Dear Santa,
I’ve tried to be a good boy this year — and not just because I want a new pony. The problem is, my job requires me to watch The X Factor for a living, and it’s turning me into a monster.
No, seriously, the cynical, horrible questions that went through my mind during Top 10 performance night left me feeling like I’d booked a one-way ticket to Hell; now it’s just a matter of whether I’m going express or local.
What kinds of questions am I contemplating, you ask? Oh, I dunno: As Diamond White...

There was no shortage of praise doled out by the judges on Wednesday's (November 2) episode of "The X Factor," with two performers hailed as budding superstars, one compared to a young Michael Jackson and a group praised as one of the world's best bands. And those acts weren't even considered the evening's front-runners!
Here's a recap of Wednesday's performances, and the compliments that followed:
The Girls
Following her rendition of the Eagles' "Desperado," Melanie Amaro was dubbed "the one to beat" in the competition by Cowell. Meanwhile, Rachel Crow's take on "Walking on Sunshine" caused Scherzinger to compare the 13-year-old to Jackson 5-era Michael Jackson, and Drew — formerly known as Drew Ryniewicz — wowed the judges with her unorthodox take on Nelly's "Just a Dream,...

How did you like the premiere of "The X Factor" Wednesday night? We aren't really sure the show actually has the x factor it is looking for - what did you think?
We did love, love, love Chris Rene, though.
Bienvenido a Miami
Ashley Sansone is our first audition. She's a little crazypants, so I'm not optimistic about her vocal stylings. I do fully expect her to bust, "No time! There's never anytime! I don't have time to study! ... I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so [sob] scared!" Seriously, lay off the speed, girlfriend. Predictably, her singer is awful. Moving on.
She leads into a whole montage of crazypants Miami folk. "Feisty" is not the word I would use, L.A. Reid.
Randomly, Gloria Estefan is there to work the crowd. Maybe she can come be Steve Jones' warm-up host in Los Angeles when they get to the live shows.

As reported on The Wrap earlier this week, Fox’s Lie to Me didn’t receive a back nine order, casting a shadow of doubt on its renewal chances for next season. The psychological drama, starring Tim Roth, is currently in its third season where it’s been hovering around a 2.0 (+/- .2) in the 18-49 demographic all season. That may not sound that bad (especially since it took over for Lonestar), but it airs behind aging but still powerful House, which pulls in about a point and a half higher most weeks.
Should fans be worrying about Lie to Me not getting a back order? Honestly, yes. There’s not a great track record for shows that have an initial 13 episodes that don’t get a back 9 in terms of getting renewed for next season and Fox isn’t in a situation to start bucking that trend. With Simon Cowell...

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with first announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the list over on Fox.
While the numbers overall slipped a bit this past season for the Murdoch network, it still attracts the most people in the key 18-49 demographic. "American Idol" remains a powerhouse and has weathered Ellen DeGeneres replacing Paula Abdul without issue, however with Simon Cowell departing next season many are wondering how big an impact that will have (Cowell's "The X Factor" starts up on the network next Fall).
"Bones" is arguably the safest drama series of the network right now, the show consistently rating between 9-11 million viewers and hasn't dropped off any of its viewership at all despite approaching the end of its fifth season. "House" remains a powerhouse but its heady days of 20-25 million...
