It made for good television thats for sure. If you cut out all the back-story though, then this wouldn't girl likely wouldn't have gone as far as she did.

Agree.

Where as on the Voice, the judges don't know anything about the contestants or how they look, and it's all about talent.

And X Factor is looking for the whole thing. Story, image, style, talent. Which means you can get away with less talent points and more on the others.

Carly Sonenclar is going to win this.

10-12-2012, 06:46 AM

I can't believe they didn't put Jeffrey Gutt through. I would've put him through rather than Tara, Vino, or Tate.

As for winner predictions, I'm going to agree with TheSalesman.
Carly Sonenclar, Jason Brock, and the adopted Bruno Mars sounding guy are the interesting ones to me.
If I had to put money on it, I'd bet on Carly. She's friggin 13! With all the craziness going on in the world, what better than a ridiculously talented 13 year old to be a role model for kids to stay on track.

No one else really stands out this year.
MAYBE Emblem3, but they're starting to come off as really douchey. Their talent level is average, but they're 3 young, good looking SoCal guys. They will sell records no matter what.
And who knows, maybe Simon will make Playback blow up like he did with One Direction.

I don't see what the big deal is about Paige Thomas. Ever since her first audition, I always thought she was average at best. Vocally, I think she's the weakest out of the all the girls right now, including the kids. CeCe is cocky, but she is vocally stronger than Paige in every way.

Predictions for cuts..

Over 25's - Tara and Tate, maybe Vino
Young adults - Vanilla Ice kid and black country kid (though personally I think Paige should be gone)
Groups - Dope Crisis and the other rap group.. maybe Sister C
Teens - Other than Carly, none of them stand out to me enough to even notice who gets cut

10-14-2012, 08:03 AM

Carly sings every song like she wrote it and feels the full emotion behind it. That's rare in ANYONE, let alone someone that young, and that's what REALLY connects an audience with a performer. If she can handle the work and pressure all the way through, she can win it easily.

Tara's milfy, would definitely smash, but she needs to STFU, especially if she's not going to back it up with her singing.

CeCe is cute and really SHOULD be tappable but even before she starts talking, she exudes this annoying attitude that makes me not want to touch her. Every time she opens her mouth, I want to lay a 2x4 upside her head. The problem is, she CAN sing, really well, at least on a technical level, so she'll probably be around for a long time. She reminds me of Tatiana, the drama queen from Idol a couple years ago.

The thing with Carly is that she is a good singer and she's also like able.
Chris Rene made it to the finale just because people liked him. But if you're good and people like you, I think she's got it this year.
Everybody hates Tara and cece so I see them getting voted off early. Who's actually going to vote for those two? Maybe the judges will save them but how many times can they do that?
Nobody else is that interesting to me. Jason Brock had a good audition but didn't like his other performances as much as the audition.

Meet Carly Rose Sonenclar - THE X FACTOR USA - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU_dBDccruI)

Watching that clip again, it's just mind-blowing. Standing-O from Simon is rare.

The girl obviously has amazing support from her parents. They're totally supporting of her but you can tell they're not your typical stage parents, pushing her into it - and she really shows it in being confident, but not cocky, not stuck up.

Loved the look on her Dad's face when he first saw her walking out on stage on the screed - like it just hit him, "Holy crap, that's my little girl out there!"

10-15-2012, 07:22 AM

I don't think Carly is going to win. I think she should, but have a feeling near the semi-finals people are going to vote for someone else. Seems like the hands down favorite usually has a 50/50 shot at winning if other shows are any indication.

Susan Boyle
Jackie Evancho
Adam Lambert
etc.

Agree.

I find with the final 2, it's always somewhat pure talent vs above-average talent and/or style.

Like you said, with Adam Lambert vs Kris Allen. Adam was by FAR stronger than Kris in every way, but Kris just had that chilled out pretty-boy look that chicks loved. And Kris won.

With Idol last season of Phil Phillips vs Jessica Sanchez. Jessica was stronger vocally, but Phil had a new sound. And Phil won.

And last year with Melanie Amaro vs Josh Krajcik (sp?). Melanie was stronger vocally. But Josh had a unique voice and style. And Melanie won.

