The End of X Factor For Me

That's right. Tonight marked the end of this season of X Factor US simply because they voted off all the good acts I supported [I stopped watching the UK version last week for the same reason]. Tonight, though, was a real travesty. How in the world could you vote off Drew and keep Marcus? Really? Seriously? Are they that inept?

I was surprised to realize that Drew was only fourteen years old. No wonder she took it as hard as she did, beside being blindsided like she was. No one - and I mean NO ONE - expected Drew to be in the bottom three, let alone GET VOTED OUT of the competition! Ludicrous. As our cousins across the pond say, I'm simply Gutted. Just Gutted.

I agree with Simon; it was his fault. And I think there is surely more to the story. Quite possibly Drew wanted to do more up-beat songs and Simon wouldn't let her. Some of her comments tonight truly showed her young age, but I can't imagine what it's like being thrust into the national lime-light like that, only to have it ripped out from under you. And she did so well with her save me song, too. 

Gutted. Simply Gutted. Now I need to brainstorm a little on what I'll write about on my blog. So much for the X Factor this year.
