"X-Factor USA Series Premiere ECST"
Since Simon and Pauler are back on TV together, we will bring them back to the RTVW Forums to where they started out together. Auditions start tonight. Analysis of the {insert sponsor here} cups to begin once the fumes clear from the West Coast Living Rooms. As a preview of what might be in Pauler's cup I say just check out what she wore to the Emmys. The dress itself wasn't so bad, but the shaped strapless neckline with the one boob near the center of the chest and the other diving under the armpit didn't a sober fashion statement make. Did no one dare tell her that her dress was 1/4 turn around, or did she think that was the way it was supposed to be worn. It's going to be a bumpy fall.

1. "RE: X-Factor USA Series Premiere ECST"

Well, since Paula is normally ninety degrees off from reality...
One minor spoiler: like The Voice, this show has no problems with taking rejects from other singing competitions. Expect the possibility of a familiar face or two before the auditions end -- which may include people you never wanted to see again.

It's as if they're trying to sell the idea that in order to do this show, all four had to hand over every penny they'd ever earned. And if we don't watch, they'll never have a cup of dubious liquids again.
That's making it really hard to leave the TV on.

5. "Intro"

Big Trucks.
Simon Cowell
Pussy Cat Doll
LA Reid
Paula Abdul
Introducing Cheryl Cole, she made the credits.
Lots of drama and tears in the rejects. Simon having a meltdown surrounded by production people.
Theme song sounds a bit like the Idol one turned inside out.
British guy in a truck mentions the 5 million dollar prize, and it starts in Los Angeles.
Already saying more people showed up ever (well gotta be more than Idol, right?)
12 and up, soloists and groups. People want to be big big stars.
4 people in their way, the judges.
Simon, record executive. Most successful talent scout.
LA Reid has Grammys And they say whose his talent is.
They both had to walk away from big things for this.
Cheryl Cole, artist, thick accent
Paula Abdul, no stranger to judging talent.
Later on in 4 categories, each mentors 1 category to take to the live vote just before Christmas, but working together now.
Auditions are live in arenas.

I don't think so -- they can say it's the record for this show and it would be hard to argue, but beating the new rival? I've heard some of the attendance numbers there, and this one sounded low.
We don't get to vote until December? How long are these bloody auditions? And how are they going to manage the Gah-Roup round when we already have gah-roups?

It looks like one hour of air time per city.
Looking at TV Guide, there are 4 nights (two weeks of auditions) followed by "Boot Camp" part 1 and part 2 in early October. We'll see what comes after that. I have a notion that voting will begin sooner than that... the question is whether we vote during the mentored "battle rounds".

7. "First audition: Rachel Crow."

Kid. Six people in a two-bedroom house. Which these days maker her upper middle class. Brings down the house with a rendition of Mercy which feels a little awkward with the lyrics coming out of her mouth, but she does have talent. Refinement required, raw potential there. As if they were going to open with a loser... through to the next round.
BTW, the cups are Pepsi -- with the evil eye logo. Pepsi Blue is very visible in the color palette of the show.

Young girl, whose family has no money, 6 people in a 2 bedroom house. I need my own bathroom, so that is why she needs 5 million bucks.
Mercy by Duffy. For some reason I think the preview with her audition was more autotuned then this, but maybe I'm remembering it wrong. Got a lot of personality in her performance. Crowd loves it.
I almost understood Cheryl.

R&B guy. Cheryl's talking about his package.
Ellona Santiago, 14. 4 yeses.
Montage of a bunch of people.
John Lindahl, 14. Singing Forget You.
4 Yeses.
Great Start.
Uh Oh, 30 years old Siameze who seems convinced he will be a megastar with his own energy drink. This can't bode well.
Hotel Performer. Is he painted blue or is that a really tight sheer thing. Flails around a lot, I'm not sure I will call that dancing.
Cheryl is this genius or weird, don't know. Simon says it was copy cat, something fascinating about you. Paula, commit to taking a stage with that energy, but not original enough.
LA-no, Cheryl-Yes, Paula-Yes, Simon-talented but deluded but I'm going to say yes.

