The way the judges were bantering back and forth yesterday was so hokey and staged, it was a desperate attempt to increase ratings, it was so fake it really sucked.
However, I think the talent is way better than AI, there really are some great singers, especially seeing those old timers doing really well, mixed in with some great young singers.

Simon's picks were the best IMHO. I am picking the girl that he decided to bring back to win it all. She had the look and voice of Mariah.
Yes I have her and the taco vendor from the over 30's. Drew is also someone to keep an eye on.Simon's picks were the best IMHO. I am picking the girl that he decided to bring back to win it all. She had the look and voice of Mariah.
Nicole Sherzinger is an absolute dolt. She's insufferable.
I have a bad feeling Astro's going to win ithe 5 Mill. Personally I can't stand the little brat. He's arrogant and extremely cocky. The worse part is the judges encourage his behavior and inflate his ego. What ever happen to modesty?
I'm with you Mr. Tricky, The taco guy, Drew who's got a different sound unlike what's on the radio today and that Mariah Carey girl. Sorry I'm horrible with names.

PS Sherzinger is such a jackass.
I'm sooooooooooo fucking angry right now. That little shit nugget Astro needs to have his ass kicked huge. Smarmy little fuck
Actually yes I do like Simon. Aside from LA Reid, Simon speaks the truth. Listening to Sherzinger is akin to nails on a chalkboard. More annoying than Paula in her day.Why? What did Astro do?
Sherzinger is nice eye candy, what did she do to be a jackass? Who do you like, Simon? lol
Asked to sing for his life in front of the judges, Astro nonchalantly strolled onto the stage and announced, "I really don't wanna perform. I feel like it's unnecessary." He turned to his mentor, L.A. Reid: "But I'mma leave it up to you. You're my mentor. Do you think I should perform?"
Reid told Astro he had come a long way in the competition and that he should perform. Astro turned back and proceeded to give a halfhearted, visibly jaded performance of a song in which he talked about his experiences on the show. Francis, for her song, belted out "Amazing Grace."
When it came time for the judges to make their decision, Astro was scolded for his attitude by the panel, with Reid telling him, "You acted a little bit like a quitter, and it upset me." But Cowell was the hardest on the Brooklyn MC — whom Rihanna once compared to "a mini J. Cole" — telling him, "I don't like your attitude right now."
"Look at me, and think about your mum watching the show," Cowell said to him. "Because you are showing disrespect to your mom. You are showing disrespect to the audience at home, and I don't like people with this attitude."
Astro retorted, "No disrespect to you or this show, but I just feel like if you're going to put me in the bottom two, I don't want to perform for people who don't want me here, you know what I'm saying? That's it."
By this time, Astro was being showered with boos from the audience, and a tear that had welled up in his eye began to stream down his face. Cowell asked if he'd take the same attitude if put in the position again, and Astro apologized, telling him, "Honestly, man, it's cool."
With the audience chanting, "Stacy! Stacy!" Cowell cast his deciding vote. "I really don't want to do this," he said, voting for Astro to stay, saying he thinks he had a better chance of winning the show and ultimately sending Francis packing with a 3-1 vote in favor of her ouster. (Nicole Scherzinger, Francis' mentor, was the sole vote for her to remain.)

The silver lining - that brat just screwed himself for next week. He clearly didn't win any fan support after tonight and I'd be shocked if he doesn't get kicked off next round. Not a good way to start one's career in the biz.I'm sooooooooooo fucking angry right now. That little shit nugget Astro needs to have his ass kicked huge. Smarmy little fuck
Wow, missed the show but that little pecker had some attitude, must be the tough hood. Having his arms folded during the decision process was so disrespectful, he should have been shown the door, allowing him to continue sends the message it's ok to act like spoiled kid in this world, you'll can still get want you want. Most unfortunate as this kid has tremendous talent but he needs a lot of life guidance at this stage of his young life. I feel for Stacy, a class act with her parting words.

Exploited labor
They work for free except one winner who has to sign a non negotiable contract
True the top twenty or so get exposure out of the thousands that performed but that does not justify
x factor making billions from free labor (the top 1% get even richer)
Where is the union ?

^^ Does that mean Tiny Talent Time from the 60's exploited children? It was a talent show for kids and they worked for free and CHCH TV made money off commercials in those days. You can say that about virtually any talent show on television.
