X Factor US 2011: Top 9 Perform: Giving Thanks
06 December, 2011 8:16 AM
What a perfect time to have a double elimination in this competition: On the week of Thanksgiving! Gee, how swell. Bet these two acts have a lot to be thankful for, eh? Well, we know that the top 7 sure as hell did!
The Top 9's theme was GIVING THANKS. And it was just as sob story-ridden and mind-numbingly Ambienesque as you can imagine. It took me forever to muster up the strength to complete this recap, and once you have seen all of the performances, you should be able to grasp just how come....

X Factor US 2011: Top 10 Perform: Rock
25 November, 2011 5:01 PM
It was ROCK NIGHT on The X Factor USA, and it was as flaccid as can be. A mere few acts shined tonight, but nary one inspired you to give a damn afterwards. The song choices were sketchy, agendas were running rampant, and some gimmicks are beginning to wear thin. I...have nothing else to add above here, so just look at my grades and stuff, 'cause otherwise, who cares?

X Factor US 2011: Top 11 Perform: Movie Night
21 November, 2011 6:53 PM
Well, it was MOVIE NIGHT here on Week 3 of the American version of Simon's televised paycheck. The song selections were basically "any song I want my act to sing on whatever soundtrack I could find". Very few actually chose songs that were integral to the plot of the films themselves...except for the best mentor/judge, L.A. Reid. One was an Oscar winner; another was a Grammy winner; and the other was a nominee. Very few others had anything to do with their respective cinematic attachments. In some instances, rather awful flicks were chosen to represent on their behalf. Major facepalms. Worse yet, the average grades of performances tonight have become the equivalent of a box office flop.

X Factor US 2011: Top 12 Perform!
03 November, 2011 9:34 AM
Hey everyone! My name is James, known by the online pseudonym of ePastorJames. (Long story, got ordained online just because I could, married my friend to his left hand, crazy times.) This is my first time blogging for "Music Is the Door to Our Soul", but I'm excited to be a part of the blogging team and hope you'll welcome me to this community. I aim to be delightfully snarky and scathingly endearing. Let's see how that goes.
So tonight was the first live voting show of the brand new season/series. And apparently, there didn't seem to be a particular theme anywhere in sight! It was a particularly dreary snoozefest of a show, without any 'wow' moments to lavish praise upon. The mentors, however, did it anyway.
The Top 12 each sang for your votes, but two of these acts will be forced to face-off against one another in the Bottom 2 on the results show. The judges will then vote on which act to send home, and because they savor "buzz", you can expect controversy and drama galore! But for now, let us begin.

X Factor US 2011: Top 17 Perform!
01 November, 2011 4:26 PM
It's finally here! The night we have all been waiting for. The Top 17 will perform and only 12 will be standing that make it to the voting rounds. They've gotten this far. Who will rise to the occasion? Who will crumble under the pressure? And who will win a recording contract with Epic Records worth 5 million dollars? ... It's time to face the music!
