Snidget 43862 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-22-11, 07:46 PM (EST) "X-Factor USA Series Audition #2 ECST" Two more hours of audtions tonight. How will it do in the ratings tonight? Given most of the auditions from the extended previews are gone, does this mean the best is over? Can we hope the worst is over? Ready your remotes and keep the discussion here until the West Coast regains their hearing.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-22-11, 07:50 PM (EST) 1. "RE: X-Factor USA Series Audition #2 ECST" 12.1m last night when it was up against Modern Family... is it possible that Simon's about to have his manly head handed to him by a bunch of nerds? The idea of Sheldon beating up anyone is a nearly-impossible concept, but this is the one arena where he gets a measurable chance to pull it off. And given the overall quality level of auditions to date, Penny could bring down the house with a carefully-timed Soft Kitty.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"Ashley Sansone" LAST EDITED ON 09-22-11 AT 08:25 PM (EST) She isn't starving as she can afford 2 hotdogs. She is her own inspiration. Gosh she rambles on and on. Takes her shoes off to sing. Piece of My Heart, she is 29. We got the sound board warning, and egad, no wonder she is starving. I think she got into Pauler's cup. LA hopes she has really thick skin, got on my nerves when you were talking, when you sang I wanted to slit my wrists. Simon couldn't understand a single word she sang. The problem is your voice. She wants to go to a ballad and now she is begging for a yes or no. And it is no.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"Not Going Well..." 3 year old with a cold Local Legend, Gloria Estafan comes to wish them luck. Kaitlin Curtis Junior in High School, 16. Firework, piano version. Sound Board Cue in. Holy Vibrato. Nicole I think there is room to grow. Simon says that is not good news from Nicole. Be in a group where you don't have to rely on a fantastic vocal. Simon, No. Nicole, just need somoene more ready, no. Paula says you have promise, don't break down. Paula goes to give her a hug.

Nick Voss, 21. 7 people in a 3 bedroom house. They are concerned the talent isn't coming in. Simon wondering why they came here. Dramatic music, heart beat and off to break.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-22-11, 08:29 PM (EST) 11. "Twenty-six minutes with jerks and counting." Except that Simon has enough power to set up the performance schedule and may have deliberately set up a parade of incompetence to make the next Chosen One look that much better -- assuming anyone in the audience lives through the trampling feet. They're trying to make it look like Puerto Rico all over again -- but who's the one pushing the similarity? This setup was a mistake. And even on a night when they need every viewer they can get, it still won't be a fatal one -- but they're bleeding Nielsens, and the wound won't seal.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Snidget 43862 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-22-11, 08:34 PM (EST) 13. "RE: Simon taking a break" Audition after the break. He has been doing this since he was 5, I can't take the Vanilla Ice redux. Scary that he was dancing instead of directing traffic. Trouble by Elvis Presley. Another sound board cue. and there why is the crowd going nuts, this is not good, but he is energetic. LA-purely singing, not have great things to say, entertainment business, really brought it, got me excited. He is impressed. Nicole, confused at first, she ended up digging him. Paula, says keep being unique, but lose the Michael Jackson moves. If you can translate this to working harder on your vocals. Nick, loves him (probably because he'll bring the Jedward type of spectacle) this is something you really want. Vote...4 yeses.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

This is what we waited a quarter of the show for? Tell me he'd survive the runway stroll at an AI final cut. In fact, tell me he'd get past the gah-roups. Some amount of talent, but not superstar material and any recording is going to demand enough autotune to mask whatever they started with. Maybe Miami really was that bad?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Snidget 43862 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-22-11, 08:42 PM (EST) 15. "Ashley Deckerd" 14 year old. She goes Ghost Hunting. She says she is different and that is what they are looking for (different like every other 14 year old Goth wannabe) Simon says do you seriously see ghosts, and wants to hear only about Ashley's ghosts, not Paulers hallucinations. Paula sees ghosts too. Simon would love for her to bring the ghosts with her. LA fascinated by you, but the singing was the least of them. It is a pass. Weird sound effects. Ghostbusters theme, and left an eerie imprint.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Kevin Martin, channeling the Bee Gees, More technical problems. Marivana Viscuso, Summertime. Very Witchy costume.

