(Insert NBC ‘More You Know’ jingle here.)įor the 100 acts remaining, it was time to get rid of the hangovers and break up into groups to perform a song selected by the judges. Don’t do shots of Patron and expect to sing Whitney Houston’s greatest hits well. While it makes for good television, it doesn’t make for good clothes, or in the case of ‘The X Factor,’ good auditions. How many times have I seen hungover designers on ‘Project Runway?’ The answer? Several. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my years of reality show television viewing, it’s not to get drunk when you’re auditioning or having to make something. I agree with this choice.įollowing the first cut, the judges threw a party for those remaining. I guess with baseball season baring down on us, Fox figured it was best to get rid of the dead weight quickly to keep interest. This episode was moving much more quickly than I anticipated. 30 minutes into the show and there were already 62 people gone. Many of those mentioned made it past the first cut, with the exception of Brendan. And Stacy Francis (42-year-old mother) had was too many runs and trills in her song. 19-year-old Melanie Amaro (she sang Beyonce’s “Listen” during her first audition) showed off why I think she’s still one to watch in the competition. Brendan O’Hara (the guy Nicole Scherzinger flirted with) forgot his lyrics and was nowhere near as good as he was during his first audition.
The Anser still hasn’t won me over as a group. Without his splits and twirls, he’s not incredibly interesting.
Highlights from the solo songs? Siameze Floyd was pretty bad. The solo singing round was edited really quickly together, so we got to hear a lot of people sing and didn’t have too much filler between. It’s not like I haven’t heard about that 60 times since ‘The X Factor’ premiered two weeks ago. In case you weren’t aware of the prize, that’s what it is. Although it would be appointment television if I were a judge.Īfter getting down with their bad selves (and showing off their “Moves Like Jagger” in the process), the contestants all lined up to sing the song they felt best showed off why they deserved to win $5 million. Luckily for those involved, I am not a judge. I wanted to kick him off right then and there. That’s a good attitude to gain lots of fans. Some people, like 14-year-old rapper Brian Bradley refused to dance. So what’s the logical way to start things off? Make everyone dance! I feel like C+C Music Factory’s “Everybody Dance Now” would have been the perfect music for a dance montage, but it was not meant to be. In Day 1 of Boot Camp, Simon Cowell informed everyone that 62 out of the 162 acts left would be cut by the end of the day. Luckily, I know exactly how the show works, so I can summarize it for all of my readers fairly well. That’s a far less confusing and mixed up explanation than I received on Wednesday night’s episode. Then they are divided into categories (boys, girls, over 30s and groups) and sent off to the judges’ houses until the final three in each category are selected. Basically, people sing and dance and get eliminated until there are 32 acts left. Before contestants got singing (and dancing), Steve told us all about how the next few episodes of ‘The X Factor’ are going to work. So what’s the best way to start off the Boot Camp? Show Paula Abdul crying and have Steve Jones say, “This is Boot Camp!” Makes sense to me. There are two people who have enough X factor to share with the whole world. You have to have the complete package, much like Maroon 5’s Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera. And that’s what we learned during the first round of ‘X Factor’ Boot Camp.
It also nearly causes car crashes due to said dancing every time I hear the song, but you win some and you lose some, right? Just like on ‘The X Factor.’ Just because you can sing well doesn’t mean you have the stage presence to back up your voice. There’s just something about the combination of Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera that gets me dancing every time I hear the song. Why? Because I got to subtitle it “Moves Like Jagger,” which also happens to be one of my favorite songs right now and my current ring tone.
