according to "ratings" not many americans are into the show so i don't expect anyone to really care about my opinion on it. but i can't help it. i'm a sucker for seeing kids, and older folks, but mostly kids going for it - laying everything out there and experiencing their talent. i stumbled upon a pretty good x factor article on espn.com oddly enough... check it out if you have 10 minutes to kill.
here are my favorites...
1. melanie amaro - 4 words... watch her 1st audition. actually watch the judges reaction to her 1st audition. i'm never good at picking winners of these talent shows but i'm great at picking the runner-ups (predicted archuleta and lambert at #2). just because i think she should win, she'll be a runner-up.
2. drew rysjsdfnioswei - 14 years old? uncanny and genius arrangement styles that showcase her voice. she combines soul, country, and fiona apple-ness with a youthful appeal. keeps it real with spastic body movements.
3. brian bradley aka astro - 14 years old? will smith's humor, jay-z's brash delivery, writes his own age-appropriate lyrics. the fact that he made it this far in a singing contest proves his talent.
these are my favorites based on the excitement i feel before they perform. i never quite know whats gonna happen, i just know its gonna be good and more importantly, interesting. so many of these contestants' performances are predictable... good but predictable.
