The X-Factor hasn’t even aired on Fox and already there seems to be trouble behind-the-scenes. According to TMZ Cheryl Cole is out as a judge and host Nicole Scherzinger is going to replace her. The site says that the reason for the change is because her English accent is too thick and us Yanks won’t be able to understand her. If you listen to the above video of her on The British version of the show, you can hear her thick accent but I could understand her. But I can see that it might be hard for others. TMZ also claims that there was no chemistry between Paula Abdul and her, so they decided to keep the Straight Up singer.
Meanwhile Deadline Hollywood is saying nothing is decided yet, but a source told them there is chemistry issue.
Personally I can see her not connecting with the contestants who are auditioning because they have no idea who she is and why would they want her to coach them. Now when it comes to The Pussycat Doll, the best thing about her being on the Fox show is that she was no longer going to be a judge on NBC’s The Sing-Off. She was useless and dull on that show and I expect the same of her on X-Factor. To be honest I really wasn’t considering watching the show because I am overdosed on signing competition shows, and with her taking over as a judge it solidifies that I will not be watching.
And last night Haley Reinhart just fell. The wannabe American Idol fell down on her knees after she thought going down and serenading the judges was good idea. Turned out the be a bad idea for her, and the only good moment of the show this whole entire season.
Seriously am I the only who can’t wait for this season to be over next Wednesday?

Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul were promoting The X Factor at the Fox Upfronts and I have to wonder if the media mogul has something to us about what he has going on with Paula Abdul’s nose? Seriously what is up with the way he is playing with her snout? I have never seen an adult do that to someone that wasn’t under the age of 5.
I guess you can say he nose what he is doing with her schnoz. Nyuck, nyuck!

Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul were caught kissing and I wonder if the two of them have something to tell us? Nope it is just the two of them celebrating being together again as judges on their first day of The X Factor along with LA Reid and Cheryl Cole.
Am I the only one who can’t get into this show with all the names that are attached it? I mean there is no one making me want to watch and that is including those two kissing in the above picture.
BTW what is up with is up his Wonder Woman pose?
Next week the final 6 contestants of American Idol are going to sing the songs of Carole King and I want to know who she f*cked to get a theme week on the show. I mean how else would she have gotten it? Seriously I need an explanation because there are so many other artists I can think of before her for getting a theme week on the #1 show in America.
I would love to have been in the room when they told contestants whose repertoire of music they were going to choose from because if they are like me, they are like I heard the name, but what the f*ck does she sing? I even went to Wikipedia and looked at her discography and was like I know maybe 3 of the songs. I feel bad for the contestants because they are told to be current and they are given a singer whose music started to come out before their parents were born. Isn’t bad enough that they have had to suffer through Steven Tyler’s Creepy Leers of the Night?
Seriously what were the producers of the show thinking when they picked her name out of hat? I mean the ratings have been slipping every week, do they want to go down faster than I am assuming Pia Toscano did on Dancing with the Stars’ Mark Ballas. (I am not saying she did, I just needed a reference and that one worked…)
Now back to Carole King, I am not dismissing her extraordinary career, it is just that I don’t think she is good fit for American Idol. What do you think of her music as a theme week on the singing competition?
