X Factor Top 10 Give Thanks To Dead People

It's almost Thanksgiving and there's no better way of getting ready than watching a karaoke show that was more depressing than Schindler's List. The contestants are giving thanks tonight to an endless parade of dead relatives. There's also lots of pandering to God who, if he's like everyone else in America, isn't watching this show. Power WGWG Tate Stevens has gotten the death spot tonight as the show has finally realized that they're on their way to having the same completely unmarketable winner American Idol's had the past five years. I forget what song Tate did but what difference does it make as he's going to countrify it even if the theme is Snoop Dogg. And now that Tate's done and it's only 8:10, his granny fans can now turn off this show, power vote for him for 15 minutes, and then go to sleep only 20 minutes after their usual bedtimes.

Diamond White's sob story is that she's never met her deadbeat Dad but she can be assured this bum will quickly re-emerge should she win $5 million. Demi's sobbing throughout the show as she's trying to re-gain some sympathy as she's quickly becoming one of the most hated people in America thanks to this show.

Khloe is trying to interview Beatrice backstage but attention whore Camille from 5thHarmony is sticking her head in the camera as usual. I wish Camille would block the camera for our next act, Emblem3. We see them at some type of camp for young offenders or something, and even there they have their shirts off. And the blonde guy has once again spent too much time pumping up his muscles when he should have been working on his singing.

Arin's up and it's like watching someone walk the green mile as surely Arin's gone tomorrow night. Arin was one of my favorite contestants coming into the Finals but now has as much soul as Bing Crosby after being put through the wringer that is X Factor. Arin seems to know he's been destroyed as he basically laughs in Demi's face when she criticizes him. But Simon really opens the door when he leads Arin to say he's not being allowed to be himself and is being forced by the show to sing crap he doesn't want to, just like I wrote about in my expose last week.

And talking about being destroyed by this show, here come Cece Frey. Cece tells us her sister died, which is sad. She feels her sister is watching over her, but I don't think she was watching when this show gave Cece her dreadful makeover. And while it's a lovely thought that her sister can see her, I hope she can't hear as Cece's struglgling once again tonight. She's sobbing throughout the performance and finally melts down and stops singing at the end.

Simon's been staring at Khloe's ass most of the night but she gives him something else to stare at as she sits in his his lap with her tits directly in his face. This is a nice transition to Fifth Harmony, who are giving us 5 times the Jesus Pimping. They're sitting in a circle and chatting about the same thing all teen girls chat about: God. They feel God has a plan, and that plan's being put in a fake group on a show with ratings God would strike you dead for. And once again I can't pay attention as there's an elephant in the room, in the form of Lauren's eyebrows. They have some type of hypnotic effect on me. But I'm snapped out of my trance when Camille starts singing like Lea Michelle being strangled to death.

Beatrice Miller's next and her lesbian moms are in 'da house! Beatrice is so young and naive; I wonder if she understands this show constantly pushing her lesbian parents down our throats is why she's persistently at the bottom of the results. Either that or America isn't going for someone dressed like Cyndi Lauper on acid and sounding like they smoke three packs of cigarettes a day.

Pimping the military worked so well for Vino last week so why not do it again. Vino wasn't let into the army because of his tattoos, which is a shame because I think Vino would've been great at killing people. He's doing the ultimate pandering song God Bless The USA and this is so ridiculous I almost can't believe it's for real. The judges, who've found Vino completely lame from the start, must now kiss his ass as this big fat piece of white bread is here to stay.

It's time for for more dead relatives as her comes Paige. There hasn't been a true VFTW performance so far tonight, but that all changes right now as Paige's performance is like watching a nuclear plant meltdown.

Last up is Arin Ray...no, it's Carly Rose as once again Britney fucks up her intro, even when it's written down for her. And I'm thinking Fox may have mistakingly switched to Glee as this performance would've been perfect for that.

This was the most depressing show I've ever seen in my life. I had so much hope when I heard X Factor was coming to America but it's been taken over by the grannies and rednecks just like American Idol, where all we get are sob stories, Jesus pandering and boring performances.

And a WGWG winner.

Saving CeCe will be a tough job this week. But, there's no doubt she was the "Worst" now for 2 weeks in a row, so that has it's own credentials.


