One of our favorite things to do when writing about “The X Factor” is sort of commenting on the commentary, and some of the ways in which the media try to make mountains out of molehills for some of the contestants and their stories leading up to the show. We begin this time around with […]
If you remember back to many past seasons of “The X Factor,” there is one thing that has become quite the time-honored tradition: Watching finalists perform with ridiculously famous people. It’s a chance to show them what real life could be life, and for the stars performing, it’s that shot in the arm of publicity […]
In starting off this edition of our “X Factor” notes, let’s go ahead and bring you some departing words from one of the shock eliminations … at least in terms of the way she was sent home. Our feeling is that it is never particularly great to be eliminated, but it has to be so […]
Tonight’s new episode of “The X Factor” is the rare case of an elimination almost being completely overshadowed in some way by the surrounding flubs by both a host and a contestant. Let’s start with the facts, as Max Stone became the first person eliminated in the episode. Ultimately, it was not a shock to […]
The situation entering Sunday night’s “X Factor” results show is in many ways different than any other one that we have seen over the past couple of weeks, mostly because there is not as clear of hierarchy of who performed better than others.

During the live “X Factor” performance show on Saturday, we witnessed what was a truly scary moment as 4th Impact member Celina passed out right before hitting the stage.

It’s Movie Week on “The X Factor” … otherwise known as our least favorite week. No amount of hype or glossy graphics is going to make us excited about seeing some of the same songs time and time again. Bonus points to anyone who at least does something original, which brings us to the start […]
Saturday night’s new episode of “The X Factor” is almost here, and we have one visceral reaction to the songs that are being chosen this time by some of the contestants: Zzzzz. Seriously. These are not good. At least two of them are in the CarterMatt Set It On Fire Book, which is our compilation […]
Two weeks into “The X Factor” this season, and we’ve started to get a sense of who the real contenders are. For the most part, we’d say that there is one person in huge danger of going home next, a couple of potential “shock boots,” and then some destined to be eliminated in the middle […]
Let’s begin this particular “X Factor” article with the news regarding what is coming up on Sunday night’s results show, specifically in the form of who will be performing: One Direction and Jess Glynne. Neither name should comes as a surprise; the show never wants you to forget that they launched the group into one […]
