To date, “The X Factor” season 2 has produced a pair of acts in Emblem3 and Fifth Harmony that have generated quite a bit of social-media buzz., but at the same time, has that really led to much in the way of record sales? We’ve posted in the past that social media and TV ratings […]
The American version of “The X Factor” is, at this point, something a little bit closer to a tragedy than a celebration. This is a show that came on the air tooting its own horn and promising 20 million viewers, and it forgot along the way that it needed to make a good show instead […]
“The X Factor” did so much right tonight in its first live show: Great staging, quick criticisms, and a ton of fun performances were jammed into a 125-minute package that was much shorter than this same show last year. Someone also realized that we didn’t need that much time to get to know the contestants, […]
Allow us to take a moment to head over to the land of media panic known as Great Britain, mostly for the purpose of answering the following question: Are “Britain’s Got Talent” and “The X Factor” UK coming back for addition seasons? Right now, the answer appears to be a pretty clear yes. There are […]
Whoever thought that the Overs were going to be the hardest category to rank for “The X Factor” live shows? The issue that we run into with them is actually pretty basic in that we feel like they are all talented, and none of them may do terribly. However, there is also no one in […]

Three weeks into “The X Factor” UK, and we have had three predictable results. Even though there have been some shockers in the bottom two (see Kingsland Road and Hannah Barrett), they don’t matter nearly as much as the act that is sent home at the end of the day. This time around, that act […]
Union J is not even a part of “The X Factor” UK this season, but they are still facing almost as much controversy as though they were. The boy band, who has gone from being a hard-working group with Louis Walsh last year to successful artists in 2013, got an opportunity to perform on “The […]
Does the British voting public suddenly hate Adele for whatever reason? We don’t quite know what to think after watching what may very well be the most surprising result of “The X Factor” UK so far this season. Heck, this is one of the most shocking results ever when it comes to just the way […]
With Tuesday marking the beginning of the “X Factor” USA live shows, we’re back with what is an annual CarterMatt tradition: Contestant rankings. This week, we are looking at one category daily, mostly because that is the way that they will be dealt with this week as we narrow the field down to the top […]
