X Factor Recap: Fame and Whores (Auditions 5)


We get a quick little side show of Nick Youngerman who does Ice Ice Baby. Brit Brit loves the hell out of it and dances while grinning like a fool for his whole audition.

Four YAY!’s and he’s off the stage.

In line we watch a couple in love. BARF in love. I don’t “mind” love per se but these two are groping and goo gooing and it is barfalicious. They want to win the $5,000,000 to use for a wedding that Simon Cowell would officiate. When they walk onstage and act all cutesy Britney gives them the stink eye that I want to give them. It occurs to me before they start singing that I haven’t even bothered to learn their names they annoy me so much. And just to please us further they are doing an original. Oh good.

Barfalicious – Will You Be My Baby by Barfalicious

Dear Jeebus. This song was as off key and terrible as they are the judges call them corney and Simon mentions that they could audition for a cruise. Four thank everything NO!’s.

Gracing us next is David Correy.  David believes he was meant to do this. David was adopted from Brazil, his mom was 14 when she gave him up to a better life.  He believes that if he gets on this show, he could reach out to her with his voice. Nice story but I am not really sure that American X Factor is all too popular in Brazil.

David Correy – Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars

Note for note. EXACTLY like Bruno Mars. Which in my mind is not a good thing. We already have a Bruno Mars. We are looking for something new. I hope he loses the karaoke king voice and pulls through. The judges love him way more than I do and give him credit for exactly what they have called other singers out on. He gets four YAY!’s and I guess we will see how far he goes.

Out in line we meet a nervous young lady waiting to make her mark on the world. All on her own. Her name is Sophie Tweed-Simmons. Her dad is Gene Simmons. From KISS. In an attempt to step out from his shadow Sophie leaves the family at home and takes the bus to the audition. LMAO No she doesn’t. She shows up in a chauffeur driven car, with famous parents in tow. Way to stay under the radar!! As soon as Sophie steps out on stage Demi yells,”You’re Nick’s sister!”  giving Sophie even more of that anonymity that she craves.

Sophie Tweed-Simmons – Make You Feel My Love by Adele

WOW is she ever nervous.  You can hear the tremor in her voice and her stage presence is awkward.  She isn’t AMAZING but she isn’t bad either. I kind of like the “oldness” to her voice. The judges are honest with her about her ability giving me hope for this show and LA Reid gives her a no. But Britney, Demi, and Simon keep the connection to Simmons open by giving her YAY!’s. She needs to practice or she will be eaten alive at boot camp.

I live in the wonderful land of Canadia.

I am the warden of a teen and not teen.

In my spare time I like wine, TV, and wine.

Sometimes I like stuff but mostly I like things.

I am loud mouthed and am not afraid to show my true colours.  What you see is what you get.  Unless you add wine.  Then you get more.

In a perfect world I would rule it. And you would all bring me dirty rock stars.  It would be a good life for all even though I wouldn't reward you.  Your reward would be knowing I'm happy. Also, bring wine.  I would like that. Don't be sad. If stuff wasn't all about me it would be all about the Kardashians. Lesser of two evils. Well, more tolerable of two evils. OK well, I at least would encourage drinking. JEEZ QUIT BEING SO NEEDY AND GET OFF MY BACK. I would let you use my air. There. Happy? Now leave me alone.

    PearlBlackDragon, I was in the audience for that session of taping in Providence, so I might give you a little insight here:

    Yes, “OG” really was that hilariously bad. Demi and Simon kept mocking them for the rest of the show, and afterwards, the emcee said, “well…that just happened.” Ha! Oh, they were so bad, my mother and I couldn’t stop laughing and making fun of them (we still do!).

    Dinah Jane actually didn’t start off singing “If I Were a Boy”–she sang something else first, Simon stopped her shortly into it and asked if she had anything else, and that’s what she went with. They let her do almost the entire song. Editing! I was pretty far back from the stage, so I couldn’t see her very close up, but yes, she looks way older than “15″.

