Wow, didn’t young Carly Rose Sonenclar seem awfully composed for a 13-year-old when she appeared on The X Factor Thursday night? Not to mention talented, of course.

September 13, 2012 By Mark Franklin 0

Britney Spears was cast as a potentially tough judge on The X Factor Season 2 premiere Wednesday night. Now, it doesn’t appear she’s going to challenge Simon Cowell for the classic putdown crown.