Siameze: “I have the look. I have the attitude. I need a mike stand.” And he’s got a name, that’s for sure. He’s thinking girls are easy to get and he wants to market an energy drink called Simenergy. Si-men-ergy. (Think twice about this one.)
As Siameze exits, he takes the mike stand with him. It wouldn’t be altogether too surprising if he sleeps with it.

Pahrump Nevada. Dan 70 years young and his wife 83.
Judges arrive. Dan and Venita expected that lunch would be served, not food you have to buy.
Been married for 2 years. They are going to get a travel home and sing at senior centers with their 5 million.
Well this used to be Simon's favorite song. Closed caption says "both off-key" when she joined in.
Where is the hook, gong, massive stage failure, crashing plane, something end this.
Simon says they are going to be remembered, it was terrifying a vision of Simon and Paula in 10 years. Simon say adorable and didn't give up, best of luck.

When he started as a solo, I thought he'd at least get a couple of 'no, but don't lose that spirit' comments from the judges. He at least had a little something behind his vocals. And then she started in, and matter met antimatter to the expected results.

I took your cue from an earlier post you responded to about using CC while ECST'ing/blogging the show.
Rather endearing this old couple, although they can't sing worth a darn. I'm pretty sure they've got autotuning already built in for each other, though.

The Closed Caption helps quite a bit for some things. So far the CC for this show seems to be good about spelling the names right. Sometimes you can tell whoever did the typing didn't do anything to match it up with the spelling used in the regular captions on the show.

Simone Battle. She wants to write on babies. Practices her fierce in the bathroom mirror. 21 years old. Voice is a combo cheerleader, drag queen and hipster. Singing When I Grow Up By the PussyCat Dolls. Simon stops her.
Simon. You interest me. You are fearless, ambitious, fun to watch, I really like you. Cheryl liked that as well. LA is going to completely disagree, Simon asks to just hear her voice. Sings Bulletproof. Much better than when she had music. Ask LA again. He wasn't moved, didn't get it. Simon says it is what we could do for someone like this. LA-No, Cheryl-Yes, Simon-Yes, Paula is the tiebreaker, you are fierce, she says yes.
Simon vs LA a new rivalry begins. Eye of the Tiger Music.

Stacey Francis 42 with two young kids. Met someone the kept her down (she was also in one of the extended previews). I don't wanna die with this music in me. Natural Woman Aretha Franklin. Now there is on LA Reid likes. Standing O from the judges and the audience. Paula says this is your time. Simon says I've done this a long time, one of the best auditions, you believed in it.

Randy still holds the record with one million billion percent yes.
Normally, I'd think extended preview status means she makes the cut, but this show is going to need the mandatory tragic just-missed from somewhere.
Oh, did Paula have her first standing O for this series? Nice to know the new people got the cup mix right. I wasn't sure blue plastic interacted the same way.

Because the producers assume the view of Miss She Touches Herself drove the judges' credentials from your brain. Or this was originally going to be a pair of one-hour episodes. Possibly both.

34. "We are now in Seattle"

Rock and Grunge Capital.
New City, Big Change. Nicole Pussy Cat Dolls Replaces Cheryl Cole.
Geo Godley, Rainbow Heart Shirt and Silver Track Suit, or pajamas or something. Something he wrote. I'm A Stud with a Thud and ha Hunk with a Funk.
I have no idea why he hasn't been writing and he's got a Red X over his junk. And the audience is asking for eye bleach to be put into the sprinkler system. Paula is leaving. She looks like she is going to be sick. Simon says what the hell was that. He tries to ask to sing one of his ballads. LA says it was offensive, disgusting, upsetting, get him out of the building. Nicole is a little traumatized. Paula in the bathroom for quite some time. He says he was in key and he doesn't know why the audience turned against him.
Paula comes back, tells Simon she was sick to her stomach.

36. "Welcome to the biz, Nicole!"

Meanwhile, we have Paula's reaction. 'Oh god, now the hallucinations are nude...'
The perpetrator claims his waistband slipped. The show is just glad for some footage they can abuse their audience with. And one thing is becoming clearer by the performer: the editors don't know how to work an audition episode. We justifiably claim a lot of frustration with the AI process, but their annoyance has become streamlined. This clunker is still trying to get off the ground.

