This week, thanks to the double elimination last week, we are down to the Top 7. And, yet again this week, a double elimination will bring the final group of X Factor contestants down to five remaining singers. Anyone want to wager who those five will be? Okay, you talked me into it! I will! […]

A few weeks back, I featured a rising young star in the entertainment world named Fernando Varela. In this article, I hinted that more exciting opportunities were on the horizon for Fernando. Well, the cat is out of the bag! On November 26th, 2011, Fernando was featured as a rising star during the David Foster […]

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed author Pamela Pike’s book about the enormously talented David Archuleta. This wonderful book, which includes detailed interviews with fans and musicians alike, perfectly summarizes why David Archuleta has continued to be an unstoppable force since his outstanding journey on American Idol three seasons ago. His talent is […]

This week, the Top 9 Finalists will be performing songs to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. And, in case any of you are wondering why I have changed the heading from “Vocal Masterclass” to “Performance Masterclass”, I did so because the focus of this show has been mainly about the production elements in each number. At […]

Well, here’s something to think about. And, I have to say, I somewhat agree with this statement. According to Sir Cliff Richard, Simon Cowell will never find a global star on The X Factor because the music industry and their consumers tire of artists when they fall from the charts. And I have to say […]

We are down to the Top 10 Finalists on The X Factor. We lost another group last week and chances are we will lose the final group, Lakoda Ryane, this week. They were in the bottom 2 last week so, unless they have rallied a massive amount of fans over the course of this past […]

Since today is my birthday, I decided to treat myself to a new name change for this weekly blog topic about The X Factor. It’s hard to know who is singing on this show or being assisted to sing. So, it just seems right and good to simply discuss the performance aspects of this competition. […]

Sometimes technology can be used for the wrong reasons, especially when it comes to singing competitions. This video of the Top 12 Group Number has become somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me. I have always suspected that many of the singing acts on this “singing competition” were lip-synching to their pre-recorded tracks. Well, now, […]

Honestly, I don’t know what to make of this show anymore. I am thoroughly confused. Normally, I like well-produced stage shows. However, at this stage of the competition, is the “over-the-top” production masking the true ability of the vocalist?