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-22-11, 08:49 PM (EST) 18. "Wholesale ripoff." Because this show won't pay retail for anything. How many other shows have used this bit? How many did it work for? Whatever that number is, don't add one. This is starting to move beyond sad and into that vast graveyard known as 'So what else is on?' And I'm just talking about the auditioners. The ghosts have the right idea: the sooner this place gets cleared, the better. And if the ghosts happened to be one production idiot with his hand on a light switch?

"RE: Had a phone call....So I need to catch up" You may have missed TCO, or at least TCOToMakeFinalFour. Simon loves her. The audience loves her. Reid feels she vindicates everything he in no way actually gave up. And I? Am already so tired of this show's audition structure that she'd have to go all over again for an audience of one to have a chance of getting my theoretical vote. It's not her fault in any way. It's just that the editing on this show is going to wind up appearing on a turnoff list. In capitals.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: X-Factor USA Series Audition #2 ECST" So if you were one of the singers who got through who wasn't the Bridge Segment or the Hour Finale, wouldn't you be a little annoyed by your treatment? Forty minutes of failures (possibly including judge intros), eight of commercials, ten for those two, and then all of you put together got whatever was left over.

All Yeses, Simon says he could sell a ton of records. Jeremiah Pagan, Male Soprano. Upper register a bit weak. Gets good crowd response. 4 yeses. Friends and family support montage. Melanie Amarro, College Freshman. 18. Listen by Beyonce. Audience on it's feet. She is pretty good. Standing O from the judges. Family is excited. LA Reid You have the gift, the soul, the swagger, the X factor. Nicole, this is why I do this. Paula. Have a unique ability, I don't think it is like anything I have ever heard in any audition. Simon. When I was asked why bringing show to America, hope we'd find someone like you. Everything I walked away from, you made it worthwhile.

First Act, Jonny Rogers, 17 years old. Spends a lot of time on his Justin Beiber hair, but he had it first. God they are letting him talk on and on, I hate him already. Barbie's Boyfriend, Ken not Justin Beiber. He is jealous of the Beibs. Original song. Dances a lot at the begining, or what passes for dancing. Weird voice. Nicole shocked at the fake fall over at the end. LA liked the energy, you are entertaining. Nicole, loved the choreography. Paula loves surprises. Like a factory in China and given an order to make 10,000 Justin Beiber dolls but it kind of went wrong in production, wasn't quite right.

LA Reid trying to figure out what he's wearing. I'll Be by Edwin McCain. No he hasn't performed in public but knows what his act would look like. Called Simon Simone. Asks for a Mic Stand. He made me nervous. Paula says just sing. Simon stops him and says the song is not working. Really nervous, starts another song. He swears he can do it. LA Reid, Vocally not so much. Very entertaining. Simon says I quite like you. Lippy, Gobby, but interesting. I'd like to hear you without nerves. With a full production could be potentially good even though that wasn't a great audition. He is Paula's hero. Nicole asks if this means a lot to him. Simon says to move it along. LA-No, Nicole-Yes, Paula-No, Simon-You need three yeses. Where you blew this is the audience hated you by the end. The minute anyone criticizes you, you turn into a bitchy diva, it is over. Cue. Too Late to Apologize.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

