x factor

'X Factor' veteran Arin Ray took on tonight’s challenge by performing ‘Crazy for You’ by Madonna. Britney Spears was an enthusiastic supporter of his song choice. “Your voice will be really, really cool and smooth on that,” she assured him.

Paige Thomas was told her performance last week on 'X Factor' was nothing more than a karaoke version of a song, so Demi Lovato wanted to make sure it didn't happen for a second time.

Simon Cowell made sure to let the world note that his first group to perform, Lyric145, changed their song choice at midnight the night before, and only had a few hours to practice their songs, which would be a mix of a Katy Perry tune and a Queen hit.

Beatrice Miller, with her knit hat and overall edgy look, performed Cyndi Lauper's 'Time After Time' on tonight's (Nov. 14) diva-themed episode of 'X Factor.' She's a diva-in-training, so here was her chance to show off her pipes. How'd she do?

Tate Stevens won the most votes on ‘X Factor’ last week, but does he have what it takes to be the overall victor? On tonight’s episode of the show (Nov. 14), he performed a passionate and heartfelt rendition of Shania Twain’s ‘From This Moment On,’ leaving behind a lasting impression on the judges.

And so tonight marks another live episode of 'X Factor,' and sadly, we still have to deal with Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez as our hosts. And if Khloe's shiny dress is any indication on how this is going to go, it's not a good sign. Hello distraction!

One Direction made a big splash when they performed on 'X Factor' last week, not just on viewers, but also on the judges and talent. No one can stop talking about 1D!

There's a multitude of live results shows airing tonight -- okay, maybe two isn't a multitude, but you get the picture. Both 'X Factor' and 'The Voice' will go head-to-head in a live results battle of epic proportions, probably much to the dismay of Simon Cowell.

On tonight's (Nov. 7) episode of 'X Factor,' the final 13 were asked to perform for audience votes by singing songs from the movies. Wait, what? The final 13? There were only 12 after last week's ep. Is that a typo? Nope, it's not.

- Britney Spears said she will be back for another season of 'X Factor.' - Demi Lovato has denied rumors that she is seeing someone new. - Listen to a remix of Usher's 'Numb' courtesy of Samuel! - J. Cole announced the name of his sophomore album...

We're so excited! Britney Spears has been engaged to fiancee and manager Jason Trawick since December, and she's finally planning her wedding.

Simon Cowell can be pretty cantankerous to begin with, but he's really cranky following the scheduling disaster for 'X Factor' on Wednesday night (Oct. 17).
