‘X Factor’ first live show debuting Oct. 31, not Nov. 1; Kelly Clarkson, Phillip Phillips updates
Khloe Kardashian is going to be an "X Factor" co host. Can she do better than Steve Jones? Having Mario Lopez there should help. CREDIT: AP
With the San Francisco Giants sweeping the Detroit Tigers in the World Series, Fox’s schedule has opened up so they have moved up “The X Factor” top 16 live show to Wednesday, Oct. 31 and the top 12 reveal on Thursday Nov. 1.
We get to see Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez in action as co-hosts and be terribly judgmental about it. Mario is a pro at this hosting work. Khloe? Who knows?

Carrie Underwood is one of the performers at the American Music Awards on Nov. 18.

Phillip Phillips talks to the Hollywood Reporter about his upcoming album “The World From the Side of the Moon,” due out Nov. 19. That album title is a lyric from his song “Man on the Moon.” They did the album in three weeks. He did it in New York City, which he likes more than Los Angeles.
His single “Home” is on the verge of the top 20 on the CHR chart. In the meantime, his famliy is auctioning off some of his personal effects.

Kelly Clarkson, who will be performing on the CMA Music Awards Thursday with Vince Gill in a duet, has a new single “Catch My Breath,” which is racing up the Hot AC chart. She also has a greatest hits album coming out.
Here’s the cover for her Vince Gill duet “Don’t Rush.” I prefer Kelly as a brunette.

@Sam A – yes, I don’t watch much on TV except the music related shows and certain sports. I love music, write songs and work with a studio on projects and work with younger singers in the area who want to express themselves through song.
Music can be a great expression of energy, or bring calm and relaxation. Some songs express what we go through in the excitement and dedication of young love, in the secret heartaches and passages we go through, bring fun and good humor, or help us with the tears in our losses.
I read a story once about back in WW2 and the rocket bombing of London – that the people and children would gather in the basements of biuldings – bring out the music books and sing until the bombing subsided.
Some songs, poems and passages — stay with us for life, and have meaning that comes back to us through the years.
Where there is love, there is no darkness
where there is love, all hearts are young -
my love is written, in the music,
waiting, yearning, to be sung.

JT, my son sent me that picture. I posted(not the picture)the gist of it on TWD thread.

Anyone going to be here during the live show tonight? Well besides me.
As for blogs and so called trolls. This group (Voice-Factor-Idol) are more civil than many of the others that Rodney covers and others here on the AJC. I’m a moderator on a paranormal forum and we get some real doozies. So this blog is nothing compared to that.
As for Kelly, she’s been through a lot in her personal life and it did cause issues with her weight. My guess is she suffered from depression. However she still is beautiful and it seems like she has a twinkle back in her eyes. Personally I try not to judge anyone I don’t know, honestly it’s not worth my time. However blogs are for debate and those debates should remain civil. Of course it doesn’t always happen that way.

Dan, yes, I have learned to tread carefully on some of Rodney’s other threads. I state my 2 cents then get out of the way.

@ JTesla: “They are no other threads!” Kinda agree with you there! None that are as good IMO.

Everyone have a great Halloween and a wonderful weekend. I’m off in 17 mins home to pack for Highlands. Yeah.
K&CF: Those jars full of heads, with eyes rolling around, will haunt me, I fear! Great show, but two weeks in a row I’ve watched it while eating dinner – really hard – lots of head turning!

Patge Thomas was a cross between the statue of liberty and madusa song was just okay.

DanJ

I agree Harriett. Too much glitz! But that’s XF!
Arin Ray was just okay!
David Correy was very good although he was wearing a Mr.T starter kit.
Sister C was pretty good and I thought they did a good version of Hell on Wheels!
DanJ

David Correy WASN’T very good is what I meant to say.
Harriett

Agree Dan. I wanted to like David but didn’t. And I don’t like Ms Garcia’s song choice

For a rock song it (Home Sweet Home) wasn’t a bad choice but Demi gave her an edge that I’m not sure I liked. I do think she is the TYPE they’re looking for! She is the total package and that’s what they want!

Diamond’s song did not showcase her voice at all. Very juvenile production.
DanJ

Hey Soul Sister was not a good choice for Diamond White and I agree Harriett it did not show off her voice. He’s sung Whitney before so maybe they wanted to show a different side. She did a good job with what she was working with and I think she will be kept. She is a future star maybe super star.
Harriett

Here comes Vino
DanJ

She’s sung Whitney before. Silly typo…

I like Vino and I’m pulling for him!
Harriett

He’s so much better than that song
DanJ

Agree Harriett! The start “lower” registry wasn’t sharp. The song choice was horrible!
Harriett

I like him a lot, but LA was dead wrong on this. He does the soul stuff so incredibly.
DanJ

Agree Harriett, Simon was right. I see him as a Van Morrison soulful type! Trouble was great at his audition.
Harriett
October 31st, 2012
9:08 pm
Yes to Trouble. Lyric 145? They worked very hard. I am no judge of this genre, so I leave it to you to comment.
DanJ
October 31st, 2012
9:09 pm
Lyric145? Not sure how they’re going to compete when themes kick in IF they make it. I guess they’ll be like Astro and write their own lyrics. Costumes were what I’d expect from Simon…over the top!
Harriett

I am afraid of LA’s vision for him.

I cannot get past the unlikeable factor with CECE
DanJ

CeCe Frey? Demi tried to turn her into Lady GaGa! GAG!!!! Vocals were not good!
Harriett

Totally weird.

Tate’s best so far
DanJ
October 31st, 2012
9:21 pm
Well if you can believe LA by his words then Tate will be kept. I really do like him and I’m not a huge country fan. I thought he did a good job with the song. I can see him getting a record deal!

At first, all I could see was Khloe Kardasian’s nipple…it was like it was poking me in the eye. Then someone finally got her to throw her hair over it. The sound is awful. The first few songs I could hear the backup singers better than the contestants.
I’ve missed a few performances do to trick or treaters. Didn’t see CeCe at all.
Deirdre

Most of all, the show is so over-produced that it is hard to see or even remember the singers.
Deirdre

due….not do…due to the trick or treaters.

Beatrice Miller’s voice isn’t mature enough now nor do I think she’s emotionally ready to handle the show! Hope they cut her for her own good!
Harriett

LOL@Deirdre! Did not notice nipple!
I think so far the mentor’s changes have been off base
DanJ

No, No, No! LA has turned Jason Brock into a cross between Liberace and Boy George! HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deirdre
October 31st, 2012
9:31 pm
This Jason Brock guy reminds me of Norman Gentle from Idol but he has more talent. I think LA made him look foolish!
Harriett
October 31st, 2012
9:32 pm
Jason has been done in. LA is not doing his talent justice
Deirdre
October 31st, 2012

“Can I pinch your butt”??????????? LOL!!!!! Mario will make sure he doesn’t continue but really, that was the best moment of the show!
Harriett
October 31st, 2012
9:35 pm
Agree Dan and D. LA HORRIBLE
DanJ

Just because Jason is gay doesn’t mean you have to type cast him as Liberace. He’s history!!!

OMG Jason’s voice is so powerful the tone reminds me of the great Sylvester they have to save talent like that
Deirdre

LA ought to be ashamed of himself!

I know, Deirdre. He guaranteed Jason will go. The Mr Entertainment thing was referencing Liberace. Growing SO TIRED of Simon and LA’s dissing.