Now time for Marcus Canty, 20, to face the judges.
He watches children at the church. I Wish by Stevie Wonder.
Nicole and Paula dancing. Finishes the audition then sinks down crying from all the applause. Gets up with a Whoo so all a ruse of the editing to make us think something bad happened to him. LA says something like Bobby Brown thing. Nicole you are what we have been waiting for. Mom must be so proud. Paula, relevant fresh illuminate the room. Simon. One of those songs you do not sing this song, but I really really liked you. Remind me of Usher.

LA Reid, you have the swagger, yes from him. Nicole, three words Fab-U-Lous. Pauler's a yes, 4 yeses.

So you think Simon's commentary was too harsh and you're going to respond by opening yourself to YouTube user criticism.
...

45. "Nici Collins"

23 from Maryland, she is an event planner...
Something just broke in my ears...She stops the audition, she says the mic isn't working and she is going to do another song.
Nicole says she has range. Paula says she did this on a dare. Simon says she has a horrible voice and she says no after every no. She is shocked and outraged.
And now Mom and Daughter Stevie Wonder Medley.
Darren Michaels from Las Vegas, girlfriend has invested 100,000 in him. Simon says he is living in a nightmare than imitates Darren's strange laugh.
The Sonnets, What the Hell is going on like a Gregorian chant.
Nici is not going to give it up. She sings on a regular basis, well so did my Chihuahua growing up.

48. "Chris Rene"

28 years old. He is a trash hauler. He just got out of rehab. Clean 70 days. Singing an original song called Young Homie. It seems to have tripped some sort of switch in LA Reid, had a strange robotic sway to it, but it seems that is a sign he likes it.
Nicole says I'm trippin' on you. Serious. You got the X factor. Paula, you are a bright light. LA Reid dropping names and saying he is the truth. Simon my favorite feeling is when I sit in this chair and meet a star for the first time. You need the show or maybe we need you. LA Reid says yes and you gotta stay straight, and you gotta let me hear your voice so I know you are OK. Simon, if we put you through we are staying on the right track. Then you have my yes.

found here. Altogether, an interesting night. Some parts of it could have been cut entirely (Geo), some of it was a little long on the back story, but as a whole, an entertaining show. More comments in the blog.
I'm keen on hearing your comments about this recap. It was a lot to cover in two hours.

Well I may have questionable taste, but I think there is enough entertainment value to watch it. You might keep the remote handy, the bad singers are somehow even worse than I remember the AI people being (bigger prize--bigger delusions?), but over all enough entertainment to make it worth the occasional mute or fast forward.

I started watching after survivor was over. I'm going to reserve judgement for now. I can see it has potential, but I'm not sure it's all its been cracked up to be. I'll catch it again tonight and see how I feel. I hate to admit it but, it was good to see simon again. Paula? meh

58. "Thumbs up"

It's more or less AI 2, with some subtle differences.
Auditions are before a live arena audience, so the crowd appeal (in-song clapping, cheering, jeering) may have some influence on the judging.
They took a page out of The Voice format with "battle rounds" coming up later in the season between four groups (boys, girls, over 30's and groups) to be mentored by each of the judges.
Simon & Paula are still Simon & Paula, Nicole is in the ever-changing judge seat, and L.A. Reid is Randy 2, but much better I think. I agreed with every assessment he made, even the ones he was overruled on (for example, he didn't like Siameze at all, and it's beyond me why Simon gave him a pass).
There will be voting again, later in the season. Just how that works, we'll find out later.
I like that it includes all ages (talented kids as well as some old folks like me) and also groups. This widens the potential talent base outside of the usual AI tween material.
Overall, thumbs up by this critic.

70. "RE: Regarding the clunkers"

The theory making the rounds is that he's an actor hired by the producers for a publicity stunt: nudity=ratings, even when it's blurred and not necessarily of a type you'd want to witness anyway. This is based mostly around his getting past the initial screenings (even for a designated stinker) and the non-appearance of security when everything went literally south.

Remember Charlese and Melody from the second night?
Probably not. They got cut off after five seconds.
Actually, they didn't get cut off after five seconds. They sang a whole two minute audition. And some of Simon's comments during their interview that he hoped will never see daylight have been recorded.
I'll be interviewing them in the next few days.
There's a lot more going on with the X Factor editing than meets (rather, does not meet) the eye.
