Wow, Simon Cowell loves to see himself on TV, doesn’t he?
Well, I mean we all know that.
But he outdid himself over the past two weeks.
First he and his gals get the pimp spot on every judges’ mansion episode.
Then Simon, being the humble guy he is (LOL) admits he makes a mistake and hogs up the end of Tuesday’s episode driving unannounced (yeah, right) to contestant Melanie Amaro’s home to invite her back into the competition.
Frankly, Simon did the worst of any of the judges in terms of picking his finalists.
Who did the best?
Paula Abdul, hands down. Though her category is probably the weakest.
Here’s the final 17, with a thumbs up or a thumbs down or a neutral based on how I feel about their selection.
The X Factor will be back Tuesday night with its first live show.
Are they going to squeeze 17 performances into a 2-hour show? If so, that will be something to see.
Girls:
Drew Ryniewicz (major thumbs up)
Melanie Amaro (thumbs up)
Simone Battle (thumbs down)
Tiah Tolliver (thumbs down)
Rachel Crow (thumbs down)
Boys:
Chris Rene (neutral)
Marcus Canty (thumbs up)
Phillip Lomax (thumbs down)
Brian Bradley (major thumbs down)
Over 30s
Josh Krajcik (thumbs up)
LeRoy Bell (major thumbs up)
Dexter Haygood (thumbs down)
Stacy Francis (thumbs down)
Groups
Intensity (thumbs up)
Lakoda Rayne (thumbs up)
Stereo Hogzz (thumbs up)
The Brewer Boys (neutral)

Why was SH picked over Anser? They only have one good singer & the other three just dance around him wherease all three voices of Anser are exceptionally perfect & their blend is imecable. I’m completely shocked!
I am boycotting this show and so should you. The 12 year old girl in that big kiddie group should not even be on tv. She is my teacher’s daughter. When we asked about her, he said he did not even give the show permission to put her on tv. The show knows they do not have his permission but put his little girl on tv anyway. That is just wrong! We are boycotting this show and so should you. They are breaking up families!!!!!
