The X-Factor Top 10 took the stage last night and performed Rock music.
Althought for a few people that didn't do their best, I was very impressed with a lot of performances, even though there were some that could possibly not be considered as rock.
I will just sum up by telling that I liked and hated about last night's show, since I really don't have time for a full recap.
What I liked:
Astro really impressed me with his rendetion of P. Diddy's I'll be Missing You, in which he again changed the lyrics, and made it a song about all the Hip Hop legends that have died over the past few years. I really enjoyed it, although it reminded me of something we'd see as an "In Memorium" tribute to dead rappers at the BET Awards.
I also really liked Leroy Bell's performance of Bob Seger's Why Won't you Stay, even though two out of the 4 Judges called it boring (Simon and LA).
Speaking of Simon, did you guys see he now has a Twitter? Now we get to see what's in his head more than once a Week. SWEET!!!
But back to the performances, even though it WAS a little boring, I thought Melanie Amaro did an awesome job with R.E.M's Everybody Hurts.
Chris Rene, who I am a huge fan was just ok to be last night, with his Bob Marley performance. I hope he can get out of this gutter he's in, and make a comeback.
Rachel Crowe still continues to impress me, and continues to grow in my mind as a front runner in the competition. If she keeps it up, I could see her at least getting 4th Place.
What I disliked/hated:
I'll start off with Stacey Francis by saying, when she is good, she is real good, and when she's bad, she makes me want to Put my ears into a woodchipper. Last night, she was horrible with her performance of It's all Coming back to me Now. I really think she could be in trouble after that performance.
I also thought Drew didn't do her best with U2's With or Without You, and I feel she needs to step it up before the competition ends for her.
I am a huge Josh Krajcik fan, but last night, I was just in the middle about his performance. He should really stay away from the Alternative Rock, and stick to the smooth Blue-Eyed Soul he has impressed us with during the beginning of the Competition. He is NOT a rock singer.
I also feel Lakoda Rayne could put an end to Paula in the comp, they did a horrible job with Fleetwood Mac's Go Your Own Way, and I think they need to Go their own way out of the Studio and take Stacey Francis with them.
Well, I guess we'll see after tonight who will be send packing, plus Rhianna performs (UGH). Until then, like Ultimate Reality on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ultimate-Reality/275923089117298#!/pages/Ultimate-Reality/275923089117298?sk=wall

Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovsky sent packing on Dancing with the Stars, after once again proving, what disrespectful, sore losers they are.
After outstaying their welcome about five weeks, Hope Solo and the very arrogant Maksim Chmerkovsky were eliminated in last night's Dancing with the Stars results show.
It's been a long time coming for the couple, who have been openly disrespectful to the judges during their run, causing a bitter exchanging of words between Maksim and the Judges, where Maksim exclaiming that Dancing with the Stars was HIS show.
The hatred and disrespect hit a fever pitch as we saw during the results show, in a Behind-the-scenes look at before the couple began dancing where Maksim looked at Hope and said very arrogantly, "f**** em[the judges]." Sounds pretty level headed doesn't it.
Hope also went in on the douchy action telling the judges to "kiss [her] booty," after she had recieved 7s for their first dance, and later added, "What we did, nobody can do, so [Judges] give us your little 8s."
When Hope and Maks were announced to be in Jeopardy, Hope gave a digsgusting, arrogant smile like she was better than everyone.
So much for the drama. Next week the Final 3 couples; JR Martinez and Karina Smirnoff, Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke, and Ricki Lake and Derek Hough will battle it out on Monday for the Mirror Ball Trophy at 8/7 Central on ABC.

Survivor's 24th Season rumors: Two Tribes seperated by gender, living on One Beach.
Survivor's 24th Season doesn't premier until February, but that hasn't kept our favorite spoiler site Survivor Sucks from finding out some info about the new season. According to the spoiler website, the 24th season will be entitled Survivor: One World and will borrow twists from past seasons.
The first major twist of the Season, is that Tribes will be divided Men vs Women. That's not all, both Tribes will live.......underwater.
Just kidding, this season the Two Tribes will live on one Beach. We have seen both twists to a degree before on the show. Survivor: Amazon and Survivor: Vanuatu both had Tribes seperated by Gender, and it worked out really well, and Survivor: Thailand featured the infamous Fake Merge which had both Tribes living on the same beach.
No word whether or not Redemption Island will return, however TrueDorkTimes shows a calander on their website which suggests Redemption Island will return.

