‘X Factor’ top 13 results show: who was out first? And how about the vote order?
Lyric 145 survived into the top 12, ranking ninth. CREDIT: Fox
Jason Brock has a sweet personality, a good voice and a theatrical air. But as a man in his 30s without pop star looks, he was handicapped and became the first act to go home from the live vote.
“I did it for the gays and Japan,” Brock said. “But I’m happy to have been here.”
He was in the bottom two with the much less likable CeCe Frey.
Loading ...The judges had a choice between the two of them. Since they split the votes (Demi and Simon chose Jason to go home; Britney and L.A. chose CeCe.) the person with the lowest votes went home. That was Jason.
CeCe sang a ragged, yet defiant Cher song “You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me.” And she wore an impressively unflattering white outfit that exaggerated her hips and pulled back hair that made her already harsh persona seem harsher. Grade: B
I thought Jason did a better job with a relatively subtle version of Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” I’d give him a B-plus.
Loading ...Then for the first time in any singing competition, they showed the order of all votes. (Take that, “American Idol”!) We here at this blog love the transparency, I’m sure. What do you think?
Here was the order and the top 3 were my top 3, though I would have put Vino and Carly Rose ahead of Tate. It’s great that two of the “older” singers are in the top 3, too.
1. Tate Stevens (surprise!)
2. Carly Rose Sonenclar
3. Vino Alan
4. Diamond White
5. Fifth Harmony (pimp spot!)
6. Emblem 3 (surprisingly low!)
7. Jennell Garcia
8. Paige Thomas
9. Lyric 145
10. Beatrice Miller
11. Arin Ray
12. CeCe Frey
13. Jason Brock

My three faves, in order, are Carly Rose, Fifth Harmony and Vino Alan, so I’m good.
And I love that they show the order of the votes!

Even CeCe’s “almost” swan song was a poor choice. she’s been totally “frey’d” by the character change and mentor’s advice.

Very surprised that there are so many Country fans watching the show – although Tate’s last song was not really country – was still delivered in country attire and style.
One of the pluses for him is his performances are not full of flashing siezure-inducing lights and distracting dancers.
Looks like next week will be a fight for survival between CeCe, Arin Ray and Beatrice Miller.
Beatrice needs to get rid of the green shoes and silly garb, Arin needs to rely upon the production – because he’s not a great singer comparitively — and CeCe desparately needs a new mentor.”"”
Guesstimated power rankings – pre-performance next week::
Upper Level = Carly Rose – Tate Stevens – Emblem 3 – 5th Harmony
Ground floor = Vino Alan – Jennel Garcia – Diamond White – Paige Thomas
Basement = Lyric 145 – Beatrice Miller – Arin Ray – CeCe Frey
This is not a critique of singing ability, but our “take” on what we think – from the finish placements this week – tempered by potential future gains. Emblem 3 finished 6th tonight for instance, but we think they will make top 5 or 4.
MJ had Lyric 145 as the best last night, but they finished 9th. Not everyone buys that act, although I think they are a hard-working, high-energy, high-spirited and creative act in their genre.

Mercedes I agree with your top 3 but I did like Tate and Diamond so I actually don’t have a problem with how the votes panned out.
I think letting the singers know where they finished the week before may prepare them for getting voted off. I’m not that impressed with Beatrice Miller. I think she could have the meltdown this year. The sooner she goes the less likely she’ll collapse. The groups are pretty strong this year so my guess is that the young teens and young adults will be the ones (Beatrice, Arin & CeCe) will be the next 3 to go.

The first thing that has to go is the childish bickering between the judges. I almost can’t stand to watch the show because of it. Next get rid of Brittney. She does absolutely nothing for the show. Then get rid of all the production and just let me HEAR them sing. Kardashian brings nothing to the table. Mario, however is doing a good job and will do even better once the anchor (Kardashian) is cut from around his neck.
And was anyone actually surprised at the way Diamond was cut last week and returned this week? Even a blind man could see that coming from a mile away.

Mrs Boisblanc, I agree with absolutely every word you said!
I’m not surprised that Tate was on top. The guy has a great voice and country is extremely popular at the moment. He was easily one of the best singers Wed. night.
XF FINALLY did something I like proving that Simon is pulling out all the stops to get peoples’ attention. I am VERY impressed that they listed the voting order. No other singing competition show does that. I’m not sure that it is a good idea every time but it sure was a treat this time.

Seth T, I agree with most of your post except your placement of Vino Alan in your “Ground Floor” ranking. Considering the fact that he had the 3rd highest total vote, that ranking sounds less like a thoughtful prediction and rather more like a personal dislike of him.
Demi has definitely blew it with CeCe Frey and Paige Thomas. Bad song choices and bad performance advice. Especially with CeCe. During a “judge’s house” episode, she told CeCe that she needed to come across as more likable. Then 2 weeks in a row Demi gives her bad song choices and over-produced performances that leave her having to sing again to save herself.
BTW, Drew (from Emblem 3) is the male version of CeCe, personality-wise. Most of the time, he comes off very smug and full of himself. I thought he got a little rude awakening when he screwed up his part on their song at the”judge’s house”, but he seems to have forgotten that.

