X Factor, Ep. 2.1: Auditions

Paige Thomas-Ok, but not outstanding. Her daughter is cute as a button though!

Shawn Armenta-he's 50 and been preparing for a year! Oh my...what a joke!

Reed Deming-he's so cute, and so mature for 13. He sings with so much emotion. You can hear the nerves in his voice, but this kid has star power and a lot of potential. It was close, but he ended up with 4 yeses!

Kaci Newton-ANNOYING! What a holier-than-thou attitude! Did not care for her snarky facial expressions and eye-rolling backstage during Paige's audition. Not to mention all of her snarky comments to her sister about Paige's look and her daughter before. All this and she hasn't even sung yet! And they just keep showing her! She's getting way too much exposure. What's with the old lady pearls and the pink pant suit? Yuck. I sure hope she isn't any good. And I'm in luck...it's horrible. Off pitch, shaky and all over the place! I knew someone with that much attitude couldn't be good. Simon says she sounded like she was dying and that she was quite annoying! Thank you Simon, she needed to hear that!

Quatrele Da'an Smith-one word: yuck. Ugly man in a wedding dress...are you kidding me? Singing Lady Gaga's "Born this Way". Yeah, that's about right. Unfortunately, his singing actually isn't that bad. He actually makes it through!

Vincent Thomas-an x-boy bander. He's cute, but he has a lot of nerves for someone who has performed as much as he said he has. Too bad, he just didn't quite cut it.

Emblem 3-they are a good-looking group. It's always risky doing an original song, but it paid off for them! They have a really different sound, very unique. I really like them, snd so do the judges.

Don Philip-sang with Britney Spears in 1999 on her first album. I like the song they did as a duet, from way back when. Unfortunately, the years have not been kind to him. His voice has gotten very scratchy, and he just couldn't find the pitch. For the first time, the crowd was actually booing! Britney looked embarassed for herself and for him. Poor guy, I felt bad for him. He looks like he's been through a lot and he was pretty devastated.

Janelle Garcia-love her! She's so tiny and cute, but what a powerful voice! So clean and pure and she's got a lot of stage presence. She had perfect pitch the entire song, and it was a tough song: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals-"Paris".

Jillian Jensen-she's got an amazing voice! I love her! You can feel the pain in her voice. You would never know she was only 19. To be able to sing while breaking down crying, is so hard to do, but she just kept going. She even msde Simon cry! Wow.
