US TV SERIES - X-FACTOR USA - New Season

[miyam210]

 :)New season start on September 11, 2013.  According to spoilers, may full pinay na pumasok sa live rounds.  Her name is ELLONA RANO SANTIAGO.  Actually, around 2 or 3 years ago,  when she was just 14 years old, nakapasok na siya as part of a group (Intensity) wherein she was the lead singer.  Ngayon sa Girl's category na siya and she is rumored to be in the top 4 out of the top 10 of the girls na pumasok sa live rounds.  At get this, 'massive stand-out pa raw siya'.

Ang mentor niya is Miriam Pantig na dating singer sa Pinas.  Magaling itong batang ito. Watch her videos here:

I'm watching it kahit nakakasawa na.
Love the "Toxic" couple although mababa ang survival rate ng male-female duo, mahihirapan sila sa expectations ng viewers/judges since interesting audition piece nila

Comebacks:
Si rocker single dad na gumwapo! ( nagkalaman ang cheeks, para siyang skeleton last season)

Dalaga na si Ellona! Napansin na siya before even as part of the group pero hindi bumenta ang mala- High School musical/Glee under Paula Abdul's coaching

Ilang beses na sinabi ni Simon na "you remind me of Kelly Clarkson - you are the one to watch out for- you are the reason why I do this show-and all the other gasgas lines. Most of the winners/top contestants eh forgotten na pagkatapos ng season.

too bad this show doesn't get as much media clout. Elona is doing good. Fingers crossed na hindi siya totally "ma-sabotage" ni Demi, may something sa pagmentor niya na off  even last season mabilis nalagas team niya.
I do hope Elona goes far, kaya niya sing and dance so  ibang flavor sa usual [textspeak!] contestants

Nasa top 6 na si Ellona. She was the 'best' according to the judges last week.  Sana 
maging top 4 man lang siya.  The judges praised this performance:

is it just me...? coz it seems that X-Factor favor group singers more than solo acts? para siguro maiba sa American Idol -- since halos same lang ang mechanics

anyway, Ellona and the other blond girl (both under Demi's group) were booted out last night. feel bad for Ellona 

[Marin]

too bad Elona is out!  I like Alex and Sierra to have an album,  I just don't see them as XFactor / reality/ competition winners. ( at may curse din sa winner,forgotten agad)
  Malakas talaga ang Restless Road - country artist ang nanalo last year tapos 3 cutie boys pa sila ( but let us admit - the group is very inconsistent , nadadala lang talaga sa  eyecandy ).