When it boils down to the finals, you never know what's going to happen.

This year, Carly Sonenclar, David Correy, Jason Brock, and CeCe Frey have the top 4 strongest vocals without a doubt.
CeCe will probably get knocked out because of her bitchy personality.

I think Emblem3 will be the last standing group, because they have a different sound from the typical boyband.. and all the teenage girls love them. But it won't take them to the finals. These guys remind me of Chris Renee's vibe, but in a teenage group form. Sub par vocals, sub par rapping.

No one else is that stand-out this year.

10-15-2012, 08:21 AM

Carly's got a lot going for her: she's got the vocal talent, she's good with song choice (CeCe hasn't been great at that in the house), she's cute without being "inaccesibly" cute, and she is (or certainly seems) very humble, and thus overall likable. Her parents are also likable, unlike some bitchy mothers we've seen in the past.

I think the one thing that could do her in is the pressure and workload. We've seen that before in other shows, where the young ones simply burn out toward the end. Alison Iraheta on Idol comes to mind - had a lot of the same stuff going on: down-to-earth cute, pleasant personality, huge natural talent, but at only 16, the pressure was too much, and you could hear her faltering as the season went on.

Allison Iraheta- Alone - YouTube

If Carly's parents can help her keep it together and not over-exert herself, I think she's got it in the bag. Then too, I don't think X-Factor is quite the same pressure cooker that Idol appears to be.

As shitty as her personality is, CeCe's vocal technique is very, very strong. But I agree, her song choices haven't suited her at all. Whitney, One Republic, LMFAO... seriously? With her edgy look and attitude, she has to do some Lady Gaga, Christina, Katy Perry, etc.

^Might've been more suited for CeCe's attitude.

I was super choked when they didn't put Jeffrey through. Tara? Seriously?

Jeff should've gotten through before Tara, Vino, and Tate for sure.

Tara is probably vocally the second weakest, next to Paige.

Demi got into the music scene through acting and Disney, through her past fame.

I know what you're trying to say about Beatrice. But I've been working in the music industry for a few years now.. and from a technicality standpoint, if Carly can sing stuff that's level 10 on the difficulty scale, she'll be able to sing the "current" stuff no problem, which is at most a 5 or 6 in difficulty. Not to mention she sang the hell out of that Karmin song.. and they're huge on the charts right now.

I actually think Beatrice will be one of the 2 that are going home.

X Factor USA: Baseball Rain Delay Cuts Show In Half; Top 16 Episode to Air Tuesday to Rival 'The Voice' : Celebrities : Enstarz (http://www.enstarz.com/articles/8256/20121019/x-factor-usa-baseball-rain-delay-cuts-show-in-half-top-16-episode-to-air-tuesday-to-rival-the-voice.htm)

Mother Nature has thrown Simon Cowell and "The X Factor USA" fans a major curve ball.

On Wednesday, Oct. 17, Fox abruptly yanked "The X Factor's" Top 16 mid-episode and switched to game three of the National League Championship Series because a rain delay caused the game to run longer than scheduled.

The extended game time cut into the two hours scheduled for "The X Factor." This caused the network to cut the show earlier than planned on the East Coast. On the West Coast, Fox aired a repeat of last Thursday's episode instead of repeating the mistake they made on the East - airing only half of this week's episode. The move even shocked the show's creator, Simon Cowell.

"Have no idea what is happening to the schedule tonight," Cowell tweeted. "Have heard the whole episode will be shown next Tuesday. Sorry. It what's known as a total f up," Cowell added.

Fox issued a statement on the scheduling fiasco:
"Due to tonight's rain delay of Game #3 of the National League Championship Series, the highly anticipated conclusion of the "Judges' Homes" round of 'The X Factor' will air in its entirety on Tuesday, Oct. 23 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Just because she's a kid doesn't mean you have to give her shitty pop songs. Look at...what's her face from last year...the little girl with the huge soul voice.

