X Factor USA - Season 3

Yeah, it's an absolute joke that Josh or Ellona don't have that third spot. I feel so embarrassed when Carlito's parents dance to his performances. I'm sure they're lovely people but they seem to get more shots a performance than Cheryl Cole did on X Factor UK.

I will never forget when Cher Lloyd was performing and the camera then cut to Cheryl doing that duck face thing.
 
I loved that, it was hilarious! She also did some crazy dancing when Rebecca finally got uptempo dance numbers.

I remember when Cheryl did Judges Houses with Gary last year, there were more shots of her than Gary.
 
The X Factor asked Demi's fan site to do some research for next season, some interesting questions...

If everyone could answer and/or RT my last six questions please, a research team will be looking at the answers

Final one - What do you think worked and didn't work with X Factor USA?

Demi Lovato News ‏@itsohsodemi 14 Dec
Would a panel consisting of a Singer, Manager, Choreographer and Producer be a better panel for X Factor?

Did you miss Bootcamp on X Factor this year? Would you like there to be a workshop round added to the show?

Demi Lovato News ‏@itsohsodemi 14 Dec
Do you think allowing Live Bands to audition on X Factor would be a good idea?

If you could choose who would you like to see on the X Factor panel with Demi?

Demi Lovato News ‏@itsohsodemi 14 Dec
Do you think that X Factor USA should follow X Factor UK and release an actual Winners Single?
 
I will miss my Demetria, and atleast it was her decision.

I do want Kelendria back next year. 'Dream On' is my favourite song by Aerosmith, great choice and loved the production. The backing was too loud though.

Carlito is such small fry being in the final three.

Demi and Kelly got along really well on the panel, so I will definitely miss their chemistry.

I obviously would love for Kelly to return as a judge, but I think Simon is planning to change the panel completely again (probably because of the low ratings). Quality wise though, season 3 was so much better than season 2, and both of the new judges did a better job than Britney last year.

I love Britney but she was a terrible judge and I was relieved when she didn't return for a second season.

She just seemed so disconnected from the whole process. I don't understand why she could never give proper feedback. Fair enough you didn't like the performance but elaborate so the contestant knows where they went wrong.
 
I thought Kelly was great on the UK version she always gave proper feedback she picked interesting song's not predictable like the other judges, she was a great mentor, had great chemistry with the other judges and alot of personality. And Simon actually wanted her back last year so she wasn't axed.

Kelly was great on the UK show until Misha-gate.
After that she couldn't give a fuck.

I'll never forget seeing her on the Xtra Factor after Amelia had left and she was away with the fairies.
 
I liked Kelly on the UK version until the live shows. I actually found some of the song choices very predictable, particularly on Rock Week, but again I don't go too much into that because there is so much producer involvement.
 
SPOILER:

Congrats to Alex & Sierra. $imon is Happy and I think they would do well. I was really touched by Kelly's and Jeff's relationship. She was a great mentor to him professionally and personally. I hope he get's a record deal.

It's sad that Demi is leaving but after tonight's show you understand why. She was obviously upset over the "Annoying Drink" skit that they showed (you could see her mouth "that's fucked up"). The production team has been great compared to last season but they still need to iron out more kinks. Paulina is a COMPLETE MESS and needs to leave. I can understand why she missed her mark though. The judges intros are never consistent from week to week.

I think Kelly and Simon will stay on with two new judges next season.

Why was Demi so upset over the Annoying Drink thing? Obviously she's had her issues but that was incredibly off-putting to see, it was only supposed to be a joke. If she's been like that all season, thank god I haven't been watching because she's already been testing my patience with her music career.
 
Congrats to Alex & Sierra! Very deserving winners. I hope Jeff Gutt continues to pursue music, because his voice is incredible. I was very moved by the friendship he and Kelly shared, and I loved watching them bond on a personal level.

I'm so glad they won. I had such a connection to the final two this year, unlike last year. I really hope they're successful in the real world.

I want Jeff to succeed but they need to put some effort into him. I don't him being wasted like Josh Krajcik.
 
I'm glad Alex and Sierra won as bar the duet with Leona they gave the best performances of the night. I honestly wonder what the show will be like next year. It only got a 1.7 with no competition for the final and that's down 45% from the 3.1 for last year. So it's not like Fox are going to raise the budget.
