X Factor (American Idol, commercial, shows, how much)

[KittenSparkles]

The only two I really liked were the first two named tonight to go through- Marcus and Drew.

I'm scared- Vote for the Worst is trying to get Astro voted in as the winner

If you don't want that to happen - you might want to vote for the ones you like!!!!

[Hopes]

I might not be able to continue watching if they don't start toning down the lights!

No big surprise here... I won't miss them.
And I wonder if Simon even listened last night, because Intensity sounded terrible!!

I think Intensity was doomed from the start. Come on, a group, they were more like the cast of a musical. There were a few of them that could sing, but there was just too many of them. I'm pleased with the results. Was there any mention of how many total votes there were? I don't remember hearing anything.

Totally agree. Tonight as they are announcing who was safe was just painful. I think the whole process took 15-20 minutes of airtime. Ridiculous. Pan 5 acts, announce someone safe, Pan 5 acts, announce someone safe, repeat.

The previous night I watched the whole thing in about 45 minute timeline i.e. 1 hour 15 minutes of commercials and filler.

To the show...
- Intensity I figured would be bottom. Granted, I thought Chris Rene should have been with them.
- Another episode, another Stacy cry.
- Drew is my favorite. I hope she survives a long while. On other shows, unique singers get voted out early.
- Melanie to me seems the one to beat. She has such a radio voice with a very nice range. Simon struck gold with the girls.
- I hope Nicole gets fired at the end of the season. They should have kept Cheryl Cole. Nicole provides terrible insight and her song choices for her contestants are really bad.

and lastly...

In case you weren't aware, none of them had mics on but Astro (and his was only on for his rap, which is harder to lipsync). I can't stand these terrible group numbers where the song is overproduced and half the contestants can't lipsync correctly; let alone there isn't even some dance number attached so it provides ZERO benefit in my eyes. If I wanted to just a hear a song being played, I would just listen to a cd/radio. X-Factor I thought with a bigger prize wouldn't go this direction like how AI brutalizes this every year.

Way over the top last night, aggravating as hell with the results taking so long then rushing everyone at the end.

I'm taking the show off my DVR. I really like a handful of the contestants, but there is just so much junk with the commercials and the useless feedback and the stupid jabs between judges.

I'll just check their website on Friday mornings to see if the acts I like (Leroy, Drew, and Josh) get through.

I agree! The host keeps rudely shutting up the judges! And I want to hear what the judges say!

I may skip watching the results show in the future and only read about the results in the news.

Not surprised that Intensity was voted off. I mean I can understand a 10 piece orchestra or maybe even a 10 person rock band, but a 10 person pop group???

And add me as another person who finds the host annoying. He waited all of that time to say that he will tell the results after a commercial break and then rudely cuts off the judges at the end. Makes me appreciate Ryan Seacrest even more.
