^LOL Yeah, LA wtf hahahha

la reid left xfactor

L.A. Reid leaves The X Factor - thestar.com

winning the show doesnt really mean much

re: one direction, cher lloyd

im not sure if you're being sarcastic or not :badpokerface: since those 2 are popular as hell

That's what he's saying. Both Cher Lloyd and One Direction did not win the xFactor, but they are more popular than the ones who did.

oh they didnt win?



haha shows how much i know :D i don't watch it and assumed they were winners

well technically speaking, 5th Harmony have 5 x the family, 5 x the friends and 5 x the community support that Carly probably has

not saying they deserve it or not, just saying it purely from a numbers standpoint

Okay... just tuned into the early edition halfway through... grab some popcorn before Leanne Rimes comes out and just horrifies her own song in a duet with Carly. Yes Leanne, you were just blown off the stage by a 13-year-old.

^ pretty sure they don't give it their all. They are supposed to make the contestants look better.

Oh no, she SUCKED. She looked drunk or something. Like she was HORRIFIC. Picture Painkiller Paula when she was on Idol, babbling away behind the judge's table.

Little Big Town totally kicked it out with Tate.

Carly won xfactor with "alleluia" incredible!

Might want to wait til the second episode is over before posting details

LOL what the fuck LeAnn Rimes?

I wasn't convinced with Hallelujah through two verses because that's another one of those songs that should be sung...quietly? I guess like Imagine and I didn't think it would work well with Carly's ridiculous voice but third verse, she goes into a different key and BOOM...my head explodes. Amazing. The most famous versions of this song by Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley are still better but wow.

I get the feeling she isn't going to win, though...both because LeAnn Rimes ruined that performance and she has talent but she doesn't have a sound of her own.

Don't get all uppity, it's not like it's the results show or anything.

I wasn't - it was a suggestion.

5H! You read it here first!

Winner is Tate Stevens

To be honest , I don't like this guy

But amazing singer

Ugh. Waste of a season...

Tate sucks. Can't believe he was even in the finale.

It's because he's the only country artist In the show

Yep and the country demographic is huge

The more I watch back, the more I actually think that Carly probably wasn't ready.

She has a huge powerful voice, but really, she's just too young. She doesn't know how to control her voice to her advantage. Her natural instinct is to belt all the time, and it seems like she doesn't know how to hold back. It really showed in her Christmas performance tonight and her past couple weeks. Her softer, tender singing sounds really forced back. Like she was revving up her rpm's but not shifting, so there's too much pressure in those soft notes.

Regardless, she's only 13 and already better than most. X Factor or no X Factor, she'll have a career in music no question.

Frankly, I'm impressed Carly lasted til the end. I've seen a few of these really young, super-talented ones on other shows (none as good as Carly though, and none as young!) and they don't usually make it much past the top 8-10, simply because of the pressure and the grueling schedule - most of them, they start out having a blast and you realize they're just enjoying the singing, but you can almost see the point where they start to crack, and come out with bad song choices or just butcher a song, and then they're gone.

Case in point: this version still kicks ass:


You can see when she really gets going, she's just getting lost in the performance, and is just blasting out energy everywhere. But as they go along, they start lumping in all the coaching - dress like this, sing like that... look at the camera... do that cheezy reaching-out-to-the-camera thing... it's a lot to think about when you just want to belt out a song you love, and I'm sure it takes a lot of the fun out of it, and with the fun goes a lot of the energy.

I've seen others where you have older singers who have already been in bands and whatnot, and you can see where they start to get fed up with the all the coaching and directing and are basically just singing because, well, they have to... not because they love to. There were at least a couple people like that on that "Rock Star" show - more experienced, killer talent who just quit trying, and it was painfully obvious it was because they weren't enjoying it anymore.

That's the most impressive thing about Carly, besides the raw talent: she took all that in stride, stayed totally grounded, and just kept belting out the tunes, because she loved doing it.
