i had all the finalist right! let hope they do great on live
Britneys team will win.
Demis team is useless. No Jillian. BOO.
LA has already thrown his hands up.
Its Brit & Simons year
I haven’t had rabbit ears TV or cable in years. I discovered your show via Facebook & Hulu. Do you have live streaming so I may also vote? (Perhaps, Hulu or your station may do it for you? They did it for the debates & convention. Even the newspapers did live streaming via Facebook & YouTube even.) Thanks!
Jillian should have been in Demi’s top pick. I have no clue what she was thinking.
MC, there is no legal live streaming. The debates and conventions are considered “public service.” By contrast, X Factor is a for-profit venture. There’s not enough money to be made streaming for someone without a TV to be worthwhile.
Live shows will be epic this year. Great TV.
Lyric is awesome!
There was something about Jillian that didn’t gel with me. Can’t out my finger on it, but I’m not totally shocked that Lovato didn’t select her.
I wonder if this year’s winner will sustain a career like UK’s X-Factor’s 1D
I’m sure Britney will have a field day with this team as will Demi. I guess LA decided on mostly guys on his over 25.
If Lylas do great and win the show, Simon will have to juggle between them and One Direction as time goes along.
I still feel bad that The X Factor is eroding in the ratings…
I’m a big fan of this show but it seems my beloved Britney can’t bring in some viewers to watch it.
I still hope it will get better for the show. Its competition is slaying it in the ratings.
I don’t know but I feel so depressed for the show. The ratiings are jus dismaying….
To What Happened?: By Demi kicking Jillian out, I’d say XF’s ratings will go down even more. I know if they don’t use a wild card for her and bring her back, I’m just not really interested in watching a whole season of XF this year. I mean, if they can’t figure a way to get one of the very best singers into the live shows, then the show is a joke and not really worth wasting much time with. I say get Jillian back up there and let the audience decide if she should be there or not and let Demi deal with it!
But I suspect that this was the script all along–to create a bunch of drama by eliminating Jillian and then bring her back and voila! Ratings go up! After all, this is a “reality” show and there MUST be drama!
