I used the BPF for The X Factor Finale report last night.  (We had homework issues...I didn't get to X Factor until late last night...BPF is just easier)

• The "You Are Not Alone" tribute for the victims of Newtown CT was really nice and touching, but the performances weren't great.  Was Simon actually tearing up at the beginning?
• Overly dramatic opening with those X Factor warriors was a bit ridiculous
• Demi and Britney looked good
• What is wrong with Khloe Kardashian? That skirt was ridiculous...way too short. Mario must just roll his eye when she comes out of her dressing room.
• Each contestant sang 3 songs (One too many in my opinion)
• Carly Rose: Song 1-"Feeling Good"-heard it before, Song 2 (accompanied by LeAnn Rimes) "How do I?"- Didn't love it & Song 3, "Hallelujah"- one of my all time favorite songs (I collect them actually) but interestingly not one I want to add to my collection.
• Tate Stevens: Song 1- "Anything Goes" flawless, Song 2-(accompanied by Little Big Town) "Pontoon" was a fun tune for him to perform, Song 3 "Like There's No Tomorrow" was a really strong rendition of that one. 
• Fifth Harmony: Song 1-"Anything Could Happen" Can you say OVER produced? Song 2-(accompanied by Demi Lovato) "Give Your Heart A Break" was cute, and  Song 3-"Let it Be" was really good and a great way to end the competition.

I honestly think that Carly Rose will win this thing, but all 3 acts will do just fine, especially Tate, I think the country music community will welcome him with open arms.  Personally, I'm glad the X Factor is over.  It's been hard to stick with it this season, but only one more night and I'm done!

NEWS & INFORMATION:

*The Voice finale on Tuesday night was up 11% year over year against RA18-49 and also up 18% in total viewers. What's weird to me is that their social buzz numbers were number one for the night, but they are nothing compared to the million + that X Factor generates even though X Factor's ratings are much lower than The Voice.
*I guess I'm not getting what I really want for Xmas...my Jimmy Fallon platonic sleepover, but I'm not giving up, I will continue to pursue my dream of becoming true friends with JF.  I want to play Water War with him at my house.  At least I know the rules of the game...check out this clip with Tom Cruise.  It appears the guy has never played War before.
