Sometimes, you never quite know what you’ve got until it’s gone, and we wonder now if many fans of “The X Factor” are feeling that way about Dermot O’Leary. The former host of the show left before the latest run began, with the duo of Olly Murs and Caroline Flack taking his place. He was […]
Before this season of “The Voice UK,” something that many on-air and behind-the-scenes personalities were touting was that this show was higher-rated than its rival “The X Factor.” After seeing the official ratings for the season 5 premiere, we’re not sure they should really be bragging about that anymore. Overall, “The Voice” drew around 7.12 […]
Are we at the end of the road just yet when it comes to Caroline Flack on “The X Factor“? We know that she and Olly Murs did not receive the best reviews for this past season, but at the same time, they also weren’t put in the best situation. We thought that they were […]

You would think that the British press would waste so much time churning out stories this close to the holidays, but yet again, they’ve found a way to prove us wrong! This time, they are doing so with their favorite “X Factor” hot topic in Louisa Johnson, and are claiming based on a listing on […]
In our latest edition of “talking X Factor rumors,” we’re looking at a story that has starting to catch some fire in the British press over the past 12 hours … even in spite of how completely and utterly ridiculous it is. Basically, there is talk that there are bookies in Britain that have raised […]
We’ve said that we very much enjoy using CarterMatt as a platform to question dubious tabloid stories related to “The X Factor,” but the latest is one that we actually believe. After all, Simon Cowell and the Syco team may be regretting making Louisa Johnson’s debut single “Forever Young” after the way in which it […]
Apparently, “The X Factor” press has decided that this year, they’re not even going to wait until after the holidays before starting to stir the pot a little bit about the judging panel for next week.