Glad Simon gave "that big thrown-together-at-the-last-minute girl group without a name" another chance... they have a really neat blend of voices that can sound amazing if given the right song. What they did at Simon's house was a good example; since then the songs have NOT been the right style to show off their talents. They need songs that are built on strong, thick harmonies - maybe some Destiny's Child, or even something old-school like The Eagles or CSNY. Be great to see what they could do with something like this:

EAGLES - SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD [w/ lyrics] - YouTube

Crosby Stills Nash - Southern Cross - YouTube

Carly Sonenclar should do a Pink or Beyonce song. Her voice is too strong to be doing cheap pop.

CeCe Frey should do a Christina Aguilera song, she has the attitude and voice for it. Also, does anything else think she actually looked better with her brown hair and that dumb cheetah print? I don't think the blonde works for her.

Other than those two, the song choices for everyone else seemed about right.

Seriously, get Paige the hell out of there. She should've gotten the boot before Willie.

Am I the only one who thought Paige was a horrible way to start the live shows?

The judges were praising her but IMO it was garbage... but then again I'm not getting paid to judge.. anyhow

Beatrice shoulda got the boot instead of diamond... beatrice should of been in the bottom 2

+1

I don't see what the judges see in Paige. But I guess they would know better than I would.. I think.. :suspicious:

-Paige should've gone home instead of Willie Jones; we don't need a less talented Rhianna.
-David Corey is good, but he's just a Bruno Mars rip-off; so I agree with him going.
-Beatrice is nothing special and should've gone home instead of Diamond White. And between Diamond White and Arin Ray; Arin Ray should've gone home, however, I only say this because I personally feel that Arin Ray looks like a massive douche and will probably grow up to be a woman-beating Chris Brown or Ike Turner.
-Sister C should'nt have gone home. They're not very exciting to watch, but they sound great. Most importantly, they sound great as a group singing together; and isn't that the category? 1432 or whatever the fuck they're called comes across as so fake and so forced, it's just 5 girls taking turns singing, pretending to enjoy being in a group.

IMO, Paige, 1432, Beatrice all need to go home asap so the competition can start

All were really intense performances, quite a few people had trouble getting through their songs because they were so emotional.

DO NOT MISS: Vino and Carly. Carly's up last and just blew the doors off everyone else. They said she was only 1/3 of 1% behind Tate for #1 spot last week... if this doesn't put her WAY out in front tomorrow, something is wrong.

I'm a little surprised that Simon gave Vino the boot, especially after how much he's been praising him week after week.

CeCe has a strong voice, but she keeps pushing herself too much out of her comfort zone, making her voice very pitchy. She was way better before the live shows. The Christina song was more in her comfort range, that's why she sang it with so much more conviction.

FINALLY Paige is off the show. I mean she's a nice girl as a person.. but talent wise, she shouldn't have even made it into the live shows.

Diamond/CeCe/Fifth Harmony are next to go.

The top 3 are clearly untouchable. Carly, Tate, and Emblem3.

Emblem 3 will not make the top 2 cut, but I don't think it matters at this point. Simon's One Direction was booted off at 3rd place, and look at them now. Not to mention LA pretty much said point blank that he wants to sign them right here, right now.

11-30-2012, 02:10 PM

Yeah, I was talking to the girlfriend about it. If Carly were to release an album, what kind of songs would she have? I mean she has a huge, amazing voice, but it's not like she's going to release a soul album. When Britney gave her that Flo Rida song, that didn't work at all.
She's too young and innocent to be doing anything too edgy.

I could see Carly having an Anne Murray-like career as she matures, rather than a flash-in-the-pan pop career - crossing genres and age groups.

Keep in mind most of Anne Murray's hits were written by someone else; she just brought them to life with one of the most incredible voices the world has ever heard. And a lot of them are nothing like the originals. "Snowbird", the song that basically launched her career, is a great example:

Anne Murray - Snow Bird - YouTube

The original is... somewhat more depressing:

Gene Maclellan : Snowbird (Nashville 71 original) - YouTube

I know it's passe to say a new artist is the "the next" so-and-so, but Carly's got the look, personality, and especially *the voice* to potentially be the next Anne Murray... let's just hope The Music Industry doesn't ruin it all by trying to turn her into the next Justin Bieber and giving her all kinds of manufactured pop bullshit to puke out until she's trashed by the time she's 24.

