The X Factor: Top 17

My recap/review of this week's Top 17 (& first live) episode of The X Factor is now up at OMGWire.com. Below are some excerpts from my commentary.

Click HERE to read the entire article.

Chris Rene - "Love Don't Live Here Anymore"
His song choice wasn't the best; maybe a little too subdued? I don't know. He still needs to work on his voice because it's still not the best. I hate to say it, but Astro might have been better. By the way, Chris Rene was one of the contestants I saw audition live in person when I attended one of the Seattle tapings back in June.

The Stereo Hogzz - "Try A Little Tenderness"
They're the best of the night so far. They have the whole package - excellent choreography and dance moves, great vocals, and the lead singer has a great voice. And a fantastic arrangement.

LeRoy Bell - "Nobody Knows"
Dexter gets the Most Energy Award, but LeRoy gets the Voice Award over him. I love his voice. The song was such a pleasant song. Some may say it's the wrong choice, but I liked it.

Melanie Amaro - "I Have Nothing"
She's been my favorite the entire season so far, and before tonight, I pegged her as the winner already. She's a pop star in the making. The song choice was a tad predictable, but she did great with it. My only negative is that she got a little off-pitch when she really went for those high notes, but it was quickly remedied once she steadied onto those high notes.

Bieber Guy's 'My World' Reviews

It has been almost two months now since I launched the new Bieber Guy blog with my first review. If you haven't checked out Bieber Guy yet, here's a summary of what the blog is all about:

Justin Bieber's core demographic fan base is tween and teen girls. I, however, am a 23-year-old MALE college graduate. No matter where you turn, there Bieber is: on every TV show and website imaginable. I can certainly understand why the girls are in love with him, but I am not necessarily a fan. But neither am I a hater and dislike him either; I would consider myself a neutral outsider. That's there this new blog comes into play. I will become the Bieber Guy and explore the world of Justin Bieber (listening to all of his songs and albums, watch his music videos, read his book, watch his movie, view his YouTube videos, etc). This isn't necessarily to see if I will have Bieber Fever by the end; I'm not guaranteeing I will. The purpose of this project is to understand him as an artist rather than judge him or write him off as a fad, as many people have done without even taking the time to listen to much of his music. There are many who have said he will have lasting power in the music biz, unlike other young singing stars like Miley Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers. Why is that? Let's explore...

As I said, I am two months into this project now. And I really am enjoying working on it, being able to listen to his music. And so far, I have found that I am enjoying much of his music more than I thought I would. But I digress; my overall thoughts will be left for a future day.

I am currently in the middle of reviewing Justin's full-length album, My World 2.0, which is his second music release. But before I go any further, I thought I would let you all know where you can read all of my reviews from his debut, the My World EP. Below are all the links to those reviews:

Debut Single: "One Time" (Updated)

2nd Single: "One Less Lonely Girl"

Promo Singles: "Love Me" & "Favorite Girl"

EP: My World


You can also check out that blog for the reviews I've done so far for My World 2.0. I'll make sure to let you all know when I'm completely done reviewing the songs from that release.

If you follow TV Watch Online on Twitter (@TVWatchOnline), I do post links to all my reviews there. But if you really want to stay updated on everything related to Bieber Guy and when the next blog and/or review will be online, follow Bieber Guy on Twitter @Bieber_Guy.
