified from the competition, allegedly for having an unfair advantage over the fellow finalists by being featured on one of Guy Sebastian's (XF Au judge) videos. That didn't stop the soul lady though. Her debut EP, "They Don't Know Me" is already out. It's actually been out for a while, since August 24, and honestly, I forgot about posting this underrated gem when I first saw it. Either way, the EP is probably not what you were expecting from her. "They Don't Know Me" is a funky, uber stylish, uptempo soulful debut, proving that there’s more to Carmen than the soulful performances she gave us on The Voice. Her quirky debut didn't chart on the ARIA charts but that doesn't really matter as long as she keeps giving us more material like this and if she stays true true to herself, she's on the right path.

X Factor Ukraine 2012: Top 6 Perform
12 December, 2012 11:06 PM
Talent shows make something with our minds. I was getting home on the train a
couple of days ago when two street musicians entered. They started to
sing and I just couldn't stop judging them on how well they connected
with the song and made it their own. I didn't even know I had those phrases
ready in my head. But I guess we all do now. Let's use them on the next
portion of the show then! Today's theme confuses me a little, "Cover versions". Isn't
everything on shows like this a cover? ... It's time to face the music!

J.E.M., our manufactured group, and the last one remaining, left the competition last week, when the audience decided to save fellow bottom 2 contestant Isak Danielsson, who seems to be less unlikely to win as the weeks past.

X Factor UK 2012: Top 3 Perform: The Final!
10 December, 2012 9:38 PM
Union J lost out on a place in the final last week after polling the least votes in an unsurprising result. So now we have an all solo male final, Christopher Maloney for the Overs and Jahmene Douglas and James Arthur for the Boys. Personally, I would like James to win but I have a feeling that it might just be Jahmene who clinches it and there's always the fear that Christopher could end up winning, hopefully not but you never know with this show.

Line: "Os To" Music Video
04 December, 2012 11:36 PM
Remember Line? Of course you do! She was Ida's runner up on XF Denmark last season and soon after the show came to an end, her winner's single, the wonderful "Efter Dig", was released via Sony Denmark, doing impressively well on the singles charts. Now, over a year after her XF run, her highly anticipated post-XF single is seeing the light of day. "Os To", which was produced by The Providers, the same team behind most of Medina's material, was released on November 19, and it seems Line is staying put in the dance genre, which I'm extremely glad because this girl is Medina 2.0, something I've been saying since her time on the XF. This song is golden, even better than her winner's single indeed and her voice works fantastically with this. Give her some time and she'll be something big. ... Is this the type of song you were expecting? Do you think Line can be as big as Medina?

Bella Ferraro: Debut Single "Set Me On Fire" First Listen
7:35 PM
UPDATE: Listen to the gorgeous full song now!
Despite only placing 4th on the XF Au's latest season, which was won by Samantha Jade, the once front runner was signed by Sony Australia and a debut single will be soon hitting the stores. The enchanting singer, who cites Lykke Li and Bon Iver as her influences, will be releasing "Set Me On Fire" on December 14, 2012 with her debut album scheduled for 2013. The song, written by Australian Idol S7 runner-up Hayley Warner and songwriter/producer Louis Schoorl, captures all the beauty of Bella's voice creating a very Birdy sounding tune. I bet the full version sounds even better, December 14 can't come soon enough for me ... What do you think of Bella's first effort? Hit or miss? Are there any other finalists you'd like new music from?

Some countries have already crowned the winner (I spot Samantha Jade's face up at the blog's header) but
we are only half way of choosing it. I wish we had the rankings like in the US
version to know who is number 1 right now. Is it
almost-as-good-as-a-professional Julia, stone-cold beauty Aida,
experienced Yakov, shy rocker Alexey, actor-singer Eugeni or charismatic
Dmytry? At least I know it's not dynamic trio D-version, but they still
are my own number one two weeks in a row. Will they be as good tonight
or is this their time to go? ... It's time to face the music!

We lost Rylan last week which was probably a bit of a loss entertainment wise for the show but let's be honest, on a talent basis he did sort of overstay his welcome. I quite enjoyed his performances but I'm glad that we have a final four with three acts who have at least a decent amount of talent, even Chris who is the weakest in my opinion can sing. As only three can make the final, which of the four will miss out? It's Time To Face The Music!
