According to Hollywood Gossip, Carly’s Mom did not blame LeAnn for Carly losing. In my opinion, she is partly to blame, but so is X Factor, Tate, and others.

Carly might have lost her way a little due to the energy of LeAnn coming aboard and all the filth that went along with that and X Factor having no business putting someone with that kind of current reputation on Carly. Boo X Factor games! We’ll see how popular Tate turns out to be in record sales. Simon also threw Carly under the bus with his comments on Carly’s “Imagine.” That song was great; certainly more of a risk with creativity in music making than Tate. And she was perfectly on tone even if it wasn’t normal fare (remember Simon was the only judge who did not like it). Tate is creative at most in his ways of drinking beers with the boys, giving sob stories about how the others didn’t deserve the prize like him, and sticking his nose in crtiqueing and offering derailing comments on other contestants to media in finals. How about all the times in the finals that Tate was flat and off key? Simon never said a word. Boo! Tate was obviously favored despite his mediocre talent compared to a 13-year-old. His talent was generic run of the mill karaoke copying; sure he had a fine voice, but not enough to warrant his win and the horrible sabotaging of Carly by him and others in the final days. Again, LeAnn with her “trainwreck reputation” of late had no business in a duet for the win. Boo again!

What a joke the news now says Simon lost a bet to LA that Carly would win. A complete coverup for the fact X Factor is rigged and they threw Carly under the bus with Rimes so she would lose.

Tate won simply because the country fans voted more than her fans. I think he would have won even without the LeAnn fiasco. Carly clearly has more talent and should have won if it were based solely on that. But it’s not, and now we have yet another country singer winning one of these competitions. He will be a clear favorite to win new country singer of the year on all 4 country music award shows next year so we have that to look forward to. And he loves his wife too!

Wow, X Factor allowed Carly to be subject to the wolves with this Rimes thing. They must have known that haters would come and divert voting to tweeting about LeAnn instead. Stinky move.

Funny that this whole Rimes fiasco has gone viral in social media, and the fact that Tate won is but a minor point compared. But of course Tate is edging is way in business that is not his again (as he did by trashing Carly backstage on semi-finals–which was judges realm to critique) by saying Rimes had nothing to do with Carly’s loss. Bull! It certainly didn’t help counter loss. Poor Tate once again, all left out and wanting in. Please go take care of your kids who need a father, instead!

How is it that Carly basically has more youtube hits on her videos (minus the Rimes one of course) than both Tate and 5th together? And she came in second? Something is fishy! X Factor up to no good. Bet they just thought Tate would be more marketable so rigged in his favor. Clearly Carly has more fans, so it seems.

Who knew many of the droves of Carly Rose Sonenclar fans could turn into Rimes haters and critics. Have they? Seems like it. And it’s all X Factor’s fault!

Examiner says Simon C. will be giving Carly a record deal (she should get an apology). If that is true, well that is somewhat of a consolation. It better not be a lie after this whole Rimes scandal. This scandal was not good for child Carly, and it certainly can’t be good for X Factor ratings. But Carly getting a deal right away from them will help ease some of the buzz! But I wonder if she’d be better off with a deal from an outfit not associated with this seemingly shady X Factor. If Simon is signing her on, he would be best to not change Carly’s voice too much in a record deal. We know she wanted to be pop, but they better not take the soul (she said she wanted to put the soul in pop) and bluesy/jazzy/R&B sound out of her voice that fans so loved this year. That’s what they did to Melanie Amario, and now Amaro is being marketed as some superficial run-of-the-mill pop techno princess without the beauty of the rich R&B voice everyone fell in love with a year ago (and she is practically a flop remembered only for that). If they do that with Carly she will likely be a flop and fans won’t buy and X factor will get bad rap once again.

X Factor Is to Blame, and Tate with His Trashing Carly — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 09:31:04 +0000

The main one to blame here is X Factor for sabotaging Carly Rose by pairing her with a person with REAL BAD publicity right now, LeAnn Rimes. They obviously didn’t want Carly to win because they would otherwise have placed her with a winner like the other two acts were. Placing Carly with a “trainwreck in the public eye” solidified the horribly manipulative and rigged nature of this show in my mind. They knew Rimes haters would pounce and the bad publicity would not be good for Carly votes (many of her fans likely were tweeting about drunk LeAnn instead of voting). They were clearly grooming Tate and threw Carly under the bus by giving her Rimes. And then Rimes threw Carly under the bus by apparently blaming her for the unprofessional performance, and now Carly’s mother threw Carly under the bus by apparently blaming Rimes and perpetuating bad drama in social media and bringing yet more “bad” publicity to Carly instead of rising above and refusing to “play this sordid game.” Carly is the only one apparently not blaming anyone! Ultimately though, Rimes had no place in a performance “for the win” as she is so “hated” right now and hardly up to par with her singing and up to par interpersonally. Ultimately it was X Factor producers who stuck Carly with a “trainwreck” obviously to derail her from winning (let’s face it, Rimes could not possibly have helped her chances and X Factor is not stupid, they knew it). I will never watch another “talent” show on TV like X Factor or Idol, as they are manipulative, rigged annoyances that crap all over people for their own gain. And obviously had this competition been about talent and the good overall package of a person, Carly would have won. Instead, sob stories and mediocrity won in the end, not to mention a bunch of alterior motives like trainwrecking and derailing of others for selfish satisfaction and gain. Everyone was a victim here instead of X Factor who started the whole bitter ball rolling. And the worst victim of all was innocent and sweet Carly Rose, a 13-year-old prodigy, the only contestant to thank the audience after each performance, who is too good for it all and never threw anyone under a train. Honestly, she is better off without being in the clutches of a filthy X Factor winning prize and contract. Poor Carly Rose, without much of a voice here, well, compared to adults. But then, how can she be? She is a child at the whim of others (did her parents care more about the money than her well-being?). As for Tate, what a boo hoo sob story teller to get the prize while also trashing Carly’s semi-final performance (sure that didn’t help her votes) thus throwing her under the train too. Real mature. Boo hoo for all this! Boo!