Good points all around. Carly's biggest benefit in this may be her parents - from what we've seen of them so far, they're solidly grounded, supportive of her, but not pushing her. I get the impression they'll have a lot to say when it comes to whatever contracts she signs, and that it will be done with HER best interests 110% in mind, rather than their own. You can really see the kind of people they are, in the kind of person she is.

12-04-2012, 07:09 AM

Yeah, her dad's a copywriter. So he'll probably have a grounded...er decision.

She's going to be successful one way or another. With her voice and her age, the only direction is up. Even if she makes a sub-par album, it'll still sell like hot cakes from all her fans/supporters. Worst case scenario, which is really doubtful she'll end up here - even if she leaves the music scene and goes back into musicals/broadway like she was originally from, she'll still make a killer living.

In all other aspects, she's amazing but I can't imagine what an original Carly Rose Sonenclar song would sound like...like I have no idea what her sound would be. That's just because she's 13 but still...it's stuff like this, taking Imagine and trying to spin it in her way but it just sounds like she's doing it just because she wants to go for the note, not because her singing is actually expressing any feelings of her own.

Yeah, thing is, Carly generally HAS shown restraint and taste in her performances... I get the feeling "that note" and the mish-mash of styles that the song wanders through, was Britney's idea.

I had a feeling 5th Harmony was going to make it it through.

Smug comment: I called it in my post above that they did the best last night :concentrate::ilied::fuckthatshit:

When it came down to E3 and Carly, I actually thought that Carly might've been going home. Carly/Britney really messed up bad on Imagine. I bet it pissed off a lot of Beatles fans. Too bad they didn't show the rankings. I was interested in whether or not that performance really did hurt her or not.

Wow, little surprised... I, too, thought Carly was gone mainly because of "Imagine". Bet the vote was *that* close too.

Ah well, I don't think Simon is too upset - you know he booked the studio for E3 months ago. I can see them having the biggest career out of all the finalists.

A few weeks ago, LA said himself, he wanted to sign E3 right then and there.

Tate is not worth 5 mill but at least deserves a record deal! E3 is the most marketable out of the bands too bad they got the boot and fifth harmony aren't that great thought they would be gong home today

Carly was most likely 1-2 like it has always been since week 1 of the live shows. Her first performance wasn't the greatest either but still got 2nd. I don't see people voting for 5th harmony over Carly but I guess we'll never know.

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.

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.

12-20-2012, 08:21 PM

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:

Allison Iraheta- Alone - YouTube

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.

12-20-2012, 09:24 PM

Yeah, she's good at what she's does. But there's a time and a place for it. You can't go belting out every song like it's a power vocal.
Voices like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have complete control. Carly's not quite there, but then - she's friggin 13. And like you said, most of the cute young kids who audition never make it into the top 10 or so.
Carly's done musicals and movies, so that's probably why the crazy schedule and pressure doesn't seem to really faze her.

Unfortunately that seems to be a staple for 99% of performances in these shows - start off quiet, build it up to that big Mariah Carey note that will help bring in the votes. Fortunately for Tate, that really doesn't work for most country songs :)

Voices like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have complete control. Carly's not quite there, but then - she's friggin 13.
I bet she WOULD have complete control, if she just exercised it... but I think at this point it's what she thinks she needs to do. And to a degree, she's right - most of the voting public out there are easily impressed by that Big Note; they're not as discerning as you and I ;) Of course, she's got all the coaching and "mentoring" telling her that's what she needs to do, too.

Good point.

I said it before, she has the potential to be "the next" Anne Murray (although I'm loathe to use the term "the next", you know what I mean). A little maturity, a little control, she'll be croonin' with the best of them. And I really hope she and her parents stay down-to-earth lest she turn into another Jessica Simpson story - killer talent, molded by The Industry into just another river of overproduced, oversold shlock, and a hot mess by 25.

Oh man, I just had a bizarre thought... Carly Rose Sonenclar, debut album, produced by... Rick Rubin. Holy crap, that could be epic.
