The X Factor Season 2

by Todd Betzold

 

From some Panda Pie to the rapping Rizzloe, last night's auditions on The X Factor were amazing and I am pumped to see what FOX has in store for us tonight. I am voting to show more Demi Lovato because she is funny and less Britney Spears because she says the same critiques over and over again!

 

After a look at the judges in their hotel rooms, we now get a look at the auditions in Greensboro, NC. They are all hopeful that the small town will bring out some big talent. The town is dad because everyone is at the auditions, but Simon Cowell takes his time and gets some grits first. Julia Bullock, an unemployed 18 year old and Krysten Colon, a 21 year old hairdresser, are the first ones we get a look at.

 

Willie Jones, a 17-year-old student, is the first audition of the day. His family is a big part of his life and he is glad they came with him on the 14-hour drive to the audition. Willie shocks everyone when the country song comes on. Demi Lovato said that he looks like Fresh Prince and now he comes out singing country. He is good and can hit those real low notes, but he struggles more with the higher notes, so who knows. L.A. said he is an absolute original. Britney said she was very surprised and very original of him. Demi said he is really likable and to stay that person. Simon said this is why he wanted to come to Greensboro and his voice is a sensational recording voice. The judges all say yes and he is moving on.

 

We are sticking with the country theme in Greensboro as Kalvin McManigle, a 47 year old Lawn Mower Factory Worker, hits the stage looking like a hot mess. He might have four teeth in his mouth and can't remember the song he is going to sing. He may even be drunk and everyone in the audience just watches in shock. Simon said he couldn't understand a word he said and Britney said she is scared she might be related to him!

 

Julia Bullock now takes the stage and she seems to have her stuff together, but then we find out she is actually part of a band but she came her by herself. They said the band is broken up because she is doing this. Her ex-boyfriend is part of the band and he clearly has some issues with this all. I like her and she is very comfortable on stage and she has the crazy hair, but she sounds really good and her ex-boyfriend looks sad backstage. Simon said he thinks she is really, really good and he loves her image. Simon said she is exactly what he has been looking for and loved her song choice. Four yeses and a goodbye to her band!

 

Krysten Colon gets her chance on the stage and she said she has finally gotten the confidence to do what she enjoys doing in the shower. She takes on an Adele song, even though Simon said before he doesn't want to hear another Adele song. I think he may want to hear this one, as she does really good, but Simon cuts her off kind of early. Simon said it is kind of sound-alike and we are not hearing her. He wants to hear her make a twist on an old classic and come back later to sing for them again, so she gets a break.

 

Jeffrey Gutt, who is a 36-year-old musician, is a single father and he said this is his last chance to make it big. His son is adorable! He sings "Hallelujah," which is a huge song to take on and he does well and with a little rocker edge to it. I am liking it. The crowd loves it as well, as they keep screaming long after for him. Britney said she loved how mysterious his voice was. L.A. said he is a fan. Thunder comes in during Demi's critique and she said that God is even rocking out right now (I love her)! Simon said it is one of the greatest auditions he has ever heard. It is four yes votes for Jeffrey and out runs his son, which was such a cute moment.

 

Krysten keeps working on her new song in the back, as the lighting hits outside and rain starts leaking into the stadium. As the weather gets bad outside, the auditions on the stage get just as bad! A look at some terrible auditions has then brought Krysten back to try her audition again. This time she takes on a Whitney Houston song, so don't doubt this girl...she goes for the big singers. She has a good voice inside her, but it just seemed to be a weird audition. She seemed nervous and I don't know if it affected her that much or not. What do you think? She sounded good at parts, but then terrible at other parts. It was baffling, but she also took on Whitney. She then goes crazy backstage and flinging water at the camera, yelling at people, lifting a chair in the air and runs out into the rain as her Mom apologizes.

 

The X Factor airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8/7c on FOX.