It's like she's in phase 3 of a nervous breakdown induced by Demi and the X-Factor environment. The song choice was exactly what she shouldn't have been singing. She looked pretty though.


And agree, a lot of boring song choices that have been done too many times.

I kinda feel the same. We all loved the old Cece but this new Cece looks like someone who's mentally unstable, maybe bipolar, and her behaviour is changing from extreme cockiness to extreme lack of confidence. The show is using her and it kinda makes me feel sick. Anyway, it's a good pick, she isn't going to survive too much but she can bring some hatred. But the biggest Worster of all is Simon. He's ruining his own show with so many stupid manipulations. Casual viewers think this show is a bad joke, rigged and there isn't too much about singing, which's true.


I don't know why the site is ignoring Cody "bam bam" from the Voice. He's the perfect VFTW pick. His performance of Beyonce's Crazy in love was absolutely hilarious. Just my opinion.

Yeah, but while It's for certain that this has all happened before, let's hope it does not all happen again...


So say we all.;);););)rolleyes;):(;););)

My goodness. What was this? the Sob Factor?


After they got up to Paige's part I just completely lost it. Everyone's like competiting to have the saddest story that night. Couldn't even enjoy my Thanksgiving with all the tears and I almost lost my appetite Barf


Also the judges were clearly deaf because CeCe and Paige's performance were the WORST. Even worser than Arin yet he got harsher comments. So my vote goes out to Demi's two eye brows Laugh

That was a really good commentary, smarterthanpickler. I really don't 'get' most of these singing competitions, or most tv programs for that matter. Apparently I just don't think like most people. No surprise.


Does anyone really want to hear the sob/life stories of the contestants? I don't. Those that do, why not just provide a profile of each person on the programs website. That way, if anyone really cares, they can go there and read without lengthening an already boring show with more bs.


As to who is the worst or the best, I'd need to know what is being judged. Is it the best voice, the best chance of selling records, the best entertainer...get my point? As for me, it would be rare for me to like a country singer, especially one that sings ballads, no matter how good of a voice they have. Singing with strength and volume doesn't necessarily do it for me either, but that seems to be what the judges are looking for.


I've got some crazy ideas and I'm a crazy old frau (obviously), but I think they ought to charge to vote (use a credit card). That way, most people would only vote a few times and the results wouldn't be so distorted by those that spend time voting continuously through the voting period. If you can afford to buy the music, you can afford to pay to vote.

It was hard to tell but was that a small American Flag that Vino was using to wipe the slobber off his mouth or just a red and white rag?

A stellar effort Pickler! But that two-hour sob fest was a target-rich environment! Let me see, dear old Dad, check, God, check, the military and the country, check and check, single Moms, check, dead Mom, check, big brother, double check, adopted premature orphan siblings with health issues, check, guidance counselors who look like recovering drug addicts (see Rene, Chris from last year), check, guardian angel/dead sibling, check. Did I miss anyone? They made a real concerted effort to get Tate off the top of their leaderboard, the death spot and a feel good back story. My daddy gave up music when he realized it wasn't gonna put food on the table, and so have I. I'll be amazed if he's at the top again this week. And is it my imagination or bad lighting or crappy make-up, but why did Carly and Beatrice both look like they've gained 15 pounds? They're also burying Beatrice by having her sing a funeral dirge every week, cute kid, marketable sound but completely mishandled by the X factor bosses. A note to Vino, yes I'm an old fart but if you love America, you'd know better than to use what looks like a flag to blow your nose on. And when he'd do the hunch over thing with that jacket, he looked like a damn turtle. Interesting moment when If I Drink a Fifth, it sounds Like Harmony was finished. The chick with the pink shorts started prattling on and on and the one in the middle reached over and tugged on her shorts. Pretty sure that's sign language for STFU. Emblem 3 and Carly did what they do, both pretty entertaining and plant or no plant, Carly has an amazing voice. I think, and hope, that Paige and Arin are sent packing tonight. But I'd be real thankful if they say the hell with it and eliminate 7 people tonight and put us out of our misery. I'm gonna put the death scenes from the end of Glory on loop now to cheer myself up.

Timing is everything. With Cece hogging the coveted too-emotional card over her dead sis, Paige is scolded for holding that same card second. Dead mother -- been done. Dead challenged sister -- well, that is good television. Hurl.