And re the “ratings ploy” vs “ratings’ ploy” thing. We’re just going to have to agree to disagree. The ploy does not belong to the ratings. The ratings are not trying to trick us. The ploy belongs to Simon. It should read “Simon’s ratings ploy” if it is going to be grammatically correct. The word “ratings” just modifies what is being “ployed”

As a non-watcher of XF (or Voice) with not a drop of interest in either, yesterday was possibly the most boring day in the history of my participation in in this blog! Today promises to be no better, unless something huge happens in “Idol World” or Mercedes gives us some good movie reviews!
Phillip2 was on ENEWS! last night, and sand “Home”. No backup singers, so he did the whole thing, including chorus. Sounded really good. And looks much healthier. He’s a really cute and sweet-seeming guy.

My “Revenge” days are starting to look numbered – just so much “revenge” I can take before it gets boring. But, glad I hung in with “Last Resort” – it’s become pretty action-filled lately.

Great point about the lack of production! That is the one thing about XF I have hated the most.

I get lost in trying to see the singer many times.

Harriett: Due to both the stupid late-running football, and the fact the networks have chosen Sunday as the night to put on much of what I watch, I too have given up on “Good Wife” – I hate it because that’s such a great show, but the late starts affected the whole evening of shows so it had to go. Wish it would go to Thurs when I don’t really have any later evening shows. Or Tues 9 or 10.
I’ll be glad to discuss “Revenge” or “Revolution” with you anytime – I’ve been watching both, though I’m getting a little weary of “Revenge”.

I have liked CeCe from the begining. But, I think Demi doesn’t know what she is doing. Her song choices are terrible for everyone. She is not old enough to be a mentor!!! Her manager and producers made her what she is!!! I think I would tell CeCe to pick her own songs, pick her own style, get away from the blonde, and be her self!!! Last night for her battle song, I think her nerves got the best of her.

I’m not surprised with Brock leaving. He was a little… well he was just a little to gay. Which would be fine, but he also wasn’t really good enough or appealing enough. I would be fine with losing CeCe too. About the only thing going for her is her voice. I guess she could be good looking, but since she’s so ugly on the inside it kinda ruins her outside.

I also really liked how they put up the vote rankings. I loved Tate, so I’m not surprised he’s #1.
I was kind of surprised that Carly was #2, but that’s ok. She’s not bad, but I don’t think she’s solid enough to earn the #2 voting spot.
The only ones I was sorta dissapointed in was how low Lyric and Jennell were. But hopefully they’ve got room to grow. Lyric is kinda far out, so I could see how some may not prefer them. But they’re talent is so awesome to me. They’re so entertaining. And rap groups usually suck, really suck live. So for them to be so together and clean, and the level of difficulty that they perform with just really impresses me.
I do wish Paige was lower, I’m really unimpressed with her. I also really hate how they talk about how “original” she is. Sorry, ain’t buyin it. Looks like they watch Rhianna performances and just try to copy them. But I still give her about 4 weeks tops to remain on the show.
The only drawback I see to showing the rankings is that it could skew results and make people vote for the lower ones even more fervently.

Re Brock: Sometimes the contestants on singing shows display so little personality other than “Gee I want to win SO BAD” that having someone who isn’t afraid to show who he is can be refreshing. Even CeCe, who I suspect has been set up to seem more villainous than she may actually be, has more personality than most of the others.

Deirdre, not sure if I am or not. I kind of understand her appeal to the youngins, her sweet girl aura and girl next door kind of looks, but she has had a lot of boyfriends since she’s come to the scene. Sometimes I think she can sing and sometimes I think she can’t. I feel the same way about Eryka Badu. Her bubble gum songs can be infectious, but I like Katy Perry more.

Funny story. I was talking to my wife the other night and I said “you know what, I actually like that pop song about never ever getting back together”. She smirked at me and said “do you know who sings that song?” I said “no…why (very sheepishly)”. She said Taylor Swift, and I was like UGHHH. You mean she actually does a song that I like? lol heck I even said at frist, there’s no way because there is actually decent singing in that song. So I had to look it up (cute video by the way), and whatya know. So I guess I can’t say Taylor Swift is 100% garbage now, only 95%. And that’s my Taylor Swift story.

I actually did too for the most part. However, in a popularity contest he probably pushed the envelope a little bit too much. Like when he pinched Mario’s but. What if that would of been one of the Emblem 3 guys or Veno or someone like that, and they pinched Khloe’s but? I wonder how that would of gone over?
I think if I was on one of these shows, and I really wanted to win, you can’t take your eye off the objective. To appeal to as many people across the nation that are willing to pick up a phone or computer and vote for you.

