After three months of competition, it came down to the final three – Melanie Amaro, Josh Krajcik and Chris Rene – battling it out to become the first winner of “The X Factor.”

Viewers chose one of the songs they wanted to hear the Final Four sing this week in the much-hyped Pepsi Challenge. And obviously, the viewers were locked in some kind of ‘90s time warp.

Weak dance songs and boring personal songs dominated this week’s “X Factor,” but it was dumbass judge Nicole Scherzinger who made all the headlines with an elimination miscalculation.

“The X Factor” decided Michael Jackson has been dead long enough to have its wannabes and nevergonnabes shit all over some of his best songs for another horrible theme week.

In the sprit of Thanksgiving, The X Factor moved to Tuesday and Wednesday this week to avoid giving the country indigestion and also to unceremoniously dump two contestants.

I’d rather walk on my lips than agree with anything LA Reid has to say, but where was the Rock ‘n Roll on this week’s supposed theme episodes of “The X Factor”?

I had hoped “The X Factor” would not follow “American Idol's” lead with stupid theme nights, but this week was movie songs, and it was one the worst in the series so far.

The fates of the final 12 contestants on “The X Factor” are now in the hands of the voting public. Live performances kicked off Wednesday night, voting was held and now there are just 11 left.

Despite the corny announcer, blinding stage lightening and overstaged performances, “The X Factor” is still more cut-throat than any other reality music show on television.

I have to hand it to “The X Factor.” They did a bit of a mindfuck on America with their choices, and singers you thought were guaranteed spots in the live shows were sent packing.