    Changyi Li was HILARIOUS. Oh man, Demi was nearly peeing herself with laughter. After awhile, Simon just said, “what the hell” and let her do the entire song. I’ll agree, best audition ever. Again, edited for time, but he really did say the bit about her being cast as the iceberg in a remake of Titanic, which was awesome. Love you, Simon!

    I’m not sure if they showed the group of 3 who made it in the montage, as I was at drama club rehearsal, but if not, I’m sure we’ll see them at boot camp.

    I agree with you on just about everything. Tired of babies declaring their ”whole lives ” have been spent dreaming of this one chance. Yuk! And Gene Simmons isn’t a great singer.He has a gimmick. Now he has money. That doesn’t translate into a voice for the daughter. She was -bad-really bad. Tara was better-but her attitude made her bad news.Universally,the auditioners that get ahead are polite, humble, and endearingingly sincere. They have personalities, not just funny hair or odd hats or famous dads. I have to watch Dinah again.
    I thought she had something odd about her but I thought it was perhaps,backwoods dentistry.
    Really thought the judges yes-ed too many people-and calling them stars? Criminal.

    I agree too, they must have a diaper vendor truck in the parking lot at these things!!!

    @Meaghan, we’re you there to try out, and did you?

    I was home late, after a night out, so I didn’t really focus much on this running in the background. No one knocked me out.

    Looks like the kiddies have a tough cookie to crack . . . unless they get lumped into lammo vocal groups . . . sigh . . . like how well the kid who was back did. I will say, he was rather adorable, cute dimples, and his song was well done, very modern, moved the right way, seemed simple enough, and he sang it ok. Not bad for an audition with an original.

    I want to write, “If I Was a Girl”, just so all my friends can say, “You mean you’re not!?”

    No one has been as good as some of the kiddies from last week . . . I do kinda like boot camp. Last time, at judges houses, everything screamed sleaze to me . . . so we’ll see if this goes any better.

    I would have told Changy Li to try comedy. She was reminding me of Judy Tenuta a bit . . .

    I always wonder what the children of people like Mr. and Mrs. Simmons think, as they watch their parents slowly transform into freaks of plastic surgery?

    I agree these auditions shows are awful. And incredibly drawn out. It would make a lot more sense to just focus on the people who make it to boot camp, show their auditions and leave it at that. Kind of like the Voice does. But I don’t think the Voice has auditions?

    Parts of these shows move rather fast, IMHO, and I do think the soundtrack running in the background through most of it, is usually upbeat and modern. LA must get rights to songs much more easily or something.

    @Itchy, agreed! Dr. 90210 should hang his head in shame!!! (not sure it was him) Gene was never much to look at without the make up, but she was gorgeous back in the day, there is like no remnant of her former self left in that face . . . sadly . . .

    Wow, I was going to paste a link to a google search . . . but that Shannon was one drrrty grrl!!! Definitely NSFW, hee.

    @juddfan , I was in the live audience. I’m a terrible singer; that’s why I’m a crew member for drama club!

    I love Trevor’s YouTube videos. He does all of these dance videos at the Apple Store. Well, I loved them when I first watched them. After a couple, it gets old. I’ve never heard him sing, though. If I had as many subscribers as Trevor, I would be taking advantage of that. But he just posts dance videos.

    Right, so it’s up to me to ask all the REAL questions? Like, it’s obvious where Ms. Kiss Jr. inherited her rack from. But did she get papa’s tongue?

    Talk about X-factors!

    I’m hoping for more recaps too. I hope you haven’t decided to abandon ship. The Kardashian news was a low blow but carry on! YOU CAN DO EET!

    On Audition 4 recaps: “OH! And PBD, I’ve been meaning to compliment you on your quick recapping skills. LOVE IT!”

    I feel like I cursed it. :( Hope everything is okay, PBD, but we miss you and your recaps terribly! :( It kinda feels like not worth watching a television show if there’s no recaps to go along with it.
    Hell, who am I kidding? I love watching this garbage!