The X-Factor = American Idol on Steroids
After much anticipation and shameless promoting, The X-Factor finally premiered last night on FOX. I have to say I was very excited leading up to the premier, and sure enough, it didn't disapoint. Between the good, bad, crazy, delusional, and sometimes Nude contestants, it was a very solid two hours.
It was fun to see Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul back together, and the addition of LA Reid and Nicole Sherzinger made the show even better. Plus the contestants were entertaining; and yes, very delusional at times.
The show got off to a good start with 13-Year-Old Rachel Crow who performed an ok rendetion of Duffy's Mercy. I say ok because why she has a good voice, she lacked control and seemed to hold the opening notes too long, "I'm begging youuuuuuu."
Although we got off to a good start with some really good auditions, including a 14-Year-Old boy who performed Cee Lo Green's Forget You causing every young teen girl in the audience to spontaneously have a seizure and a heart attack at the same time.
After a few good auditions like I said, the Auditions started to get Weird. The first Weird audition from the night name from the Artist regretfully known as Simeze. Yes Simeze had the confidence, and yes, the Arrogance to be a major superstar, he didn't measure up when it came to his voice, or his dancing.
Simeze, who said he idolized Prince performed a song and dance that would make any nursing home patient in america flatline due to shock. This included him dancing on the floor, and taking his shirt off to reveal what appeared t obe a see-through piece of material equivalent to a Wal-Mart bag.
Now of course the Judges didn't pass him through......think again. All the Judges, except for Rand...I mean LA sent him through to the next round.
Another reason the show was more like getting your teeth drilled into came in the form of a very old couple, Dan and Vanita, who said they would travel the world visiting retirement homes in an Rv if they won. This migh tbe better in the long run, considering most of their audience won't care what the hell they sound like. they wailed Unchained Melody, Simon's favorite song. Next time they need to make sure they start the song at the right time, because they started a verse late, and seemed to screech the song more than sing it.
We also met delusional, and possibly insane Nici Collins, who performed Best of my Love by the Emitions. I would have rather hear William Hung sing the song instead of her. The song wasnt even recognizeble, and included screaming the words.
Finally, the most weird audition of the name came in form of possible Mental Hospital escape patient Geo Godley; and Godley he is not. It started off rather tame, as he sang about being a stud, however it culminated when he literally went against Larry Platt's advice and dropped his pants, revealing his "Backup mic." He not only scarred millions of people, but caused Paula to vomit.
We also saw two very good auditions from Marcus Canty, who performed an awesome rendition of Stevie's Higher Ground, and recovering Addict Chris who performed an original song.
Tonight we see another Audition episode that HOPEFULLY doesnt feature any flashers, or Prince wannabees.

Top 12 men impress on first Idol performance show
Last night, the competition FINALLY got into a new phase when the Top 12 guys took the stage and performed on American Idol. It was a real exciting night of performances. Some good, some bad, and some we wouldn't touch with Steven Tyler's censor stick.
First up was Clint Jun Gamboa, who peformed a rousing rendetion of Superstition by Stevie Wonder. I know Clint is very talented, but since his antics during Hollywood week, I have a hard time becoming a fan. The performance was ok, yet it was a great way to start off the show.
The judges went easy on him and praised his performance, which contained too much over-singing. I think Clint has an awesome voice, but he needs to chill when it comes to high notes next time.
Up next was Jovany Baretto, who performed Edwin McCain's I'll Be. The performance was very karaoke-like, and I felt he was trying too hard. The Judges couldn't agree more with me.
NOTE: There isnt much recap of Jovany's performance because it was forgetteble.
After him was Jordan Dorsey who performed...............wait for it..................OMG by Usher
All I could think of saying when I found out what he was going to torture us with was, "What in the hell are you thinking."
Jordan got back to me and said, "I was thinking Usher!"
Seriously, he never got back to me, but the performance really did remind me of Jason Castro's performance of Bob Marley's I Shot the Sherrif.
The judges only didnt kill him with the comments, they talked to him like he was getting a lashing in court for a crime punishible by law, and rightfully so.
To make matters worse, Jordan even SAID he knew the song didn't fit him. At least we know your take on your performance. So much for being a legend like you said in your Interview package.
After Jordan's eardrum-rupturing performance, we heard from Tim Halperin who sang Streetcorner Symphony by Rob Thomas.
Although it was a little boring, I still really enjoyed it. He can sing. Tim Halperin actually somewhat reminds me of Tim Urban for some reason. I don't know why though.
After Tim was Brett Lowenstern, who performed Whip my Hair by Willow Smith.
No wait, sorry, my DVR accidently switched to MTV music videos mid-show.
Actually, Brett sang Light my Fire by The Doors.
I really like Brett's voice, and think it was a very fun performance.
The judges really loved not only the performance, but Brett's hair choreography, which took place during the perormance.
Before we went to commercial, Brett left the stage, but was called back by Seacrest. That is where Brett awkwardly hugged him.
After Brett was James Durbin, who performed You got Another Thing coming by Judas Priest.
It was an AWESOME performance. Enough screaming to carry the performance, and he didn't drown out the Vocals. All around a good job.
Robbie Rosen was next, and he performed Angel by Sarah Mclachlan
A good job for Robbie, but Randy didn't like it very much.
I really liked it, and so did Robbie's grandma, who looked like she was about to jump over the judges table and choke Randy with Steven's censor stick.
Anyway, Stefano Langoni performed Just the Way you are by Bruno Mars.
It was OK, nothing to jump out of your seat about. He also hit a horrible sharp note during a high part.
Up next was Scotty McCreery who sang Your Man by Josh Turner.
Just kidding, he performed Letters from Home by John Michael Montgomery.
He did AMAZING. I thought it was perfect.
The judges agreed.
Paul McDonald was next, and performed Maggie May by Rod Stewart.
It was a good performance, but I want Paul to do something different.
Jacob Lusk was next, and he belted out A House is Not a Home.
He owned the perormance. Everything about it was awesome, and made him a contender in the competition. He even made Steven and JLo cry.
The last of the night was Casey Abrams.
We didn't know whether or not he would be able to continue due to stomach problems, which he mentioned to Seacrest, who quickly backed away.
He performed I put a Spell on You, and really rocked it out. He was over the stage and proved why he was in the Competition.
My favorites of the night were Casey, Scotty, James, Jacob, and Willow
Damn it, I switched back to MTV!!!!
Anyway, stay tuned for my review of the girls and more Reality tv news.
Peace!