For some reason, this second page is full of vertical lines!
Harriett, I keep up with Revenge, Revolution and PoI too, but several eps are still not watched.
“In no particular order” – especially liked it when RoboHost had only two people left to “order”.
MerleK3 – aggressive rocker chicks never made it on Idol, and probably wont on XF either. Cece sounded aggressive-fake and sad, as if she’s just realized all the “improvements” are bad and she has the worst mentor on the show. Britney may not say much as a judge but at least she leaves her charges’ personalities alone.
Lovato’s idea of mentoring is to play with her people as if they’re live dolls. Redo hair, make-up, clothes, tell them what to sing.

Seth T, I agree with most of your post except your placement of Vino Alan in your “Ground Floor” ranking. Considering the fact that he had the 3rd highest total vote, that ranking sounds less like a thoughtful prediction and rather more like a personal dislike of him.”"”
Actually, I would be more inclined to buy an album of Vino’s soul music than any of the others. How I placed them was based partially on odds I have seen, blended with voting results from last night.
That put Vino in the 2nd group of 4, rather than the first. Each performance and eliminination will put a different spin on ratings.
CeCe was middle-of-the-pack initially, because she actually has a very good voice for sweeping ballads. Demi’s infatuation with make-overs and bad advice have driven her to the bottom, and this could happen with anyone else as well, as X-Factor tends to want to blast the massive walls of stage lights, add the distacting dancers, pile-on the cheese and contort their acts into bizarre characters.
I think Vino’s main early competition will be Tate, Jennel, Paige, and possibly Diamond — He’s not really competing with the voting blocks of Carly Rose, 5th Harmony or Beatrice Miller – they are a universe in themselves, for voters.
Arin Ray, Emblem 3 and Lyric 145 are more in competition with each-other, than with Vino or Tate. Although I think if Lyric goes before one of them,(which is likely) it will benefit Vino more than Tate.

Sorry, G, but you’re wrong. Taylor Swift already had a number of hits BEFORE Kanye made an ass of himself on the awards show. I didn’t care much for her at the time (due to the times I heard her sing live and was unimpressed with her singing sans autotune) but she was widely known before that.

I remember having many discussions on the Idol board about Taylor deserving or not deserving awards BEFORE the Kanye thing. She was nominated for a Grammy, earned 2 ACM awards with 5 nominations, 5 AMA’s with one nomination, 4 CMA’s with 1 nomination, 5 CMT awards, nominated for a VMA the year before the incident…
2 number one albums on the Country charts, one of those also number one on the US chart, 4 top 20 US hits before 2009, 7 top 10’s on the Country charts.
Why am I looking up Taylor Swift… I don’t know.

Okay, I understand what you did, now. However, I think anyone making (or taking) odds on who’s going to win one of these shows is basing their prediction less on factual or statistic data (WGWG aside) than on W.A.G. (wild ass guess).

Now I wonder if they will have Tate play guitar on some of his preformances.

If memory serves, Timothy Dalton played James Bond at some point.

It appears Simon is taking a cue from Idol. He is now AT LEAST IN THE UK having the contestants go on tour. It seems like the American Version is following that of the UK since they’re a few weeks ahead. I bet they announce it in a few weeks. Here’s a link.

Morning!
I’m in beautiful San Jose babysitting Lucas!
Hubby is holding down the fort at home.

Lucky girl! I’m in cloudy, soon to be rainy, muggy ATL – the temps have gone up, sadly, so it’s uncomfortable and humid here!
Hope no other regulars died last night on “WD”! I’ll find out tomorrow night.
Saw “SkyFall” – it was ok – the second half a whole lot better than the first. Missed the humor, glamour and romance (albeit “cheap thrill romance”) of all the other Bond films. No glamourous casino scenes with well-dressed people, barely a lick of humor, and the “pretty girl” was barely in the film long enough to call her an official “Bond Girl”! There sure were lots of beautiful deep blue eyes though, between DC, Judy D and Ralph Fiennes. All have really beautiful blue eyes.

Hi, friends! It is nice here in Columbia, SC for now. Supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow, though. Hate, hate, hate the cold weather that will come before long. But, I will enjoy every nice day as a gift until then.
Mercedes, did you watch Revenge last night or are you waiting to view it later? I have a question.

I watched it, Harriett. Not sure what’s going on with the fake Amanda! Ask and I’ll see if I can answer, with a Warning! so if M or D hasn’t seen it yet, they’ll stay away.

Sam-A… Kennesaw weather drifting into B-head.
Harriett… I have still to watch Revenger (AND 666 Park Avenue, Revenge and Once Upon a Time…seriously, I have recorded 6 eps of OUAT and ther never seems to be any time to watch it)

OMG, Mercedes! We may never get to discuss!
And, Sam, it is Nolan that I am questioning. Not to reveal too much. Deirdre doesn’t watch Revenge, but Mercedes does.

If it’s the s-x ?, guess he’s Bi. The whole show was a little confusing to me. The thing with “Emily” and the journalist – didn’t understand at all the deal she was trying to talke him into – sounded nutty to me.

Morning!
If this is still where “the Regulars” hang out.
Can the Petraeus (sp?) story get any weirder??
Will TRY to catch up on my Revengers… Nolan is my favorite character so I’m looking forward to whatever that discussion is going to be about.
