‘X-Factor’ To Allow Fan Votes Via Twitter

• I thought it was a great show last night.

  Melanie, Drew, Stacy, Leroy, Josh could easily give singers on American Idol from any season a run for their money.

• I think Nicole S. is the biggest winner of the season. As a judge, I find her warm and likeable! Poor Cheryl Cole, though.

• Is anybody else annoyed that they use backing and recording tracks….unlike AI that uses “live” bands? Maybe it’s more expensive paying union players, and XF is cutting cost with the recorded tracks, but it annoys me to no end. I thought there were a handful of good performances, but I’m still not warming to this show which I think is AGT with Singers only.

• Good idea.

  HOw many votes will people get? Just one or will they be able to vote multiple times. Good way to get the # of followers up

  Also XF hasn’t announced if voters will vote out the one with least votes or if they’ll do what the UK does and the viewers decide a bottom 2 and then the judges vote someone out (which doesnt seem fair if the judges are in competition.) As many reviewers noted, the show is going to turn into the judges criticizing each other instead of contestants. We get it – Simon VS LA…with Nicole turning into the old Paula- why is she on this show? Replace Nicole in Season 2 should be the twitter trending topic…Plus I doubt season 2 is gonna get $5 million – even in the UK they’ve dropped the million pound prize.

• I am very disappointed with the outcome of tonights show. I thought Staceys performances last night and tonight warranted her leaving the show but Astros attitude should have been his immediate boot off the show. While i agree he is a very talented rapper, R & B performer and writer, his cocky, disrespect and thuggish attitude sends the wrong message to young up coming artists. I am surprised Simon didn’t vote him off strictly because of his disrespectful attitude. If i were his mother i would have been very embarrassed by his behavior. What a show of being a sore loser. He just thought he was to good to be in the bottom 2 and had no problem showing his disapproval. I think they should have made an example of his horrible attitude. He should have performed his heart out and been very appreciative and thankful for all the votes and the opportunity afforded him. But no he had to show out like the immature child he is. It’s a shame he got to move on. He will never get my vote…….