He could say 'Girl needs to dial it back' and get away with it. The only thing I got from the whole routine: it's majority vote. I had been expecting that Simon would have the power to break all ties, and it sounded like he was leaning towards letting Xander through. And I'm surprised Simon let that kind of power get away from him.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-22-11, 10:28 PM (EST) 44. "RE: Waitaminit." TVTropes has a few announcing their cancellation on-air, but I'm not sure anyone's ever said 'Next week: an emergency airtime filler!' Twelve million is too high a number to pull the plug on anyway -- if they maintain that rating, FOX will keep them around because nothing they could swap ib would equal or beat it. But if the numbers don't rise, it'll still be a qualified letdown. Now, if they pull a Pirate Master and the ship actively takes on water... I think FOX will be reluctant to pull the plug no matter how bad things get: the season will air all the way through whether anyone cares or not. But turning it into one-and-done is a very real option. Still -- too early to tell. But unless they pull the American Susan Boyle out of a Pepsi cup, early results are not encouraging.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: X-Factor USA Series Audition #2 ECST" And for those of us that still watch shows because we enjoy them the discussion starts here. I actually liked a few of the contestants. I think Cheryl got screwed and actually liked her much more than Nicole. I'm liking LA far better than Randy and not once has he said Dawg. I like the idea of a live audience, I think it encourages the people that actually have talent and they can feed off the energy. I'm enjoying this much more than AI so far but am still a little foggy on the way the competition will work. That's a lot of I's so I'll stop there.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: X-Factor USA Series Audition #2 ECST" And for those of us that still watch shows because we enjoy them *checks ratings* What, all twenty-eight of you? Gee, hope they all register soon or this is going to be one lonely subthread. am still a little foggy on the way the competition will work. It has some Voice elements (and is not a ripoff in doing so, as the original version of this predates the first airing of that). If Wikipedia's schedule combined with past experience is to be believed, the system sort of works as follows: The rest of September: Auditions. Early October: 'Boot camp', which translates to the first series of cutdowns. At some point during or at the end of this process, the survivors are divided into four categories: males under thirty, females under thirty, 31-up (both genders), and groups. Each category is assigned to a judge, who is then responsible for further eliminations within it. The four sections then head for four separate generic reality mansions for their next dose of pain. Mid-October: 'Judges' house' footage. All the drama of the gah-roups! Half the talent! None of the sincerity! (approximately) October 25th: Finalists revealed. A guest mentor should pair up with each judge to help make the final selection. Two are rumored: Rhianna for Reid and Mariah Carey with Simon. (approx.) November 2nd: Live shows begin. The voting process is still a mystery. Should they echo the U.K. edition, we'll get a Bottom Two each week with the judges deciding which party goes home. (Which works out to 'Worsters grab a life vest' -- this makes their job harder.) This could be a B2 from each category or a pair between all sections. Or we could start out with the first and eventually have a tribal merge to the second. (approx.) December 21st & 22nd: Finals. There will be professional performances during some of the live shows. Mentors have been threatened. Quality is not necessarily coming.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: X-Factor USA Series Audition #2 ECST" Me and my fellow 27 happy watchers sticks our collective tongue out back at you. Hmmmm, I really like The Voice but found it too short, this seems a little drawn out. Hopefully it will be entertaining enough during the month of October. I don't pay any attention to the Worsters - if they ever back a contestant from the beginning that actually places in the top 3 then I'll give them credit.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I'm along for this ride, although it feels like I'm watching an AI/Voice hybrid. Let's not also forget a lot of people skip the audition watching and tend to switch in when it gets to around the final dozen and some real names come up.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

So not only did they drop off from the premiere, but this time, Simon experienced the honor of having Sheldon give him a giant ratings wedgie. Are they worried yet?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

For the ones that mattered, re-audited Wednesday night figures (source, TVBTN): 8:00 FOX The X Factor (Series Premiere) 8-10p 4.4/12 12.49 CBS Survivor: South Pacific 3.2/9 10.46 ABC The Middle (Season Premiere, 1 Hour) 3.1/9 9.74 9:00 ABC Modern Family (Season Premiere, 1 Hour) 6.1/15 14.53 CBS Criminal Minds (Season Premiere) 4.1/10 14.14 Interesting to note that the 18-49 rating share was particularly strong for the Modern Family. Thursday: 8:00 CBS The Big Bang Theory (Season Premiere) 4.8/15 14.06 FOX The X Factor 3.9/11 11.43 8:30 CBS The Big Bang Theory 5.0/14 14.65 NBC Parks & Recreation (Season Premiere) 2.0/6 4.11 9:00 FOX The X Factor 4.4/11 12.71 ABC Grey's Anatomy (Season Premiere) 3.9/10 10.11 CBS Person Of Interest (Series Premiere) 3.1/8 13.22 Interesting to note that the XF viewership dropped significantly by 9:00, while BBT got a jump at 8:30. I wonder if that disastrous first half-hour of XF had anything to do with that.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
